This is the second in our 4-week series of posts to help you give your Etsy shop a makeover for the new year! I asked Mike from Ollibird to give us a few Photoshop lessons, sure to take your Etsy product photos to the next level.

Your next task is to dig through this week's Etsy Success Reading List, where I share five resources from that vast small-business blogosphere to get your product photos on track. 
Otter Begs You, Please Use All Five Photo Spots

Here's a challenge to keep you busy this weekend: go through your shop and fill out those empty photo spots. Here are a few creative ways to fill up those last spots:
1. Take a few photos of your packaging. Upload these to your listings.
2. Get a nicely lit photo of you creating! Add it to give your buyers a window into your creative world.
3. Put that item in an environment. Would it look great in a retro kitchen? Worn by your niece? Photoshoot time! 
Next week we're going to dig into titles, descriptions and tags. Submit your shop to be made over in one of these Etsy Success team threads. And don't forget to let us know how you're doing!
