The Fastest way to 100 Etsy Sales (And further!)
Whether you're a woodcarver, a painter, knitter, whether you crochet or make handmade cards, Artists need to be able to sell their work. At the very least so you can make enough to make more art. Handmade art is special and selling i requires a different, more human approach than the myriad of approaches used by print on demand and AI crap art tactics. In this video i discuss my path from zero to 100 sales and how I went from 100 to 150+ sales on etsy in a day using the 7 tips i outline in this video.
If you find any kind of value in this video, like it and subscribe, please! That will encourage me to make more! If you want to help out in other ways, head over to my Etsy and buy a carving sticker for your water bottles, carving totes, or work space!

    Good job nice handle! 😃 Another way you could do it is to use a liner about the same width as the blade and just cut the shape of the tang in it and sandwich the liner and blade without having to chisel out the wood. Personally I use one piece of wood and drill a little slot in the end like how the original handle was fitted. It all does the same job in the end.

      My first Etsy sale was a tiny little "frightened Ghoul" I posted him to social media as if he was an orphan ghoul looking for a good home. I wrote a cute little paragraph about his likes and dislikes. He sold 30 minutes later. Go the extra mile is the only advice i can offer. That first sale was a $20 carving on sale for 30% off. I didn't make much money, the goal at that point was to make a sale. Then to keep making sales. 1 sale turns into 2. Turn two into 5, then work on getting to 10.

    I needed this! I just started and I love it but I suck. I watch videos and can’t figure out how carvers are pushing their lives easily deep into the wood and cutting so easily and smooth. After five minutes of carving my hands are exhausted and shaking and forearms on fire. I don’t get it. I’m using basswood as well. I’m getting frustrated and really needed this. Thank you.

    • @JohnnyTheLayton
      @JohnnyTheLayton 16 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @jefferyhall8811 I'm glad, because brother I was there. It's amazing how much of the hand strength comes with time. I work with my hands and have for years, but carving is using them in ways I hadn't before. Not only that, but the way I hold the blade has evolved, and changes as I feel the wood. I cut way deeper now and way smoother with ease than I was able to do in the beginning, but those movements of the blade are learned muscle memory that come from carving. LOTs of carving.
