Hi everyone, I have the appointment on August 7. The application was received by the France Consulate on August 14 and now it’s in process. I read a few posts recently and the approval was really quick (within a few days). However, it has been a while for my application.

My flight is on September 3 and I’m getting worried. Can anyone share their experience recently. I would be very grateful. 😭😭

Hi all, I recently just open my small shop on Etsy (about a month ago) and had 3 orders so far!!! 🥳

Here is my shop link: https://chubycatstudio.etsy.com

However, everything stops moving forward despite Instagram ads (drive a lot of traffics but no sale 😔). I’m grateful to make some sales already.

As a newbie to this playground, I would love to ask the community on:

1. How and what can I improve my shop to attract more sales?

2. What do you think about my art?

3. As new as I am, should I open Shopify?

A few additional details about me and my shop.

1. ⁠What inspired you to create this shop? - I love journaling and always want to incorporate cute expressive stickers in my journal. I couldn’t find anything I liked online or as high quality as I wanted, so I created these stickers. I used these stickers myself. Another inspiration is I always want to be my own boss, so hopefully this small sticker shop will be the first step for something bigger later on.

2. Why do you feel your products are worthy of being purchased? How do they stand out from your competitors? - I have been looking around on Etsy, Ali Express, Shein, and Temu for a while. I purchased many of similar stickers but they either don’t have the expression I want or the quality or the option of sticker (clear vs. opaque) that I want. My shop uses the best quality sticker paper and I provide flexibility to suit people different needs. All in all, I do believe in my products and that it’s worthy of being purchased as well as competitive.

Thank you so much in advance everyone!
