Why take this course?

  Perhaps you thought about creating an Etsy shop or have one already as a home based business. Either way it takes more than just creating a shop, adding a product or two, and then wait for the sales to pour in. In this definitive course on Etsy you will learn everything from how to create and open a shop, choosing the proper name for your shop, do's and don't, fast and easy shipping techniques, and what I've done to run a successful Etsy business for nearly a decade now. 

  If you happen to be crafty, artistic, a great baker, sell vintage items or like to build things with your own bare hands you can sell your creations in your very own online shop. Etsy has made it possible for creative people to run their own home based business based on their love and passion for arts, crafts, and baked goods. They also let you sell antique and vintage items as well. The best part is that they will handle all transactions saving you from the hassle. 

  My name is Mike Burke and I run a successful Etsy shop. My products are well loved by many from all around the world and now I am going to teach you everything I learned from A to Z! No stone will be left unturned as we will break down each aspect and detail of running an Etsy shop. 

  We will go through the registration process, naming your shop, creating your products, processing orders, protecting your business, shipping, legal issues, store policies, and all the way to growing your business for more revenue. I'll teach you an amazing tip about sharing your own personal story that can dramatically increase your sales. You will also learn tips for marketing and advertising so that your products and shop can be found even when you are starting out. 

  My approach to teaching is through video in a one to one format. When needed I will also show you live examples from the Etsy website and my own shop. Each lecture covers just one topic full of informative details as well as my own personal stories and experiences related to my own home based business and Etsy shop. I have well over 25 years of experience in front of and behind the camera. I speak clearly with passion and energy. The videos are well lit with broadcast quality sound. Average running time is 5 minutes however there are some 10 to 15 minute long videos as well. You will find printable documents included to help serve as a guide as you take this course and build your Etsy shop. Activity work sheets are also included, printable resource booklets for each section, and as a special thank you for taking my course you can download every lesson in an MP3 audio format. Finally, you will find that at the end of certain sections there will be a quiz. These quizzes are designed to test you on the most important information from each section and lecture. 

  Etsy can change your life and give you an opportunity to be free from any boss for the rest of life. By the time you finish the last lecture in this course you will be ready to build your very own Etsy shop with ease or if you currently have a shop you will learn some new things you didn't know to help increase your revenue. Everything you need to learn on how to create a successful Etsy shop as your very own home based business is here. You don't just dream big; you make those dreams a reality!

I think this course covered the basics for starting a shop on Etsy. It's hard to say 100% because I haven't started working on opening one yet. He seemed honest about how he felt about how Etsy operates, but good to know so you don't get hit blindly by how they may work and change things. I would have liked to see a less distracting set up (lights/shadows), but tried not to focus on that. I felt his encouragement in the end was sincere. Thanks!

I found some of the information incorrect... I'm not sure if it is because this was recorded in 2019 (I'm sure Etsy has had alot if changes since then) or because I'm in the UK, but my Etsy dashboard looks very different in certain areas. If I'd know this before, I would of picked a course with UK 2022 in the title!

Very informative regarding social media, SEO and may other tips to improve your Etsy shop. I really appreciated his stories about his own personal experience. I do have an Etsy shop and I intend to put into practice these extra tips to try to improve sales. Looking forward for more courses from Mike!

It was an excellent course, I learned a lot, and I am going to apply this knowledge to my existing Etsy shop. You are a good teacher and it shows. Thank you!

I've had an Etsy store for quite some time and after these lessons, I feel like I can do more with my shop than I thought possible. Thank you for all the information.

It's great for me. I have a lot of experience (22 + years) selling on eBay, and in Antique malls/Shows, but it is time to try something new.

I thought the course was very through, informative and helpful. Excellent for someone who has never had a Etsy shop before and wanted step by step help to set it up.

There was times in this where I kind of felt like he was calling customers stupid. (e.g. 6:17 of section 6:21 Customer Service, He says "You are going to get a lot of stupid customers") I could go through and label more but I will let the others watch and see for themselves. There are other times he makes such statements. He also states the very people that are buying his products irritate him. I myself wouldn't buy a product from him for that reason. And I'm not saying to believe me, watch the videos yourself. We know how customers are and we know how they can be but to record a video where thousands are going to see this, to me isn't the smartest idea but to each his own. Another thing that dropped the stars for me was the fact that he had videos where he was whispering. Why wouldn't you just wait to record the video until you are able to talk in a normal voice instead of whispering. Kind of odd in my opinion. I don't pay to have someone whisper because he afraid of waking someone up when you could have just waited for the following day. There were a lot of really good videos and points that he had but there were some that to me were just horrible in the way he talked about people. Really great teaching when he wasn't getting all worked up. Spoke about professionalism but at times he lacked it himself. **Please note this is my personal opinion, I have a right to this opinion.*** I am able to put in my review whatever I feel for it's my review whether he agrees with it or not. Not a straight attack on him as a person but I do feel he needs some work.

Mike has truly brought up all of his personal experience in this course. He does not leaves any stone un-turn. He vividly shows the realities of working online from home through Etsy. All the pros and cons were very well explained here. Although some of his experience are bad, Mike really gives me inspiration and motivation to start-up but not giving-up. A truly transparent course by Mike M. Burke.

Extremely thorough coverage of the Etsy system and tips on how to communicate, promote and grow your business. Good real-world examples and advice on how to avoid some of the pitfalls along the way. Mike's voice was still clear and understandable at 1.5x speed <grin>. I took all of the quizes and was surprised that two of the questions had not been updated to reflect recent changes in the Etsy program. Mike, please review the quiz questions and answers... I know that I was paying attention!

Mike's created a very thorough and practical course, showing exactly how to set up your Etsy shop, what you need to do and why and how to promote and build your shop. If your new to Etsy as I was, this is definitely worth the investment.

This has to be one of the best courses on Udemy.. and I have taken quite a few!! Mike is a passionate and knowledgeable tutor who knows his subject. He has run a successful Etsy shop for a number of years and he covers every aspect of running your own Etsy shop. This is not a course written by someone who is just playing at selling on Etsy and has only made a few sales. This is a course written by a very expirenced person who is not afraid to tell you the pitfalls as well as the high points in running your own business. I have never cried at the end of a Udemy course before but Mike's inspirational pep talk was amazing and his passion for Etsy and his products are infectious. This is a course I will be referring back to for a long time to come as he makes regular updates when anything is changed on Etsy and I have no doubt that I will be watching his inspirational pep talk quite a few times more. If I was allowed to say wonderful a dozen times more that wouldn't cover how I feel about this course. I am in the process of setting up my own Etsy shop and I think I would have really struggled without Mike's course. So if you would love to run your own Etsy shop I would highly recommend this course :-)
