Did you know I had an alter-ego? \u00a0There are little hints hidden around the site, which reveal more about my other ‘secret' activities. \u00a0The observant among you might have already noticed that I don't just sew. \u00a0I also run Summer ScentSations<\/a> – making bath and body products. \u00a0And if I suspend modesty for just a minute…I'm pretty damn good at it.<\/p>\n

My Etsy shop does very well, and I also have a lot of offline sales, local retail sales, features on daily deals sites and wholesale accounts – both locally and international. \u00a0You might say that I am an Etsy success story. \u00a0So much so, that I no longer have a ‘proper' job, \u00a0I work at home, part-time hours and make my living selling my handmade products. \u00a0And I have fun doing it.<\/p>\n

But it wasn't always like that – I've had 5 Etsy shops, and have made plenty of mistakes along the way before I became successful. \u00a0I learned a lot along the way – what to do, and most importantly – what NOT to do to drive visitors away before they have the chance to become customers.<\/p>\n

I've developed a small range of Make It Yourself Tutorials<\/a>, and some Make It Yourself Kits<\/a> which have been enormously successful. \u00a0Feedback tells me that there are a lot of people out there who have an interest in selling on Etsy and other online shops like Artfire and IndieMade. \u00a0And I get quite a few follow up\u00a0questions\u00a0from these tutorials about selling, how to promote, packaging questions and how I get my customers.<\/p>\n

So I wrote a book to help Etsy sellers – although it applies equally to other\u00a0online\u00a0stores\u00a0too. \u00a0If you are thinking of selling anything on Etsy or Artfire, or already have a shop that struggles to attract sales, then this book IS FOR YOU !<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are also valuable bonuses included which can open up other income streams for you, and learn about the\u00a0affiliate\u00a0program which you can join to start earning right away.<\/p>\n
