Etsy School - Getting found

Week 3

SEO Optimization
Use Titles that are distinct-I have been putting a lot more into my titles such as exactly what it is and then classifying it. So I need to shorten up some of my titles.

Another section for this section of school was translate your shop into another language. I choose to translate my shop into the Spanish language since the only International sales I have had was to Peru. I'm using the google translator app to add translations. It's basically cut and paste. Kinda neat.

My partner and the gals on the class board critiqued my shop in week 1. Since then and now I have updated my about page, what I like to do for my shop, listed lots of items to help relevancy. I did note a drop from my position in google search after completely redoing the Heisey Listing. I'm sure it will come back stronger. I didn't realize the change would effect searching but I know it did. So for my own future reference, if an item is strong in google search, don't change it. If it ain't broke it don't need it.....Just saying'

So here is a picture that my partner has to work on. I hope for some new interesting title for it. He also needs to think up a keyword or two.

This is a board of collectible wooden buttons that I found at the auction house. They are displayed nicely and there is a nice variety to look at.

Thanks Roxie

EPSTEAM on Etsy is a community of people who help each other with sales promotion. All they ask for in return is that I show the same appreciation towards their store as they do for mine. It's a reciprocation of hearts! You get what you give, that's for sure. These ladies make it fun, team spirited, goal orientated. Anyways, here's my special shout out to Roxie from SoBeJeweled. Her vintage jewelry shop has a wonderful selection of jewelry from many designers. She always surprises me with new merchandise she has found. Most of all, she mentors a lot of people without expectation. Visit So BeJeweled to see her classic and modern jewelry finds!

Doris Chan Zodiac Sweater

I love this pattern. I think it's beautiful. Experimenting with different color, yarns, and hook sizes to see what I like best. I noticed on www.ravelry.com other crocheters have tempted to alter it for a larger size, but I'm trying to stick to the pattern so I can have one. My friend Trudy ;) bought the first one because it was too small for me. My boss wants one too. I'm using Red Heart I love this yarn before I move up to an alpaca or wool blend. The main reason behind using acrylic is availability. Anyways I have put the sweater
in my Etsy shop www.etsy.com

In order to make this sweater fit me, I had to go up to an I hook (chest 44). I love it!! I finally have one just like the one pictured. I wanted to use the same motifs as designed. I was worried it would come to my knees but the I hook worked wonderfully.
