Lisa is so down-to-earth and relatable. She cracks me up the way she laughs at herself. I've learned so much from this class- thank you!
I have a mixed feeling about this course. Lisa Jacobs tends to be repetitive with her presentation and the whole course could have been shortened to 2 days. There is not enough instruction on how to validate your products. It's probably easy when you sell jewelry and handmade items, but it's harder when you sell digital goods for a niche market and no one around you falls into the market. On the other hand, the session with Tim Adam is eye-opening and gold. It made me realize that I have done everything wrong and I need to go back to the drawing board. Tim's sessions is the reason why I still recommend this course.
I would recommend this course with 2 caveats: 1) The course was quite long for online viewing and it could have been significantly streamlined without losing any effective content. 2) The module with Tim Adam would have been better to have him on a live feed with GoToMeeting or something like that rather than just his picture. This was the one module that could have benefited from spending a little time explaining things.
Please have Tim Adam from Handmadeology come teach a class or two or three. That was the best part of this class! Seems like the 3 classes that Lisa teaches could be combined into a two day class. So much repeat info between the classes. Time is valuable when you are an entrepreneur. Basic info is out there...focus on the next level info to present.
Overall, I thought this presentation was filled with lots of useful information about creating an Etsy store. I am new to Etsy so this was a good introduction to a lot of things I did not know that... I needed to learn about. I also pricked up a lit of good tips especilly from the QAs. However, the organization of the presentation was a little confusing. The slides noted general topics but the lecture tended to meander. I found myself writing a lot down but I will have to go back later and try to re-organize my notes to put everything together. I viewed a free broadcast so I did not have the course materials to use as a guide.
Great information, nicely presented.
