Always thought you'd start a shop on Etsy, but have never had the time to get it all set up? Have the idea, the products, and even a few images ready to go? Well, let's do it!
This class is a series of four sessions that will take you from building your online shop on Etsy to completing your first sale. We will cover the entire "back end" of the Etsy system, including shop listings, payment methods, shipping, customer service and communication, and getting the word out about your new shop.
Learn all of the "ins and outs" of your Etsy shop, plus lots of extra tips from an experienced Etsy seller, business owner and Certified Etsy Educator!
A general familiarity with Etsy.com, and a desire to sell your art or product there is helpful for this class. You can learn a great overview of Etsy through our Etsy 101 class. Participants should be artisans, designers or vintage/supply sellers ready to set up their shop. If you have your idea or concept and are ready to make it happen, this course is for you. Sellers who already have a shop but feel like they need to learn the "Etsy system" are also welcome!
