Etsy and Ebay hints to help with selling, September 2nd, 2015

I haven't wrote for a while so I am guessing it is time.

 A new thing I have been doing on Etsy is that I go into my Listings manager and check to see which Items have had less than 5 views a month and feature them. The yellow star features them at the top of your page on page 1 of your shop. It will only show up 4 at a time of your featured items. I try to promote these the most daily and then when they get 5+ views, I unclick the featured star, and the next 4 will show up. This has been helping my items get noticed more and this past month I had many more sales. I do not know if I will continue to get more sales like that, but would be great if I did.

 My second shop I do not have as many items, and it was my sons shop. He quit so I took it fully over for now.

 Another think I have been doing is making a treasury a week on each name. One of the names I promote the people who are in contact with me a lot. The other name I do a treasury for mostly newer people who I do not know. I want to grow my followers on Etsy, and this is great way to do so. Well, everyone have a Blessed September.

Etsy has changed a lot

I have been now on Etsy for 7 years. I have 2 names of course and one name StreetCrossingDesign.etsy.com started in 2012. My second name has been online for 5 years. VickiesVintageroom.etsy.com I have seen so many changes happen in the past 7 years. There has been new leaders who came in and turned Etsy upside down last year. Some for the good, but some for the bad. They are continuously changing things for us all and it gets very frustrating continuously making changes.  I am not making nearly as much as I did in the past and I am not having as many sales. I have contemplated going off Etsy for years, but I just keep hoping it gets better for my sales.  Last year I had double the amount of sales as this year. I am not putting as much in my shops to keep the cost down, but this I am sure is not helping.  I like How Etsy teams were fixed. If you want to post something and someone is to favor it, they have to go to that page. By doing so then you get more views. But, it is not rea

Etsy today, February 21st

Well, I am sorry I have not posted on here for a while. I have been trying to adjust to the new changes that Etsy has once again made. This time to the teams and forums. I have not been posting as much due to the fact that they take out the money immediately as soon as a sale comes in. If you owe more than you get on a sale, then you have your entire sale swiped from you. The Teams are no longer letting you show the item that you post of pictures. So you now have to click on each item individually to favor or heart that item. Oh well, you have to roll with the changes they make if you want to sell on Etsy. Life is how it is.  My shops are doing okay, not as good as last year at this time, but I will work at improving them starting today. Once again my shops names are StreetCrossingDesign.etsy.com VickiesVintageroom.etsy.com

Etsy Shop changes coming up, hints for helping with new shops

Just when I got used to the last changes to the Etsy shop. Now they are changing things again. I guess they are making it easier for the customers to see everything there is about every customer before they buy. Just the editing of the shop and the items I have already there, will be much more frustrating. If I want to move something from page 5 to page 1, I do not see a way to do this anymore. I am just to move things around with an icon or something.  https://www.etsy.com/shop/streetcrossing For more hints to help the shops grow. I got my 100 sales this past month. It only took me almost 4 years, but hey, I did it. I do not sell things that are always being looked for. I sell things that are hard to find most of the time. I try to sell things that I had once sold in the past if I find another also. One of the biggest things that I noticed that is important to do in selling on Etsy--> Those tags and titles . Tags have to be there and are important. I try to do all but 1 or 2.
