January sales on Etsy, and the Etsy Heart Exchanger

Image
After my last post, I ended up with many sales for January. I had several on both Etsy shops. I had 7 sales in them and I was able to finally get a few items sold I otherwise was not able to for years. One of them was a little Napco figurine that I had listed for 3-4 years. I was going to let the listing run out on Etsy and put it up in my home because I figured it would not ever sell. So now it is at a new home and I do not have to do that. I have listed a good amount in January and made some new cross necklaces and working on a new Wall cross. I will get it done sooner or later. I will then be finished with the wall crosses until later on when a few have sold. I found a new extension that is called the 'Etsy Heart Exchanger' on Google. It really helps to get the views and hearts needed daily for your shops.  New cross necklace s https://www.etsy.com/listing/495266922/silver-cross-disk-necklace-19-inches?ref=listing-shop-header-0

Why should a buyer use Etsy for their buying?

Today is October 24th and I have not posted in more than 2 months on my blog. But, today I decided to do so because I feel this is important. I started selling on Etsy over 5 years ago and it has been an up and down ride for me. Sometimes it has been steady for months. But, this year, Etsy changed some staffing and changed a great deal for the sellers to post their items better and easier.  I sell vintage, jewelry, hand crafted, and now clothes and purses and scarves. Well, I have decided to add these type of items to sell on Etsy because of the fact that Etsy has done all they can to help us sell. They added 5 more photo spots so the buyer will get a better idea of what they are buying. They added sales and free shipping options for us and it is seen on the pages as you look at an item. They also now offer gift wrapping, and this is an option you can decide on whether you want to do that or not. Yes they made some decisions that bothered me, like losing the treasuries and messing...

Etsy changes again

Please check out my Etsy shops:  https://www.etsy.com/shop/StreetCrossingDesign https://www.etsy.com/shop/VickiesVintageRoom I have many new things I have listed and more to come on both names. This past month in May Etsy rolled out their new Shop Manager. They took away our views that we were getting to just the few from actual people who go to Etsy and click on our pages. So now we all have to work 20x harder to get our views instead of focusing on adding more items to our shops or creating. Maybe we were getting some bots in there with some of the stats but that was up to us if that is how we really liked it.  I also see where you have to add 500 characters or 100+ words to your descriptions now. They really push this and even after you fix it and I add 200+ words they still do not take off your little note that it needs to be fixed.  It is okay that they let us know about the pictures, that we need 5, but I am aggravated over this idea of how the photos sh...
