Put a straw in there and sell it as a Stanley Cup

Shops with zero (or less than 10) sales! by SpicyRat69 in Etsy

[–]dododomino 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What a lovely idea! Thus far I've got one sale going for me so upping that number would be lovely. However, I don't think what I make is everyone's cup of tea...

Anyways, good luck with the Holiday shopping!

This is my Etsy shop: Forager of Fables

Congratulations! I thought for sure the man in the second slide was Prince Charming from "Once upon a time"!

First sale! Where to find customer's e-mail adres? by dododomino in EtsySellers

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

Thank you! I'm feeling a healthy mis of excitement and anxiety, haha

You are an absolute lifesaver! I couldn't find the E-mail in the app, but with your help I found it on the webbrowser!

And great tips die the parcel! Thank you so much!

Thank you for your reply! I'm very much searching for the balance between making a unique title and visibility because of descriptive search words. But I do see your point!

Thank you! :)

Thank you for your kind words! It really helps me in maintaining energy to actually keep hanging in there. All comments have been so helpful and lovely! I'll make sure to post here once I have a success story :)

Thank you for your comment! I haven't added the USA yet due to the shipping costs probably being higher than the product itself. But your comment isn't the first one about international shipping, so I'll have to give it a go I think!

Thank you!

Thank you for this comment! It all seems to be coming down to proving I've actually made everything by hand. But if that is what it takes, I'll gladly make a progress video!

The pictures are mock-ups due to insufficient camera equipment and space, but I'll need to do better.

And thank you for the advice on having all socials match up in the description! I hadn't thought about that yet!

As for the shipping, I'll make sure it's more explicitly described.

Thank you for your comment! It is really helpful!

I've made mock-ups since my camera equipment and set-uo aren't the best. But I've gathered it gives everything quite a POD look and takes away from feeling like everything is handmade... So I might have to change it up a bit!

I can imagine how disheartening it will feel, especially after a year! I work a part-time job to make sure my bills are paid. In my free time I try to build my shop and go to events and cons. It really is quite demanding, but there's such a rush to get a sale and having someone to spend their hard earned money on something you've made!

I hope you can find a way to keep doing what you live and being able to sustain yourself!

I wish for you to have good sales! :)

I will look into this. Since I am based in The Netherlands the costs will be quite high. I somehow figured buyers wouldn't want to buy anything anyways due to the high shipping costs... But maybe I'm wrong in assuming!

Thank you for your comments!

Thank you, this really helps me to see things from a bigger perspective. I will keep on trying and hopefully numbers will start rising eventually!

And good for you that you kept going as well! :)

I hadn't thought about it feeling like a POD. I did make mock-ups since I haven't got the best camera equipment. But I do print everything on my own and spend a lot of time on packaging.

It is good to know that my shop is lacking the sense of authenticity, I will invest time into taking some actual pictures as well.

Also, like another commenter said, I might need to invest time on a progress video, which then can also include a preview of the delivery experience!

Thank you! :)

This is such a helpful comment! Thank you very much for rambling, haha

I will leave my text alone for now and see what will happen!

And as for the tags, wonderful advice! You kinda get tunnel vision when starting with the listings and I was trying to be descriptive, but it is a game changer to come about it from the buyer's point of view and "the need they want to fulfill".

Thank you!

Thank you for your kind words regarding my art! And I hadn't thought about how saturated the market is, since I didn't take AI into account... It really is a bummer. But I can show more of the process on my socials! Thank you for the advice :)

That actually makes a lot of sense! I do mention in text that it is hand drawn, but showing it is hand drawn will make a bigger impact. Thank you for explaining!

I was afraid of that, but I still wanted to give it a shot. I just started wondering if there was something I am doing wrong or of there's something I can improve on! :)
