Calling all my fellow handmade bag ladies and dudes.
This one is for you.

So, you've done your research and found the perfect handmade bag niche to sell, yay! that's great.
What now?

I'm sure you have a lot of unanswered questions, like where is the best place to sell my products?

  1. How much will it cost me to set up a website and do promotions?
  2. How will I get customers to come to my shop? etc.
  3. I don't have a lot of money or time to invest.

Well, you're in luck, today I'm going to discuss the pros and cons of selling on Etsy, the premier marketplace for handmade products of all kinds.

5 Pros of selling on Etsy.com

  1. Etsy is a great place to test your product as a beginner at online selling. Before you invest your hard earned money you need to make sure that you have a saleable product and can cover all of your overhead costs.
  2. Etsy is specifically designed to market handmade products. That way you won't have to compete with manufacturers and mass-produced products like on some other sites. Customers are more open to paying a bit more for the personal touch that artisans offer.
  3. The owners and crafters on Etsy also support each other's businesses so there's is the possibility for in-house sales.

    there's no need for constant time consuming and expensive promotion.
  5. Bloggers and other media outlets browse Etsy for new and upcoming crafters to feature. Hello! more exposure means more sales.

5 Cons of selling On Esty

  1. Etsy is a very competitive marketplace. As a new seller, it may be difficult for you to get noticed.
  2. Fees such as listing, commission and Paypal can add up but it is still meagre compared to other sites, Just include them when pricing your product.
  3. Etsy owns your shop and if for some reason they close or sell their site you stand to lose all your feedback and links garnered.
  4. Customers refer to all the shops as Etsy and not their individual names, which makes your shop forgettable.
  5. Many of the shops may be selling the same products.

Esty checklist

  • Username
  • Password
  • shop name - at least two and you can add the word shop or boutique to the end if you like.
  • Have at least 5 items ready to list

  • A list of descriptive words to use in title and tags( use a keyword tool)
  • Have a price plan for your items
  • Know the cost of shipping your products
  • Credit/debit card
