Etsy

エッツィーに最初のショップを出店してから、一年ちょっと。エッツィーは日本でも、結構知られてるみたいですね。
最初の数ヶ月は、ショップを訪れてくれる人は、知り合い・友人のみで、売れるのは月に数点。なかなかビューも増えないし、どうしたものかと思っていたところ、夫の友人がソツイートの活用を勧めてくれて、それで売り上げが急に伸びました。すごいなあ、ソーシャルメディアの力！

エッツィーはとにかくショップの数が多く、とってもコンペティティブ。出しているだけでは売れないので、なかなか大変です。毎日たくさん売れる人は、いったいどうやっているんだろう？

It has been more than a year since I started my shop at Etsy. It seems it is well know even in Japan.
First a couple of months, my customers were only my friends (or friend's friends). I didn't get enough number of views and I was wondering what to do.

One day, my hubby's friend recommended me to use Twitter.
I tried to tweet about my shop or items in my shop a few times a day, my sales finally started going up.
I was simply amazed how social medium worked!

There are just so many shops at Etsy and it is REALY competitive. You can't sell not only having your store open. But there are many power sellers who sell so many items a day. I simply wonder how they are doing?
