Etsy seller and author, Charles Huff, offers tips from the craft business trenches on how selling on Etsy can be made simpler, and far more effective, with the power of Pinterest.

La Mesa, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/13/2015 -- Selling on Etsy isn't just about sending out a few emails, or making your Etsy store nice and pretty. According to Charles Huff, author of "How to Sell on Etsy With Pinterest" one of the best ways to boost your craft bottom line is to share the product love on the fastest-growing social network in the world.

"Pinterest and Etsy go together like peanut butter and chocolate. Or glue guns and craft rooms," said Huff.

Unfortunately most Etsy sellers don't have a clear Pinterest marketing plan when venturing into the world of pinboards and repins. "People need to be told exactly what to do," said Huff. "And that includes visiting your Etsy store."

That's why Huff has collected 7 of the best Pinterest marketing tips on how selling on etsy can be made simpler, and more profitable, with a couple of well-placed pins into a dedicated new board, on Pinterest of course, to help Etsy sellers.

Huff's philosophy is central: "Make sure every pin has a function. And that your pinboards are easy to find."

And though sales won't skyrocket overnight - "Nothing in social media is overnight" - Huff does think Pinterest might be an even more important part of Etsy marketing than Facebook.

"Pins and pinboards are like little ATM machines you can plant around the Internet, all pointing back to your Etsy store."

Etsy marketing author Charles Huff shares strategies of how selling on Etsy can be made easier with blogging.

La Mesa, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/12/2014 -- Most artisans selling on Etsy know that a majority of their income derives from sales made within the confines of the popular Brooklyn-based website. But what many Etsy sellers may not know is that they may be missing out on a treasure trove of possible income by ignoring that simple, and affordable, resource: their own blog.

That's according to Charles Huff, author of "How to Sell on Etsy With Blogging" who believes that sellers who "put all their eggs in the Etsy basket" are saying goodbye to thousands of dollars each year.

"There's nothing wrong with selling tons of your stuff on the Etsy platform. But the big problem is you don't control that platform," says Huff. "Etsy can change conditions at any time - which they have - and it's best to keep your sales diverse, across many different channels."

And not only do you maintain control by selling your Etsy wares directly on your own blog or website, but you can also deliver upsells and offer related products. "You have a much more captivated audience on your blog, than you do on Etsy. It's like herding cats," says Huff.

Not that Huff has anything against the Etsy platform. "It's where I make a majority of my earnings." But Huff believes in these tough economic times that small, slight increases to income can make a huge difference.

"And anything that gives Etsy sellers the ability to keep making creations for a living is a good thing."
