  1. Hello Debbie,
    My name is Rebecca and our team has just launched a new Crafter Selling Platform called MyLocalCrafters.com. It is designed to connect local Crafters to local Sellers and as a hub for Craft Shows. Of course it is also a national platform.
    I don’t know if Etsy has changed but I started this because I was trying to find a crafter in my area for a certain project and found that I couldn’t- not on Etsy or anywhere else.
    I have been crafting for over 20 years but not as a fulltime job as I know some do, so I do understand the industry, how hard it can be and how costly it can be.
    I have done in-depth research on all kinds of platforms. Etsy of course is the largest with 9 million sellers. How can new crafters be found? That was also one of the other reasons why I created this, I wanted to help Crafters keep more profit by concentrating on their local business and to be found locally. (And national business too).
    We just recently launched and have been advertising for 2 weeks. Due to the Easter holiday, we have not had anyone register just yet, but there is good activity and responses. So we are truly at the beginning.
    When I came across your site, I was looking for any current information about the sellers on Etsy and their opinions. We would like to get access to those who may be looking for another platform to sell on.
    And then another thought occurred to me. I would love to invite you to have a free link on our website as an added benefit to our crafters to help them in growing their business. Perhaps this is something that we could discuss. You have a great deal to offer at an affordable price.
    I look forward to hearing from you.
