The IDRS Acorn Project and the Washoe TANF program has teamed up to help you launch your e-commerce journey.  The Acorn Project will visit eight Washoe TANF sites in California and Nevada over four weeks during June and July teaching you how to launch an Etsy store.  But this workshop is not just for Native artisans and crafts people.  Anybody selling a physical or digital product will learn critical skills to build better listings to help you sell more for more money.

In the workshop you will learn how to turn your handmade products into professional Etsy listings that attract buyers and help your work stand out online. In Selling on Etsy, you’ll learn how to write stronger product titles and descriptions, use storytelling and keywords to improve visibility, and create listings that reflect the quality, meaning, and authenticity behind your work. Participants will also learn how to use ChatGPT as a simple tool to help create polished Etsy listings faster and with more confidence.

Selling on Etsy at the Washoe TANF’s Grass Valley office will take place on Wednesday, July 1st from 5:30 pm to 8:30 pm.  Registration is open to all community members and the workshop is free to attend.  To register please click on the “Going” button above and fill in your information.

The Workshop will be held at Washoe Native TANF which is located at 420 Sierra College Dr., #220 in Grass Valley, California.
