When I first listed a thing or two on Etsy, it told me to try and get 10 things listed to improve my standings in search. Have you noticed an improvement in sales/views once you've reached more than 10 listings?

Congrats! It's a great feeling selling something you created yourself, isn't it?

When I first listed a thing or two on Etsy, it told me to try and get 10 things listed to improve my standings in search. Have you noticed an improvement in sales/views once you've reached more than 10 listings? I never got that notice, maybe because I listed about a dozen things I had just laying around. I really just like to do the things I have on there and figured it's cheap enough for me to list them there. A certain member of my family used to tell me I really had no talent, which sent my self-esteem down to the abyss. So when these things sold it was really a boost to my ego! lol The painting below was actually the turning point for me. I figured If it was good enough for a judge, it was good enough to put on Etsy. That's when I started to list thing there and said "Phooey on you" to the person who said that to me.  |

That's so awesome Sunset, I wish I had some sort of marketable talent to sell something other than smelly vintage clothes on there.

Sunset you absolutely do have talent that a lot of us wish we had! More often that not, the people who try to put down others are jealous or want to keep them down so they aren't reminded on why they didn't succeed. Your stuff is beautiful, and coming from a male, that should count a lot  |

That is beautiful, Sunset! I can't imagine being able to paint in that much detail. You definitely have talent!

You should make some with multicolored paw prints on them…..
And shame on that selfish, unhappy person for saying you have no talent! You have lots of talent!

Your painting is lovely! Never in my wildest dreams could I even paint just one of those leaves. You're very talented.

Your work is beautiful! Congrats!
I agree some paw print items would go over very well. You would sell out immediately from people here!

Sunset, do you take special orders for your tile whiteboards?

Post by sunsetpainter on Feb 19, 2015 21:57:47 GMT
val, I have done some special orders on the "Dogs leave pawprints on your heart" variety, such as specific breeds, i.e. "Poodles leave pawprints on your heart" with the pawprint in the top corner. I'm only able to do the hanging boards at the moment until I can get some stands made probably later this spring. I'm open to suggestions, but I'll be honest if I don't think I can do it properly. What did you have in mind? ETA: I had a lady at DH's dog club order 25 different breed varieties from me for Christmas. I really had to hustle to make them though, because she only gave me about a week-and-a-half to get them done.  But I did and she really liked them. |

OOOOoooo. You should do one with dragonflies! I know lots of folks who collect dragonfly themed stuff and it's hard to find.

I see a lot of Etsy listings where the seller encourages people to contact them with custom orders, if that's what you're asking about. There's nothing against that in the Etsy TOS.
