Hey all, newly here. I got a message from Etsy yesterday the 9th after listing my first 4listing on the 8th and it says I should starts running an Ads campaign so as to drive traffic to my shop. My quest is, should I start running Ads at this very beginning with NO SALES yet or hold on for sales to start coming in first? I’m really not sure running ads now will hurt my account in the long run.

Hey guys, How’s everyone getting on with their journey? If you’ve made some progress recently, share it below. It could be finishing your first design, getting your shop open, publishing a listing or making a sale. Small wins count too! And if you haven’t started yet, or something’s holding you up, let us know. Is it creating designs, learning Etsy, using PrintShrimp, just finding the time, or something else? Share a win, ask a question, or tell us what you’re working on. I’d love to hear how you’re getting on and see where we can help.

Day 10 of my shop being open and I have my first sale 😊. I just hope it all goes smoothly, I suffer with anxiety and I wont settle until I know the customer has received the print correctly and I haven't messed up along the way with my print files.

Hello everyone, I sold my first non A size print over the weekend, I got the message from printshrimp, and the option to Stretch the print, which I did. Does anyone know what the print will look like? Has the whole print been stretched or just the border. The print file was A2 size 300dpi and about 10 mb the order was for 24 x 36 inches. I'm a bit concerned that it will not look good. Is there a way I see the new print file to make sure I'm happy with it. I am new, about two months in, 5 sales and this is my first non A size sale, got a 5 star review and really don't want to mess up just as the shop seems to be getting some views and traction. Thanks Julie

Just wanted to say I’ve hit 63 sales and over £2500 in sales, with a couple reviews in 3 months with only 80 listings… I know I need more listings is the main thing, how else can I scale this? Increasing ads? Clearly my products are working and getting around 2 sales a day currently and tons of items in baskets, Any tips?
