Want Your Shop to be Featured?

I want to start featuring other Etsy sellers on a regular basis.  This may sound a little crazy since I would essentially be helping out the competition, but I believe that helping other sellers can help all of us.  Surely I'm not the only one experiencing the Etsy madness.  What experiences have those other seller had that can help me?  Do they know about resources that I don't?  What tips would an experienced seller offer a newbie?

My goal is to do a Feature Friday blog post every Friday and feature a different seller for each one.  If you'd like to be featured, send me an email at nativeandpilgrim(at)gmail.com.  Let's face the Etsy madness together!!

Possible topics to address:

• Your biggest challenge as an Etsy seller
• Great/helpful resources for sellers
• How to write shop policies, item descriptions, etc.
• Product photography tips
• Marketing tips
• Advice on different shipping methods
• Creating great relationships with your customers
• The difficulty of pricing your products
• How you manage your time
• Have you ever had a difficult customer?
• Creating custom items
• Selling patterns and other email delivered products
