Starting an Etsy Business for Dummies (For Dummies (Business & Personal Finance))

I would recommend this book to anyone wanting to start an Etsy business. It is an excellent place to start when building knowledge in rhis area or learning about a type of online business opportunity. The authors always present their subject in a positive, encouraging manner offering good clear steps and helpful points without presenting the information in such a way to make the reader feel bogged down by it. Also because the steps to do certain tasks in Etsy are laid out in a quick reference format, the book serves as a good reference later on for following the technical side of setting up an Etsy shop or just using Etsy for shopping. A good place to start for anyone interested in Etsy. Check it out.

This is a very good book for the new Etsy seller. The only issue I have with the actual book is that the picture, or examples of the screens you would see online are very "light". They are very difficult to read. Of course, if you were following along and actually doing things as the dialogue indicated you would be seeing it online, but, if you were simply reading the book through before attempting to actually set up your store, it is difficult to see in the book. The information is great though.

This book was helpful. Very detailed for making handmade products. I wish it had more information on selling digital products.

I bought this book to help me successfully launch my Etsy business. I’m more than half way through (it’s an easy read) and it’s been quite helpful so far. The book is very basic - perfect for Etsy beginners but if you’re already established on Etsy, this book might be too basic. I think I need the next level up.

This book is for someone who has never jumped into Etsy but is thinking about trying it out. There are a lot of good tips but it just didn’t have the information that I was looking for as someone who has already started an Etsy shop. Granted I’m still new at it but most of what this book offers is a step by step on how to open a shop which Etsy pretty much does for you in the first place.

Highly recommend.Walks through steps that you may not have thought of, and screen shots. My book is covered with notes for my shop and pages to revisit. Gonna start up on Etsy but need a friend to help guide your way? This is the best book to be your best friend during the start up process! So much advice! Also extra tools and such you can access after buying the book..

This book covers starting and Etsy shop "from A to Z." I found the information easy to absorb but I could not just sit down and read the book cover-to-cover as there was too much information to absorb and apply in one sitting. Highly recommend if you are interested in starting an Etsy business.

Great help in setting upEtsy.
