Is Busyness Your Mistress?
I read a great artcile about how habits and busyness can be a two-edged sword. How it can control your life if you let it. It made me really think about what I do and what I miss and I am going to rethink my priorities seriously. To read this great article go here:

Etsy Saver and Favoritizer
If you haven't heard about these apps then you will love them. First is Etsy Saver. If you have a coupon code for your shoppe, you enter it at this site and it will show everyone what you are offering up in your shoppe with a coupon. Favoritizer is another one that is great to organize all your favorites.
EtsySaver-
EtsySaver-
What's the basic idea of the application?
EtsySaver does two things: first, it's a site where Etsy customers can find coupon codes for their favorite Etsy shops. Second, it's a great way for Etsy shop owners to promote and market their sales. What's that saying about killing two birds with one stone? Well, EtsySaver does just that (except without the hurting birds part).
How do you use it?
When you visit the site initially, you have the option to create an account using your Facebook login. No need to create a separate user account here — we all have enough of those. Once you've created an account, you can submit your own coupon code to the site.
Read more about it here:
Favoritizer
What's the basic idea of the app?
Favoritizer makes it easy to organize your favorite items and favorite shops into any number of custom lists. You can name your lists anything you like and create as many lists as you wish. You can also share your lists with friends and family. This works great for creating a gift registry or to create Treasury list ideas and share them on Twitter and Facebook. Of course, you can still keep your other Favoritizer lists private, if you wish.

10 Ways to make the Most out of an Etsy Sale
Personalized Hand Stamped Key Chain | by: riskybeads
riskybeads says:
Source:1. Send a freebie along with each order. Make sure it’s something that people would want. Perhaps a scaled down version of another product or a sustainable marketing item like a magnet, etc. A thank you card goes a long way as well!2. Invite customers to join your mailing list. (I’ve been using the PayPal Customer Service option, and I’ve added about 20 people since I started it. To do this, log into PayPal and go to: My Account/Profile/Selling Preferences/Custom Payment Pages/Option tab –> scroll down to see mailing list option.)3. Send a coupon for their next purchase. You can do this by getting cheap biz cards printed as coupons or just put a label or paper coupon in the package. I often use labels because it allows me to customize my marketing materials. Most of the coupons I get from other sellers offer 5-10% off. I offer 15% off an order of $50 or more. Remember, not everyone will use their coupon, so there’s no need to stress about what you offer. Send more than 1 coupon to encourage sharing and/or offer a referral discount. I offer my customers 15% off any item of their choice if they refer a new custom to me!4. Send a brochure with FANTASTIC pictures of other products you sell. Perhaps offer a discount or coupon as part of the brochure. Using a brochure or postcard works nicely because people can easily show your products to folks who aren’t online… co-workers in the lunch room, etc. You can keep it relative. If a person buys Lavender Body Butter from you, maybe send a brochure with pics/info on your other lavender products.5. Invite your customer to a future secret sale–not too far in the future, say 2-3 weeks max AND/OR unveil a secret product and offer it early to your existing custom base.

Clean Up your Etsy Tags
Bonjour Vintage Suitcases Gift Tags | by: GaGa4GiftTags
There are many was to get more buyers into your Etsy shop. A few good examples arerunning sales, properly placing keywords, getting featured in more treasuries, and asSavoyFaire an Etsy seller points out changing up your tags. Here some great tips for cleaning up and changing your Etsy item tags.
SavoyFaire says:
This Spring I wrote a Spring version and time to revisit: (tweaked a bit and added a lot!):
My views were very low so when that happens I know it’s a good time to stir the pot so to speak. I’ve done it before and it helped. Change is good. I now do this at least twice a year Spring and Fall or whenever I take things from my expired items. I do a much different group of tags if it hasn’t sold. I take matters into my own hands so at least if it doesn’t help I know I did all I could tag wise.I know you do need the 6 or 7 tags (maybe more or less) like jewelry, necklace, beaded, choker, white, pearl, etc. but now is a good time to look at the others identifying your items. Are urban chic bohemian gypsy belly dancing zombie gothic fortune tellers really needing my tournament hold em poker cards? Not likely. Ok so I don’t sell cards but I sometimes get carried away with a few mysteriously named tags when it does me no good. Here is where Google helps by showing you which tags get how many views! Go ahead and tag one or two items that way for fun and laughs (and to find out where they’re living) but keep it fresh too. Then watch and see what sells better. It’s your own marketing strategy trial and error. (After writing this in Spring I got shop hearts from belly dancers, gypsys and fortune tellers! YAY!Suggestions:
1. Make two “similar” listings (change up the tags a bit) and keep the name at least one word off as google doesn’t like duplicates) and see which sells first and sells again… Use different photos of the same item as well. I found there are more rag dolls holding tea parties than champagne drinking ballerinas even though there are both alive and well! So I keep both listings! But there weren’t many gypsy fortune tellers. (Except one darling one down in the bayou now reading my tea leaves). Different things attract different people. Caviar vs. Bigfoot. You never know!2. Take only so much heed to what has or hasn’t worked for others here. (When asked how long they tried something it’s usually so short term it didn’t give google a month or so to kick in so the experiment was wasted). But they don’t sell exactly what you do and how do you know when, where, how many, how often they did something? When they relisted at promptly 9:15am every day, they got nothing but perhaps your demographic was on then and you sold very well! If you have an idea, try it then share! If we don’t recreate by exactly the same conditions at the same exact time then it’s not apples to apples. September isn’t October so it’ll never be the same!3. Think outside the box. Have a crazy theory? Try it! You could very well stumble onto something great!4. I used to keep a list of tags (now I remember) and the date I launched the changes actually so it’s easier to change instead of looking at each listing as well as to see how it’s affected my sales during that period. (I know seasons changed and the economy but it’s still worth it to me)You won’t get that on google or wherever. It’s going levels deeper than what you can learn anywhere but your own tracking devices.5. At a dead end for different or new tags?
www.tools4etsy.com is a great source as you compare one vs. another and below the results there is a Tag Summary Cloud and Materials Summary Cloud with tons of suggestions! Ones in bold are main ones being used (the bigger the tag is the more it’s used on etsy). Very helpful to make sure you’re on the right track. Be sure to pick one of the small unhighlighted ideas too as those searches won’t be as competitive and your item could show at the top!
To read even more tips about cleaning up your tags, head over to the Etsy forum.
