Happy Anniversary!
Yay! The Silver Hook Etsy Shop is 4 years old! Read to the bottom for my anniversary offer.It is wonderful to think back at the first months I was on Etsy. I had yet to figure out my creative niche. My Etsy shop had a few toys, afghans, and baby clothes. That was before I found my love of designing adorable toys. It was months before I had my first sale. My photographs were awful.
I have come a long way. Here are some reasons I love Etsy
- It provided an online venue to showcase my art. Before my blog and before selling at craft markets, I was on Etsy
- It gave me a website to add to my business card - a must for any entrepreneur
- Through my Etsy shop I have been found and invited to craft shows, sci-fi conventions, and stores
- Etsy Labs provides invaluable knowledge on market trends, running a business, and selling tips.
- Etsy is my testing ground for new designs and ideas
- I have made friends and found much needed support through fellow Etsy shop owners.
The past 4 years have flown by. While I have lots of experience with Etsy, I continue to learn new things and improve The Silver Hook. That's what I love about being a small business owner...constantly learning new things.
