Hello! My name is Katy Fryd and I am an artist
and author and illustrator of the Cat inspector children's book
and I'm making these videos to share some tips on
how to become a successful artist and today's video is about etsy
and selling your work online I think etsy is a really good company
to use if you don't have a shop on your website and you are marketing to lots of different
people like facebook and twitter,
using your mailing list and your able to direct people
from all these different places to somewhere that you can actually
sell your work and etsy accept credit and debit cards
and paypal and their listing is really cheap it's like twenty cents or
twenty pence for four months the only downside I would say
is that you get a few people that find you just browsing on etsy but
most people you have to direct there you have to tell people to go there
so um but I think it is really good, because it's reasonable
you have final listing fees but the up front fees for listing your work
on there are really cheap so definitely worth a go
another downside you don't have the same amount of people like you would on ebay
who are actually going there to spend money
so you don't have those sort of people there necessarily
but I think that will change, I think in the USA it's a much
more well known and popular site and I think in the UK
it's just starting out and blossoming and the more people that are on there
the more people we can get to visit there so I think it will take off
I have sold work through etsy in my shop so I'm going to put a link
below this video so you can go and check out my shop and have a look
around the rest of etsy so you can see if it's suitable and want to use it.
thank you, bye
