December 2016 has been my best month for selling on Etsy, EVER.
Here it is the 20th of the month and I have had 13 sales. (14 items) Last December I had one sale. It was a good one, but just the one.
I have been trying to learn more about selling online and I guess some of what I've learned is paying off. I've learned that you absolutely have to connect on other social media like Pinterest and Instagram. I think those two have given my shop more exposure. (Thanks to my daughter for her social media expertise.)
That's done by "pinning" my own items to Pinterest boards, and posting pictures of my for sale items on Instagram using hashtags that are popular with other people who love vintage items.
