Etsy offers a more unique, personal experience for both seller and buyer.
Sell on Etsy and build your brand there first, then extend into the other platforms to develop multiple streams of income.
Create a memorable shop to build your brand + stand out in a saturated market with many stores selling similar products.
Build out your shop and branding completely to make it clear you are in business.
Develop a clear, targeted niche so you don’t confuse your target audience (if you sell to everyone, you sell to no one) and keep yourself focused.
No matter what you make, can you create an associated digital product? Etsy allows digital products as well and it's a great way to increase your income.
Use the official Etsy Seller's Handbook - it's packed with helpful tips and information.
