For the artisans who sell on Etsy, how do you do on Etsy, as opposed to other sites like eBay?

I like watching Etsy! I just love crafts together and thoroughly enjoy seeing what people who are more talented than I do! What other sites do you use to promote your business? Also, if you have your own website, how do you get traffic to your site? I'm not trying to steal ideas from someone! I was sold at craft fairs, flea markets, etc. for years now and I think (hope!) I'm ready in development! All ideas are appreciated!

It is easy to get lost your products on these sites, especially e-bay. Etsy is better because people who shop through Etsy are looking for items made by hand and appreciate the effort and work. This is not always the case on E-bay. The price you get on Etsy are a bit fairer on E-bay there is more competition and you are competing with large companies that could have lower overhead. And many on E-bay are simply not interested in paying a fair price, they want bargains. Some people find they succeed best connect their sites Etsy a personal website or blog, personal site can show case your work and yourself and is more easily indexed and found by Google and Search Engine Yahoo (important!) While Etsy can handle the selling part. Circulation? It is a hard, and the whole world with the most. Some recommend joining all the various boards and building handing out advice to showcase your work and build a reputation that way, but it is easy to have your ideas stolen on message boards and many of those who produce items for sale are leaving these boards. it's pretty disheartening to see the stuff we are working hard on the detachment of (bad) habits and (poorly written) instructions on another site. Paid advertising is better, you can direct your ad to audiences who are looking for your product. It costs money, but it may be a good investment. Often anything free is worth what you pay for. I prefer small shows and sales in shops selling online. There are many traps in question and for a moment I felt that I spent more time on the web than making and selling stuff. But this is my opinion.
