Would any of you guys be interested in custom engraved wood (typically a coaster or flat piece with some sort of writing/design) or custom metal engraving (dog tags, some jewelry or anything metal really) just asking to get some feedback to see if people are interested in that kind of thing.

I got 2 sales today on my Etsy shop and finally found a bit of a “method” right before Mother’s Day. First shop will be closing soon and have definitely learned a lot from this first go at it. I started about 2 months ago and have been working pretty much everyday after work. The most important things I learned: using Etsy, google and Pinterest ads will bring tons of traffic to your site. However TikTok shop and TikTok promotion videos seemed to get me more actual sales. I didn’t do much on TikTok live but plan to use it more in the future because it was successful for the small time I did. The final thing I realized is this is very easy. Honestly if you follow the guides and put the time in you will succeed. I work a manual labor job for 40 hours a week and worked at least one day of overtime on the weekend while doing this. At this point I just need to refine my process and figure out how to be more efficient and market better.

What is going on this weekend? Also, I'm thinking about redoing a competition were the winner will be able to come and spend a day with me. I'll be holding it inside of this community, just finishing some details for it

I have now 5000 followers on TikTok and my Etsy store (MothersDayMart) has had thousands of views, impressions and even made a decent return on investment with it being my first ever shop. I ran Etsy, google and Pinterest ads for a couple weeks. (Not all at the same time but some) spent roughly 250$. Pinterest ads got me tons of views on there and seemed to bring in some of the most traffic for me. At this point I’m really trying to get better at designing and marketing as my store was specifically for Mother’s Day and will be having to make a new one soon, possibly a 4th of July shop or I might just commit and focus on a brand/company to create. Lmk anyone’s thoughts and if they have any advice on closing out on more products and not just getting the impressions and views. I am going to log all my progress of my new store here and would love any comments with ideas for my 4th of July store and how I should market on TikTok.

Does anyone know why my Pinterest adds keep getting disapproved?
