5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Resource! Nov 23 2011
By Brenda Wright - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
As I was browsing through Amazon I found this book. I bought my copy last week and have pretty much been glued to it since! The lessons are really easy to follow and more importantly, put into practice!

I set up an Etsy shop a couple of years ago. After reading the chapter on shop names, I decided to make a total change. And the chapter on Photography really gave me some great pointers. I didn't realize just how important those pictures are. By the time I finished I had a totally redesigned shop.

The best part for me (and the reason why I bought the book to begin with) was the tips about promotion. It's always the part I hated the most, but this makes it so easy. I wish I knew two years ago when I started my shop what I know now. In fact, I'm going to try some of these tips with some of my other projects. This book is a great tool for anyone who wants to sell anything online.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Wealth of Information Nov 28 2011
By Kathy W. - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This book is a must for artists and crafters who want to market their work on the web. Not only did it address how to use Etsy, but it also gave lengthy instructions to other sites and methods such as Facebook and blogging. Photography and movie making for YouTube is also covered. This book will be all I need to begin the online marketing end of my business.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun and Practical Dec 2 2011
By MikeM - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This book was given to me as a gift and with a suggestion I could sell my wife's custom made greeting cards on Etsy. I've been thinking of opening an Etsy Shop for some time now, but felt slightly overwhelmed with the idea.

How To Sell Your Crafts Online makes the process of setting up an Etsy Shop nice and simple. The lessons are all short and easy to follow. Not short as in skipping vital info, but short as in not blabbering on about things you don't need to know. After you've read each chapter there's a number of action-steps which is a nice touch.

As well as setting up your Etsy shop, this book also shows you how to find your way through the online jungle. I now have a firm handle on how to use Facebook, Twitter and a variety of websites I'd never heard of before.

One of the best things about this guide is it never feels like too much work and each step is fun. The book is really well designed with bright and vivid illustrations and plenty of screen-shots so you know exactly what to do each step of the way.
So if you've been on the fence about selling your crafts online, or need to improve a slow online store then this guide is going to save you a lot of headaches.

Highly recommended!
