humankind

This month and last month's revenue for /humankind! 

Now that I've been in business for 7~ months, I have more data on what drives revenue and what doesn't. Here's what I've learned:

they/them, candlemaker at 🕯️humankind🕯️, seemore.tv/humankind, hosting /samantha and /humankind

Seasons drive sales more than anything.  Summer is really really hard, people are not online as much and no real holidays for gifts.  Learned that from the last 3-4 years on Etsy.

I am a maker. I communicate through photos. Also do metal casting, 3d prints,
AI, robotics and mashups of all of these things.

It’s been so good on there.  I approached it differently than anyone I know.  I started it to put whatever I made in my studio that day for sale and never told anyone about the shop (not even friends). Whatever sold I would make more of and now it’s sort of an art supplies store not so much my art but Etsy buys ads

I also think you can reverse that summer downtime this year with onchain summer promotions and slice stores and Coinbase integration and marketing.   I have been reluctant to publish mine because I don’t know if I have the time to fulfill dozens or hundreds of orders and have to be careful about that.

Thanks for the advice, that’s what I’ve been hearing! Near the end of the year is when I’ll expect most of my sales to happen :) 

Would love to chat with you about your experience as a maker on Etsy!
