Hi everyone,

I am Christina I am the owner of MyNurseCreations https://www.etsy.com/shop/MyNurseCreations/edit?ref=seller-platform-mcnav 

I am rather new here since the start of the year but mainly started in March. I create POD items revolving around the Dialysis or Nurse world. I am struggling to get traction and if anyone has any pointers or if anyone would be willing to give some feedback on my shop would be greatly appreciated. I started this to earn a little money on the side to help my family. I have 4 kiddos and work full time. Look forward to conversing with you all and Have a blessed day.

@MyNurseCreations WELCOME TO THE ART TEAM CHRISTINA!  We're so happy you're here!

As a new shop, you have two areas you need to develop: products and marketing

1) Products - Keep making and adding new designs.  More items = more traffic = more sales.  Once you have 150 items, Etsy will boost promotions to your shop.  And this will be important as we reach the holiday season (October - December).  That time of year historically accounts for 75-80% of all sales.  

2) How are you inviting people to visit your shop?  Here's a simple template I use:

The key to marketing is answering these questions:

1) Who are my customers?

• How old are they?
• What gender?
• What are my customer's interests?
• Where do they live?
• Are they educated?
• What kind of jobs do they have?

2) Where can I find my customers?  Are they on Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, elsewhere?  

3) How does my product help my customers?

Once you know the answers to these questions, you'll know what to do and where.

THANKS AGAIN!

Hello, I'm Conny and I'm from Switzerland. I was born and grew up in Lucerne, Switzerland, and I've been married to the love of my life from England for a few years now and we enjoy our life together here. We have two wonderful sons, aged 3 and 5, who surprise us every day and keep us on our toes. 🥰

I'm a creative person by nature and I'd like to fulfil my creative streak more in addition to my role as a mother. I like to create inspirational images and add positive affirmations or motivational quotes to them. I enjoy communicating a positive message through my art.

I am looking forward to being part of this community and exchanging ideas with you. If you have similar interests or just want to chat, please write to me.

Best regards Conny

@Pastetes WELCOME TO THE ART TEAM VANESSA!  We're so happy you're here.  And your ceramics are beautiful.  

And your shops seems to be set up perfectly.  Are you looking for advice on something specific?  Photos, descriptions, sales, marketing, other?

[Pastetes]

Hi Mike!

Thanks for your warm welcome! Yes, some advice about photos and SEO will be appreciate. Or any suggestion about other issues you detect, please!

Thanks so much!

Vanessa

[MikeKrausArt]

@Pastetes We're always happy to make new friends, Vanessa.  

1) SEO: Here are some tips: https://community.etsy.com/t5/art/ART-TEAM-FORUM-SEO/m-p/113559760#M2373368

2) Photos: Your photos are beautiful.  I'm jealous because Barcelona has the perfect sunlight for photography.

3) From my point of view, it seems like your shop is ready to make a lot of sales.  And that only leaves marketing.  What are you doing to invite people to your shop?

[Pastetes]

Hi Mike! Thanks so much for your time and your answer

I will check the SEO post in detail.

As for marketing, I'm not doing anything...

I don't have social networks for the shop or anything similar. Could you do some marketing action that doesn't involve having to spend time on social networks?

Thanks so much! 

Vanessa

Hi, I'm Yasemin. I was born and raised in Istanbul and I live in Izmir. I graduated from the Faculty of Economics and worked in the Accounting and Finance department for 10 years. I graduated from the Occupational Health and Safety department of the second university and master's degree. I am currently working as a part-time Occupational Safety Specialist in corporate companies. The reason is to realize E-commerce, which I have been dreaming of for 5 years. I have always been good at handicrafts since I was little. I have realized my original designs in many different fields with my own hand labor and I have made a profit with some of them. Now I am happy to sell in official and international ETSY. I love you all.

[TheWhisperWoods]

Hello all, 

My name is Ineke, i run TheWhisperWoods. 

I am what some may call a creative Devil player. Which means i have a thirst for skill and knowledge and i always like to learn new crafts.

I specialize in Leatherwork and pyrography but i also make wool belts, bone needles, candles, incense, paintings and much more. 

My work is inspired by European (Celtic~Germanic) and Scandinavian history, folklore and mythology. 

I was doing well but recently my sales have dropped dramatically, after a cry for help on the forums i made my way here through a friendly invitation. 

[MikeKrausArt]

Hello everyone !!  I live in Rize, Turkey and it's only been a week since I opened my Etsy shop. I purchased the bachelor's and master's degree in art history. I am interested in many different branches of art as a hobby. To get started, I chose to showcase seamless pattern designs on etsy. I'm happy to be here.
