The Dark Side of Etsy: Nightmare Stories and Hidden Dangers for Artists

Empowered Artist - Sell Art Online with Jenna Webb

Are you an artist considering selling your work on Etsy?
In this episode, I explore the pros and cons of using Etsy as a platform for professional artists. I share my personal experience and explain why I never signed up for Etsy myself.

🔑 I’ve never signed up for Etsy because I value living as an independent full-time artist. If you feel the same, I recommend signing up for Artpreneur Academy through my ➡ Free Masterclass, Secrets of a 6-Figure Artpreneur before wasting your time on 3rd party websites like Etsy where you have no control.

There are drawbacks of using Etsy, including forced promotions, an overcrowded market, and the risk of sudden shop shutdowns.

On the flip side, I also highlight the quick start, niche products, and no website needed as pros for artists using Etsy.

Tune in to learn more about the realities of selling on Etsy and explore alternative options for artists.
