It’s for sure, that the majority of moms still have (and hold dear) the penne and rigatoni necklaces that we’ve made them for Mother’s Day years ago. Now that we’re older and our overall crafting skills have gradually improved, why not make her a more grown-up gift with an equally handmade touch? This DIY rope-coil vessel can be calibrated in size in such a way, that it will fit around any vase of your choice. Simply finish the look with a colorful bouquet, and you’re all set to celebrate.

But how did the Etsy company manage to take control of such a versatile, niched market, full of creative types out and about? Well, the matter of the fact is that Etsy’s main advantage over their competitors was its simplicity, lower-than-average fees and the advanced product showcasing functionality it’s been loved for ever since. So, in case by now you’re wondering why you still miss out on this opportunity and not make sales, then here we go!

So what do you need in order to get started? Well, we’re gonna guide you right away!

While the Etsy requires not a lot of effort in order to get started with it (leaving out the fact that you the requirement of being a handmade artist who actually manufactures stuff is a must), still there are some essential steps that need to be taken. The first on the list is the requirement to have the most appealing photos of the items you’re up to selling there.While the Etsy requires not a lot of effort in order to get started with it (leaving out the fact that you the requirement of being a handmade artist who actually manufactures stuff is a must), still there are some essential steps that need to be taken.

The first on the list is the requirement to have the most appealing photos of the items you’re up to selling there. Because let’s face it, when you’re a customer who’s browsing the “handmade wallets” category on Etsy, the first thing besides the title (and obviously the only one, as it is an item’s preview snapshot), is the visual representation of it – hence the image of an item. So making sure that your item actually looks good is basically one of the tipping selling points. Then on, paying attention to your words choice, when you’re putting up a description of the item is just as important, if not more. This is all due to a simple matter of fact, that the item’s description is the very first thing your eyes get fixed on when you hit the single item’s page. Meaning, carefully avoiding gaffs and consulting a professional marketing pro will probably be a good idea! So good luck with your handmade art and your shot on selling it!
