A site, is a site, is a site... Right? I disagree. My experience with Etsy started out a bit skeptical, but it has turned into a full blown fascination.
It was a really cool store in Boulder, Colorado, that first mentioned the site to me. At first, I thought the name was goobery and how in the heck could it be worth navigating to? But, with her promise of success and recommendation to get my work seen, I visited the site.
Time didn't seem to matter, so I took tons of it before I opened my account and started loading art stuffs on my selling page. Much to my surprise, I found that my items were being showcased in favorite lists, on Etsy's showcase pages, and they were being sold!
It would be great to have more time to dedicate to the art and getting it on Etsy, because I would enjoy a full time job of that sort.
In the beginning, I found the sparse number of items, on each page, to be a bummer; but when I realized that Etsy truly does care about their seller's and buyer's experience and how to maximize the impact of each item, my opinion quickly changed.
Many of my inspirations and art know-how on projects has come from their tutorials and newsletters.
Do you Etsy? If you liked Ebay, love art, enjoy a well-thought out platform, I hope you'll find that Etsy is a good one to bookmark.
Here is a shameless link to my Etsy page, but I really do hope you'll nav through the site.
