I opened my shop officially on May 2nd this year it was four years ago that I "started" it. Because Mom was sick it was on the back burner. I'm pleased because things are starting to happen. I have my regular job *WORK* ha ha, then my real work. I try to post new listings each day. When I am not doing that I am taking photo's to post for the listings. Editing of the pictures is very time consuming as well as the detailed descriptions of the products I am listing to sell. Finding more time to throw is becoming a challenging! Last Wednesday i think i spent all of 5 or 6 hours working on my website. Most of the entire day I was on the computer.
Success, my promoting and Treasury Lists on Esty are beginning to pay off. My hits are becoming more and more and my circle of other Etsy members/artists is growing. We all start small then, grow, grow, grow. :-) I was delighted when some kind soul featured my shop on their treasury list, very exciting for the first time! She lives in Poland!! Simply amazing. Then that really started things rolling, one list then two, now three! but the exposure and attention is like a ripple effect, it's awesome. I had three jewelry orders from Sheryl , thank you Sheryl! Off to a great start, then on Tuesday after work I was checking my shops "stats" and it said REVENUE $$ I 'bout dropped the cell phone(smiling)!! My first sale was my beautiful large Celadon mixing bowl. I sent it merrily on it's way to it's new kitchen.
I have met some really neat women lately on Etsy,and thank you all for your kind words and advise. Lynn and Belinda just to name a few. And of course thanks to Jeffrey I! Bye for now.
