The Handmade Marketplace, 2nd Edition: How to Sell Your Crafts Locally, Globally, and Online

Haven’t read it yet, but as soon as I get a chance I will. Money is tight, but when you find a good book, it is worthy to put in your library, even if you will read it later!

I used the advice I read in here, along with advice from the seller handbook on Etsy and reddit. I'm really glad that I did, because I felt very prepared to start my business and I feel, that since I prepared so well, I've been successful starting a business on Etsy. I definitely recommed this (along with any info you can get anywhere else for free) to anyone who wants to or has considered starting a handmade business, whether it's on Etsy or some other online marketplace.

I rarely give 5stars to anything as I believe there is ALWAYS room for improvement. That said, this is an excellent read and the information WORKS! I'm living it. Thank you for such wonderful and powerful information.

I borrowed this from the public library and after getting 1/2 way through the book I knew I had to have this for myself. It is really well written and gave me MANY insights that were very helpful. I will be reading and re-reading this book!!!!

Handmade Market place is interesting read full of stories who success online with crafting business. It's great for beginner , and for someone looking for motivation.

Thanks to Kari, my business is up and running. Her step-by-step guide led me through around and over rough spots and gave good advice not only from Kari but from her crafter's community. I have waited years to commit my time and invest it and the dollars needed to get started. Kari's book gave me the confidence and the knowledge I needed to get moving!

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.

Really enjoyed this, lot of helpful information. Very helpful for anyone who needs some ideas or advice on what direction to head in with their small craft business.

this book really opened up my mind to how i should approach my online shop.as an partial introvert artist, this book really gives some good tips as to how i can still have a social presence.thankyou Kari chaplin.

Bel libro! Utile, simpatico, veloce da leggere. Certo più adatto a chi vive negli Usa, visto che molti consigli si riferiscono a sistemi Americani (es tasse, ecc.).

This book reads so easily and gives such insightful and valuable information. The many suggestions promote an exciting insight into being a successful crafter! I have already put many ideas into practice and am now excited and enthused about the possibilities. A must buy for all serious crafters.

I have been dabbling with selling my handmade items for a year or so but need confidence to take it to the next stage. This book is really well written and easy to read with advice from a variety of people who are actually doing it. It is very US based but most of it translates well. It has definitely spurred me on and given me lots of practical advice.

Great book! I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to start up their online shop and/or try out the craft show scene. A lot of beginner stuff. Well written- very easy read.
