Blogging for Etsyians

So you own a little handmade shop on Etsy and make beautifully unique items for the world. Your pictures are well-taken-- accurately and charmingly representing your items. Your descriptions are helpful and disclose everything a shopper needs to know. Your tags are well-chosen and on-point. (And I am not at all saying that I am a shining example of this, especially when it comes to choosing the perfect tags. We must all strive for something :) Now you just need to be found by people who will enjoy and appreciate your hard work! Although everyone has their favorite methods, some of us like to blog.

Now THIS is a good example. Chewbacca mouse? Come on, I think I'm going to have a heart attack from the cuteness.

I recently received an e-mail from a fellow Etsyian, asking for advice about how to start a blog for her Etsy shop. She found me through the "Sellers Assisting Sellers" Team (a.k.a. Team SASsy, of which I am a mentor :) and asked me several good questions, which I thought would be helpful to share with anyone else interested in starting a blog for their handmade shops. Btw, Team SASsy is a great pool of resources for anyone with any questions even remotely related to Etsy.

Etsy Taste Test

Etsy has a new feature in which you take a test and they determine what kind of taste you have by listing a bunch of items that should appeal to your taste. These are a few of my favorites from the suggested items matching my taste.

Now THIS is a bed. Hey you two, get out of my bed.

Though the item is for the exit sign, I love the whole set up.

I wonder if this chair smells like coffee when I sit in it. That would be nice.
