The Everything Guide to Selling Arts & Crafts Online: How to sell on Etsy, eBay, your storefront, and everywhere else online (Everything®) Kindle Edition

Yes, the book is great and has lots of good info. However, it is for the serious artist who wants to make a living, not a part-time seller. Especially low-income individuals and/or seniors on a very tight budget can forget about ever selling at these venues. And those are the people who most need to supplement their income. It is very discouraging to read about all the permits/business licenses/business bank account and credit card/incorporation/liability insurance (to sell a few acrylic paintings?!)/accounting software/tax ID numbers, etc. that are needed before the first sale can be attempted. Who has the money to consult or hire an accountant or a business lawyer? Instead of getting me fired up to start a business, I decided it is less legal hassle to simply sell my stuff at a garage sale. Selling at a craft fair without a license seems to make me a criminal, and there is the implied thread of stiff penalties and the loss of one's assets. Who needs that stress?

This book is amazing! I am hoping to go full-freelance with my artwork and start a business around that. This book touches on everything in detail, but is a very easy read. I think I took an entire notebook of notes! I love that it leads you to specific outside resources that can help you out including state and government resources, blogs, online shops, websites, etc. to help you along your journey. I have read several other books on the subject and they all pale in comparison to this one. So many books for artists dumb down the material and are all a bunch of exercises to help you figure out how starting a business makes you "feel" - not helpful! This book provides real-world references and material to lead you in the right direction. If you are serious about starting your own business or selling work online, this book is definitely the way to start!

Glaring misrepresentation of current times. This books is from 2013, and is ridiculously out of date. The book should not be sold anymore. That seven years plus.

This book's contents surprised me; the book's cover conveyed the impression that this would be a light-weight reference read. Instead, the only sections that were treated lightly were those that did not directly refer to online selling, such as deciding whether to delve into online work or not, or photography and any other preparation work. Numerous online venues were discussed at length, such as Etsy, Artfire, and eBay, among others. How these sites work, what the cost, how many listings allowed, time period of the contracts, and also hints and advice to the reader were covered in detail. The tone was informal, but extremely informative.

Great book that is filled with useful information if you are thinking about starting a business online. The only downside is I didn't look to see that it was published several years ago, like 2013. And some of the small businesses mentioned are no longer in business.Other that that, I found it very informative and useful

This is a great reference book to keep around if you're remotely interested in making a living selling arts and crafts online. It lists virtually every available avenue to do so, as well as pros and cons of each. There is A LOT of references packed into this medium-sized book. I enjoyed the format which it was written. I know that I will continue to use this as a reference in the future and I will also refer others to this book as well.

Great book for a beginner like me. It makes a nice addition to my library. No problems with the seller, item, nor shipping. Book arrived in great condition.

I bought a used book... I dont think the pages were ever read... Was in perfect condition. I've just glanced thru it... it should help me some.

Lots of common sense but also one or too gems. Worth a read

The product was as I expected and delivery was fast!
