"It takes time"
I have heard that a lot about getting traction and sales. I have 3 shops up and running one with 225 listings, one with 216 and 1 with 316 listing. All are running sales with free postage and a processing profile of 1 day. I have done some SEO verification and have started pinning listings to one Pinterest Business account, so far. I will start on the other 2 shops as well. Is there anything you can think of I can / should do apart from......................................................wait ⏲️ OR Add more listings 😊

@Camilo Palacio So to your comment, I will meet you 1/2 way 3 shops is too much so I have focused on 2 stores landmarks and stoic quotes after re-purposing them. Landed my 1st landmark sale for one store and 2 sales with a total of 5 posters for my quotes stores. So you only look 1/2 stupid.

So I have my first sales and this may have been generated on a couple of things which I can share. Note i am sharing not to brag but just to share my experience. I started with three stores but cut it back to 2. The third is running but I give no focus. One store is always open in edge for etsy and printshrimp and the other store is in chrome. If you was new email accounts that are easily tied to your store try proton https://proton.me/mail so as an example if your etsy store is called "potatoes" then you can create and email potatoes@proton.me its free for what you need. To validate my seo's I did some random tests, using printshrimp to do bulk uploads and create the etsy seo's etc is a god sent, but I ran a couple through Claude to validate. I also use claude to create midjourney prompts and generate the quotes. I batch those by 10 into printshrimp and add 1 of the 10 to the business pinterest account. It is important to note that your AI agent (if you use one..............and you should where it can save time) may say as an example "to get sales say you ship with in 1 business day. Most people would be ok if it wasn't shipped in 1 day but some may not. I say this because printshrimp clearly states their production times. But generally your comments are right it take ALOT of time to set things up. I have 660 posters and about 350 in my shops. I add one batch of 10 and 1 pinterest when I have a spare 10 minutes. When I asked Claude what I was missing / doing wrong. I came up with an Occam's Razor answer. You need feedback and that how you build trust and hopefully build momentum. But there lies your catch 22 how do you generate those sales to get the feedback to build momentum................................................... one last nugget, when you set up your template in Printshrimp framed and unframed prices It defaults to GDP, or so you might think. But is (as in my case) I am selling in AUD I populate the price fields in AUD.
220 Sales in 5 Months! 🎉
Just wanted to share a little milestone and hopefully encourage anyone who’s just getting started. My Etsy shop has now reached: ✅ 220 sales ⭐ 4.9★ from 38 reviews 🛍️ 1,476 listings 📅 5 months old The first couple of months were definitely a learning curve while I found my feet and figured out what worked. It hasn’t all been plain sailing either. I’ve had refunds, difficult customers, and one review that took my shop from a perfect 5★ to 4.9★ because the buyer hadn’t realised the artwork was AI-generated. It was disappointing at the time, but it’s all part of running a business and you learn from every experience. A massive shout-out has to go to Tom at Print Shrimp as well. He’s been a huge help throughout this journey and has always given honest advice. When I was looking at subscriptions, he could quite easily have encouraged me to move onto the 1,000 listings per month plan, but instead he told me the 500 listings per month option would be more than enough for where my shop was at. That kind of honesty is rare these days. His advice on the bulk listing method has also saved me loads of time and made managing a large number of listings so much easier. It’s genuinely made a big difference to growing my shop. Overall though, staying consistent, improving my products, listening to feedback, and consistently adding new listings has really started to pay off. There’s still a long way to go, but I’m really happy with the progress so far. I’d love to hear how everyone else is getting on! - How old is your shop? - How many sales are you on? - What’s been your biggest win or lesson so far? Thanks again to Tom and everyone in this community. I’ve learned so much from reading everyone’s posts and advice, and it’s been a massive help on my journey. Looking forward to hearing how everyone else is getting on! 🙌
