I have been here 3 years

And while I have been through ups and downs and countless Etsy changes.. I nonetheless wouldn't have my own business today if it wasn't for Etsy.

Anyone else feel like this?

lol. guess not
Haven't been here long, but so far I am enjoying it and hope to one day be doing very well
I opened my Etsy shop 11 months ago because I'm retiring next year and I wanted to build a business to supplement my income after I retire. This week I made more in my Etsy shop than I do teaching after 32 years. Yes, I LOVE ETSY!
Yes, definitely.

Etsy helped me get the courage to put myself out there, and now I sell here as well as in boutiques. Who would have thought. :-)
Hi all,
Glad I am not the only one who feels this way. I know it's easy to get discouraged, but before this site I had to go to a real job. lol Now I can stay home with my 3 and 5 year-olds
Let me edit that .

"REAL job"... This is my real job

I meant boring ...office... job
Ditto!
Country Rich Creations would not be AS successful as it is, without Etsy. Some think we did it backwards. We had our own website and local following. But Etsy allows us to reach so many more people. We divert all of our visitor from our web site, to our Etsy shop. Makes it easier on us :-)
6 months on Etsy, almost 300 sale. Very happy with Etsy!!
Couldn't agree with you more, Danielle. It has been and still is an experience, that people from all around the world, can appreciate handmade items..I am impressed with this every time I get an order. So if it wasn't for my husband, Etsy would not have been a part of my business life. I thank them both =)
