3. Learn how to sell Phone Cases on Etsy.

Test your Product first. For example, making some samples and posting them on Instagram and Pinterest. Ask your friends and followers some questions:

  • Do you like the Phone Cases product I made?
  • If you like it, do you want to buy it?
  • If you are considering buying it, how much are you willing to pay for it?
  • If you buy it, how long are you willing to wait?
  • If you don't like it, why?

The answers would help optimize your Phone Cases products.

Next, set up an Etsy account to start selling on Etsy. The 2 must-dos are:

  • Build a consistent and unique brand for your Phone Cases shop. Shop name, logo, brand colors, fonts, mission and vision, and packaging...... all need to be considered.
