Official “I need a boot camp buddy” Thread

[#1]

Boot camp launches on Thursday! Would you like a partner to bounce ideas off of, give you a hand when you need it, and keep you on track through this year’s Holiday Boot Camp? Connect with on of your Etsy companions, reach out to a member of one of your Etsy Teams, or connect with each other in this forum thread. Let other members of the team know what kind of buddy you would most like to partner with. Are they also a jewelry artists? Or maybe you’re looking for someone who also works with upcycled materials? Or maybe you want to find someone nearby?

I am also interested in a Boot Camp Buddy. I am in central Rhode Island. This will be my first boot camp participation. This will be a very interesting experience.

My first year and would LOVE a bootcamp buddy! Rochester area. I primarily sell photography and hand made aprons. Looking for someone to bounce ideas off of and to help me with getting the word out about my shop!

I am also looking for a boot camp buddy. Anyone who would hold me accountable and who could give some honest advise on how the whole treasury/circle thing works. I do have a blog and am active on FB.

Ohhh I would love love a buddy!!

Hello potential buddies! I've done a little Etsy selling before, but as a recent college grad I'm ready to devote myself more. This is my first Holiday Boot Camp and I'm a little nervous, but I'm confident that I can do it successfully (particularly with a buddy!). Most of my products involve felt, fabric, and embroidery, but I make jewelry occasionally. I'm looking forward to getting to know a fellow crafter or two! Hope to hear from you!

Hey! I'm an artist-painter, working full time, trying to do this in my "spare" time. I would love to have a buddy that I can throw ideas at or get ideas from. Send me a message. :-) cheers

[Former_Member]

I would be very happy to find a boot camp buddy. I think the accountability would really help me to get my shop up and running in a more successful fashion.

I would love to have a boot camp buddy! It would be great to have someone help me get through the busy holiday season... :)

I am fairly new to Etsy and would love a mentor/buddy to work with. My shop is all about pillows. Very easy to understand! And I am from the San Diego area, so I don't have a lot to complain about. :-) Please convo me if you think we are a good match. Have a great day!

[Former_Member]

I know I'm in this late, but I need a buddy! I haven't even launched my store, but I thought this would be a good way to launch myself. So I need someone who is motivated and slightly more knowledgeable then me. I'm not picky about what your shop is over, but mine is steampunk inspired items. Gloves, Hats, decorations and some jewelry.

[Former_Member]

Eeep, I'm late! I would love a buddy too! I've been on Etsy for a while, but have not really been active as a seller until now. There have been so many changes that I often feel like a newbie...

I sell jewelry and am starting a separate shop, Leelu and Lola, for floral crafts. This is currently a part-time job. I have a facebook, twitter, and a blog but am fairly new to all of that as well. If you're in a similar boat or think we'd be a good match as buddies, please convo me. Thanks!!

[Former_Member]

Still looking for a buddy! If you haven't got one yet and would like to partner up with me, please send me a message! Still quite fairly new to Etsy and learning as I go. My shop's currently selling handmade jewelry (although will be selling wedding and other gift items in the near future). Would love to partner up with anyone who thinks we might make a good match =)

[Former_Member]

I got a buddy! Yiipppeee!!! Can't wait to get this going!!!!

[Former_Member]

I joined last year but didn't make much effort....lack of motivation and time but this year I am determined to do better.
I am a calligrapher and maker of small books and I would love a buddy to keep me motivated and I will do the same for you.

[Former_Member]

I am a photographer but would love to buddy with anyone, photographer or not :) I am in the Detroit area if there are any other Etsians from around this area?

[Former_Member]

I'm brand new to Etsy and need a Boot Camp Buddy! It would be a huge help to have someone to help me stick to my goals and to do list. I think it would be more useful to work with a buddy who is experienced rather than working with another newbie.

[Former_Member]

I'd love a boot camp buddy! I really need someone to push me to get items done and listed. I have a full time job and a rescue farm so I tend to be a bum when I could be making items. I make dolls and figures and do some doll restoration.
Please convo me if you need someone to bounce ideas off of, I'm great at answering quickly. I'd love a buddy trying to get out of their day job, but sometimes lacks the little push at the end of the day to get a project done.
xoxoxo,
Carrie Lynn

Message me if you are interested!

I'd like to try having a holiday buddy with whom I can work through the holiday bootcamp, but I'll be having surgery and out of commission most of October. I plan to be back full time though for the rest of the holiday season.

I'm a long-time etsy member and am a well organized jewelry producer. My custom order customers have been very happy with my communications abilities and versatility.

[FantasyFairyTaleArt]

I am still in need of a buddy.....it is my first year doing this activity and first year selling on etsy during THE SEASON! I work during the daytime and also attend night classes. So this is my part time business/side business.

WHAT I SELL: I sell handmade bohemian jewelry, hair accessories, odds and ends items, and soon to be many more creations. I am open to someone who sells in any genre just as long as they are open minded and doing this for fun too. I am a laid back individual....but I do like to keep my business in tact. Only type of person I am not looking to get paired up with is someone who sells vintage....and only vintage items. THANKS!

IF INTERESTED contact me! thanks!
