Share Your Success! Subscribe to the Etsy Success RSS Feed	February 2, 2010 In this newsletter I break down Etsian slippedstitchstudios' advice if you're stressing out about an Etsy shop dry spell... Q&A with slippedstitchstudios Q: If you could go back in time, what advice would you give yourself? A: I’d say, “Self, you don’t need to stress out when things slow down for a week or so! Be persistent. When you go days or even a week without a consistent sale, persevere. Make inventory, find a craft show to attend, visit the Forums for a tweak that might give your shop back an edge you feel you have lost." Read on for more from this full-time Etsy seller. Make Inventory Create and organize! Here are a few posts that can inspire you to work on something new (or reinvent your old stand-bys): Finding Your Niche With DiffractionFiber Pikaland's 9 Tips to Be More Creative How-Tuesday Tutorials Broaden Your Target Audience With Tiered Product Lines Find a Craft Show There are three resources on Etsy to help you find a local craft show. The first can be found on the blog: Get Connected in Your Area: IndieCraftShows.com. Next, I'd have a peek at the Teams & Events section of the Etsy Forums for location based updates from fellow Etsians. Finally, head on over to your local Etsy Team's profile page to see what they're up to! Chances are they have up-to-date event and local meeting information.
