Hi folks, below you'll find the links to the articles and worksheets that we mentioned during the live event.

- Gather essentials by downloading the Quick Start Checklist to begin preparing everything you’ll need: http://etsy.me/1A72t0K

- For more advice on setting wise goals, read the article, "Ready for Etsy Success? Start With an Etsy Goal" on the Seller Handbook blog: http://etsy.me/1KaVZBw

- To make the most of keywords, begin by brainstorming words or phrases that customers might use to find your items with our brainstorming guide: http://etsy.me/1E9TAOY

- Most Etsy sellers are not professional photographers by trade. In that case, you’ll most likely have some studying to do. Start here with our photography tips: http://etsy.me/1RQ7ZdW

Thanks again to all of you who attended! For those who weren't able to make it to the live session, you can watch the archived video here: http://etsy.me/archive514

Hi, I'm not from the USA, does "6:30 p.m. (ET)" mean East Coast Time? Can you tell me what time will it be, according to GMT ? Thanks!

Etsy's UScenrticness is showing. NOT an admin...but pretty certain they mean East Coast Time...which for conversion purposes is Eastern Daylight time. Here's a handy-dandy converter. (I do not vouch for its accuracy.)

I forgot how to list items and need help with ideas for how to deal with Canadian postage. I.E. should I offer free shipping and make my prices higher to incorporate shipping? Or list postage? I had success selling everything in my store but now I completely forgot how I did it. I am interested in listing and selling vintage items, not hand made items. Looking forward to this! Thank you,

Thanks Clare for hosting this event!

I plan on increasing the awareness of my shop by:
1) Posting updates on our social media about new product releases on our Etsy page. (Advertising on FB, also)
2) Including cards in customer's orders about our Etsy page.....even if they purchased from our website.

I would love to hear what other store owners are doing in this field!
