The Latest and Greatest on Etsy

I have tried to do a lot of different stuff with my Etsy account but since we are touring and might be away from the computer and the internet for a few days at a time (lets hope not that long, but you know) and since we plan to sell everything we make as soon as we show it we can’t have a lot of art up online all the time. It’s a full time job to keep up with Etsy, so to make it easier on you, and of course us, we decided to only post one piece at a time. Yup, the latest greatest piece and its only available till the next newest piece is done. Then we will put it into our show rotation or ship it off to a gallery.

I know that most people will disagree on this being a good idea but I do a lot of things that people don’t agree with and it works fine for us. Plus I don’t really think anyone on Etsy is looking for fine art since its more of a crafty place, so I have to drive most of my own traffic and I can do just about anything I want to do, right?

I will try this out for a few months to see how it goes then I might go back to eBay or try to sell raffle tickets or something cool. I have no idea what would be the best way to handle my online sales. But I do know this, every time I have made an online sale it has always been someone who has met me at a show or seen my work at a gallery or some place. I know a lot of people out there would tell me differently and that all I need is SEO’s or the “right” tag words. But money talks and…. Well you know the rest.
