Get Creative for a chance to Win £10,000 with Etsy

Etsy-Awards

Have you ever dreamed of starting your own creative business? As someone who has been through the process I know well it’s a scary prospect! It’s difficult to leave the stability of regular income and security. But although it was (and continues to be) terrifying it’s definitely the best decisions I ever made.

I’ve been lucky that I’ve been able to support myself through the transition into self employed. In fact I actually have paid off my debt and I have savings for the first time in my life, but I can’t help thinking about how much easier it would have been if I’d had, let’s say… erm… £10 grand to play with from the beginning.

Having that cushion would have given me the freedom to focus all my efforts on my big goals and perhaps I would have progressed much quicker. That’s why I think the Esty Awards to celebrate and support the best of design across the UK and Ireland is a fantastic opportunity for all you side hustlers and wannabe business babes. (As well as anyone already making it happen!)

Etsy is consistently working to support local makers and designers across the UK and Ireland and the Esty awards have the potential to make your business. Not only will one maker win £10,000 but there are a host of other business boosting prizes as well:

  • 1 x £10,000 small business grant.
  • 1 x chance to stock their products in John Lewis.
  • 5 x £2500 small business grant.
  • Exhibiting at TENT London, London Design Festival.
  • Business resources and advice from the Design Trust.

Here is a small selection of some of the talent already on Etsy. What I love the most about independent design is how quickly designers can develop ideas and put them up for sale. It means indie makers are at the forefront of design and are hugely important in developing trends.

What are you waiting for!? Oh, that’s it – 20 free listings right? To enter the competition you need to open your own Esty shop and you can get your free listings with the following code: ETSYAWARDSUKIRELAND here.

Once you’re up and running Enter you shop right here before 28th April. When you do post it in the comments so we can check it out to. I’m always looking for more Etsy shops to crush on!

    Could you correct the word ‘you’ in Enter you shop… in the sentence “Once you’re up and running Enter you shop right here before 28th April. When you do post it in the comments so we can check it out to. I’m always looking for more Etsy shops to crush on!

    This is a real good post for people who want to earn some money simply just by doing their favorite things by creating art, when I was not in a mood to create something beautiful I started to take some money via services like this https://triceloans.com/no-faxing-1-hour-payday-loans/, and they helped to escape from money gap and I overall forget about financial problems and create a lot of beautiful pieces.

    Deep tissue massage is a type of massage therapy that uses firm pressure and slow strokes in order to reach deeper layers and fascia (the connective tissues surrounding the muscles). Deep tissue massage is used to treat chronic pains and areas like stiff neck and upper back, low back discomfort, tight leg muscles, sore shoulders, and other contracted conditions.Visit body massage in bangalore

    A b2b massage can help you to relax your muscles, which can make it easier for you to sleep at night. The mind can also be relaxed. Relaxing allows your brain to focus on the things it needs instead of worrying about other issues.Visit nuru massage
