Soooo... I’ve been thinking (which is a worry in of itself) about starting a shop on Etsy but I have no idea where to start, whether I should just yet cause I don’t want to get all these stickers, pins etc. made and it all goes to waste😅😅😅😅
Please help😖😅

I’d say def do a lot of research before starting your own small business. It’s a lot of fun making stuff, but there’s also a huge admin side to it. Marketing, taxes, processing/shipping out orders, etc.

But if you think you are ready and have the time, then I say yes :D
First of all-get that thought about you thinking being bad out of your head. It’s a wonderful idea. Even if you’re playing around, give yourself more credit! Second, I’m doing the same thing and learning too, why not calibrate? Like, don’t buy a lot of everything, if you can buy one of each or by a small amount of 1 (like a sticker or pin). Make sure you have your prices lined up, a way to be paid, a way to ship them out, etc. also make sure you have something in writing so you can’t and won’t be sued. People are sneaky sometimes
