Etsy Teams

When I began to spend more time learning about Etsy, my friend told me to join a “street team”.

I had NO clue what that was but she said it was important.

I looked on the team page and found two teams to join.

To find the teams page:

Go to Etsy’s homepage.

Click on the Community Tab.

Click on Teams–6th tab over.

Under the 2nd orange heading, “What Can I Find Here?” click profiles.

Look over the teams and find one to join. Teams are often a location, type of craft, interests, etc.

I’ve found that teams help promote your shop and the members are a valuable resource for motivation and encouragement.

5 Reasons to Take Advantage of Etsy Teams

When you’re busy selling online, running your home, and trying to be a balanced person, taking time to join a team seems to be one more task on the “to do” list.

Taking time to join an Etsy Street Team (or two) can be a great advantage to your business.

Here are some advantages:

1. Teams have a searchable tag to use on your listings. The teams I’m in use “sheteam” and “teamcac”

2. Members promote each other in blog posts, treasuries, and the Etsy forums.

3. Team members are a great resource for all your Etsy questions. There’s always someone more knowledgeable than I. Everyone is usually ready to help.

4. Team members help and encourage “newbies” as they get started.

5. Participating in a team makes the virtual world of Etsy a smaller more friendly community.

Teams are based on many interests. You can find a team for homeschoolers, Christians, photographers, knitters, jewelry makers, wood workers, as well as by location.

Teams are usually upfront about requirements for participation. Check out the teams and find one to join.
