July 12, Etsy posting and rebuilding my shop.

In May I went through all the different items I had listed on Etsy. I figured out the vintage items that have not sold in 3-4 years and revamped them for a cheaper price. In Mid June, I decided if I have to continuously relist the items and have to keep promoting them because they get no views, then they were to come off and be given to Goodwill. The items that were there for 3 years of the 4 I have been selling, well, time to get them off the list. I then went through a tremendous amount of changes for the shop. I changed titles, prices, pictures, and revamped my shops intro page. I found more items to sell, things I found at thrift stores or garage sales, or my closets. I wanted different types of items that I never sold before;Red vintage, green vintage, etc... that would be unique and different for the shop. I got the old children's books off that were not going to sell, cut sewing patterns that had not sold in 3 years. I decided that I will get more patterns in the future for crafting patterns, doll patterns, etc.. 
What I also did was go through the sales I had in the past and decided what sells really good and started finding or making these items. 
June was dead for me on Etsy, so that was the time I spent revamping the shop. Here are some of the new items I have posted.

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.
