Finding your Spark : Product Photography – Getting The Best Out of Your Photography
http://www.handmadespark.com/blog/finding-your-spark-product-photography-getting-the-best-out-of-your-photography/
This article in April was the final push for me to take the time to start re doing my photos -I’d known I needed to for along time -but for some reason this article was the motivator.

I could go on and on – i’ve found your blog and newsletters to be great inspiration and also incredibly helpful -new suggestions seem to arrive at the moment I am feeling most desperate or unable to work out what I should do next – you fill the voids in my knowledge – bit by bit I feel I’m coming to understand the quirks and mysteries of on line selling -thankyou from a beginner!

Thank you for the great opportunity!

Gee–you want us to only pick two of our favorite blog articles?? ;-)
I love your Etsy Seller stories–they give good hints on putting your shop in position to get more sales. Also Etsy Forum Rewind stories are extremely helpful. You usually get many answers on solving a particular problem from the Etsy Community.

Two favorites:

Hi!

Thank you for the chance to feature my shop! It’s so hard to pick just two, but I’d have to say that

http://www.handmadespark.com/blog/how-i-get-followers-on-my-blog/ and http://www.handmadespark.com/blog/etsy-forum-rewind-2000-etsy-sales-in-16-months/

http://www.handmadespark.com/blog/my-etsys-worth/ My Etsy’s Worth
This article really spoke to me in many ways that I could relate. I was wondering if Etsy was really worth it (sales were slow) when I read this piece. It really changed my attitude! I have learned so much and I owe it all to the Etsy Experience. I felt recharged and actually started not only enjoying the creative process, but also the challenge of promoting my shop.

http://www.handmadespark.com/blog/biggest-put-offs-for-etsy-shoppers-part-1/ The Biggest Put Offs For Customers
This article was a great approach to customer service and awareness. We usually look at what makes a customer happy, not what makes them unhappy. I love how candid the customers were. (You have to be able to handle the truth!) Very helpful and a real eye opener!

My two favorite articles are:

http://www.handmadespark.com/blog/seo-help-me-part-three-google-anayltics/ – because I think I finally understand GA…well, mostly…

http://www.handmadespark.com/blog/finding-your-spark-product-photography-photo-composition/

I’m yet to implement many of the things I’ve learned in this and many of the other articles on photography…but I’m definitely learning…!

My shop is: DormouseDesigns.etsy.com

Thanks,

Anja

Thank you for the chance to have my shop featured!

My favorites were
http://www.handmadespark.com/blog/etsy-seller-reaches-600-sales-and-tells-all/
http://www.handmadespark.com/blog/my-etsys-worth/

I liked both because they remind me of the things that I like about Etsy, that I have learned from Etsy and they also remind me about the love I have for making things – all with some good-natured cynicism thrown in!
Plus, both blog articles were about jewelry artists like myself. Jewelry overwhelms Etsy and it is refreshing to hear from other jewelry artists – their thoughts and outlook.

Hi,
What a great opportunity, thanks. I have one article and an interview that you had with a jewelry artist, (I believe it was Peaches4You). I found the link for the interview in a tweet of yours and it couldn’t have come at a better time. I was on the verge of leaving my etsy shops to go dormant and possibly return to the corporate work force, (not happily). Then I listened to that interview and it renewed my vigor, it also showed me that spending many hours a day on the computer growing your business was essential, before listening to that interview I felt it was like wasting my time away playing video games or something. I felt guilty for being on-line and not in my studio and didn’t realize the importance of an on line presence. Unfortunately the link for the interview is no longer good. I’m going to look through your archives and see if there’s a link there because I”m not too sure that this will count as one of my articles.
Here is the link for one of my favorite articles. I suffer from the same fears and struggle with it still. Sometimes it’s nice to know you’re not the only one.
http://www.handmadespark.com/blog/stop-hiding-and-seek/
And finally here is a link to my etsy shop: TamaranDesigns
http://www.etsy.com/shop/tamaran

It is hard to select only two because so many of them have been of interest and definitely helpful to me. I will have to say that these two really made an impression:

(1) http://www.handmadespark.com/blog/what-is-in-a-title-etsy-item-titles-2/. After reading this article I went back and changed the titles on every single item in my Etsy shop. I sold two pendants the very next day. Coincidence? Maybe but I think the title was the key.

(2) http://www.handmadespark.com/blog/etsytacular-a-craftgawker-alternative-for-etsy-sellers/. I was not familiar with this site until I read the blog article and now it is one of my favorites.

Thanks Tim.
Sonnee (Eccentricity) McCabe

Thanks Tim for this awesome chance for an opportunity! ; )

Here are my top 2:
http://www.handmadespark.com/blog/apple-blossom-time/
This one hit a memory. I grew up in apple blossom country – northern VA. I marched in the Winchester Apple Blossom Parade during my HS years as a band member.

http://www.handmadespark.com/blog/etsy-forum-rewind-etsy-seller-triples-their-sales/

My etsy shop:
http://honeyfromthebee.etsy.com

I need all the help I can get on photographs so I really appreciated this
articlehttp://www.handmadespark.com/blog/finding-your-spark-product-photography-photo-composition/

This one I have saved and read it often to refresh what I need to do to get more sales.
http://www.handmadespark.com/blog/10-thing-that-help-me-get-1-sale-a-day/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+HandmadeSpark+%28Handmade+Spark%29

I would love to be considered for a little feature!

My most favourite article is the Do’s and Don’ts for Crafters:
http://www.handmadespark.com/blog/the-dos-and-donts-for-crafters/

I also have been considering starting a newsletter based on this article:
http://www.handmadespark.com/blog/tip-share-newsletters/

AND I will be most definitely be making a ring display based off of this new article:
http://www.handmadespark.com/blog/featured-blog-how-to-make-a-ring-display/

Handmade Spark is such a wealth of information! I often read from my Google Reader but it’s really nice to visit the site and cruise around (I should do this more).

Hi Spark!

The article on SEO and item titles really hit home with me, I sturggled to come up with something creative and then after reading your article, realized I need to keep it simple. That was a big relief.
http://www.handmadespark.com/blog/what-is-in-a-title-etsy-item-titles-2/
The other article I appreciated was the one on photographing your items. You only have a split second to catch the attention of a potential customer, the photo is what clinches the click through.
http://www.handmadespark.com/blog/finding-your-spark-product-photography-getting-the-best-out-of-your-photography/
Thank you for your commitment to US !

I enjoy reading Handmade Spark and benefit from all the tips and advice. I’m not very internet / technical savvy, so I appreciate your articles such as these to help with running our businesses and to increase sales:

http://www.handmadespark.com/blog/secret-etsy-tips-from-etsy-sellers/

I think the biggest reason I’ve been reading Handmade Spark is for the blogging and business information. I’ve really been loving all your blogger interviews. The interview with Kind Over Matter http://www.handmadespark.com/blog/blog-spark-kind-over-matter/

and Scoutiegirl http://www.handmadespark.com/blog/blog-spark-scoutie-girl/

are my faves. Although your Cuteable was great too!
http://www.handmadespark.com/blog/blog-spark-cuteable/

I appreciate meeting these bloggers through your series. I also appreciated the recent photo article about the shakes. It made me go get a tripod finally! http://www.handmadespark.com/blog/finding-your-spark-product-photography-got-the-shakes/

Thanks for sharing all this information with us!!!

I have to say that all of your articles are immensely helpful and must reads!

I really liked this article on branding your company. It has me thinking outside the box and how I can find my niche.

http://www.handmadespark.com/blog/who-are-you-anyway/

I am also devouring anything on seo and google analytics. I have just started optimizing my shop and see a real difference. This post really breaks down analytics in a very easy to understand way. Gotta love that!

http://www.handmadespark.com/blog/seo-help-me-part-three-google-anayltics/

We are all so busy with our businesses, families and everyday living. Thank you so much Tim for streamlining the path to success and sharing all of your great information!

It’s very hard to pick two favorites, but the new picture gallery on Cr8tivity was so fun I immediately went and submitted an entry: http://www.handmadespark.com/blog/etsytacular-a-craftgawker-alternative-for-etsy-sellers/

And the information on running an ad on Project Wonderful is the best information for me yet. I have gone back to it over and over:

As a new shop owner on Etsy and a new subscriber to the handmade spark blog my favorite articles are pretty recent ones:

1. http://www.handmadespark.com/blog/finding-your-spark-product-photography-got-the-shakes/

This article really hit home for me. I have some pretty extensive nerve damage in my arm and for the life of me couldn’t get my hand to stop shaking when taking my product photos leaving them very blurry. The advice in this article helped me tremendously. Without it I may not have a shop at all!

2. http://www.handmadespark.com/blog/etsy-business-spark-sleepy-moon-designs/

This article gave me the confidence I needed to really give this etsy thing a go! I have worked as a designer for a marketing firm for 3 years and the only work they give me is production stuff. No one there seems to really value me as an artist which is why I started my shop in the first place. I was very hesitant to list my first products because I was self-conscious of what people would think of my designs and illustrations. Thanks Sleepy Moon Designs for the boost of confidence!

ILDVED is a big fan of Handmade Spark! I find there’s a lot of useful information on this site. So many practical tips and also I love reading about other artists and their work.

The recent article on Google Analytics was awesome–helped me grasp the more technical issues of running a successful Etsy business:
http://www.handmadespark.com/blog/how-to-install-google-analytics-for-your-etsy-shop/

Organics, all natural, traditional, and upcycled/recycled materials go into blankets, cloth wipes, quilts, burp cloths, etc. I sew, crochet, and also hand embroider, and everything I make is a unique, one-of-a-kind piece!

Hi Tim,

Thanks for the opportunity. I love all the articles. I get excited when I receive my newsletter. I get my Handmade Spark in my email around 12:00am and it’s perfect timing. I am a night owl and this is the time I catch up on all my “business” stuff.

Here’s my shop http://www.etsy.com/shop/edwardandlilly

I have only recently been putting alot of emphasis on building up my Etsy business. I’ve been searching the internet for hours, trying to find just the right tips and ideas to help out with marketing my shop. There are millons of people pushing social (which I do, I think) networking and many other ways to build your business, but none seem to focus on what I needed to do for my Etsy shop. That is until I started reading more and more on Handmade Spark. The one place I could truly get great ideas and help and all for Free! Thank you for information given so freely! Here are a few of the article that I have and are going to put to use.

I also found another article somewhere about changing your shop title, to get farther up in the google search engines. Can’t seem to find it again. It was something I had never thought of doing. I’ve change mine as of yesterday and I can’t wait to see what happens. Thank you again! Your Fabulous!

I have found these articles very helpful. There was also one by JenJakiaba on photography that I cannot find at the moment.

Thanks for the helpful information.

I recently discovered this site, and have been happily working my way through the articles. Already, I have learned quite a bit – though it’s embarrassing to admit, I was aware of how important item titles are in your Etsy shop, but never gave much thought to how I labeled my pictures.

Two articles I found really helpful are:

http://www.handmadespark.com/blog/tips-to-pump-up…

So much great information. The photography article really stood out for me :)

I've only just found you so haven't really had much time to "look and learn" from your site here but my first impressions are very good.

Instead of saying which are my favourites, I'm going to tell you what I want to find – yes, I know that's not what you asked for but instead of just looking at a few of the comments above me and copying and pasting I'm going to actually think about this and tell you what I would find most useful.

Okay, my original comment was too long and cannot be posted so, in summary,:

photography and
a genuine, realistic critique – even if that means closing up shop!

Thanks for the opportunity to comment here.

Hi!
I`m new here. Have no clue how to make mini site….(Am I so stupid?)
Also place from where I am are mentioned wrongly. I wanted to contact Handmade Spark to correct it…. The same problem…. The help message seems to be disabled.

Please! Anyone know how to contact the Handmade Spark people?

The blog posts are so inspiring and educational. Two of my favorites are http://www.1000-sales-in 100-days/ and http://www.taking-care-of-your-little-treasures–…
Thank you so much for all you do for Etsy sellers.

I am sorry, this link was broken in the above post. Here it is corrected. http://www.1000-sales-in-100-days/

Gee, I haven't even joined yet but can't wait to go read some of these blogs — they all sound great!

It is difficult to choose only two articles as favs, I’ve been integrating so much of what I’m learning from Handmade Spark. Here are two upon which I most recently took action.

My traffic has doubled since I signed up for Spark!!! Love you guys!!!

I like your heart idea. It’s like leaving lovenotes in a briefcase or book or a special I love you note for your kids in their homework or lunchbox

I’ve just joined handmade spark this month. So far I’ve really enjoyed the articles. Especially one from today on downloading sold data from your shop: http://www.handmadespark.com/blog/tips-and-tricks-exporting-your-etsy-sold-items/

And this one on SEO: http://www.handmadespark.com/blog/seo-help-me-part-one/

I just joined Spark on Friday and have been making my way around the various articles and listings- it’s So hard to choose just two!
