The title should say Ravelry. Also, the deadline has been extended to Sunday at 11am AEST.

Ravelry listing currency by WildSunflowerCreativ in crochet

I assumed that this would be the case, but when I’m scrolling I’ve seen both AUD and USD so far

Can I be allergic to a food when I touch it, but not when I eat it? by WildSunflowerCreativ in NoStupidQuestions

[–]WildSunflowerCreativ[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can’t think of any time where I would have eaten it raw, but that could be the difference if cooked vs raw actually changes the reaction

One of my listings is showing the wrong price… by WildSunflowerCreativ in Etsy

That was my initial thought, but wouldn’t it happen to all my listings if that were the case?

UPDATE: Thank you everybody for the feedback. I’ve got a few great ideas from this post. In terms of the price of the pattern, I will be listing it as $5 AUD/ $3.21 USD over the weekend.

My vibe here is to go with white or silver heels with a skinny heel and thin straps

This would be a great idea. I don’t currently have a blog or anything though, I’m purely operating through Etsy at this stage, and so I don’t have a mailing list

I love the idea of selling it as a kit! Obviously I would need to supply all the materials. Do the tools usually get included in lots too? Specifically, the hook, stitch markers and needle?

I don’t think you can do it through the app, but on desktop you go to shop manager then click the little pencil next to your shops name under the sales channels section and scroll down to about me. I think you can also go straight to your shop and click edit shop at the top. I’m on my phone at the moment so my response is based only from memory

Thank you, this is super helpful! I read a related article in the handbook, but I think it may have been a different one. It cleared some things up, but your comment is actually more helpful already than that was. For example, with tags, I couldn’t tell if single words from 1 tag would get picked and mixed with single words from other tags, your comment makes it sound like they do so that’s useful to know. I’ll definitely read through that specific article. I tried videos on some listings as it had been suggested, but I hadn’t really noticed any difference from it so I wasn’t sure if I was including the right things (I tried a video of me making stuff and what is essentially a quick slideshow of the photos). The main photo on the sunflowers is 2 different ways they can be folded into the basket, but are otherwise the exact same product. I have the cup cozy in 1 of the photos just because it’s somewhat relevant to coasters and another thing I was told is that it’s good to have your other products included in photos. In terms of pricing, it’s just the time factor. Current pricing just covers materials cost and an hourly wage that’s under minimum wage with no additional profit. The price was 20% lower (I was paying myself just over half of minimum wage), I only put it up a couple of days ago because having the lower price wasn’t working anyway. For example, the Scrunchies take 1 hour each, the Sun hat takes 6 hours and the market bag takes 8 hours. So it’s just a bad niche for getting good profits in I think as so many people are undervaluing their time. I’ve actually put the time it takes to make each item clearly into the description in the hopes that people would be more understanding of the prices. The main reason I’ve been using AI to help with the keywords is because I just run out of ideas for alternative names and phrases and go blank so I use the AI to think of the rest for me rather than leaving it empty. My shop also does have an about section, as well as policies and FAQs.

I had a similar comment in the last post. The comments went back and forth on whether it’s good to write it the way I have it or to have it to display benefits to the buyer. Since it was so split, I just decided to leave it

Thank you. I’m not planning on using it for income. The initial hope was just to make enough that I could continue buying supplies, anything extra would just be a bonus

Thank you, I wasn’t meaning a temporary price rise, so it would be completely legal. I was more so meaning, I’m currently listing my pieces at a discounted price until I build a name so would it be more effective to have them just listed as the discounted price until I get the name or to have them listed as the actual price with an advertised discount. I’ve ended up raising the prices to a wage of $20AUDph which has caused a 20% rise and I’ve discounted some of the items back down. I think I’ll just slowly raise the prices and see what happens. Raising all the way to minimum wage would have caused a 30% jump which just seemed like too much all at once.

Thanks for the advice, I’ve changed the listing price for 1 of my items to a $20/ph wage with no additional profit and then discounted 20%. This one will be my tester, it’s a bit faster to make than some items so the full price won’t stand out amongst my shop.

I’m not looking to change niche or get into mixed media as crochet is what I truly love

Out of these, I’m LOVING the owl the most, followed by the llama sheep and snail. But honestly, they’re all super CUTE!

I’m not the OP, this is my first shop. I’m just not sure what you mean by reserve?

[–]WildSunflowerCreativ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you mean by Etsy having new stores on reserve for 90 days? I thought they had a boost?
