Time to regroup and refocus and get on with it! This was great, I have been focussing so much on branding and image that I havent actually created in quite a few weeks.

Whenever I'm featured in a treasury, I definitely add the page to my blog along with a link to the person's etsy shop (who made the treasury). I'm in the process of adding information about past & present purchases. It's no added trouble to give exposure to someone who worked to hard to add you to their wish list or those who put so much effort into sending a product wrapped in pretty paper & ribbon. I love receiving these gifts to myself!!! Extremely informative!

Just an update. Sales have increased tremendously for me and many etsy sellers. We just had a great discussion in the Virtual Labs at Etsy.com on Shop Critiques and it was amazing! It is really important for shops to diversify but, as long as that diversity stays in line with your brand. Your GA will show a high or low bounce rate if your have products that make people stay in our shop long or if you shop results in the opposite. I've seen an increase in how many pages potential buyers will go through, increasing form 2.4 to 4 pages or more. I really should have taken a screen shot of what my shop looked like in the first half of the year. What I thought was nice and interesting was actually pretty dull and boring compared to what my shop looks like now, especially my landing page! So it is definitely a good idea to take screen shots of what your landing page looks like and see what looks most interesting to the eye.

You would be so surprised at how much you can do with your time. Even now in these current economic times, many small businesses are diversifying! If you make large items, as some of my items take weeks to make, find out how you can use your same skills and materials to make smaller items that will add to the quantity of your shop. I just received a convo today from someone that was impressed with the "range of selection" in my shop. I have learned so much from many sellers from around the world and it really wonderful!

I agree with most of what was written. Guess I've got to get busy! My dream would be to have a "promoter" for my store. I will handle the creating, photos and item set ups and pay a percentage of the sale to a person that would do the rest....i.e. facebook, myspace, twitter, free advertising, etc., etc. The article was great.

These are great, great tips. I laughed when she talked about trying to have at least 150 items in a shop and someone said they could never have that many and she checked the shop and the person was selling hairclips. I make original design wreaths and sometime ago I figured out the time from start to finish of creating an original wreath and it was about 10 hours. I work 40 hours a week, have a house, a family and I'm lucky to have 20 things in my etsy shop at one time--I only wish I sold hairclips (no offense to hairclip designers please). Well, after reading Renaissance's interview I'm going to dig super, super deep and try to make more things. I'm so serious about selling to add income to my family (2 boys in college). I've been making a bigger push to be seen online---it's so hard to get noticed in a huge sea of sellers---but I'm never giving up. Thanks Renaissance for your words of encouragement to all. Hi.
