While you don't have to make it a full-time pursuit, just imagine the things you can do with a little extra cash. Your reclaimed wood furniture could fund a trip to the other side of the world or beef up your savings account.

If you do decide to monetize your creativity, Etsy is the site for the job and this Launch Your Etsy Store training can help you get started for just $19.99.

Composed of three courses, this online master class will hand you the resources you need to build a profit-generating creative business. Here's a quick preview:

Build an Etsy Storefront that Sells with Lisa Jacobs

Taught by renowned marketing guru Lisa Jacobs, this course revolves around teaching you how to optimize your Etsy business' storefront so you can attract more customers. You'll learn how to showcase your products effectively and the many ways you can turn visitors into buyers. Plus, you'll also discover common Etsy mistakes and how to avoid them.

Etsy 101: Launch Your Handmade Shop with Marlo Miyashiro

Setting up an Etsy store involves more than creating an account and uploading your product photos. In this course, spearheaded by industry veteran Marlo Miyashiro, you'll learn everything there is to know about running an Etsy venture. From creating your shop to navigating the platform's interface to making listings and branding your store, it leaves no stone unturned when it comes to teaching you how to be successful on Etsy.

Marketing Your Etsy Shop for Sold-out Success with Lisa Jacobs

Lisa Jacobs also leads this marketing-centric class, which will fill you in on the marketing strategies needed to get your brand the exposure it deserves. You'll learn how to promote your product in a way that will entice people to buy, as well as the process of creating a business plan that guarantees solid results.

When bought separately, the courses in this bundle will set you back $127, but for a limited time, you can get them all on sale for only $19.99.
