I bop on to the "hearts my shop" page every couple of days to see how my numbers are. If you have an Etsy shop and you don't do that - you're a liar. Because it's fun and addicting and it makes you feel good and you know it. Dry spells, like 3 days where the number stays the same, are depressing. You can see how many people look at each listing - so I know people are looking. But then they leave without hearting me. What the heck. So I take that as a hint that I need to step up my game. Game on haters.
Over the past week or so I've been checkin' the numbers a little more often knowing that I'm approaching the big 2.0.0. Lo and behold...or is it low and behold - hold on let me google it....ok I was right - it's "lo and behold" and it comes from "way back when" (that's a techincal date) and the "lo" is short for look...so it means "look and see!" We're all smarter now, you're welcome. Moving on...
Lo and behold yesterday I hit it! "jennputney" an Etsy member since September of 08 with no feedback made my day! I think I'll send her a message referencing this blog post to let her know. She didn't even have to do much and look at the impact! Thanks Jenn!
So, to recap. My first listing was posted on May 1, 2009 and a short 85 days later on July 24, 2009 - 200 people have recognized that they like what I do. What an awesome feeling!
Thanks everyone and here's my proof!
