Let's Talk Etsy

Want a sample of what I am creating? Keep reading!

My first thought of a job to do from home- Let's talk Etsy.  Have you heard of Etsy? Who has not? I am pretty sure so many of you have heard of Etsy, shopped on Etsy, or bought something from Etsy. Etsy is something I like to browse through, similar to Pinterest, but I can actually buy the product and I love it! Plus, going through Etsy, you are supporting small shops or someone with a small dream of earning extra money (enter my smile here)!

Now, I have played with a few things on Etsy for a few years, and decided, now is the time to take the plunge and see what happens. Knowing how Etsy works, I know that this will take me a few months to really get a good idea of how everything works. But, I also know my personality and I don't like to fail and I like things to work quickly and easily. This can cause some extra stress, right? How am I going to handle this? How would you handle this? One way I have approached this is positive self talk. When I thought about positive self talk, I thought, Hey I have a whole board on Pinterest for quotes I love, like and live by. Could I possibly use this for my Etsy shop? And, that is how I started. 

Many tools that I have used to start this adventure is YouTube and the very honest TikTok (HA). I have found so many sites that has helped guide me to get started, but honestly have also made me more overwhelmed. I have had to take baby steps and not try to tackle the whole thing at one time. I have made a list and I am slowly making my way through the list until (hopefully) this all starts rolling. 

I started making a few different prints and AI art prints to have available in my shop. I seem to be getting views, but no purchases, yet. I also get a ton of messages about helping me with marketing. I am thankful for some that are reaching out, but like I said this is a side hobby I am trying to build. I don't want to dump a ton of money right now, when the goal is to make money. Will I have to eventually? Most likely! 

In conclusion, I am trying to build this adventure. I am trying to enjoy this adventure and not just turn to teaching materials like I am good at making.  I need to think and reach outside of the box. I need to be brave and take a risk. I see many people making an Etsy shop a great side job. They are making money and doing well. This could be a great option for you if you are wanting to try something from home and you have a great idea! So, give it a chance, research and see if Etsy could be right for you!
