History of the NNNTeam

The New and Not So New to Etsy Team, formerly known as the New to Etsy team, was created on April 19, 2011 by Isabel, TheButterflyFlew, to help newbies like herself navigate the world of Etsy. It wasn't long after forming the team that Isabel sought Starla from StarflyCreations to be a Leader. Together, the two worked to build and educate the team as they too learned.

Soon the team grew to be close to 300 and Isabel and Starla found the demands to be too great for the time that they could offer. Isabel had been wanting to decrease her team involvement as other things in life needed her attention more and the demands of the team could not function well with one leader, so they sought to find another leader. They found Ashley from FringeAndFlourish. Ashley was eager to help and stepped up to the role of Leader. It wasn't long before Ashley was running the show as Captain.

Together, Ashley and Starla discussed the current direction of the team. The original NTE team structure was designed to have members "graduate" as they became adept at navigating Etsy, and with the graduates went a world of knowledge. The team leadership brainstormed solutions to make the team more effective and beneficial to not only newbies but to veteran sellers as well. The new revamped New and Not So New team charter was launched October 14, 2011 and with it a new direction.
