I feel like I am failing miserably at selling on Etsy. I had one sale, and to be honest it was my daughter. She asked me to ship some seeds and soap to her and I told her that she needed to buy it from me. other than that, I have had no sales.
I started adding and renewing listings. There is not a lot, but unlike some other seed sellers, I actually collect my seeds homegrown. I don't have a farm lol, just get a lot of seeds from what I grow. I don't expect to get rich, more of a hobby at this point.
Anyway, my point. When I got my first sale, I received a notification that I had a sale. I have the Etsy sellers app installed. I usually log in at least every few days, and like I said I have been adding some listings lately. But I broke my finger and listings were hard to type for me.
I logged in today and boom, had two sales waiting...to be shipped today. I went into panic mode, haven't had any real sales as of yet. These are literally my first sales so I didn't want to screw it up. I had to package and label everything on the fly. Thankfully neither one of them sent me a message. Missed the mail carrier and just chased her down the street because she was doing our block. What a save lol.
Lesson learned...log in every day. But don't they notify you normally, especially if you have the app?
