Calling Fellow Etsians

Hi Everyone

I've just found this sub-forum and would like to extend a hello to everyone, especially those with Etsy accounts who sell like me

Anyone out there?

I thought that it might be good to share marketing tips etc

I would like to join you in a few weeks time :rotfl: I have a Folksy shop and have registered with Etsy but couldn't figure out how to do a couple of things while setting up the page. I just needed to spend time reading all the info to figure it out but 18 months later still haven't I'm working on my business more so need to put stuff in my Folksy shop and then sort out Etsy. This thread will hopefully motivate me :T

I have an etsy shop! Two shops in fact!! Are we allowed to post names or links to our shops in the thread so we can find each other? I sell handmade goodies out of mainly reclaimed materials and also fine art photography and printed goods. Made a sale this morning too, whoo!

I find my blog sends a lot of traffic to my shops, posting tutorials and things that people are interested in, they end up at my blog after a google search and click to my shop, and also using craft forums and being a helpful bunny where possible!

I'm afraid that would be advertising, but see this part of the Forum Rules.

Yes I thought so, I refreshed myself on the rules a couple of weeks ago and came across that bit. Thanks for posting Savvy_Sue!

The Crafts Forum may be the sort of place you are looking for, and it allows people to publish their shop's detail.
MSE is a great place in many ways, but it's a more public and varied forum. From my experience on the eBay board, people need to be very careful about giving out their selling IDs.
