This series has been a long time coming! Seriously, I think I get more excited about things to do with her shop then she does. Let me turn my blog over to Christine so she can start sharing what she is so passionate aboutβ¦.
Hello all! Liz and I have been friends for the past 4 years or so. Before she wrote her first blog post, and before I stamped my first piece of jewelry. Wow, how time has flown and our love for making lovely things has grown.
I was ecstatic that Liz asked me to be a contributor on her blog, but to be honest I was a bit hesitant because by no means do I believe I am a professional at this Etsy business owning stuff. But I want to share with you 8 of the things I wish I would have known before I started my Etsy shop. I learned most of these tips and tricks by making mistakes, and a lot of them. When I first decided that I wanted to take the plunge into opening an Etsy shop , I was so incredibly excited that I started working at it right away.
Researching, ordering supplies, and even practicing. Your username can never be changed on Etsy. Not even if you decide to open a shop! Crazy, I know. So choose your name very carefully because it will stick with you forever.
I got lucky because my shop name was available as my username as well. Brand your shop. There is a plethora of designers on Etsy offering pre-made or even custom Etsy graphic kits.
