Today I am<\/span><!--more--><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> providing an updated version of that chart. It seems to show that the Etsy community is doing a pretty good job of ignoring the current recession, as the overall curve is still showing a substantial growth trend.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">That&#8217;s great news for all of us who make handmade goods, jewelry and polymer clay beads. In fact, one of the regular readers here at blog, just recently celebrated her 4000th sale at her Etsy Shop. Shannon LeVart is her name, but you will probably remember her better as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.etsy.com\/shop.php?user_id=58458\" class=\"external external_icon\" target=\"_blank\">MissFickleMedia<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Not only has Miss Fickle crossed the 4000 milestone for completed sales (btw &#8211; she celebrated by baking cupcakes with her kids &#8211; very fun)&#8230; she has also has succeeded in attracted over 5573 people to favorite her Etsy Shop. It&#8217;s not surprising that she has a 100% positive feedback rating. Way to go Shannon!!! Keep up the great work! You are an inspiration to us all!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Here&#8217;s some of the reasons why I think missficklemedia is doing so well on Etsy:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Her brand is memorable. It&#8217;s hard to forget a name like MissFickleMedia.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Her designs are simple, cool looking and very wearable.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Her workmanship is impeccable. She sands, buffs, polishes and often coats her pieces with resin.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Her prices are good. Not too low and not too high.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">She has a wide selection of items ranging from $2 to $300 with a good portion at about $10 &#8211; $15.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">She has tons of products listed. At the time of this post there were 230 items for sale.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">She provides good close up photographs of her pieces.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Her listing titles are cute and descriptive.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Her descriptions are clear, easy to understand and friendly.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Her shipping costs are very reasonable.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">She blogs regularly and promotes her Etsy store in her blog.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">She visits and comments on others blogs (like this one) and has a sweet friendly way about her.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Hopefully you can apply some of these success points to your situation.
