In this video, I'm breaking down why white backgrounds are working against your Etsy listing photos and costing you money. I'll explain the psychology behind why white backgrounds make viewers work harder to connect with your work, the technical camera problems they create (especially with cell phones), and my easy solution that fixes everything without editing. Whether you're a new Etsy seller or looking to increase Etsy sales, these photography tips work for any product - from jewelry to ceramics, prints to fabric arts. As a professional photographer with 14 years of experience and a successful Etsy shop with page one rankings, I'm revealing the same techniques I've taught 300+ students to convert browsers into buyers.

👋 About Rebecca 👋
I’ve been a self-employed creative since 2010. If it wasn't for patient mentors, there's no way I would have survived that first year of entrepreneurship, let alone the following decade+. You don’t have to do this on your own. I know firsthand that making a living from the things we make is challenging. But with the right support network, it is possible.
