Good Evening
I am new to Etsy and not a technical person...not at all :(
Therefore, I am open to advice and tips on getting my little Etsy store up and running in a way that is attractive, makes viewers want to buy something.
I make soap. I know, nothing new in this world. But...I have been making soap for 20+ years and decided to try marketing it, in the cyber world. I sure could use some advice and tips. thanks.

Hi, Becky!

I really like your shop. I noticed you don't have a banner and you should. Also... about the photos... they are beautiful, but they would be even better if they were lighter and they wouldn't have the date on them. :)

Your descriptions are great also. Overall it's a beautiful shop.

Happy sales!

All love, Andra

Hello Andra

Thanks for the feed back. I've tried and tried to download a pic for a banner, but it won't accept. It will not even save the info I want on the banner. Any suggestions?

thanks Becky

The banner should be 710 x 100 pixels. If you Google "Etsy banner online", you'll find some great free banner online application. :)

Hi Rebecca,
lika Andrea said it's all about the right size of the banner. Also if you don't want to have a pic on your own as Avatar (that's the image which is your sign) you can take a drawing or something.

I so know: at the beginning you have to learn a lot for you shop. But it can be fun.

Hi Andrea,

so LOVE your shop design! ♡♡♡ I'm struggling with my own shop logo and such. It's almost not possible to find something which matches my blog also I made the mistake to choose two completely different names :-( And so I've no idea now how to combine them...

Hi, Happy! :))

If you can't afford professional help right now, I've made a quick tutorial here: http://etsy.me/1CJTdyr

If anything is unclear, just ask me for directions.

All love, Andra
