Etsy Shop Up and Running

The virtual shelves of my brand new Etsy shop are stocked and ready for business!
My Shop

A few weeks ago i decided enough was enough, i was going to jump in head first and list my jewellery on the online marketplace. So far things haven't been overly successful. I have one sale.... and it was a friend. I'm hoping that things will improve as i gather more feedback. I seem to be spending a lot more than i am making!






I have, however, learned a lot in the last few weeks. Things that i never thought i would be learning; RSS feeds, Google Analytics... lots of technical mumbo jumbo that i usually try to avoid.

I have also learned that Etsy is a lot more about off site promotions, so i am now trying to promote myself wherever i can. In my first couple weeks i was fortunate enough to come across a woman starting a website that features online artists. Since she was just starting up she was looking for people to feature on her site. I managed to get in with her and my shop is now listed on her site, Alla Prima Art Mall. I am very thankful for the additional publicity since i am finding it difficult to get my work seen.

I also started a facebook fan page for Anemone Designs. If you have time, please stop by and "Like" Anemone Designs
