@AllloveUS I know it can be frustrating to start out.  And trying to learn so much quickly.  But, you're doing well.  I'm glad you've joined the holiday sales party.  I suggest sharing frequently next Monday - Wednesday during our next event.  And, you can schedule your posts now since I know how limited all of our time is.

@MinnesotaNiceFinds WELCOME CLARA!  What a wonderful journey you're on.  You should be very proud of what you've accomplished already.  And we're looking forward to helping each other find more success!

Hi, everyone it's nice to meet you all. I'm Boybata! Fulltime 2d illustrator from Ph. I've been making art for a living for about 5 years, and I also make animations because that's the main reason why fell in love with drawing.  I do like watching a lots of cartoon series such as Gravity Falls, Adventure time and Rick and Morty.

Good Morning ALL!  Leslie and Ashley here (mother/daughter team) and our shop is Those Flippin' Broads.  Originally from the beautiful state of Colorado....living in Florida the last 33 years.  Our shop is quite eclectic with upcycled creations (furniture, décor, vintage finds).  We create with what we have on hand (reuse, recycle, repurpose) and with what my wonderful partner saves from the landfill (construction job)!  We currently have 15 sales (on Etsy since 2018 while working full time in the medical field, but FULL time Etsy only since April 2022).  Getting better and better at the "behind the scenes" stuff like marketing/tags/pricing/packaging/etc. as time goes on! Check us out, like our store, etc., and any critique (good or not) is ALWAYS welcome!  It is wonderful to have this type of support as a small business owner - GREAT to get to know you all!  Those Flippin' Broads (TFB)

[AllloveUS]

Hi how r u? Hope u do great here if u need anything,I can try to help. Have a great day 

[MikeKrausArt]

@Former_Member So happy you're here, Boybata!  And love the artwork.  Excited to see more!

[MikeKrausArt]

@ThoseFlippinBroads WELCOME TO THE ART TEAM!  You have such a fun shop.  And keep doing what you're doing.  More items = more traffic = more sales.  Once you have 150 items, you can start to concentrate on other marketing items.

[MikeKrausArt]

@JuneBug66Art We're glad you're here too!  We're going to have fun making and selling art together!

Hello my name is Breck Whitworth I am a professional woodturner/artist from Gulfport MS. The art inspires me but I haven't tried to sell any yet on Etsy because my bowls usually sell much better everywhere. Of course MS is not the art nor financial capital of the country. (LOL)  I have been blessed to receive many local, national, and even international awards/recognition for my art work and even a few of my bowls. I have just started my Etsy store and a complete rookie here so any help anyone can give will be deeply appreciated. If you are interested in seeing the type art I do please copy and paste my web site link below. Thank you for inviting me to this team.

https://www.etsy.com/shop/Woodtreasuresbybreck

My web site is:    woodtreasuresbybreck.com     I guess you will need to copy and paste my URL to go to it Etsy doesn't seem to allow personal web sites to link. 

[MikeKrausArt]

@Former_Member WELCOME BRECK!  You have so many beautiful bowls.  Right now, the best thing you can do is to just keep making more pieces.  More items = more traffic = more sales.  Once you have 150 pieces, then you can start to think about other features.

Also, if you're on Facebook you can share your creations at our holiday sales party going on now at: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1934458910278595

THANKS AGAIN!

Hello everyone,

My name is Roksana, I was born in Łódź, Poland. I studied Textile Design at the Lodz University of Technology where I graduated with a Master of Arts degree and then
I moved to Manchester, UK, where I currently live.
I'm an artist and illustrator, with many years of experience as a fashion designer like also a textile designer for different popular brands.
Art was with me since...forever and drawing,&painting are the most satisfying things for me. After being encouraged by family and friends, I'm gradually starting
setting all things up like website, Etsy profile etc.
I use different techniques and mediums but ink and acrylic paints are my favourites, but I'm not limited to them at all.
I try to depict my thoughts through dream-like visions, symbols, and blurry pictures trying to convey feelings of an untold story from an alternate reality.
and occasionally I draw a cat, dog or any other animal  
 I'm also an animal and nature lover - have two cats ( both 16yo), and every year I'm planting ( from seeds) flowers for the bees and trees for better air and nicer surrounding.
I like sci-fi movies and I'm a big fan of Star Trek "Next Generation", and I love many other things but maybe that's enough for today

@RollingMoonUK Hey Roksana!  Welcome to the ART Team!  You have such a wonderful talent.  And we're looking forward to seeing more of your creations.

Also, if you're on Facebook you can share your creations at our holiday sales party going on now at: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1934458910278595

@MikeKrausArt thanks Mike, It means a lot to me!

and yeah!  I'm going to check that FB group right now  

[Former_Member]

Mike I have more than 150 bowls I just was starting slow to get a feel for this. I bought plenty of shipping boxes from Uline. I haven't really considered selling my art due to the difficulties in shipping delicate art pieces. I will check out the Facebook link thanks for the opportunity. Just a couple of the pieces from my shop I would think.

If I do please let me know if prices are required or just for viewing. Again I am a rookie at all this.

[MikeKrausArt]

@Former_Member That's wonderful.  If I were you, the only thing I'd be doing would be adding more bowls to your shop.  That will help your shop make more sales than anything else right now.  

As for the Facebook event, that is up to you.  We do allow sharing prices and links.  But, some shops prefer not to share because of their various transaction options.  Whatever works best for you and your shop

Hi, my name is Claudia from London, England. I’m very new to Etsy and opened my earrings shop 18th November 2022. I have an art background but work in education. I love anything creative and started making earrings as a way to totally relax and be still in the moment. A great way to leave the stresses of life and work behind! I’ve had 14 sales so far. (Not sure whether that’s good or bad)

Seasons greetings everyone!

[ThoseFlippinBroads]

@BeautyandPride ....I visited your shop and ADORE your earrings!  What a wonderful talent you have!  Those Flippin' Broads (TFB)

@ThoseFlippinBroads 

Thank you for your lovely comments about my earrings. I’ve visited your store. Love the creativity!
