1 Week on Etsy. And my Etsy Stats.
I've officially completed my first week on Etsy.
I have had no sales yet. Which shouldn't really be too surprising, though I had hoped I could get my shop off the ground quicker. I think that's alright though--there's an interesting (and somewhat hopeful) forum topic on how long it takes to start getting sales.
My Etsy stats, as of 4/10 at 6 p.m.:
Time on Etsy: 7.5 days
Number of items posted: 11
Number of shop hearts: 4
1 | 4/3/10 | $10.00 | 33 views | 1 heart | |
2 | 4/4/10 | $10.00 | 22 views | ||

What I've done to promote my shop:
1. Put up items. People see them because they end up at the top of the categories page for a short period of time.
2. Posted a link from my normal blog, which has only 10-15 regular readers.
3. Posted a link from my Facebook page, announcing that I had started an Etsy shop. (I have about 400 friends on Facebook.)
I read an interesting blog post that gives me some good ideas on things I can do to market my Etsy shop. Basically, at least at the start, marketing your shop is probably as important as making items to sell on the shop. So I've got more to do.
I'm not giving up yet. :-)
