I received a few requests to share thoughts and methods on introducing and improving SEO within Etsy shops. Since Etsy is my go-to place for all things special/unique/fun and the community is just so amazing, how could I say no? These stores, often times operating right out of the home, provide opportunities for us, the consumer, to not only support our creative counterparts but to also find some really awesome stuff. No joke. I could get sucked into that site...

And if we have someone – a mentor, teacher, friend – to help fuel motivation, that’s amazing. But to provide that type of service to someone else – to be an...
