Etsy

Hey I'm Justine Smith, the handmade blogger!

I found immediate success on Etsy during my 4 month run (April-August 2009)... I made the front page 11 times, got over 280 sales, wrote for the Storque, had forum threads picked up in the Etsy newsletter and so much more. It was GREAT.

Then I discovered wholesale and within a few months had landed 12 accounts! It was SO MUCH FUN but during this time I kept getting emails from handmade sellers wanting to know how I found success so I started blogging and things took off!

I am the founder of Create Hype, an email for creative product sellers who want to boost their business by, well, creating HYPE!

I am the official Etsy blogger for http://Outright.com, Etsy's bookkeeping partner.
