I officially opened my shop in Etsy on Oct 30th , 2012... and it was for the first time I start doing business and for the first time doing an online business (at first I did not think this is business, I just thought this is what I like to do which turned to business). Before I opened my shop, I knew nothing about Etsy but after some research through internet "googling" that is where I came across Etsy
How long did I stay before my first sale?---- One thing that made me super happy is to see people viewing and favorite my items. 30 days after my shop was live (on Nov 30th, 2012) is when I received first conversation from a buyer who wanted to purchase some of my pillow covers " I wanted to collapse with joy" though buyer did not purchase but that made me move on and encouraged me. In Dec, 2012 I temporary closed my shop after had one life tragedy and re-opened the shop in April, 2013. I did stay for so long till I sold my first items in June, 2013
What is The First item I sold?----- My first sale was on pillow covers which I named them as 2 Stunning Inspiration African Pillow Covers
What is my recent sale? ----- Through out the year I have been adding different items and now I have some African print women clothes. So the picture below is the recent sale from my shop Dashiki Dress - African Print Dress
What Next? ----- I would say I am new to this world of handmade business that's why I still need to study more on this but ABOVE ALL I THANK ALMIGHTY GOD for everything and will go as we go.
Happy Wednesday everyone and thank you for stopping by.
Cheers
