The Everything Guide to Selling Arts & Crafts Online: How to sell on Etsy, eBay, your storefront, and everywhere else online (Everything® Series)

This book is amazing! I am hoping to go full-freelance with my artwork and start a business around that. This book touches on everything in detail, but is a very easy read. I think I took an entire notebook of notes! I love that it leads you to specific outside resources that can help you out including state and government resources, blogs, online shops, websites, etc. to help you along your journey. I have read several other books on the subject and they all pale in comparison to this one. So many books for artists dumb down the material and are all a bunch of exercises to help you figure out how starting a business makes you "feel" - not helpful! This book provides real-world references and material to lead you in the right direction. If you are serious about starting your own business or selling work online, this book is definitely the way to start!

This is a great reference book to keep around if you're remotely interested in making a living selling arts and crafts online. It lists virtually every available avenue to do so, as well as pros and cons of each. There is A LOT of references packed into this medium-sized book. I enjoyed the format which it was written. I know that I will continue to use this as a reference in the future and I will also refer others to this book as well.

Yes, the book is great and has lots of good info. However, it is for the serious artist who wants to make a living, not a part-time seller. Especially low-income individuals and/or seniors on a very tight budget can forget about ever selling at these venues. And those are the people who most need to supplement their income. It is very discouraging to read about all the permits/business licenses/business bank account and credit card/incorporation/liability insurance (to sell a few acrylic paintings?!)/accounting software/tax ID numbers, etc. that are needed before the first sale can be attempted. Who has the money to consult or hire an accountant or a business lawyer? Instead of getting me fired up to start a business, I decided it is less legal hassle to simply sell my stuff at a garage sale. Selling at a craft fair without a license seems to make me a criminal, and there is the implied thread of stiff penalties and the loss of one's assets. Who needs that stress?

This book is a must have. It is very informative. It has everything you need to know about every aspect of selling online. I highly recommend it.

I bought this for my mom. She makes her own jewelry, but has no idea how or where to sell it. I thought that this book would give her some ideas (which it did). This book is very simple, useful, and explanatory. Almost anyone could read this book and get started right away. Best deal online w/ Amazon Prime!

This is a great book that covers all aspects of planning, preparing and selling one's wares while doing it safely in order to reap the maximum rewards. Highly recommended.

I bought this book because I had planned on making crafts and selling them as a side project. However, I have not achieved that as of yet. I found this book very informative and interesting.

Basically just touches on a lot of different topics. Would like more in depth information. I don't feel that I could actually start a business after reading this book. Still need more resources.

Lots of common sense but also one or too gems. Worth a read

Just love this book

Interesting and helpful. Learned a lot. This can help not only for Etsy but for any way of selling your creations.

I liked this book. For an artist who wants to get some clarity about selling online, this book does the job. It can seem overwhelming at first to put the suggestions into practice, especially if you’re not a natural techie. So my suggestion is read the book, let it settle and then take the next small step to sell your art online.

Great book...was to read...great info
