How's Your etsy Shop Doing?

[PinkyK]

Because I'm too lazy to re-list all of my shipping prices I extended my Friday the 13th sale on all creepy items and jewelery for the whole weekend.

I have been busy making stuff for my shop and getting my house ready for my parents to visit next week and I just don't have the energy to put the shipping back into all of those items right now....

It's not procrastination if you make stuff.

Now really, I have to go paint.
I'm totally behind on custom paintings, and I'm playing with beads!

Gah!

Everyone has listed such beautiful things the past couple days! I've been out of the loop 'cause I've been insanely busy!

Hehe...don'tlookback, I'm am so happy to have finally bought the green bag. I've loved it for ages!!!

I am making a ton of things. I decided to do a craft fair that someone posted about on the etsy forums. It's only $25, which I should be able to make back fairly easily, I hope! I'm going to list some of the new stuff anyhow, then just put it in edit when I do the fair.

Question...how do you all feel about the art that I have listed? The ones with the girls from pattern covers? I adore them, but I'm not so sure everyone else does! I made a set of smaller ones that are hysterical, IMO....and I just scored some new ones at a great price when I was thrifting this week!

I posted this new belt buckle last week:

I should probably work on taking better photos of it.

That belt buckle kicks ass!!!! I love it!

thanks.

Still not so good...

I was told it was my pictures. So, I took new pictures. I think they turned out well. Still lots of views, but, still no new sales. I'm at a loss.

[wren2000]

just an FYI - the desription's wrong on this listing!

OMGosh...thank you so much. Don't know how that happened 'cause the tags are right. Oops. Fixed now.

And, I'm not sure what you mean because my materials are high quality. I use silver and gold and other materials that I get from reputable jewelry suppliers. I don't buy them at wal*mart.

But thanks for the input.

wren, skimming through your etsy shop, I find the backgrounds on your photos really make it hard to see (from the thumbnail) what you're selling. Once I click on the listing, it's ok, but the thumbnail isn't drawing me in (as a buyer).

I second that the thumbnails don't draw me in, Wren.  I think there is too much glare in the ones where you use the glass, and not enough contrast in the ones on the dowel.  Hopefully, though, V2 will help with that, and those of us who have small items that get lost in those thumbnails will have a much better time.
