Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

Its so Nice reading everybody's celebrations on here. Although I technically opened my store last year it sat stagnant and untouched until the past 2 months where I have invested significant time and love.... and its paying off. I have had several orders in the past week and yesterday a customer ordered 7 of one of my items. Over the moon :) x

Today I got past 50 views (now at 56!), 5 listing favorites (now at 6!), and my first 2 shop favorites! My shop is less than a week old so I'm just glad I'm getting seen! Watch out for a first sale celebration soon!

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

In September 2015 I moved from Russia to Uruguay and realized I need to reborn my old Etsy shop that was opened in 2011.

Bad photos, minimal descriptions, I didn't know anything about CEO so I had to carry out a mountain of work to improve the store. Step by step, photo by photo I did it.

What's next? CEO. "Oh Lord" - I thought and started to read Seller Handbook. Rebirth and my self-training as an Internet Seller finished only in December 2015.

I received 2 international orders In January 2016, reached 290 admirers. But it's not important. The important thing is that I grew up. As a seller, as a photographer and designer. Creating Treasury awakens good taste and sense of style, you know?

So I'm celebrating successful restart. Hope to reach 100 sales soon.

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

I am celebrating because yesterday i had 107 favorites and 41 views. I have had more views at times, but am a little surprised at the 107 favorites.
Trying to figure out what I am doing right and what I am doing wrong. I am not getting any sales right now and have not for some time. So what am I doing wrong? Well, partly because I have not been paying attention to social media.
I do spend a fair amount of time on favorites page and if that is where all of my favorites are coming from that is good and bad. Good because my items get seen more but bad because if I understand this correctly most if not all the favorites are coming from other shop owners and not potential buyers.
Can anyone confirm what I am saying?
Thanks

I hit and exceeded my 100 sales goal (now at 117) ! I also got to design my first custom cover photo and shop icon/logo for a fellow Etisian, it was so fun and turned out awesome!

Jennifer, yes team faves help a little, but don't count towards relevancy the way organic views do. I would join a SEO team to help you learn more. That really helped me!

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

Yesterday, Apr. 14th is my biggest day on ETSY. I got 7 sales this day. And the amount is over USD600. I'm a little out of my mind. Yes, I think ETSY is such a amazing place. Because I just got zero sales two days at beginning of this week. Up and downs, yes, I learn to get used to it. Share with all of you:)

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

So excited to finally have 50 items in the shop! Half way to 100 has taken some time when you work by hand and with a toddler. Happy, happy, happy!

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

It's Spring!

I've started a blog which is still pretty rough but I am actually creating for the first time and not just letting the images fade in my brain. I have had over I now have at least one person visit my shop everyday which is exciting. I have received many favorites, but the next goal is to get a buy.

Is there any advice on how to go from favorites to buys?

Here is my blog
