What I learned in my first year of selling my art on Etsy

Around January of 2024 I decided to put my primary focus for selling my art into Etsy based on the fact that I had no social media following or fan base to provide sales, apart from my Pinterest, which at the time had less than 10,000 monthly views. Etsy is a huge marketplace that has a lot of pros and cons. Despite these known cons, I decided to try my hand at it in January of 2024 and it has happily resulted in over 250 sales,84 reviews averaging 4.8 stars in my first year on Etsy. Here are my top 17 tips for opening your own shop on Etsy.
