How long does it usually take to get the first sale on Etsy for a new shop?
Anonymous • in 3 hours • No answers yet
I recently opened a new Etsy shop and I’m selling a couple of handmade items. I listed my first product and a friend purchased it, but since then I haven’t gotten any views or orders, even after adding a second listing.
For sellers who started from zero, how long did it take before you got your first real sale, and what are the most effective early steps to get initial traction?
