The “Easy Success” myth.

These gurus often say that selling on Etsy is easy.

They’ll tell you that anyone can do it and that results come fast.

Enough.

Just use common sense.

If it were that easy, wouldn’t everyone be successful?

Selling on Etsy is tough because of all the competition.

However, it becomes easy once you learn how to stand out against it.

Just opening a shop and listing items isn’t enough.

There are many other steps behind all of it.

To be honest, success on Etsy means…

  • hard work
  • lot of designing
  • little of luck
