Finding time + a system

[Former_Member]

I loooove my hobby and I love creating things! One of my biggest issues conserning Etsy is finding time to take photos and list items. I just don´t seem to be able to get the hang of it.

I have a list of things I prioritise at the moment and one thing I just checked off of my list was to create a simple system for printing and writing invoices. Such a relief! Now I just need to find a system for taking photos and listing.

I work more than full-time so if feels as if I have limited time, but I know I'm not along.

How do you best photograph + list items? How often? How much is your goal?

I will take pictures once i have at least 6 bags done. I try to do it in bulk and get it over with.
I am lucky in the fact that my boyfriend edits all my pictures. Once he gets them ready i will list a couple every day in the morning before work and a couple after.
My goals will very month to month. I try to list at least one thing a day.

I agree with Danielle - Doing batches of items saves some time. Though, I've found sometimes I get overwhelmed when I have a lot of pics to edit at once. Do what you feel comfortable with. It doesn't work for my shop because each item is different, but if you can take stock photos to use for multiple listings, that's the way to go.
