Etsy
By Tim
I love the idea of Etsy. I love that it exists. The site was started by young entrepreneurs for artists and crafty people to sell their creations to others. Etsy started in 2005 and has since grown to over 250,000 members with 50,000 sellers and there are over 500,000 items for sale. Etsy isn’t an auction site, or a sleazy affliliate, internet marketing, sell-you-something website. Etsy only accepts handmade items that will be listed on your own store on the site. It’s very cool.
Etsy has a great relationship with their members and they hold a monthly Workshop. This site and community around it is a great example of passionate people sharing and selling what they love.
The video below is a short HOW-TO created by Etsy for others. Check it out, you can even download the template, print it out, and tag-up Portland with Etsy’s logo 
Oh I kid.
