Etsy Holiday Boot Camp

Image
This year I decided that I was going to concentrate on my Etsy Shop to see if I could generate some pre-Christmas sales and joined the Etsy Success team and their Holiday Boot Camp .  This is week 1 and we were tasked with several things to complete: Read this weeks blog post A Flying Start Fill our your Holiday Budget Print out and apply your Holiday Boot Camp stickers to your calender Share your holiday goals Find your Holiday Boot Camp Buddy I have completed all the items on this list and created a few more for me to accomplish this week: Renew items and evaluate for relevancy.  This is the new search mod for finding things on Etsy and I am not so sure that I have gotten the gist of it and so I am spending some time tweeking to see if my work moves up on the Etsy pages.  I still seem to be burried in the back of the pack.
