Etsy Classes Online

This is a great class. I've watched it many times. Now that Etsy has made some big changes to the platform, it would be great if Lisa could have a followup class and include the relevant updates; the use of A.I., Printables, Print on Demand, etc.

this class was very educational I learned a lot from this class

Absolutely loved this timeless course. Even though it looks like it was produced in 2016, the information is just as current and relevant today as it was back them. Megan is a great instructor ... easy to listen to; cuts straight to the important points; and breaks down the processes into bite size tasks so they don’t seem so overwhelming. Thank you Megan for motivating me to do what I’ve been putting off for the last 4 months. Sandy

IT'S AMAZING COURSE... REALLY

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

I loved the class and the energy of Lisa.

I'm just starting up and i now feel like i can move forward and get my business started. The marketing segment was really valuable for me because i knew nothing before!!! Now i know something! Yay!

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

Wow- such a wealth of info. I know the class is a few years old, but almost all of the tips, tricks, and insight is still valid for the etsy startup process and the maker journey. Thanks Lisa and CreativeLive!

This class presents a lot of useful tidbits to contemplate and strategies to utilize when you're ready to set up your own online store outside of the Etsy marketplace. The instructor is knowledgeable and does a great job of presenting.

I now understand why I´m not happy with how my business goes. I´m avoiding way too many of the things I should be doing out of "shyness privacy, not wanting to "molest" people and some weird pride" being afraid of exposure, limitig myself... I understand that I have to totally rethink and restructure everything

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!

There are a lot of great information in this course, but also a few problems that need improvement: * Lisa used presentation slides to sparingly that sometimes it's hard to follow her point. She needs more coaching on designing effective presentation. * A lot of examples in the course are personal observations from her own strategy, which may not apply to everyone. There are not enough varieties of examples to consolidate into an actionable step.

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 class with a caveat: The presenter recommended Fiverr, which is a third-rate freelance job community participated by inexperienced designers selling their labor for cheap in exchange for experiences. Even if you are a small business owner on a shoestring budget, if you want to stay in the game for the long run, it's better to hire top professional designers with credibility. You get what you pay for. Do you want a cheap business transaction and then risk losing the consistency of your brand identity, or do you want to establish a respectful business relationships with designers? It's your choice.

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.

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)

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.

This is a great addition to Megan's metalsmithing series. She makes the topic really approachable. Bonus that metal patinas were added in to the class. I loved the class!

I really enjoyed this class! It was very informative and gave me a lot of ideas for expanding a jewelry line to include a variety of bracelets and finishes.

Another great class but Lisa! I really enjoyed the topics covered and she gave so many examples that can be used for your business.

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

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.

Lisa gives a great class for those just starting out, or an artist who doesn't quite grasp the business side of operating. I am an established seller and I found this class too basic to be much use at my current stage. Recommend for beginners.

I would like to thank you for sharing your knowledges. It was very interesting, I learned useful tips for improving my etsy shop, especially about copywriting, SEO etc. And I excited to improve my store and bring new customers also. And yes, I already reccommended your lessons to my friends :-) Thank you again.
