Question by Rambler Gambler is Tired: How easy is it to make money on Etsy?
I’m thinking about beginning to sell some things on Etsy but I was wondering what the likelihood is of selling products, and if my account will get lost in all of the other accounts? If Etsy is a viable way to make money, I was wondering how I could capitalize on my Etsy usage?

It depends on what you sell and how much time you’re willing to put into it. Etsy is oversaturated with jewelry, so as a jewelry seller, I don’t make a lot of money. It’s a good way to get your name out there and have an online presence when people don’t want to go where you’re selling stuff (markets and boutiques and such).

A great site (if you’re willing to put the time in) is:

It’s also really important to love what you do and to realize that you have to start somewhere. It will start slow, but eventually your business will build and improve!
