How To Open an Etsy Shop - a Step by Step Guide

This how to video is the first part of my 'Etsy Fears' mini series for all creative entrepreneurs who are thinking about starting an Etsy shop and selling their work online. I'm diving into everything Etsy to help ease some of the fears and worries you may be feeling about selling your work through this online platform so you can feel confident about taking the leap and getting started.

Today's episode is all about how to set up an Etsy shop and I will be showing you the process of how you open your store. I'll be explaining everything you need to do to get going - and I'll be doing it with you - as I open my 2nd Etsy shop as a new seller in 2024 for Her Handmade Hustle.

In this video, we will be covering:
registering your information
naming your shop and setting your preferences
adding your first product listing
how you get paid
how you pay your Etsy bills
verifying your identity

I'm documenting the whole journey to show you exactly how to set up your own Etsy shop, as well as explaining all the things you need to know to sell your work successfully online.

This series is perfect for anyone wanting to start selling on Etsy and now sure how, as well as anyone with an existing Etsy shop who needs to give it a boost.

I'll be giving lots of tips on how to get your Etsy shop found on this oversaturated marketplace, looking at everything from adding your logo, shop banner and business bio to writing effective product descriptions, explaining postage and delivery settings and writing your shop policies.

You can learn how to manage the day to day running of your shop, including how to respond to customer enquiries, activate holiday mode and understand your finances and fees. We'll cover it all! You'll also be able to see what works (and what doesn't) so you can use the information from my experiment and apply it to your shop.
