Frequently Asked Questions

Is this book worth it if I only sell on Etsy right now?

Yes, if your goal is to expand. The book covers Etsy alongside Amazon, Shopify, Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest, so the value is in the comparison between channels rather than Etsy alone. Etsy-only sellers get the most from the chapters on where to go next.

How well is Sell Your Crafts Online reviewed?

It holds a 4.5 out of 5 star rating from 1,025 reviewers, which is a high volume for a handmade-business title and suggests the advice has held up for a wide range of sellers.

Is this available as a Eook or audiobook?

The format listed here is paperback. Check the product listing for other available editions, since Amazon often shows Kindle and audiobook versions on the same page.

Does it cover selling on social media, not just marketplaces?

Yes. Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest each get coverage, plus a section on working with influencers, so social selling is treated as a real channel rather than an afterthought.

Who wrote it, and is this a current edition?

The author is James Dillehay, who writes for handmade and craft sellers. Check the product listing for the edition and publication date, since platform-fee and algorithm details change between printings.
