Time Needed to Create your store on Etsy:
You can log in almost immediately on Etsy,
But while creating your store you have to create its title,
get pictures of the item you want to ell, write a convincing description, determine
price determination points.
To complete the above steps, it can take one or two days.
Tips:
1.
Determine what you are
going to sell: before you put your feet in Etsy, make a list of items that you
can make.
Once the list is ready, go to Etsy and type
in keywords to find other sellers offering similar items you want to sell.
Discover what they sell? How do their
products differ from others? What are their pricing strategies?
Do some competitive analysis and try to
find items on your list that experience less competition.
Based on your initial research and
competition analysis, create an item that you think is more suitable for
creating your initial space on Etsy.
2.
Select a name for your
store: once you register an account with Etsy, you must first set up your
store, and naming your store is the first step of the installation process.
Select a name that represents what you want
to sell. but do not waste time searching for a perfect name.
Etsy gives you another chance to rename
your store, so choose a name right away and think about it later.
3.
Set up your store: here are
the important steps you need to follow when setting up the store.
_create a logo
Creating a logo is extremely important for building a brand
and improving credibility.
Make sure that the logo you design is unique and represents
the items you want to sell.
If you do not have graphic design skills, it is always
better to outsource the design task of a logo to someone on Fiverr.
Tell them what you want and let Fiverr experts do work for
you.
_take attractive item photos
Photos become the first point of contact between your
potential customer and your item.
You must, therefore, ensure that your photos do the work to
attract the attention of the customer and convince him/her to read the
description.
If they do not find the photos of an item attractive, they
will never read the description of your item.
A trick is to study the photos of another successful store that sells similar items like yours and then replicate their technique.
If possible, try to take photos with a digital SLR camera
and use white background,
_offer varying prices, and sizes
4. Most of the successful Etsy sellers offer different article
sizes and prices, helping them attract all levels of buyers.
This strategy helps them to make sure that there's always
something for everybody.
For e.g. if you sell smaller original items at a lower
price, people who can not buy large expensive items can still buy from you.
This way you can meet the needs of both expensive and budget
buyers.
5. Write a convincing
descriptions: the description of your article is the second most important
factor after photos, it is the job to convince potential customers to place an
order with you.
So make sure you write the most appealing
article description.
The best way to start is to study what your
competitors have written in
Their description, to study the biggest
questions your potential customer is asking.
Take notes and model your description
supported your notes.
Also, try to answer the questions of potential
customer, so they do not have reservations when placing an order with you.
Also, communicate important details, about
your item, such as dimensions, the material used, care to be taken during use, and
so on.
6. Add the right tags and
keywords: most potential customers will find your store through search.
You must, therefore, ensure that your title
and description contain the right keywords.
If you want to generate a list of
key-words, think about what your potential customer would type into the search
bar to find what you are selling.
Sniff the title and description of your competitor to dig up more relevant keywords.
Also, create a list of relevant keywords
that appear in the automatically_proposed list of the Etsy search bar and add
them to your listings.
Other options for Etsy:
When you plan to ell arts and crafts, Etsy
should be your first choice of platform.
But if you want to expand your reach even
further, you can consider selling your art on the following websites:

Generating Revenue:
Generating income is very simple.
More people place orders with you, more the money you earn.
Your customer's assessment will have a major
impact on improving your sales, brand building, and credibility.
So make sure you deliver quality items
within your promised delivery dates.
Take the time and care during the packaging
of your items so that it does not bend, break, or break during transport, try to
cover the costs of packaging materials in your shipping costs.
That's all.!!!
