Etsy is a uniquely popular website partly because it ties into the passion of a significant portion of the population by allowing you to promote and sell the products that you made yourself.

It not only appeals to the artistic and entrepreneurial side of many people, it also has many of the popular features other social media sites have. For example you can follow those Etsy craftsman and artists that you want to keep informed about.

So it is a relatively easy and quick process to set up your Etsy account to suit your custom tastes in arts and crafts. And if you are far enough to promote and sell the unique creations you have made with your own hands you may find yourself hooked on Etsy and the vast potential it has to build and communicate with communities of like minded artists and craftspeople. It is of course free to make an account.
