This blog is going to be a showplace for Bead Embroidery-mine and examples of some of the fine art bead embroidery that I find on Etsy. I have shared some of the things I have learned over the last year on how to navigate around Etsy. It can be a scary confusing place, but once you get to know it, it is a wonderful warm community of great friends.

Navigating around Etsy #1- THE NAVIGATION BAR
Once you get your shop, you will find this bar at the top of your page.
1. Search bar- To find items on Etsy by color or type, put the words in this box and click on SEARCH. For instance, if you put in Red, pages and pages of red items will come up. Also when you put red in, a drop down will appear allowing you to choose a red dress, red pillows etc. in order to narrow your search.
2. HOME - This takes you to your activity feed page. This is where you will find what you have favored, what your favorite shops are doing, and many items that made it to be favored by followers. (we will talk about them in a later lesson)
3. FAVORITES- This is where you will find items that you have favored. You can refer to this when doing treasuries. ( another subject for later)
4. YOUR SHOP - When you click on this you get the following. At the top of this is a place to click to go directly to your shop.
a. Dashboard- when you go here you will see the statistics for your shop. Views and Favorites are things you want to work on to increase the exposure of your shop. Browse this page to see where you are receiving your views and favorites from and what is being viewed and favored.
b. Items takes you to your listings page
c. Orders - I hope you have a lot of reason to visit this one. It shows your orders for items from your shop.
d. Stats is a repeat of a.
e. Bill - shows how much you owe Etsy
f. Promote- You may add a promotion link for a fee. It will increase your views in the search engine.
g. Shop Settings- This is self-explanatory.
h. Add a new item brings you to the page to add a new item. Fancy that!
5 YOU- Here is the drop down from my shop
a. View Profile takes you to your profile page to change as you wish
b. Conversations has a 3 beside it. That means I have 3 messages or convos waiting for me. That 3 will show by YOU when you have messages. You have to click on Conversations to get to them.
c. Purchases and Reviews- Shows you how much money you spent and to whom. It is also the place to leave reviews for the sellers. Be sure and do this. It helps the sellers.
d. Account settings - You probably already know this one since you now have an account.
e. Your teams- we will discuss teams later
f. sign out. self- explanatory. You may use this if you have more than one shop and want to move back and forth between them.
This covers what is at the top of your page. Next lesson I will cover what is in the sidelines of your shop.
Have a great day:>)
