Yesterday I got a notification on my phone that someone favorited an item! No sales yet but that was so exciting!
I want to say, I haven’t told anyone about this blog or my Esty shop. For now I want to do it myself. Not the best business move and I can’t decipher if its because I am so nervous to tell people ? Or if I just want to see if this works without your immediate circle having to buy in first.
Either way, someone i DON’T KNOW favorited my item and I am so excited!
This mug is now my favorite design. It is a lot simpler then some of my other items and maybe that is a lesson on its own. I went all in on Halloween and my first item favorited is a Sims 4 inspired mug that I wanted to do because I just got back into playing.
This week is Week 3 on Etsy and I have been focused on deigns, best shipping options for Canada and uploading to Pinterest.
I currently have 29 Listings on Etsy, 5 more designs to upload and 48 pins on Pinterst.
Total Views the last 7 days have been higher then ever! A whole 12 views! haha Sounds like nothing but every other week so far has been 1-3 views so this is an improvement!
On Pinterest we are sitting a 386 reviews, up 13% from last week but less engagements. Though I am pretty sure the engagements last week was me looking up the pins to see what they look like haha
Next I have to do more research on key words and items – I also have to plan my work flow a bit better. Right now I am all over the place. I need to dedicate one day to blog posts, another to Pinterest, another to designs and keep trying to upload one design, 5 Pinterest posts and day and expand my blogging. I haven’t looked up how many blog posts a week are good to generate yet – please hold – Google says, ” 1 high-quality post per week as a sustainable sweet spot, or scale up to 2 to 3 posts per week if you have more time and want faster growth. “
So add that to my list. Also learning you can make blog templates to make this easier. So far I have been writing from the heart and winging it. Let me know if that’s better or this is hard to read and you would like more structure? A bit more research to be done there I believe.
So lets keep working at this and I will keep updating. I am still having funs doing this and plan to continue. Should I make this a weekly update ? Every Wednesday I will try to create a blog post to see how we are doing.
Fingers crossed for first sale!!!
