Etsy for Beginners will guide you through everything you need to know to start, run, and grow a successful shop on Etsy. The first volume in our best-selling The Ultimate Guide to Selling on Etsy series is a user-friendly, down-to-earth guide written by REAL top-1% Etsy sellers.
We’ll take you step by step through the fundamentals of creating, setting up, optimizing, and operating a successful Etsy shop. Whether you’re brand new to Etsy or already have an Etsy shop (but aren’t sure laid the proper groundwork), this book is for you.
You won’t find any “secrets” or complicated strategies in this book. Just replicable strategies that we KNOW work because we used them ourselves to turn a brand-new shop with a single listing in 2013 into a top-1% ranking shop with 26k+ sales and a five-star rating. We'll share the EXACT same strategies we used to start and grow our Etsy shop. So skip the guesswork, the “secrets,” and the snake oil. Whether you’re just starting out or have been putting a lot of work into your Etsy shop without much success, don’t give up. Instead, get this book. Because our success on Etsy wasn’t an accident, or “good luck.” It was the result of meticulous testing, research, and replicable strategies.
Etsy is an incredible platform. And if you know what works, you can be successful. We know because we did it. Our Etsy shop started with a single listing in 2013. We're proud to say that it ranks in the top 1% and brings in 6 figures.
If you’re like us, you’re probably wondering if you have what it takes to be successful on Etsy. If your product is good enough. And even if you’ve seen some success, you may still think of your Etsy shop as your “little hobby.” And we want you to knock that off right now. We’ve found that the people who run Etsy shops are some of the most creative, tenacious people we know. And we have no doubt that you are one of them. You can do this. You DO have what it takes.
And that’s why we wrote this book. Because we've figured out what actually works, and we love helping other women (and the occasional awesome dude) take their fledgling Etsy shop, and make it into something that gives back to them what they're putting into it.
About Us: Noelle is a boy mom to Luke and Max, and a cat mom to Michelle. When she's willing to wear pants (which is less often than she aspires to wear them), she can be found in mom jeans. Her husband Nate is the best person she knows. The two things she loves most (in addition to Etsy and the aforementioned children and husband) are murder and horses. (Separately, never together.)
Jeanne is also a mom—to Kaylee, Eileen, and Tober. (Yes, Tober. The short story is that she let Kaylee name her baby brother when she was five. She swears she would have stepped in if Kaylee had added too many Xs or Zs, but luckily, she hadn’t learned those letters yet). Her husband Bryan is, like Noelle’s Nate, pretty dang awesome and supportive. Especially when she decided to veer off a more standard career in technical editing and jumped headfirst into the world of Etsy selling.
The book offered practical advice on how to start an Etsy shop as a beginner and very useful tips. It is very easy to understand and follow, recommends to anyone starting as a new Etsy seller.
