Easy to knit up, kids love 'em and they want to show support in colors. <br /><br />Hope you're feeling better.

The Etsy forums and blog are great places to research price points and doing well on the site. (There are "secrets" to tagging, etc. so your items come up in searches.) Also, if you do popular items (like knit hats, for example), your items might appear on page 15 of the search results and few buyers scroll through 15 pages of results. In any event, I *have* sold stuff on Etsy but I do believe it's one of those things where the more time you put into it with marketing, re-listing items, etc., the more you get out of it.

So a lot of people were jumping ship.<br /><br />You might want to check it out before making any decisions.<br /><br />Like I said, this may have all been resolved, but I can send you the article I read about it if you're interested.Minhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17314806455130852142noreply@blogger.com
