5 Things About Etsy I wish I knew

5 Things I Wish I Knew About Selling on Etsy Before I Started

Posted on March 14, 2019June 14, 2020 by Stacy Verdick Case

Selling on Etsy can be quite daunting and hindsight certainly is 20/20 vision.  That’s the benefit of looking back is you can see all the things you didn’t know.  I literally knew nothing about selling on Etsy when I started.

I was under the delusional impression that I would figure out everything I would need to know as I went along. Not surprisingly, I also believed that what I didn’t know wouldn’t hurt me.

Well, I was right about figuring it out as I went along. With every stumble and set back I learned. Some of the lessons were hard.

But I was so wrong about it wouldn’t hurt me.  I imagine I lost out on a lot of sales because of what I didn’t know.  If you’re starting on Etsy let me help you get a leg up straight out of the gate.
