Online Class – 5 Weeks
with Jennifer Priest
Registration opens on Monday January 23, 2012
Have you ever been told you should sell your crafts? Are you looking to make extra money or even support yourself with an income from your crafting? Do you already have an etsy shop but are looking for ways to make it more successful? If so, then this class is for you!
During this 5 week course we will cover everything from choosing a shop name to having a grand opening. We will cover the material in a straight-forward way to help you take focused action to get your shop on the road to success. Similar courses online cost hundreds of dollars and require months of instruction. I have streamlined the process and distilled it down to what I have found to be most important and beneficial during my experience.
I have been successfully selling on etsy since 2007, doubling revenue each year since I started. I will share my story with you, tips and tricks I have learned along the way, and how to stay motivated through tough times. By the end of the course, you should be open for business and ready to make your first sale!

Hi Jennifer. I’m super excited to take your new class and have tried to sign up for it since you announced it on FB a couple of days ago, however, I can’t find the course listed at MCC.
Hello Jennifer. I stumbled upon your blog and I’m impressed. I love your mini albums. However, this class caught my attention. Will you be offering this class again at any time?
