Volunteers for critiques, please post here!

[#1]

Hi everyone!

I'll be hosting Shop Critiques in the Online Labs for the holidays. Please post here if you'd like to volunteer!

You can see the schedule over here:
http://www.etsy.com/community/online-labs

The Labs are recorded, and you wouldn't need to be present during the times listed on the schedule. If you want to see what critiques are all about, go to the link above, and scroll through the Etsy Success folder in the Video Library. Or check out the ones embedded at the bottom of this article:
http://www.etsy.com/blog/en/2012/the-four-keys-to-success-for-new-sellers/

I'll be able to pick a number of shops (probably about 20ish), but I won't be able to do everyone (alas!). Just in case I don't pick your shop, please check out this article for a helpful list for critiquing your own or someone else's shop:

I'm so excited - I can't wait! Thanks in advance, everyone!

I would love to be considered for a critique! I feel like I've already done a lot to improve my shop, but this isn't translating into a lot of sales. How can I up my game even further?

Hi Michelle,

I would love to be chosen for a shop critique. I've tried to make a cohesive and attractive shop, but I still only have one sale. The holidays are coming up and I would love some advice so I can make my shop the best it can be!

Thank you!
Emily

Hi Michelle,
Thanks for the opportunity!
I'd love a shop critique from a tried & tested & wise & beautiful person, such as you:)
I'm new, from Australia, work hard on my shop, listened to labs, teams, blog, etc & not sure what to expect for my first christmas season.
Would love some feedback & advice in general!

Thanks so much, Melinda

Hi Michelle!

I've been around for awhile........I attended Labs back when we had a room we sat in and threw paper airplanes to amuse ourselves (ha ha, remember those days?)

Anyway, I've tweaked and edited as far as I think I can, SO, I'm ready!!!! (oh, boy, I've come a long way, too)

Fresh eyes are needed to help me fine tune. Please!!

[Former_Member]

Yes please! These are so helpful for everyone

[Former_Member]

Does "holidays" include Halloween? Cuz I'm all ready for October 31st. Just a temporary thing for that particular holiday. I have lots of Halloween inventory, not so much Christmas. You can critique me if this applies & you're interested. Many thanks!

Thanks :)

I would be very grateful for a critique! I spend hours reading the etsy advice articles and trying to implement the things they say. But I'd be so thrilled to have some legitimate critiques of my little corner of Etsy. Thanks!

[Former_Member]

If there is still some availability, I would like to be considered, thanks!

[Former_Member]

I would like a critique! I've updated all my titles and tags, and that has helped with views and favorites...but it hasn't translated to sales. Conversely, I'm wondering if my descriptions may be too meandering and specific, and if this could have a negative impact on potential sales. Any help would be seriously appreciated!

[AppleWhite]

Oh! Yes please!

[Former_Member]

I'd love to volunteer. Thanks!

[Former_Member]

{crossing my fingers!}

[IrmaDesign]

[Former_Member]

Oh, I would really appreciate a shop critique! Pretty please. :)

I'd love to be a part of this! Thanks Michelle!

I would really love a shop critique! I've been on Etsy for almost 3 years, have 85 items in my shop, and now that it's fall (I sell hand knit accessories), I'm starting to have an average of 65 views a day. I would like my views to be higher, and would really like them to be translated into sales! I'm wondering if the problem is a lack of a cohesiveness look, unclear descriptions, bad titles and tags, or photos that don't well display my products? I do quite well when people can touch and try on my products- how to I achieve that success online? Thanks!
