Hi! I was recently invited to this community so thanks so much for that! I've had my shop open for a few months now but have yet to make a sale unfortunately. 

I would really appreciate any feedback/critiquing that anyone may suggest to get my first sale! Thank you

Hello!!

Can you give me an advice? Please check my product and tell me which picture you like more for shop? With gloves or without it. Thanks.

@YoursGemstonesShop Your shop is beautiful.  I suggest you keep adding new items to your shop.  More items = more traffic = more sales.  Once you have 150 items, Etsy will boost traffic to your shop.  But, to get some holiday sales now, I suggest joining us at our online art festival at: https://www.facebook.com/events/6582482165128830

As for gloves/no gloves, I suggest trying an experiment.  For half of your gems, have your hand holding the gem.  For the other half of gems, wear a glove.  See which one has the most sales over a period of time.  I tend to run experiments from 3 months to 1 year.

Hi everyone! I'm just coming back after taking some time for maternity leave and am gearing up to start posting new products on my store soon. I've got coloring pages and planner/organizing things so am going the printable route. Eventually, I would love to do actual notepads, planners, notebooks, etc. Has anyone else ever gone this route? Where do you find you can get notepads, planners, and notebooks and other stationary type products wholesale in the same place? I've looked at certain dropshipping places and wholesale places but can't seem to find one that has it all in one place. Plus most dropshippers are mostly t-shirts, mugs, and things like that. 

I'm also going to open up commissions for watercolors on my social media but am not sure if I should also try doing something similar on my store?

Anyways eager to get posting and updating soon, thanks in advance for the help!

@CatMastersonDesign WELCOME BACK CATHIE!  How are you and the little one doing?

I use Printful, but they don't have all the offerings you'd like (from what I can see).  But, they do seem to have several variations.  So...

[CatMastersonDesign]

@MikeKrausArt Doing well! Little one is thriving - I'm totally sleep deprived but the show must  go on, lol!

I've heard of Printful, I'll definitely give that a go. I'll also look into local printers I guess and see what how that route would go for me. Thanks!

[MikeKrausArt]

@CatMastersonDesign So happy to hear you two are doing well.  And I hope you have a good support network that can help you get a bit more sleep.  That is intense.

Good luck with finding a printer/dropshipper.  I just switched myself.  But, my focus is on prints/posters, which is quite a bit different.  So, still trying to figure that all out myself.

Also, I think you'd like our allFREEDOM lifestyle group on Facebook at: https://www.facebook.com/groups/allfreedom  It's designed to encourage happiness.
