I'd be curious to hear anyone's experience selling on etsy; how it works, how it worked for you, what methods you used to get the word out, etc.

I looked into it, but I don't think there's any money there. There are so many sellers on etsy, and unless you have something completely unique and original, it's probably not going to get noticed.

That being said, I'd be happy if someone proved me wrong.

That's the impression I have too, Photoboothguy, so I'm wondering if it would be useful for someone who can otherwise get people looking there for prints (i.e., external marketing).

I'd be curious as well. I only put three up to see how it goes and so far... meh.

I completely agree. I already regret wasting money on putting them up. Haha.

i sell on etsy as well my store naturallymephotos.etsy.com---
may i make a suggestion----put aside what you want to sell until after you fill in where you live, your bio and your store policies---people look at that kind of stuff to make certain its for real---when your all set up let me know and i will make your store a favorite or give you a heart---best of luck

i didnt see the other posts until i hit the reply button---i agree with the one person who said that there is a lot of people selling on etsy and unless you have something that stands out your not going to sell any thing---ive hooked up with another artist he puts my photos on coasters because of that i was able to sell two sets---otherwises prints dont generally sell--jewlery is a big hit----if you can find away to put your photos on a piece of jewlery you would have hit on your hands---
