What is Etsy? Etsy.com is an online site where people can list any and all handmade items for sale. This is a great way to have an online shop for practically no money. Each listing costs $0.20 for 4 months, and when and only when you make a sale, Etsy takes 3.5%. Of course if your customer pays by Paypal, Paypal takes their cut too.
Etsy seems inundated with jewelry but some sellers seem to be doing very well. In upcoming posts, I hope to feature some Etsy jewelry sellers and to pick their brains about some online jewelry-selling tips and tricks.
If you sell jewelry on Etsy, I would love to hear your comments, and I may contact you about being one of my weekly Featured Artists.

Well, I've already learned something here, LOL ~ thanks!
I'm new to Etsy, and would love to be featured on your blog...
I do have another Jewelry shop and a website, but I've been creating exclusively for my Etsy Shop lately because I really like that Etsy is devoted to hand-crafted items only! ~ Cher

As a new "Etsian" and jewelry designer, I'd love to be featured on your blog.
Altho I have another online store & website, I've been creating exclusively for my new Etsy Shop lately, because I really like that it's for hand-crafted items only.
Also, I enjoy being part of such a talented, creative & artistic community of sellers of such unique products, and my fellow jewelry designers only serve to inspire me!

You have the makings of a great blog :) I would love to be considered when you feature other artists. Thanks! ~Jasmin
Hi! I'm pretty eclectic with my jewelry styles, but I'm starting to lean more and more towards my charm bracelets and charm necklaces. It appeals to the magpie in me, that wants to collect lots of shiny things and put them all together.
I would love to be a part of your world, too!

Etsy is a wonderful place for sellers of all handcrafted items.
It's becoming more popular everyday, and the team behind it keep updating and improving the site.
I love it there!
Cheers!
