Etsy
moocowinthecity This post is friends only as I begin my journey into the world of selling on Etsy (I setup my Etsy store today). I’m so excited, the entire idea of Etsy is just wonderful.
I’ll be making an Etsy friends group on LJ as I begin to explore how Etsy works, advertising, etc. So please comment and let me know if you’d like to be in it. Right now I’m in the process of making stock for the store. I think I’ll start with at least five to ten items of the smaller things (hats, scarves, pillows, mitzvah pockets, duct tape messenger bags) and two or three of the larger things (quilts, alphabet books, etc.) before I take my store public.
It’s my hope to have the store up and running with merchandise by May.
If anyone’s a seller on Etsy, I’m totally open to hearing advice, I’m very new at this (though certainly not to selling things on the internet…I remember when eBay first opened). Also, if anyone’s willing to barter their graphic skills for a scarf and hat combo or a duct tape messenger bag, please let me know!
I need a store banner 760 pixels wide, 100 pixels high. I’d like it to say “nomadmatan: handmade crafts for nomads, wanderers and their friends” in brown or beige. Ideally, I’d like the background to look as if it were part of mail-box view of an embroidered world map (focusing on the Middle East of course). First one to call it gets a free, hand made scarf and hat with the colors of their choosing (you just have to let me know how big around your head is) or a duct tape messenger bag.
Anyway, time to shave and then pack my bag for tomorrow…it’s looking like it’s going to be a busy day at the office.
Peace :o)
