Etsy 101: Launch Your Handmade Shop with Marlo Miyashiro

Lots of content and like that it was organized into categories. Presentation skills should be worked on; the giggling was distracting.

Enjoyed the class, now I need to get my store going.

Really great course for anyone considering to open up an Etsy shop. Marlo is straight to the point and keeps it simple. - Yes she giggles a lot, but it breaks it all up so you don't get bored half way through:o) As I am from Denmark, I would have liked to know a bit about shipping options here in europe. And if I can change currency into DKK instead of USD, but other than that I feel she covered everything. Thanks! :o)

it's good information but the giggling is so annoying that I'm undecided about purchasing this class. :-(

From all the information I've read from other people and from the discussions on the Etsy Blog, this course was a huge eye opener. There is information I could have gotten until I open a shop that Marlo provides you with in this course. She's open, honest and extremely helpful in answering questions. And the information she provided should be a must-read/watch for anyone who is entirely new to Etsy and wants to open a shop.

So much information here! Marlo is wonderful as she walks you through the ins and outs of Etsy. Great for someone that has never had an Etsy store.

I think this is an excellent class for crafters who want to get more out of their Etsy shop, and learn the basics. She really goes through the details step-by-step, but sometimes really states the obvious. I did find her giggling also rather distracting at times. In the workbook there are slides on how to do the shop banner, but I don't think they are in the actual presentation? I think this is a pretty important part of an Etsy shop and seems an oversight of that being left out in the recordings?

If you want to get a good overview of how to get an Etsy shop up and running, I can definitely recommend this class. It not only tells you how to set up the shop itself, but also covers topics such as Etsy guidelines and the fees you pay for listing items and getting paid. The bonus materials are well-structured and really add to the presentation. To be completely honest, I do think that Marlo's giggling is a bit distracting and she sometimes loses track of what she was going to say. In all fairness, I do think I should mention she may have been extra nervous because she was having technical issues during the live presentation that were out of her control.

This is an an amazing class. It is great for beginners as well as those who have had their shop up for while. There is something new to learn for everyone on Etsy. Marlo's powerpoints are concise and clear. I was so glad to also get the ebooks so I can go back and review the course while I make changes to my store. I am able to bookmark and work through all the changes. Thanks for this course, Marlo and CreativeLive.

I highly recommend this class also. I came home with a two page checklist of things to change in my shop to increase traffic and make it more coherent. Marlo's information and course design is so easy to follow and the handouts & bonus material are incredible!

Really enjoyed Marlo's presentation. I am a seasoned Etsy seller, but with Etsy always changing, I thought the class would still be of value. I was right! Learned so much and now have a long list of things I can do to make my shop even more successful. Highly recommend this class.

Marlo's live presentation was terrific! I learned a lot and was motivated to buy her materials. Looking forward to reading her materials in greater depth. Much thanks!
