Are you already in business on Etsy? I would enjoy seeing any other's experience selling. I have bought things from Etsy, and very happy with my buys.

If you do consider selling, let me know and I can refer you for 40 free listings (each).

I design jewelry but have shifted focus to pussyhats in light of recent events.

I need to get onto actually doing this. I have a lot of things in the "vintage" department to list now. Later, I hope to get into a creative line of fabric art.

It was okay, but not great, At the time the key words and searches were really sorry, but they have improved since then. But, I still do better selling on Ebay, been selling there for over fifteen years and if I am willing to work it, I can do well I get spells where I get tired of the grind and lay off for a while, but always go back. Sold all kinds of things.

Create a FB page for your etsy store, and invite every single one of your FB friends to like it.

And share here, of course.

Long story short, a former friend posted racial slurs on my page and destroyed my professional reputation. So I stay away from it now.

However, I will post here. I was going to post a new pussyhat on Etsy last night, but it sold through DU. If pussyhats aren't your thing, check out my jewelry.
