Etsy usually sends out weekly emails with help on how to improve your store.  The nice part about these blasts are that they usually contain links from fellow Etsians writing how-to's on topics in the hopes that they can pass along stories of their successes and tips on how you too can succeed!  I usually don't spend much time on them as Etsy is a huge time suck, but this one seemed particularly useful!  Check out the link here and my impressive photoshop-ing skills below, thanks to this post!Etsy: Shop Makeover with Photoshop
