Project Overview

Etsy is a leader in e-commerce for creative entrepreneurs. The library in Roseville is offering free classes to help craft makers like you establish an online business to sell your products to a wider market and earn extra income. A successful Etsy seller - Rebecca Grothe - will coach and support participants through every aspect of their online shops such as best practices, time management, branding, pricing, shipping and photography. New sellers will be given the opportunity to list 20 items for free on Etsy.com. Participants must have at least one handmade craft item ready to sell, commit to attending all five classes, no prior sales on Etsy.com, and have a credit card and checking account.
