Etsy with the ExpertsÂ
Etsy: is it a social media platform or an ecommerce website?
Trick question- it's a little bit of both. Etsy has a foot in both worlds, which can make it a bit confusing when you're trying to think of how to get your products in front of more people.This month, we've talked to a few different people who sell their products on Etsy. All of them have their own websites too, and combine the online sales with a "real life" store. Whether you're selling on Etsy already or are curious about how it works, check out the awesome people we interviewed below :)If you have any questions, email us or stop by Anchorspace. Always happy to talk to friends.'See' you soon,Nicole and the Breaking Even TeamPS We are on Etsy! Click here to check out our cards there (we have single cards and variety packs.
All About Etsy
Etsy is a marketplace for "unique goods" and is a combination of social media platform and ecommerce site. This month we asked some sellers on Etsy what their experience has been so far:
Etsy Featured Artist: Dory Smith Graham
Dory creates jewelry, hats, scarves, bowties, and more from organically sourced material. She shares how she's stood out in the marketplace using branding.
Etsy Featured Artist: Amanda Zehner
Living Threads Co. uses Etsy and their own website to connect handmade textiles around the world to the U.S. marketplace-with a little help from the internet!
Etsy Featured Artist: Jennifer Steen Booher
A fine art photographer in Bar Harbor, who has shipped orders to 15 countries and 30 states with a combination of Etsy and her own website.
Marketing Monday: Etsy 101
For those considering the cost/benefit analysis of selling on your own ecommerce website versus Etsy (if "both" is not an option), this post covers the pros and cons.
Noteworthy This Month

GiftMDI has been my hobby the last three months (more below). Rather than paying Google or Facebook for ads to get the word out, we're going to use affiliates for our lean, mean marketing efforts.
So if you've held off doing this because of hassle, try this.

Not really "new" but definitely noteworthy, the
we have at
. I appreciated them as a runner who worked out pre-work, but now as a 7 month pregnant woman, the ability to move around to get comfortable throughout the day has made work SO much better for me, my back, and my non-swelling veings :) (Pic is from 2015)

If you're looking for the perfect piece to pull a room together, look no further than this Millenium Falcon Asteroid coffee table. For the reasonable price of a few thousand dollars, this is guaranteed to become a conversation starter with guests. On the other hand, the Hot Wheels version looks a bit more budget friendly...

Barbara Strubell has an upcoming art show on June 10 at the Southwest Harbor Public Library and wanted to get the word out.
We wrote her a press release, helped her distribute it, added it to local community calendars, and created Facebook posts on her page and a Facebook event to build excitement. With us handling getting the word out, Barbara can concentrate on the art part of getting ready for her art show. Congratulations Barbara on getting your work out there!
