useful little book for Etsy beginners; more experienced sellers may find it less helpful. A thorough review of Etsy selling.

In my opinion, this book is superior to other Etsy how-to books out there. Really useful tips and practical ways forward. Other reviewers are sceptical as to how useful this might be for an expert and perhaps they are right, but I am a beginner on etsy and am finding this very helpful.

Format:Paperback
I got this book as I am a newish seller on etsy (soeweyarns) and I needed some help. Yes Etsy has a handbook but I can't take it down the beach with me. It's been written in plain English, very clear with lots of screen shots so you know what you should see. I have learnt so much and I'm only a 1/4 of the way through the book. A must have for any etsy seller.

I got a lot of useful information from this book. It's clearly set out and easy to understand, for people like myself who aren't particularly computer literate.
