Key Advice From Ben

"Never, ever give up and keep a positive attitude about everything. You might not sell much at first, but as long as what you do is your passion, keep doing it. Stay involved with the community of Etsy: Teams, Chat, post in the Forums, read the Blog, do anything you can to stay up to beat with the artisan world."

Steff's Tips for Newbies
"The best thing anyone can do is have flattering photos, especially for your main thumbnail. No matter what I am looking for, I'll always be drawn to a good eye-catching photo. I like to have a person in the photo too, so you can see the general scale." Find out how SteffBomb promotes her work in this Etsy Blog post.
