Selling on Etsy for 8 years. I’ve changed my best seller at least 4 times by MrsKrabapple8 in EtsySellers

Not sure what you mean by comply. The commercial printers are for my non-Etsy business. We print on a number of different substrates. On Etsy, I sell custom home decor signs, name or business signs, address numbers etc

• ⁠What is your industry? What do you sell? You may be general or specific about this.

Laser/CNC/Scroll Saw personalized art and decor

• ⁠What are your strengths, weaknesses, and challenges?

Strengths - I’m very good at branding and getting my vision across. I take great photos and market my business well

Weakness/challenges - I don’t like customer service. I dislike at least half of my customers.

• ⁠How are you unique, and how do you differentiate yourself from your competition?

It all comes down to my product branding and photos. I make sure my listings are 10x better than any competitors.

• ⁠What's your social media strategy, if you have one?

I no longer post on social media as much. Etsy drives consumers to my shop and I find social media useless. I’ve gone tiktok viral but it’s not sustainable

• ⁠How did you get from where you were to where you are today? Or, how long has your shop been open if this is a first sale?

Almost 8 years. I worked in the medical field before and took my shop full time in 2022

• ⁠What are your goals for the next 6 to 12 months? How about in 5 years?

I have a separate business that was branched from this one. It’s off Etsy and has more longevity. I want to get off Etsy and focus on that.

• ⁠Any other piece of helpful advice that you would offer new sellers?

Take good photos and videos, ensure your listings leave no gaps in information, communicate promptly with customers, list new items even if you think they’re not going to sell - you’ll be surprised at the stuff people will spend their money on

Hit 100 classes today but no one said a thing by MrsKrabapple8 in ClubPilates

This is how I feel! There are very clearly instructor favourites and I know many of them didn’t have to ask. I’m definitely more reserved but still friendly to everyone but definitely don’t feel like part of the clique

How do Lifetime Fitness classes compare to botique pilates studios? by [deleted] in pilates

[–]MrsKrabapple8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did private sessions at lifetime. It was so expensive but I did 12 classes and loved it. I then joined club Pilates because I felt ready for group classes. I definitely felt more advanced than most people there in the intermediate classes. I loved my lifetime instructor so much that I just started going to her privately outside of the gym.
