How I did it: I've had my eye on opening an Etsy shop for awhile, but recently I really set my mind to opening up shop. I designed and made my handmade items, made my banner, wrote my descriptions, photographed my products, etc. and yesterday I officially opened up shop!
The actual listing of items on Etsy was wonderfully easy- it was great! :) They have all sorts of tools and things to help you out. My shop is called 'With a Flourish' - withaflourish.etsy.com.
The Storque, Etsy's blog is FULL of information on how to start up your shop- be sure to check it out if you have any questions about the whole process!
Resources: GIMP is a wonderful free photo editing program- perfect for creating your shop banner!
The Storque is Etsy's blog, and full of information for prospective Etsy sellers, or buyers!
Etsy.com - just browsing around can give you a great feel for what to do and plenty of inspiration.
I’ve been thinking of doing that for my photography. You make it sound easy.
fourthmonth is living the amazement- with a flourish!
Thanks! Well, it’s not exactly easy … it takes a lot of time to get everything ready before you list anything on the site! But it is a lot of fun!! :)
