Eventually, I plan to open my own Etsy Shop. But I seem to be getting delayed by the Details and Perfection Traps.I tell my self that I need to take care of all the details, both big and small, before I can sell on Etsy. And that everything has to be perfect for opening day.
On the other hand, maybe it's in the promoting and selling that all the details get worked out. And that perfection is an ongoing work-in-progress.
As I deal with these issues, I like to visit Etsy's The Storque for inspiration and useful information. I particularly like the Etsy Seller Handbook. It includes a "handy index of all the useful How-To's about selling on Etsy."
There's also an excellent post on Shop Makeover: Welcome to Your Online Presence. Etsy says, "This is a Shop Makeover for the crafter or artist who has, as of yet, only delved into the real, "offline" world of selling their art, craft, or vintage wares." That's me.
How about you? Are you selling offline or online?
