What a Difference a Frame Makes

'm sticking to my goal of waking up an hour early to work on www.gumballgrenade.com.  My next task is editing all of my listing to include a better photo of what my art prints would look like when framed. So take a peek at the before and after versions:

I think it's important for your buyers to be able to connect with how your item would look and feel in their space.  So onward with these edits.  Happy editing to you!

Marketing Plan is Paying off Traffic is Increasing in Etsy.

The battle to get my www.GumballGrenade.com Etsy shop views up continues. I'm tracking my stats from last week compared to this week.  I love that Etsy.com has a seller feature that allows you to track your statistics.  It's allowed me to tap in an quantify my growth! I've pulled the shop view statistics from the last seven days and compared them to the seven days prior.  In the last seven days since I began editing my shop listing titles to be more specific with terms like "Pirate Art Print" or "Polar Bear Art Print" and then adjusting the item description to also describe the item in specific terms (Pirate Art Print), and to also include links in the description to my "print sets" shop section, as well as links to my blog and facebook page.  The results are promising. My shop views for the last seven days. That turned out to be 391 views.  The week prior to starting my search engine optimization edits the views were 323.  That's some growth. So far about two thirds of my listings are edited and they should be finished this morning before the day job begins.  I should also say that I've been blogging daily and here and posting a link to my blog on my facebook page.  So onward and upward.  I'll keep you all updated.

Editing of Etsy Listings Continues...Ugh! It's an SEO mystery I intend to crack!

So up an hour early before work and it took an hour and some serious coffee to edit 33 of 99 of my Etsy listing at www.gumballgrenade.com to include the words "Art Print" in the first 60 characters of the listing title and the description of the listing.  SEO seems so mysterious.  Whew! So I guess in two more days the entire shop should be done!

Delayed Resolution: Growing my Etsy Sales in 30 days

Today's task, as the kiddos and husband are all snuggled up in bed, on the agenda today is to try and revamp all of my listings at www.etsy.com/shop/GumballGrenade to include the words "Art Print" within the first 60 characters of the title and the description. With 99 listings this will be quite an editing project.  I'm also going into each listing and including "link backs" both to my shop, my shop sections where you can purchase my children's art print sets, to my Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/pages/Gumball-Grenade-Illustrations/13393631414 and to my blog here.  Off we go! Putting my actions towards my intentions.
