SETTING UP



              AN ETSY-BUSINESS FOR SELLING

              YOUR PRODUCT ONLINE




              To get your micro-business up and running, you can begin by presenting

              your products online by starting an Etsy-shop. Etsy is the perfect place

              for makers to sell handmade goods. It takes very little time to set up an
              Etsy shop, and it has a low barrier of entry. While it is free to create an

              account, you must pay a small fee for listing your item, and a transaction

              fee upon a sale.




              Here are the steps to take:



              1. Create an Etsy account

              In order to create a seller account, you must first have a consumer Etsy

              account. Navigate to “Sign In” in the top right corner, and a dialogue box

              for credentials will open. After signing in, next to the shopping cart in

              the top right corner is a grey circle with a silhouette on it.

              When you click on the circle, a drop-down menu gives you
              an option to click on “Sell on Etsy.”




              2. Add your picture and bio

              By adding a brief bio and photo in your Etsy shop, you can show

              potential customers the artisan behind the shop. This is a place where

              sellers like to share their inspiration for what they do.



              3. Enter Your Shop Preferences

              Here, enter your shop preferences; language, shop country, shop

              currency and whether your shop is your full-time income or not. When

              finished, click “Save and continue” in the bottom right corner.
