This is timely! I'm walking the same route as well. Albeit towards bespoke little furniture. How did you decide on Etsy?
1. Did you ever consider setting up your own e-commerce site - Shopify/WooCommerce/Snipcart?
2. Do you mind sharing what kind of CNC machine you use/like?
Cheers on those lovely door signs!
- dangrossman 7y agoI don't have any real social media presence with the kind of things I'm making now, so an e-commerce site of my own would be little different from putting up a tent to sell from in the middle of a desert. Etsy is a marketplace like eBay, which means there's already millions of people there searching for things to buy. Just by being there and knowing a bit about search optimization, they put my products in front of a couple hundred people a day, so I had sales coming in from nearly day one without advertising. My first machine is a Glowforge, which I've been running 6-12 hours a day since I bought it. Figured I'd start at hobby level equipment and work my way up.
