Day 3: Create Your Etsy Store
The first thing you need to do for this one is set up an online store. You probably want a platform that provides the most resources (preferably for free), allowing you to do your thing without too much hassle. The Etsy community is huge, so there’s no need to drive traffic. As soon as a store enters that stream, you’re good to go. Furthermore, Etsy processes all store payments for you.
