Live and Learn SEO

Well, it has been almost 3 weeks, no sales on Etsy.  2 on Ebay, 4 on Craigslist.  Very discouraging.

Well, I reached out to a Facebook group and they steered me in the right direction, seems my items were not showing up on Etsy.

Who knew?

I spent about 36 hours learning about SEO, found a cool website to generate good tags/search terms.

Now I show up on the first or second page.

I redid my graphics shop ( www.groovygraphics.etsy.com) and I did get 2 sales since.

The easy part is creating the signs, the hard part comes after.  People don't realize the time in photographing, editing, posting, researching tagging, and checking in to see if your all hard works shows up in a search.

Luckily I only work weekends, because this has been a full time effort this past week.

Even the cat is exhausted.

Now I just hope all this hard work pays off!!
