My new Etsy store!

I have always wanted to have my own shop selling whatever i like. Unfortunately, i do not have enough capital nor time to make it happen. Opening a business is not as easy as it looks. Apart from a huge capital investment, one needs to devote time and effort to ensure that the business is running smoothly. I have seen those making lots of money from their business and also seen those that are not as successful. A lot of factors need to be taken into consideration, which also determine the success of the business.

Being in the age of technology, i do like the idea of opening a virtual shop online where one can sell almost anything that they like with minimum cost. Having a full time job means that i have limited time to spend. So the idea of online store seems to really suit my needs.

I stumbled across Etsy's website in a true coincidence. Being an ardent fan of DIY and handmade stuff, Etsy provide the perfect place for me to sell my own creation. Unlike other similar sites, that chargeable for opening an online store, Etsy's store is totally free of charge. Even for listing an item will cost minimal. It is a perfect place for people who wants to make some money from their handmade things.

I have just started my store a few days ago, the response seems good. Listed a few items mainly crochet pattern for sale in my store. I will design more patterns and will be adding more and more in future.

Those who wanted to visit my store, can do so at www.skymagenta.etsy.com.

Happy Selling!
