I just finished two new guides full of Etsy tips. I actually kind of hate the word tips in this situation because tips make it sound like the Etsy information is minimal - and it’s anything but that. Everybody
is looking for extra ways to make money these days and I know many of you have turned to Etsy to sell your crafts. Unfortunately just hanging up a shingle on Etsy I like to make you many sales. I know this is true because every day how to improve shop sales. That why I wrote Etsy 501 - From Beginner to Successful Seller. Etsy 501 will help you if you’re just getting started on Etsy or have been selling for awhile with techniques that will improve your Etsy shop.
Some of the techniques I cover in the guide are:
- Set up your shop the right way
- Promote your shop for free
- Take pictures that get results
- Write descriptions that help put customers in a buying mood
- Choose the right price for profit
- The trick to jump-start your feedback
- Business card techniques every shop owner should use
- Put a free video of your crafts on the web even without a video camera
In writing this book I’ve drawn form my years of selling crafts and gathered the best Etsy techniques. Feedback from readers has been very positive.
I LOVE this book! It is just jam-packed with useful and relevant information, and you step the reader through the process with clarity. I was so impressed that you provided the relevant links to help the reader go further with the ideas you give - and you didn’t do what so many `marketers’ do - ask for more money to see the `rest’ of the information. I learned a tremendous amount from reading the book, and am certain the ideas in it will give my shop on Etsy a much better chance of success! Thanks so much for writing it!
