Отрывок из книги
Does this sound like you? You hate your day job. You trained as a teacher, but what you really want to do all day is knit. Or you wait tables, but you dream of starting your own jewelry-making business. Or your background is in law, but what you really love is constructing handbags out of gum wrappers. There’s just one problem: You have bills to pay. It’s not like you can just ditch your day job to hand-craft sweaters or earrings or purses, right? Wrong. Thanks to Etsy (www.etsy.com), plenty of people have done just that. And armed with the information in Starting an Etsy Business For Dummies, 3rd Edition, you can, too!
What’s Etsy? Etsy was created in 2005 to help artists and craftspeople sell their handmade wares online. (Since then, Etsy has evolved to allow the sale of vintage items and craft supplies.) Etsy allows creative types to channel their passion for their craft into their life’s work. If your dream is to “make a living making things,” then Etsy is for you!

Etsy features unique items – goodies you simply can’t find anywhere else – along with supplies for crafting your own pieces. In fact, Etsy offers an incredible breadth of items for sale, from accessories to ceramics, jewelry to quilts, and everything in between.
