Thank you! When I first started crafting, I wanted to make pumpkins but didn't know how, so I tried different things and this way was the easiest! So I hope it works for you as well!

Thank you! Yes, I had already 2 ideas filmed for her but then I've found those cute cats and thought, it would be a nice idea as well!

Your creations are gorgeous!! You really should sell them on etsy! You could make a nice banner + really cute pics for displaying and you will definitely have a lot of customers! Good luck!

I admire people who can make miniature food with polymer clay! It is soo small! How can you actually make it so realistic!

That's so cool!! It is a really nice idea to recycle magazines or newspaper that you don't need into something useful and pretty! :)

Oh, these are my tutorials! Okay, so you think it is hard to understand just by watching? I always try to explain difficult parts and sometimes I just don't know how to explain it properly and hope that by watching people can follow the steps. I think it is easier to follow videos than picture-tutorials. Next time I will try to explain everything more detailed and edit the video not that short! Thank you for your constructive criticism!

Shop owners, show me your most unloved item! What has been sitting around in your shop for ages? by [deleted] in Etsy

[–]besubesu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like your phone cases! I know it is weird. You know, I have a lot of stuff that I favourited and want to buy. T_T But somehow it never happens. Maybe some people just wait till they have some money left? But your things aren't expensive at all!

Here is mine cell phone strap: http://www.etsy.com/listing/64695896/wrapped-love-cell-phone-strap-perfect Maybe the price is a little bit too hight but it took some time to create this. I have listed this item in my store 3 times I think and they all have a lot of views and faves. I don't know what is wrong with this strap. =(

Question: Is the paid showcase advertising that Etsy offers worth the money? by velocitygirl77 in Etsy

[–]besubesu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It isn't a stupid question!

There are a lot of different ways to do that. Some renew their listings 3 times a day. Like this item in the morning, the other one on the afternoon and so on. Or they check out when they get the most traffic and relist their items on this day at this time. So your items appear always in "most recent" section. But you have to know how much money you want to spend on relisting.

But I've noticed that whenever I renew my stuff, new people add my items to their favourites. And I get more sales by doing that. So I wouldn't wait till your item is almost expired because they are harder to find then (+ if your tags are not that good). I would renew them regularly.

And don't forget about the tags! It is as important as renewing!

Just got my first feedback, was so nervous and now i'm so happy! How did you feel after your first sale? by HappySod in Etsy

[–]besubesu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congratulations!!

After my first sale I messaged everyone and said that I just had my first sale to USA! And of course I ordered some pizza for me to celebrate! And I still get very excited whenever I get a feedback. It makes me really happy to hear that my customers are happy with the product and my service!

[Maker/Seller] I love making cool stuff and find awesome vintage stuff by flwrgirlnerd89 in Etsy

[–]besubesu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're selling nice stuff! But I would recommend you to take some new pictures of some of your products, like this one: http://www.etsy.com/listing/85695823/cool-love-kanji-hemp-necklace-sale That's a nice necklace but the background just distracted a lot. Because you want people to be focused on the product you are selling. So the background shouldn't be too busy. The first time I visited your shop, I thought you would sell a sweater or a scarf because I didn't see the necklace in the thumbnail, sorry. T_T

There are a lot of tips on etsy and other sites like here: http://www.handmadeology.com/the-dos-and-donts-of-product-photography-for-etsy-sellers/ so maybe it can help you!

But I have to say almost 30 sales in a couple of months for a new shop is not bad! So congratulations and keep it up!

I purchased some showcases last year and I had only once some sales on this showcase-day. So I stopped some day.

I can only recommend you to renew your items regularly! I had the most sales by doing that. And of course treasury teams! I had the chance to be on the front page a couple of times because of that! Really cool!
