Ive really been wanting to for quite some time now. Especially since I'll be staying home when my baby boy gets here. I personally don't know anyone who runs their own, so is there anyone on here who does? Who could give me any advice and answer any question I have. Please let me know! Thanks in advance!
Re: Anyone run an Etsy shop?
Before you start a business get legit. Look up local laws, file with your state to collect sales tax, get your fictitious name registered (can do online) and get a Federal ID Number (FEIN).
But I do buy things from there all the time.
Good luck out there.
I filed with my state to collect sales tax and use outright's online bookkeeping software to keep track of all expenses. I also hired an accountant this year to do our taxes, as I wanted to make sure I didn't miss anything! I agree that it's scary to get started, but it's worth a try!
Go for it @chelseajeanene. The things worth doing are often scary at first. Better to try and fail than to never try.
