I just wanted to add my stroke of genius today... I use tissue paper to wrap my goodies in, and since I don't have many sales, my furry feline family thinks that the tissue paper makes a great napping spot... Great, except that it all gets wrinkled! My genius?! A cheap over the door towel rack to fold and store my tissue paper on as a snazzy "packaging" station! I'm ready for when the sales start pouring in **wink wink

That's a great idea! My cats get into everything! I have to hide my wire from Diego (my male) and hide tape (or anything with adhesive) from Nala (she eats it).

[DapperCatDesigns]

Mine too... I have 3, and they love to take turns on my lap, chewing on my yarn.... It's a good thing they're cute!!

I just got my first sale! It was a digital brush set for photoshop, but hey! I'm still happy. :)

Now I just have to sell one of my physical items... :)

[Former_Member]

Congratulations Morgan!
Nicole & Kristin, my cats keep me on my toes too!

I posted my 10th item today in my store, now if I could just sell one of them :P

[Former_Member]

Congratulations Morgan!!!! Good Luck for the future!!!!

[DapperCatDesigns]

Wow!! Looks like it was a great day for you guys!!! High fives on the sale and item number 10!! Keep working hard guys :o). I hear rumors the fun starts lat September/early October...

[Former_Member]

Good Morning!

Nicole, that is exciting news!

Day 10 for me ~ trying not to be totally impatient and obsessive about my stats lol

I learned yesterday that you do not have to use single words for the keywords, you can use phrases and that will help people who are searching for you. I hope that helps someone else here.

Have a great day, I have a full day at my real job out in the shop. My favorite, means I do not have to sit on my butt all day :D

Congrats everyone! <3
Oh wow, it's Day One for me... I'm both excited and nervous! And I'm also past the ten listings landmark :D

[Former_Member]

Got my 100th view today!

[Former_Member]

Made my first sale over the weekend!!! WOOHOO!

[DapperCatDesigns]

Congrats Julia and Jamie!!! Both awesome milestones :o)

[Former_Member]

Congrats everyone! Yippee! Jamie - the piece you sold is beautiful! I have had my first few sales over the last week and a half - thank goodness for wonderful trusting customers who took a chance and ordered from me with no previous sales! :)

[Former_Member]

Great work everyone!

[CallunaMuse]

Good job everyone!!!!

I'd like to post something I'm pretty proud of! After an entire summer of no views or favorites on my shop/items, I got over 200 views and 1 favorite yesterday! :)

[Former_Member]

Congrats Rachael! That's incredible - I love your fingerless gloves :)

[Former_Member]

I know it doesn't sound like much of an accomplishment, but I just listed my first "lovey". I should have a few more in shop by the end of the weekend!

Lately I feel like I've been swimming through mud with my shop. Lots of activity, but no forward motion. I'm really excited to have a new listing and a new shop section. :)

[DapperCatDesigns]

Great job guys!!! My newest adventure - I'm going to teach myself how to really knit :o). I can make a scarf, but I want to learn how to do the fancy pretty things :o)

Mama, just to comment on your feeling of "mud".... I think we are all there :o). From the buzz in the forums, the transition to the new etsy listing pages is not going as smoothly as one would hope. I've heard a lot of chatter about flat-lining views and I know I've had some things on my shop stats page that don't seem to make sense, so keep the faith! We are heading in to the "fun months" of Christmas shopping!!

[Former_Member]

I finally made my first etsy sale on Saturday !! I sold one of my lightswitch covers! I shipped it today! I'm so excited!

[DapperCatDesigns]

Great job! You earned a happy dance :o)
