This workshop is perfect for designer-makers and artists, if you’re starting out on the journey to selling your creations. Or maybe you’re already on Etsy, but wondering if you set your shop up for success. This beginner-friendly session is tailored so that even if you’re not tech-savvy, you’ll leave feeling confident!
Etsy has a long-established reputation as THE place to buy artisan crafted goods, and it’s 100% possible to compete in that space; so why wait?
What will I learn?
We’ll cover…
- Setting up your shop foundations & finding your way around the system
- How to increase your chances of making sales (before you’ve even made a listing!)
- Understanding the Etsy algorithm & what to do so that more customers see your items
- Creating irresistible product listings – from smartphone photo tips to a must-have description
… and more tips & tricks along the way.
Etsy is the marketplace platform I recommend for beginners and those who haven’t time or knowhow to build their own site – speaking as a coach supporting makers ready to take their hobby to the next level. And as a fellow maker and 10y+ Etsy seller in my spare time.
This training is based on my own experiences, and those tried-and-tested by all the creatives who’ve worked with me.
Who should attend?
Small business owners and solo-entrepreneurs, in product-based businesses will benefit from this workshop. Etsy is perfect for you if you create unique, physical products or creative digital products eg patterns, downloadable prints etc… anything that you want to get in front of more customers. This webinar is fully tailored – whether you’re a total beginner, or maybe if you’re already on Etsy but haven’t been getting the results you’d like.
