I've finally reached 100 listings, today. It's taken me almost 2 years to get there! I plan to add a few more for the holidays.

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

Thanks to all of you for the tips and guidelines you share everyday. I've been working hard on SEO, photos, descriptions, etc. and it seems to be paying off! I've had three sales in two days, which is huge for me. I'll continue to read your posts and take advice so that my shop will be truly successful.

Etsians are the best!

Got my banner made for my new team...."The Spinner's Web". Now I feel we are officially a team! Also, will be going to a local event called "Davy Crocket Days" and friend has agreed to pay for it for me so I'm allowing her to be my partner there. I agreed to buy her lunch in exchange. The event is a pretty big event in our little community.

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

Finally serious about my shop. Been doing a lot of SEO, tag fixing and have finally made it to Google. Been a hard long climb but, I'm not to the top yet.
49 sales and I hope many more to come, not just me but to all.
Congratulation to all of you with many more sales to come to all.

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

I am so tickled pink and blue and all the colors of the rainbow to share with you all that my emerald green hand painted burlap pillow has been featured on the cover of Better Homes and Gardens Color Made Easy magazine!

https://www.etsy.com/listing/128004054/featured-on-the-cover-of-better-homes?ref=shop_home_feat

Ironically enough, I haven't had any reallllll success in terms of numbers and I have tried every trick in the book to increase my sales....except pitch my shop to blogs and magazine because I haven't had the confidence and nerve to promote myself in this way. And out of the blue I was approached by the BHG editor about featuring my pillow (and possibly 2) on the cover of BHG!! Whew! I almost fainted. I hope this magazine feature really turns things around for me. In the meantime, working feverishly and meticulously to get more items in my shop. I am soooo excited!!! :D

Congrats to everyone on their own special achievements and cheers to many many more milestones!

I have checked out alot of the team chat today, commented on several, grabbed an opportunity to use sunlight for photo's of 11 new items, replied to several messages on here and facebook, posted an order and collected a fabric delivery from the post office. I'm pleased i was very productive today despite my 6 month old not sleeping a wink!
