...if this will work.
Well. Our little Etsy shop is 6 days old. Those 6 days have been filled with obsessive compulsive behavior such as photographing the items over and over, tweaking titles descriptions and keywords, and refreshing the shop stats over and over and over and...
Perhaps the most embarrassing behavior has been the Google Analytics Real Time lurking. It turns out, you can see who is looking at your website at any given time. You can also see exactly what they're looking at, where they came from, and where in the world they are. I am officially a crazy stalker.
The thing is, I really want this to work! We made our first sale within 24 hours of listing our items... and the feeling was so satisfying. Now I am eagerly awaiting the second, third, and hundredth sales for our little shop.
The next step for us at We Who Wander is building up our inventory. We've been told that to succeed on Etsy you really need to fill up your shop with awesomeness. That's what we're trying to do. In the works are some pretty fun items such as a suitcase storage bench, burlap placemats, and a jewelry display piece.
We hope to use this blog as a place to share our creative triumphs and failures, as well as chronicling the harrowing journey of a start-up Etsy seller. We hope you enjoy following along with us on this new adventure!
