step two - list more items

If you read all the very helpful blurb that those in the know at Etsy write, then you will hear over and again how important it is to have well stocked shelves in your shop. For several reasons: your shop will appear more often in search results, people are are more likely to stop and browse and therefore you are more likely to make a sale, and of course, the more choice you can offer......

However, for those of us just starting out with items we make ourselves, the thought of listing many, many items is frankly scary. After all, the more items you list, the bigger the initial financial input and what if nobody buys anything? What are you going to do with all that stuff?

And of course, it takes time. Lots of time. I have small children,  a husband and a home to look after, a part time job, as well as training, so I tend to be on the busy side. Aren't we all? So just how much time am I prepared to put into this experiment? And how much money? Both difficult questions to answer.

As my Dad so eloquently put it, "Well, are you planning on making your living from this or just having a bit of fun?'
