My Etsy Shop

After many years of resisting the notion of opening an Etsy shop to sell some of my crafts, I decided to give in. A few weeks ago, I decided to take advantage of the fancier and much more advanced sewing machine that Erich had given me for Christmas. I made a few blankets and put them on my Etsy shop
(www.etsy.com/shop/juliefunderburk).

It was scary, the nerves were all over the place. Will this be a waste of my time? Why would it be a waste if I am doing something I enjoy...duh, Julie! Anyways, within the first week I sold my first blanket and nearly 2.5 weeks later I have 2 custom orders.

With the amount of views the page is getting, I need to generate more business, because the reality of it is, I have had 1 order with 767 views. Hmmm...where am I going wrong. I think the following need to occur:

  • I need to build up my Treasuries, because Treasuries are displayed on the front page of Etsy. 
  • I need more product 
  • I need a variety
  • I need higher Pinterest traffic
Tomorrow I shall visit the fabric stores and pick up a few more items and see what else I can create to add to my shop. Do you have any ideas?

  1. you should make a Facebook page for your shop and you can post updates and stuff. also think about starting a instagram account so you can post pictures (to Facebook too) of your behind the scenes stuff (or your life in general)

    1. Great ideas. However, I just tried to create an FB and Instagram account with TuckedIn and yea, its already taken! Gotta come up with a creative name for the accounts now.

    2. Isis is right - FB could bring tons o traffic! Maybe "FundysTuckedIn"?! And I'm guessing with more products posted, more love will come ur way!
