It's December and most of us are busy packing and shipping orders, attending holiday shows, and going to holiday parties. So for the month of December, we're scaling back and Etsy Success will be sent only on Thursdays. We're taking this time to work on a master plan for 2012 and we need your input. If you have a minute, share your thoughts by taking the Etsy Success Survey.
 
We'll still have lots of other ways to keep learning this month: pop by the Online Labs for live and recorded workshops, browse the Seller Handbook, and check out the new @EtsyHelp Twitter account!

"Creatively, I do my best work when I don’t put pressure on myself. I’d say the majority of the illustrations I create never make it into the shop, but it’s the practice of constantly drawing that keeps me feeling fresh!" — Gingiber
"Respond to people quickly in the beginning, and especially as you get busier, make it a policy that you will return convos at a certain time." — WestVintageTradingCo

"Build a community around yourself of like-minded artisans and designers. Building relationships in person and online leads to brainstorming sessions, collaborations, mentions on blogs and name-drops, which help establish your brand." — failjewelry
 
"I no longer see ruts as a bad thing. Instead, I use them as a sign that I need to take a moment to stop, breathe and reevaluate." — DolorisPetunia

"We hear some folks question the successfulness of product giveaways, but we’ve done pretty well with them, so far. Even if we don’t see a tremendous amount of sales generated from a giveaway, we have spent enough time on the blog to know that we’re happy to have that audience’s attention for a time." — Son of a Sailor
