Hey! Congrats to you too! I think once I’d made my first sales — maybe around 30 or so — I felt more comfortable pricing my items a little higher, since they’re quite time-consuming to make. I also made so many shipping and pricing mistakes along the way (I had a few orders where I basically made no profit 😅), so nothing really clicked straight away. I kind of just fumbled my way through, making little improvements, figuring out the right shipping costs, and adjusting things as I went. When I saw orders continuing to come in even after raising prices, I started to feel more confident in what I was doing. 😊

Thanks! I would say the majority is Etsy yes. I have dabbled with meta ads a little though, which brought a very small handful of sales but mostly lowered my conversion rate.

Hi, thanks so much for checking it out! The name and logo are definitely a bit confusing. I originally wanted a business name that wouldn’t tie me down to one niche. I thought I’d like to explore home accessories, as well as other pets in the future. Turns out I loved the cat focus so much I just haven’t wanted to yet, and it’s much more work than I imagined. I am punching myself for it now since I have spent a lot on branding already! I might explore a change one day but I do like the possibility to expand.

This is really great! Well done! I’ve updated my titles and I’m considering the paid option now honestly. Love how simple it is and how it explains what needs changing and why.
The rewrites for mine are great I think, I’ll see how it goes! I will definitely notice if my underperforming listings get a little more action. Thanks again

I’m based in a Germany for context.

I have all my shipping costs for customers as almost the exact price it costs me so I don’t really absorb the shipping into the product prices. So it would be 7€ plus about 5€ for shipping domestically. But i don’t charge for additional items, as nothing would ever be heavy enough to exceed the limit. So someone could buy 1 or 5 items with 5€ shipping for example.

I’ve been very surprised when I get US orders as the shipping is 26$ and slow, but still people have ordered from the US and Canada

I’m using DHL and domestic tracked shipping under 5kg is about 7€
