So, recently the US Tax Center of the IRS reached out to me. At first, I was worried too....
Before you jump to conclusions!
Just to let you know, I paid every penny of my personal and business taxes, so I am not in trouble or anything! They (the US Tax Center) love my Etsy shop, they do! I feel relieved too!
The reason why they contacted me was that they loved my Etsy shop and wanted me to share tips and my experience! I have so much to share with you all, but I am not a woman of words so that I will get straight to the point (this can quickly turn into an e-book, but I am not about that life right now).
So, Here are some things about starting an Etsy business or shop that I think everyone is is looking to start one should consider:
Tips:
-Shop for products and materials that are of great quality and price!
-Faster shipping is always better for the customer. People tend to appreciate 1-3 day shipping with tracking.
-Provide a tracking code wit your shipping products.
Obstacles:
-Acknowledging that time is needed, and everything cannot be perfect.
-People want what they want and not what you want them to want.
Benefit:
- I benefit by having more respect for an artist in business and small businesses.
-Learning and becoming a wise business person.
-I now can pay some bills too (critical).
If the above tips helped, you would defiantly love the infographic below. I'm a visual learner and can actually appreciate it.
