Etsy Tip of the day - Find Your Target Market
Find your target market
Pre SEO Etsy this was the number on tip on here - but lately people seem to focus on SEO (which is totally fab and useful) this isnt instead of SEO but a little different thing you can do
For example one target marked for me can be dog lovers (amongst other things of course)
For me this is a great one to pick because I AM my target market because I am also a dog lover
So I can hang out in places where other dog lovers go, make friends with other dog lovers and talk about dogs - and it is not forced it is not 'work' it is something I genuinely enjoy
And every now and again I can mention my fuzzies. Not spamming people all the time, not hanging round with them just so I can use them for free advertising
Basically if you make what you love then hopefully you have interests with the other people who would love what you make but cant do it themselves and this drives some extra traffic for you, this gives you people who might like to tweet and share your items to other people who might be in your target market
and you are hanging around with people you like anyways, reading forums that are of interest to you and following pinners and tweeters who interest you
Some people asked if I include links to my other tips (thank you, too kind) so here are the ones I could find

I love this one, from Christmas. Mia at the frozen Lilly Loch. Time to overuse 'magical' again

Etsy tip of the day - Love What You Do
Love what you do
If you just make or buy things because you think they will sell then this becomes a chore
If you are doing something you love then it can be fun for you
Ontop of that because it is something you are into then more chance you can hang around in forums and places where other people who are into the same things as you are - often your target market - and you are not just there to spam them - which people see tru very quickly - you have a real interest and a passion
I had a little thought today
No matter how difficult things can be for me trying to make a living by myself and not working for the 'man'
If I could go back in time to my 10 year old self and tell her that my 'job' would be training dogs, walking dogs and making little sculptures of animals that little 10 year old would be very very happy

I know I am so luck to live somewhere where we can walk almost everywhere, and even better we can have the dogs with us offlead.
