I teach in person classes about Etsy all the time, but I thought I would try something new and do a mini online session with a specific focus: How to get found on Etsy. This session is being sponsored by Etsy, which means I can offer it free for you. The most important part of selling your work online is getting found by your customers. So, I'll talk and take questions about optimizing your shop for both Etsy and Google searches and look at ways you can polish up your listings to get more eyes on your amazing work. Aimed at sellers with new shops or beginners looking at skills they would need to open a new Etsy shop. Monday October 28 • 7:00 PM • Live on my Facebook Page It's totally free to watch, but Etsy and I would both appreciate if you would register through the eventbrite link above to help us track attendance and maybe do more of these mini classes in the future!
