Pros to Selling on Etsy



 
 
Happy Monday!
 
Since I opened my Etsy shop 'FivePlumsDesigns' this past summer, I have gained so much in terms of marketing, manufacturing, as well as small business and entrepreneurial experience! I want to share with you today the benefits to selling your products on Etsy - and there are many!
 
(1) Constant Sales: An amazing thing about selling online is that you never have to be personally present. Sales happen while your life still keeps going, whether you are at class, work, or wherever!
 
(2) Low Fees: By comparison to any other sales venue, Etsy is very inexpensive, seeing as Etsy allows you to keep so much of what you earn - which is great!
 
(3) Broad Audience: When selling on Etsy, you get to experience targeted traffic. People that visit Etsy's website are already interested in crafty, hand-made goods. All you have to do is have your items listed and ready!
 
(4) Well-Known Site: For a site that only houses specific products, Etsy has a rather large following - with a whopping 15 million + members, and all those members could potentially be viewing your product!
 
 
If you have been pondering starting an Etsy shop, I highly encourage it! Take the plunge! The most important piece of advice is simply to do your research first. After you have the dirty work finished you can enjoy the incredibly fun things involved in running your own business!
