Welcome to Panda’s Adventure in Etsy Selling. I am writing this to help me, as well as other Etsians, who also want to reach greatness in their shops! When I opened my shop, I wanted to sell 100 items. I am always thinking, “Oh, I should re-do all of my pictures” or “Man, I wish I could be in a many treasuries as that person”. Well, I looked at the Etsy Success blog, and clicked on the List of All Posts, and was overwhelmed. I told myself I’d do it later. Later never comes, in case you were wondering! This past week, I have gone back, and sorted out all the posts and others into my own “curriculum”. It will take about 25 more weeks to cover everything! So here’s week one!
Took me less than 30 minutes to read all of these things and do my ‘homework’. Have fun!

Don’t forget to check out the SASSY Critiques Team, they can give you a good, honest critique, so you know what you need to work on.
Homework: We’ll start easy. Make a list of all the things you need to work on. But don’t just beat yourself up! Also list what you do well.
What I think I do well:
Unique items
Fair prices
Good variety (3 styles of items, but all for 8 yrs. – 16 yrs. girls)
What I know I need to work on:
More items
More views/SEO
Better photos
… To name a few
Next week we’ll work on our shop appearance. Hope you come back!
Question: What kind of banner/avatar do you like for a shop?
Got any great critique articles/links? Post them here!
