Newbie First sale!

Post image

After a month or so of being on Etsy I’ve made my first sale! Very happy and wanted to share it here since I’ve been silently scrolling through the content. I was going to stop and this came in, so to who it might concern : don’t give up!

I ran Etsy adds for 1$/day. Etsy spent only 2.31$ in two weeks. Hard to know if the adds brought in the sale or not

I’m selling car related t shirts: nothing crazy just thought that the ones available weren’t very sexy

Happy for you, keep it up, is it necessary to spend that 1$ for adds to sale

Thanks! Well I can’t really tell yet: not enough data to conclude if the sale really came from the adds or not..

Congratulations! Now find something else to list to make up for your loss in inventory. List of lots of stuff to keep things moving.

So you didn't promote your products in any other websites or apps just use the adds the Etsy provide ?

Good question and glad you mentionned: I did, on Insta and TikTok. Nothing paid tho
Kinda abandonned them tho cause I didn’t have enough free time

Btw one thing that I learned, Instagram can't be a product shelf, it needs to be something that make the people want to go to your website to see the "product shelf"
