Secrets of Etsy Success Class

Could your art or craft be a bestseller on Etsy? It’s easier than you think to crack the online sales market. Come to this hands-on workshop with creative entrepreneur Amber Coppings, sponsored by the Fiberarts Guild of Pittsburgh. Amber will show you how to get your Etsy shop up and running in no time.

Here’s the best part: no previous website experience necessary! The basic computer skills you already have are all you need. And don’t worry if you’re not a natural marketer; most creative people aren’t. Amber will share all the visual and verbal components you need to set up your shop – along with her own marketing tips and tricks to help you succeed.

You couldn’t ask for a better teacher.  Amber’s shop on Etsy.com, which she opened in 2007, now accounts for about 40% of her sales.  And those sales come from all over.  “Etsy.com itself does a lot or promoting,” Amber says, “so having your work on Etsy gives you the potential for a large worldwide audience that is online to shop.”

Ready, set, sell!

If you’ve always wanted to sell your work online, here’s your chance to get going. Bring a sample or photo of your work plus paper and pencil to jot down the great ideas you’ll discover — and come spend a fun morning
learning and brainstorming with fellow artists and crafters.

All participants will receive an Etsy workbook, written by Amber especially for this class. You’ll find it useful during the workshop and invaluable once you’re back in your studio.  You’ll go home with all the inspiration and resources you need to set up your Etsy shop and start selling.
