I am in the process of setting up a website with this software. it is fairly easy and does not cost very much under £100 I have spent. Can I ask a question, what determines your ranking on sewing blogs? Is it the number of visitors as my hit counter has rocketed lately but I am ranked 89ish?

I’ve seen it done a lot, especially while browsing etsy. Etsy can be a little store, where it can be just a ‘display’ or small ‘gift shop’ featuring good examples of your work. The actual Website store will be the main focus. Then on both of the sites, have the link to the other. Advertise your website’s link all over your profile on etsy.

Etsy allows you to network and have your products easily be searched. However, your competition is pretty much ‘next door’.

While the initial exposure you get from the etsy marketplace will be useful I think in the long run you’re much better off branding yourself as part of the suzical empire :-)

Congrats on getting the shop up and running and getting your first order!
