When you have an Etsy shop, you wonder if you should open a stand along shop on a platform like Shopify or Wix. When you have a stand alone website you wonder if you should open an Etsy shop. When you're first starting out, you don't know which to pick. And if you're a creative services provider you might be wondering if this episode is even worth your time (it is). So which is it? Etsy? Your Own Shop? Or... should you have both?
This week I go over the pros and cons of Etsy, Shopify (and other stand alone platforms) and why I'm a big fan of multiple revenue streams and have both!
