Editorial Guidelines

Our Mission

The Crafty CEO exists to help handmade sellers grow their Etsy shops through practical, actionable guides. Every piece of content we publish is written or reviewed by people who understand the realities of running an Etsy business — from listing optimization to product photography.

Content Standards

• Accuracy: We verify platform policies, fees, and features against Etsy's official documentation before publishing.
• Practicality: Every guide includes step-by-step instructions that sellers can implement today, not abstract theory.
• Timeliness: We review and update guides whenever Etsy makes significant platform changes or algorithm updates.
• Independence: Our product recommendations and reviews are based on genuine testing or community feedback, not paid placements.

Review Process

Before publishing, each guide goes through a two-step review: a factual accuracy check against current Etsy policies and seller forums, and a practical usability review to ensure instructions are clear and actionable for sellers at all experience levels.

Affiliate Links & Sponsored Content

Some articles contain affiliate links to photography equipment, tools, or resources we recommend. These are always disclosed clearly. We never recommend products solely for commission — every recommendation reflects genuine value for Etsy sellers. We do not accept sponsored content that compromises editorial integrity.

Corrections Policy
