Boy was I right! I love seeing all these beauties together! Speaking of Crafty Stickers … back my POPULAR DEMAND… the sunflower sticker has been restocked! 🌻 That is the only design I get emails about when it’s out of stock so I figured I better restock it for y’all, especially since fall is sneaking up on us. https://acraftyconcept.patternbyetsy.com/shop/30150125/stickers

I went to college for many different things. First it was Public Relations. Then Communications. Then Engineering (that didn’t last long), American Sign Language then early education and finally I graduated with a general studies degree in early education lol. Now I’m a crochet designer and business strategist! I design free crochet patterns and teach people how to build a business selling finished pieces :) whoda thunk?

Still very bare bones, but it's open. Where do I credit the pattern designer of an item I listed? Does this go in Production Partners? Somewhere else? 4:25 ​I sell plushies at craft shows, but I want to start an Etsy page. I also like making wearables, could I have just an Etsy page for wearables while I sell plushies in person? 10:24 Is it okay to change my Etsy shop name since I just opened it yesterday? I didn't realize Etsy limits the name to 20 characters, and I've thought it through more completely since yesterday. 11:42 ​good morning! i am making coasters and small decor/ornaments for a christmas market. if these items don't fit into my etsy shop theme (loveys) what should I do to sell my products? 18:53 I’ve been hearing people’s Etsy accounts being put on hold and they aren’t receiving their money or being shut down. I’m nervous about starting one. What are your thoughts? 24:42 Do you suggest going to canva to print business cards or somewhere else? 31:35 How does Etsy notify me if my shop is suspended? 31:51 ​Hello! What is the easiest to use app/website/software to auto edit photos so they all have the same look? I want to make my Instagram look cohesive. Thanks! 38:26 I’m trying to do fall items but don’t have the colour orange as one of my brand colours. I am okay to add b/c it’s a seasonal colour or should I absolutely stick to my brand colours? ❤️LET'S BE FRIENDS❤️ 📸Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/acraftyconcept/ 👍🏼Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/ACraftyConcept/ 📌Pinterest | https://www.pinterest.com/acraftyconcept/ 🖤 Tiktok | https://www.tiktok.com/ ☯Join the Ash & Tay Crochet Facebook Group!

According to an article posted by @lionbrandyarn back in 2014 crocheting (and other yarn crafting) can Relieve Depression Reduce Anxiety Build Self Esteem May Reduce or Postpone Dementia Help You Relax Builds Community Reduces Stress I know for me personally, crocheting helps me manage my stress, creating this business has exponentially helped with my self esteem and the amazing crochet community is what pulled me out of my postpartum depression back in 2018. If I’m feeling really stressed I’ll go outside and crochet while sitting in the grass and grounding. It’s very regenerative! How has crocheting benefited your mental health? Feel free to share in the comments or just think about it to yourself as a way to practice gratitude. You can even write it down in your Crafty Planner in the “I am grateful for” section.

First off, you’re not alone. When I first started my Etsy journey back in 2016, I also didn’t know what SEO meant, and I was really annoyed a lot of people were telling me it’s important. SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization, and Etsy isn’t the only place where its important. Google, Amazon, Pinterest, anywhere there’s a search box, you want good SEO. So what is Search Engine Optimization? When your Etsy listing is optimized, it will show up in search results on Etsy. It’s that simple. You want your listings to show up in search results. That’s one of the biggest benefits of being on Etsy in the first place. So how do you get your listing optimized? There’s lots of different aspects of your Etsy listing that helps you show up in search results, but one of them, a dang important one, is keywords. You want to use keywords in your listing that people type in the search box when wanting to buy whatever it is you’re selling. Spoiler alert, people most likely aren’t searching the name of the pattern you used. Like “Gracie Doll”. They’re going to be searching things like heirloom doll, Handmade baby doll with accessories, custom baby doll, soft doll for baby girl… etc. If you have a listing that’s not doing well try to beef up your SEO by adding searchable keywords to your title, description and tags. Warning, if it’s doing well don’t touch the listing! If you found this post helpful tag an Etsy seller friend in the comments! Happy optimizing!

Did you see my Temu yarn review video? I purchased 4 random yarns from Temu and tested them out. Pixie Harmony asked in the comments how they washed up. I thought that was a fantastic question and decided to do a little experiment. I washed all 4 swatches in my washer then dried them in the dryer. Everything was on the normal setting and I used Tide detergent, nothing fancy. Ps. I know Tide isn’t toxin free for those of you following my hippie journey. I’m using what we have then making switches ;) As you can see each swatch turned out perfectly fine. If you wanted to be extra safe you could wash on gently lay flat to dry. There was a little bit of shrinkage but other than that they were in good shape. I hope you found this helpful! If you missed the yarn review you can find it on my Youtube channel :) Let me know in the comments if you find this type of content helpful!

.Everyone’s ideal customer is different and unique and should be marketed to in a unique way!For example, if you sell crochet pieces for children with sensory disorders, you can market gift pockets as the perfect pocket for holding small fidgets.If you sell things specifically for nurses, you can market crochet gift pockets as a mini first aid kit holder.You smelling what I’m stepping in? https://www.acraftyconcept.com/market-crafty-gift-pockets/

I had over 1000 Etsy sales in one month. 1000 sales! Some of those were for the Claire Bun Beanie crochet pattern but some were for multiple finished Claire Bun Beanies! I remember one person ordered 8 Claire Bun Beanies that month. I have a tip to help you get more sales in your Etsy shop. List your products BY COLOR. If you sell Claire Bun Beanies, and you offer them in 8 different colors, you should have 8 different Claire Bun Beanie listings. This is going to give you more opportunities to use stellar keywords that are going to help you show up in searches. It’s also going to give you the opportunity to use more ATTRIBUTES within your Etsy listing, like color, and help you show up more in searches. Attributes work like tags and are very useful for SEO. Lastly, its going to give your potential customer a good idea of what their beanie will look like when they get it in the mail. Becuase you have clear, well lit pictures of each color option. Bonus benefit of listing by color, you will create fewer steps for your customer to go from I want this to checked out! The more steps they have to go through, like choosing a color from a drop down menu, the less sales you’re going to get. Go update your Etsy shops today and split your listings up by color! You can thank me later ;)

I make home decor now but am not enjoying it. 35:57 If I have listings for items in my Etsy that I sell in person at markets and I have my square synced to Etsy will in person sales adjust the number of inventory in my Etsy shop? 38:17 What would you do if someone took pic of all your items? It was awkward and no one else could shop. 41:05 if my ideal customer is a stay at home/new mom, would having items for home & baby be too cluttered for one shop? should I focus on just baby items or can I make items for the home as well? 43:34 I would love a video of you showing how to pack order’s. what looks more professional box or bag? 44:37 How did you find all the people you needed ? 45:28 ​I created my own baby beanie.. Used your brim I made it 6" wide which was about 48 rows. So 0-3 months. Tried it on a 3mo baby at my market. it was 2 small tried 3-6 mo still to small.​Could it just have been a bigger 3mo or should I pull all my beanies because there wrong? He didn't look that big to me 49:05 ​Did you find it awkward to charge tax when people handed you cash at markets? 50:08 ​Hi Ashley- Etsy ? here- I currently have 2 shops (a print shop & the other primarily a jewelry & little bags shop). I want to incorporate more crochet but think 3 shops would be too much-ideas? ❤️LET'S BE FRIENDS❤️ 📸Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/acraftyconcept/ 👍🏼Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/ACraftyConcept/ 📌Pinterest | https://www.pinterest.com/acraftyconcept/ 🖤 Tiktok | https://www.tiktok.com/@acraftyconcept ☯Join the Ash & Tay Crochet Facebook Group! - An online community group that encourages self-promotion, encouragement, and support within the maker community! https://www.facebook.com/groups/ashandtay/ 💚MORE FREE CROCHET PATTERNS 💚 https://www.acraftyconcept.com/freepatterns
