Start your own business selling one-of-a-kind treasures shoppers can’t find in regular stores. For crafters, it’s a revolution.

Just follow the step-by-step instructions in this book to register at Etsy, photograph and list your items for sale, and rake in the cash.

You’ll learn the best tools for making it all work, no computer geekery required. You’ll see how to sell more items more quickly, earn more money, and have more fun, spending more of your time doing what you loved in the first place—creating new things, finding new treasures, and meeting lots of new people obsessed with the same stuff as you. Even if you’re shy!
