So you want to start an Etsy shop, but you're not sure where to begin. I'm here to help! I opened my Etsy shop on February 28, 2016. I had no guidance whatsoever, so I had no clue what I was doing. I just knew that I wanted to sell my paintings. I searched all over Google, read so many articles, surfed the Etsy forums, and joined several Facebook groups for Etsy sellers. I fully immersed myself into the Etsy world. By June 2016, I had sold most of my paintings and started offering my vinyl creations and typography prints
