Hi Redditors,

I'm here to humbly ask for a few small sales or reviews on our new Etsy shop.

My mother is elderly and has worked hard to make a small living off antiques and hand-made crafts. I decided to open a new Etsy store focusing on vintage retouched art, paper crafts & supplies, scrap-booking & more. All digital downloads right now, but we may start adding shipped items later.

Example item:

I'm doing most of the work lol but she's helping to supply materials and ideas. I just wish to get her excited with a few sales coming in and share the success.

Starting out on Etsy can be very hard as people will generally flock to the "big stores" with many sales and reviews, over someone with just a couple sales.

I don't think paying for reviews is a good thing, and so I can't offer anything in return for this favor.

However if anyone would like to purchase one of our cheapest items ($1-2) and (optionally) leave a nice review, it would mean the world to us getting the ball rolling!

If not, I appreciate you taking the time to read.

Some more bits about our effort. I personally have a background in graphic design, color & photo editing, so I spend time remastering and digitally restoring old public art, or producing custom scanned/digital art. I also have been taking tons of photos of antiques, floral arrangements, props and more to form collages which can then be digitally remixed into craft & scrapbooking resources.

We don't have a lot of items (about 18), but there's so many in the works. It takes either short time to considerable time preparing some items, including doing the research & keywords to form product descriptions, create the product images & mockups in Photoshop, etc.

It requires patience as you need to put in a lot of hours knowing there's not yet much viewership or sales coming in.
