Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)So far this book looks great to promote my two shops on Etsy (selling French items, home decor,Jewelry etc.)
How I wish I had this book when I first opened my shop almost a year ago! I struggled so much, and often the Etsy admin is too busy too help. I haven't spent as much time as I'd like with this book yet, but I can tell you that it is a wonderful base to start with. Great for anyone starting a Shop on Etsy or who is lost in the "Etsy maze". I am now an experienced Etsian, and not surprisingly, this book also has unique and useful ideas for seasoned Etsyans as well.
The index is great, which is rare in books now days. It has about 17 pages of index, and is very useful and detailed. It also has a quick summary or overview for "contents at a glance", and a detailed table of contents also.
It has great headlines and graphics. The book is very dense, as the type isn't too small, but not big either because there is so much info.
The time-tested formula of the dummies format is proven and wonderful. I am not surprised how well I could find everything, and even found new ideas.
There are lots of tips and icons to guide you along the way, warnings etc.
I will update this review as I read more.
Pros: very dense and full of informations for new Etsyan
Cons: maybe not as useful for the more experienced Etsyan
