Crafty Superstar is an introduction to creating, working, and promoting your own craft store.

I have had an Etsy store for 10+ years but my sales are low. I had bought this years ago and hoped it would help me get more traffic. The book is pretty general. I had pretty much-done everything it had said.

It took me a while to get to this book so it is a little outdated. In fact, there is a newly updated book I would like to look at. I am not sure what would have made it better. I feel I need more info on how to sell on stores like Zazzle and CafePress or how to promote them and how to sell those products at craft fairs. The book had little about that but not enough.

The book was written well but is really for the person who is really starting out. So not for me now… (más)

Describes the how and where of selling, instructions on legal and financial requirements, and pages of useful templates and lists of links. Dobush stresses the importance of the human connection in selling handmade items - learning from and working with fellow crafters, and responding warmly and quickly to customers.

Fun little book with realistic advice, examples of crafters who turned their passion into businesses, outstanding graphics and call-out boxes and pages.… (más)
