We have so many legitimate ways of making money being it online or offline. Do you have passion for crafting? If you do, selling handmade products on Etsy can be a great way to make money if you have a passion for crafting. Here are some guidelines to help you succeed on Etsy:

Choose your niche: Decide on the type of handmade products you want to sell. It could be jewelry, clothing, home decor, or any other craft that you're good at. Choose something you enjoy making, the one you're good at and that has a good market on Etsy.

Create high-quality products: Make sure your products are of high quality and are made with care. Customers on Etsy are looking for unique, high-quality items that they can't find elsewhere. Use high-quality materials and pay attention to detail. Using high-quality products will attract more buyers because they value quality than quantity.

Price your products fairly: Research similar products on Etsy to get an idea of what price range your products should be in. Consider the cost of materials, your time, and shipping costs when pricing your items. Also pricing your products will help you know your best rate and selling them out with profit even if it's less.

Take quality product photos: People are always moved with what they see in their eyes. Take clear, well-lit photos that show off your product from different angles. Use a simple, neutral background and natural lighting for the best results.

Write compelling product descriptions: Use descriptive language to explain what your product is and how it's made. Be honest about your materials, size, and any customization options.

Offer excellent customer service: Respond to customer inquiries and orders promptly and professionally. Offer customizations and special requests whenever possible, and make sure your customers are satisfied with their purchases.

Promote your shop: Use social media and other marketing channels to promote your Etsy shop. Use relevant hashtags and keywords to make it easy for customers to find you.

Yes it's a good idea, and selling handmade products is a very profitable business,why I say this,is because, handmade product sellers have greater control over the production process and can easily make changes or adjustments to their products as needed. This can be especially important for small business owners who need to adapt to changing market trends or customer preferences.
Handmade products are often created using sustainable materials and production methods, which can appeal to customers who are environmentally conscious.
Selling them on Etsy and promoting the business will bring more customers,I learned a lot from you thread.

Etsy is presently one of the best platforms some people can use to make some good amount of money for themselves on the internet selling handmade products.

There are some countries where it is quite very popular and there are some where it is not so popular. If you want to sell products on this platform you should focus on making quality products that a lot of people would want to buy.

There is no need for you to make a product and at the end of the day so many people will not be interested in it. You will end up making a lot of losses.

First and foremost, you will have to check whether etsy allows people in your location to sell. If it does not support sellers from your country, there is no way you can use it. Second important thin is you need to verify your payment, i.e. bank account. If you cannot verify your bank, you cannot start selling. If you are eligible to sell, etsy can be one of the best platforms to sell online and make money. You can sell physical as well as digital products
