My VirtuousHearts Etsy Shop is Open for Business
I have had an Etsy Store for quite a while, but didn't really pursue selling on there too much until recently. I am determined to try to find a niche there that will be profitable. I started with jewelry and crochet items. I have found since pursuing this that somethings work and some don't. Here are some of the things I have learned so far. Jewelry don't sell unless it is unique, vintage inspired, or vintage. You can't even give it away hardly. Next, follow trends and if someone else is making money at it..you will, if you sell a comparable item at a reasonable price. Baby items are a booming business on Etsy..make small things cheap and you'll sell more. Don't be afraid to change you products if what you're selling ..isn't selling. I love to create..so I create things I think are cute. If it don't sell..I can give it as a gift. Also, if it takes a lot of time and you have to charge a lot for it..try another item. Best profit is that item with the least time and expense..but still quality and handmade. Further more, supplies always seem to sell..and unique vintage/antique items. Check me out on FB or Etsy. If you have a great idea..go sell it.

Hi Crystal. I agree with you. These are good Etsy tips. I too sold on Etsy and it was hit and miss for me. I love the idea that you are going to create a Harvest Tea. By all means go forth and create!! It is a God given process and one full of joy from you expressing yourself. I love to do this blog. Funny thing was my husband dared me to do it or I would have never thought of it. Have a great week!
