This Friday, March 30, our friends at Etsy are hosting the popular Etsy Success Symposium, a day-long series of workshops aimed at helping crafters bolster their business. Although the in-person event is already sold out, you can follow along with all the workshops free of charge as they stream live on Etsy’s web site.
This year’s Etsy Success Symposium will focus exclusively on teaching creative small business owners the skills to get their products out there and get found. This full day of workshops will help attendees create impactful stories for their products, master web and Etsy searches, romance bloggers, turn browsers into lifelong fans at craft and wholesale shows, and get their work found through new social shopping tools like Pinterest. We’ve asked our favorite experts and successful Etsy sellers to guide online and in-person attendees to the next level of Etsy success. Anyone, anywhere can tune in online for a full day of focused workshops all dedicated to teaching you how to get found.
