Is Etsy Over? {304}

You may have heard people say things like… “Etsy is oversaturated, I’ll never get seen.” “Etsy is full of resellers now, I can’t compete.” “Etsy doesn’t care about its sellers.” “Etsy is horrible for reasons a, b, c, d…” And so on. Basically – there’s a lot of chatter about whether Etsy is still worth trying in 2023. If you’ve thought about starting a handmade business, you’ve probably asked yourself ‘should I sell on Etsy’ (or, perhaps – should I KEEP selling on Etsy)? Today, I’m going to answer that question – or, more accurately, I’m going to help YOU answer this question for yourself. If you’re ready to sell your handmade goods online, but you need help getting started, I hope you join me on April 24th for Set Up Shop. It’s my 30-day intensive course that will teach you a fool-proof system to set up an online shop for your handmade goods, and get it right – first time.
