Its really just a distraction from creating and posting new items.<br /><br />If anyone is interested in giving me some tips, please feel free!<br /><br />http://wendybethcreations.etsy.comwbjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11469901908012682696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3033557117750386635.post-77689875194613359752009-10-12T19:42:54.178-07:002009-10-12T19:42:54.178-07:00I think the root of the problem is the way Etsy is...I think the root of the problem is the way Etsy is coded. The views, the buyers, and reaching the audience that wants our items could in large part be corrected by correcting the re-directs and items being indexed as "supplementary" in Google. All the hard work and positivity in the world tends to get buried when those key processes are not set up for success.Giftbearerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11698066439644185753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3033557117750386635.post-14101022389416745122009-10-12T19:30:18.051-07:002009-10-12T19:30:18.051-07:00agreed. it makes me sad that we are just selling t...agreed. it makes me sad that we are just selling to each other, I wish there was a way to make the audience broader. <br /><br />i do an etsy feature every tuesday on my blog and usually pick a theme and run with it - it's fun. strings can be messy, those aren't as much fun.Lindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08328795659081872452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3033557117750386635.post-88181352151032936542009-10-12T17:25:11.763-07:002009-10-12T17:25:11.763-07:00i'm all about being positive. i truly believe...i'm all about being positive. i truly believe you get back what you put out there. i've only been selling on etsy for about 7 months, so still consider myself somewhat of a newbie. don't spend a lot of time on the forums because honestly, i'd rather be creating.<br />and i, too, think the cleaner and more zen-like a site is, the friendlier it is and the more i think it attracts people. too much busy-ness and too many gadgets just confuse buyers (not to mention me as a seller!). <br />imho, too. :)<br />btw - nice to meet ya'! :)Cindihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05057610754945031340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3033557117750386635.post-77430845951841908402009-10-12T13:28:48.730-07:002009-10-12T13:28:48.730-07:00ITA!

I have to say, some of teh people who have purchased from my shop are truly 'purchasers' and I have no idea how they found me in the thows of 10,000 listings....But I'll keep trying and smiling! thanks for the post!OliveStreetStudiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06988593412232029888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3033557117750386635.post-25930191016201416632009-10-12T12:16:00.511-07:002009-10-12T12:16:00.511-07:00Applauding (sp?) loudly.

I try and help out any newbie that I come across and many have commented that I'm the only one who's ever offered to help them SUCCEED with their shop. I'm no pro, but I'll share the knowledge I've learned. I also noticed my views went down when etsy changed their front page and changed where they list newly listed items. I used to get roughly 25 views the first day when listing an item. Now, I'm lucky if I get 2. Things definitely need to change!Missiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09930133046763092700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3033557117750386635.post-11201279092148270582009-10-12T10:39:06.540-07:002009-10-12T10:39:06.540-07:00Thanks for the post, very true.

I acually have started blogging about people and their shops who I find in the forums who are positive and just loving to create or who are doing something for a purpose and Friday PIF. It is so fun to convo a new shop and say, Hey, I featured you cause your shop is cool and good. Thats it, no money, begging, giveaways.etc. just becuase. Keep it up. I Love ETSY!!Becky DeVrieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12670706130310419292noreply@blogger.com
