Hi Jule ,
I wish that my store kept me crazy busy..but no..it doesn't. It just gives me a wee bit of "fun money" at the moment...hopefully though as I keep trying to find new items to list..things will pick up for me.
I find that to generate more business you have to do quite a lot of plugging for yourself. ...meaning you have to get involved with the forums on etsy once in a while, as well as blogging about your products, posting about them wherever you can ..(where it is allowed)
Etsy.com does not advertise their website..honestly..as much as I feel they could. It is a fairly new company...and from what I have seen they do not get "out there" like Ebay does to promote the site. So..that being said..the vendors have to do a lot of that themselves to bring the business in.
For one gal that I do know from here...Mugwort Maggie.....her etsy shop took off so well that she now sells tons of homemade laundry soaps...and now has a new website selling her products...And does her business full time now.That is a product that really took off for her through her etsy shop.
Me, I'm plugging along..slow but sure.I try to come up with new and exciting products as I can.
A lot of the farm gals here have become part of a team on Etsy..called "Farmgirl Flair Etsy Team"
Together we have a blog and also work on networking to promote items made by farm girls.I am a proud member of that team.
I have seen Etsy growing quite quickly with members over the last few months and I'd definitely encourage you to give it a try.
The cost of listing an item is cheaper than Ebay costs/fees.
I have noticed also that a few celebrities are starting to find Etsy..and as such..they sometimes will mention it on their shows..as such was the case during a recent "Rachel Ray" show..so..the news is getting out about the site..slowly but surely.
I think it is just a matter of time before more folks become aware of it.
If you create handmade items..I do encourage you to give Etsy a try...and come join us on the "Farmgirl Flair Etsy Team".

Tina...
I just found out that ETSY even EXISTED last week from a friend at work..she mentioned a lovely place with hand-made things! Aggh! How could I NOT have known! I love it! I'm now a true addict! Just curious as to how much business you do....Is it successful and do you LOVE it? Your shop is great! Love the cards! Does you store keep you crazy busy? I'm so curious! Write back when you can!
Most Sincerely,
Jule Ann #109
