26 Google Views at 11:15am!

I think my record at 12 noon is 27.  But I am on my way out the door.

Google views have been lower than normal the past week or so.

But today they have jumped up for some reason.  I should finish in the 70's.

Off to work.

233 Etsy Search Views at 12 Noon! A New RECORD!

Wow.

I wonder what has happeneed???

My previous all-time fastest/earliest to reach 200 views from Etsy search was last Christmas when I did it about 12:35 or so.

This morning, views looked not very high at all at 8am.  I only had about 60 views from Etsy search.

Then I just checked right before noon and had 229!!

Here at 12 noon I have 233 views from Etsy search with 546 total views.  Zero sales though.

Something happened about 9-10am???


It is the same thing that happeend last night and on sept 16th when I had a BIG jump.

On the 16th I had only 225 views from Etsy search at about 6pm.  Then a BIG jump and I finished with 508..
I wonder how many I will end up with today??

Just a few days ago I had only 194 for the DAY.

Well, it is good for me.  Kinda.

Off to work.  Orders to pack & ship.

355 Views YEtserday; A Big Jump at the End of the Day (Again)

I Should Close My Etsy Shop

For a number of reasons.

I don't sell much.
My shop is doing worse than last year.
My shop and views are partly doing worse because of Etsy changes.
My views are worse becasue of Etsy changes.
I wont' sell all this stuff I have.
I won't sell all thse books.
My house is a mess.
I'd rather hav a normal house and life.
It's getting harder to fill orders.  Because of the large inventory and trouble finding items.
Broken items lately. Means lost money and time.
I have no money.
I spend all my profits on things to resell.  Which I don't sell.
I have just been accumulating things.
I still can't afford anything.  Not a car. A vacation. A girlfriend.  Or anything important.
And I work on my shop 7 days a week all year round. I don't get a day off.  There is always something to do.

BUT.....I have all this stuff. And it is a lot of time and money.
And alot of "success", "successes".  It has been a lot of work every single day for nearly 5 years.

I should close.

At least wait until after Christmas.

So I have choices to make.

Only 194 Views Yesterday!! And only 1,030 Total Views!!

Wow.

After having more than 600 on a weekday last week and the days over 400 and 300 to then drop below 200 is NOT GOOD.

AND I have 300+ more listing than the same time last year!!!  With less than 200 search views AND just
more than 1,000 TOTAL views!!!  NOT GOOD.

AND.....38 MORE direct Google views, 127 MORE Etsy App views yesterday, AND 116 MORE Etsy Search views...

WITH 46 FEWER TOTAL VIEWS!!

PEOPLE ARE CLICKING OUT OF MY SHOP!!!!  Because of ETsy adding similar items to MY LISTINGS on mobile devices!!!!

68 FEWER orders this year (Down 15%). And I don't know how many fewer sales.
Revenue is down 9%.  That is A LOT of orders. And significant revenue.

Oh well.

Work less on my shop. Take days off here at the end of the year before the holiday shopping season.

It was a disappointing year.

434 Views at 8:10pm!!!! On a WED!

I wonder what is happening????

Here at 8:10 I checked my stats and am very surprised to see I have 434 views from Etsy search!!

At noon it looked like I'd be in the 300's for the day, but something happened again and I am now in the 400's already?????

Good to see.  But only 1 small sale.

Oh well.

162 Views at 12 Noon! More than 560 Total Views!

I wonder what has happened for my search views to jump up so high lately???

Today i have 162 views from Etsy search here at 12 noon.  With 563 Total views.

This will be another 300 views from Etsy search day.

High views are here for the rest of the year????

132 Views from Etsy search at 8:52 am!!

Something has happened in the past 8 hours.

In the midnight hour Etsy search views were low.  With less than 10.  Even after 2 am I had only 14.

Now here before 9am I already have 132!

Glad to see it though.  See how the morning ends and how the day goes.

Off to work. I have many orders to pack.
