The December magazine is live and we’re only one month away from Christmas! Take a break from fufilling all those orders because we’ve got some great stories for you this month! If you’ve ever been fed up with Etsy, custom orders, or feeling trapped in inventory creation, you’ll want to read Missy’s story! She closed her Etsy shop and started creating OOAK products in small batches that she sells through Instagram! It’s a low-stress way of structuring her business that allows her to stay in control and create at her own pace.
“I had a desire to stop taking orders altogether. I wanted to make what I wanted, list it in my shop, sell it and then make more.”
– Missy Luukkonen from The Little Green Bean
Our second featured seller, Charlie, shares how she gets most of her social media traffic through Pinterest. It took a lot of trial and error (including two years of posting on Twitter every day) to figure this out, but eventually she fine-tuned her marketing and established where she could generate the most traffic from. We love her story because it demonstrates why there’s no need to get discouraged when when something doesn’t work, like a marketing campaign. Keep testing and keep trying because there IS a way to get the word out about your business and it’s the perfect fit for you.
“I didn’t know how successful I was on Pinterest until I looked at the amount of traffic my Etsy shop was getting from it. 99% of my social media traffic came from Pinterest despite trying hard on all of the other platforms!”
– Charlie Arnold from ZUT Hats
