Etsy is amazing for small businesses that sell digital products and crafts because it’s a platform designed for creativity and unique items. It’s super easy to manage once you’re set up, and there’s already a huge audience of people specifically looking for handmade goods, art, and digital downloads like printables.
Plus, Etsy handles a lot of the heavy lifting, like payment processing and traffic from search, so you can focus on creating and growing your brand. It’s the perfect spot to showcase your talent and connect with customers who appreciate one-of-a-kind products!
Here’s how I’ll help you set up your Etsy store:
Create an Etsy Account
I’ll start by signing you up on Etsy.com or logging into an existing account if you already have one.
Set Up Shop Preferences
I’ll select your shop’s language, country, and currency. Then, I’ll help you choose a unique and memorable shop name that fits your brand.
Add Products
I’ll list your first products by adding clear, high-quality photos, catchy titles, and detailed descriptions. I’ll also set prices, add any product variations, and figure out shipping options.
Set Up Payment Methods
I’ll connect your preferred payment method, like direct deposit or PayPal, so you can start receiving payments seamlessly.
Define Shop Policies
I’ll set up your shop’s policies, including processing times, return policies, and shipping details, to ensure everything is clear for your customers.
Optimise Your Shop
I’ll upload a shop logo and banner and craft an “About” section to highlight your story and brand identity.
Set Up Billing
I’ll help you establish your payment details to cover Etsy’s listing and transaction fees.
Launch the Shop
Once everything is ready, I’ll review it all and help you the “Open Your Shop” to officially launch it.
Promote Your Store
I’ll help you share your shop on social media, particularly Pinterest, create promotional strategies, and optimise your listings to attract more customers.
Monitor and Refine
After the launch, I’ll track the shop’s performance and suggest ways to improve and grow your business. By the time I’m done, your Etsy shop will be ready to welcome customers and showcase your amazing products! 😊
I’m all about helping small businesses get off the ground as we move away from large corporations and get back to grass-root operations.
Reach more people, grow your small business, and have customers coming back for more!
My latest stats from Etsy and the great thing about digital products, they are able to be purchased again and again once created.
How Etsy can help you
