Make It Mondays - Etsy School Week 1

Today I'm starting a new program to help me whip my Etsy shop into shape: Etsy School - February.

 

The Etsy UK Blog has a nice explanation in their post,

Introducing the Etsy School Program.

 

Basically, I'll be doing an intensive 4 week shop overhaul. Think of it as Spring Cleaning...

 

 

Week #1 Focus: Introductions and Shop Critiques

 

Hi, my name is Elizabeth & I'm in Florida

I prefer to go by: Mad

My Etsy Shop(s): MadScientistsDesigns & MadScientistsDestash

I make: Jewelry and sell supplies

I love: beauty and nature

When I am creating, I love to listen to: the TV

I could live on this food for the rest of my life: cheese

A funny fact that you light not know about me: I'm shy

Waffles or pancakes? pancakes with bananas

 

I will be critiquing other shops and doing a self-critique of my shop. There are already some things that I plan to do to get started:

1. I am deactivating listings for all of my older jewelry and going over the pieces. I may make changes to them, take them apart and make a new piece, or simply re-take pictures with my newer camera.
2. I am re-vamping my banner (again). Yes, I know that the one I have is relatively new, but I think that I need to change it...
3. I am re-writing my About Page on MadScientistsDesigns

 

Whew! That's a lot for Week #1! Want to join me?

Wish me luck and, as always, suggestions

and encouragement are welcome.
