HANDMADE SELLERS 101

Create and optimize your Etsy shop in just 6 weeks

without the confusion, overwhelm, or extra time it takes to learn it all on your own

Who is this program for?

  • Someone who wants to learn how to open an Etsy shop start to finish
  • Someone who wants to have an Etsy shop that is set up correctly and with all the aspects needed for proper SEO (search engine optimization)
  • Someone who doesn’t understand the “techie” side to Etsy
  • Someone who wants all the best information about Etsy in ONE place for easy reference 

How do you know you're ready for an Etsy shop?

All it takes is ONE item to open an Etsy shop. Stop thinking you need a giant inventory to start! In fact, it's better if you *don't* list too many items at once for a few reasons - 1. You don't list a whole bunch of things then realize you did it wrong once you really learn how and then have to go back and fix them all and 2. Because the algorithm favors sellers who are active and continuously listing new items for sale (not all on the same day!).

Being an entrepreneur requires passion and drive. I'm not here to teach you that part. But I can teach you the rest - how the algorithm works, what makes a good shop, how to list items to get the most views, and alllll the techie stuff.

Why should you sell on Etsy if selling on Facebook already works for you??

 

Etsy is a marketplace of 80 million+ shoppers. Buyers come to Etsy for the purpose of purchasing something. Individuals come to Facebook to use it as a social connection – not necessarily to purchase something.

Selling on Etsy gives you access to a new and larger market of shoppers. On Etsy, you can reach more price ranges and buyers with more styles and tastes.

If selling locally or on Facebook is working for you then keep doing it! Etsy doesn’t have to be INSTEAD OF. It can be IN ADDITION TO what you’re already doing.

It’s a way to expand the business you currently have! Who doesn't want more sales?

HERE'S WHAT YOU

The average conversion rate on Etsy is 1-3%. That means that for every 100-300 views in your shop you *should* get one sale. Therefore, one of the most important ways to get sales is to get eyes on your shop. This course will show you exactly how to set up your shop and listings in order to get a larger number of views in your shop.

Here's what students are saying:

If you’re a creative:

  • ready to FINALLY open that Etsy shop
  • OR maybe you're already a shop owner but you've only made a handful of sales and you aren't sure if you set it up correctly

Then Hi! I'm Lauren Kilgore, owner of Handmade Sellers University and BeautifulMesh LLC.

Look, you don’t know what you don’t know, right? That’s why I’m here. To tell you what you may be missing when it comes to setting up your Etsy shop.

No one comes to Etsy knowing how to do it all correctly at first. I definitely didn’t! My first few years I barely sold anything because I didn’t know what I was doing. I cringe at how much wasted time and money I spent trying to figure it all out! But I did my research and spent hours and hours learning and experimenting in my own shop.

Now you don't have to spend all that time like I did and you can skip to the front of the line! This program is based on my years of experience and research. With over 7,000 of my own sales and hundreds of successful past students, you're in good hands.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does lifetime sound? I will ensure that you can always download the videos and documents you need.

Most of the initial setup must be done through the Etsy website rather than the mobile app. You can use a browser on a mobile device but it will be a lot easier if you have a laptop of desktop. You'll thank me later. 

You will need access to the internet to view the videos and course content within your member portal.

Yes, all content is available upon purchase. You can choose how quickly you move through the content to get your Etsy Shop up and running.

This is the discounted Self-Study Version which means it does not come with support. HOWEVER, you can upgrade your version to the "live" version when the program is launched again and participate in the weekly Q&As! You can also join me inside HSU Rockstars for continuing support!
