Sellers!

Below you'll find a handy index of all the useful how-to's about selling on Etsy. We're calling it the Seller Handbook, and we first posted it on The Storque in September of 2007. We add every new how-to's for sellers to this index and bumping up the post when we do. In this way it's a living document.

You can also search the Storque tags for "Seller Handbook" for a chronological list of all our published how-to's related to Selling.

I am fascinated - how do i add his link to my favourites? Please advise. thanks.

Sept. 29, 2008 at 9:06 a.m. Vanessa

kavs3us, you can bookmark this page using your web browser. With firefox, there's a Bookmarks toolbar.

You have given me a great idea...Etsians need a way to opt into bookmarks of Storque posts or heart posts and have those in their profiles. This would be cool for sellers who are featured in posts too!

Sept. 29, 2008 at 12:51 p.m. CoraMarieBoutique

This is a great resource. You guys did an amazing job putting it together. I bookmarked it. Thank you very much:)

I spent time to develop my product so why wouldn't I attempt to learn how to use Etsy to its capacity as well as to my benefit? I am impressed with the "know how" material you provide to your members. You enable us to use Etsy as the powerful tool that it is. Thank you for making it so easy to be a part of a world wide community of like minded sellers and buyers.

Every morning the first thing I do is check on Etsy. I feel like you all are such good friends so I can be honest and tell you that as long as I've been selling on Etsy I never read these articles...thought I could do it all myself. Sadly this isn't the case as you can see by my sells. This article has helped me so much and I've already started using some of the ideas. Thank you so much for the tools we need to make our shop a success!
