What You Will Learn?

  • Starting an Etsy business is a great way to start your own online business..
  • In this class, we will give a complete guide for beginners on how to build your own Etsy shop.  Including:.
  • Throughout the class I cover things that you will need answers to before you even take the first step towards creating an Etsy business. I want to be very clear, this is NOT a get rich quick scheme. My results are not typical and it took years to get to where I am today. I went through a lot of failed attempts along the way just like everyone else. Please do not think you can watch a class and instantly quit your day job. That's not how it works..
  • By the end of the class, you'll have a solid foundation in place and be ready to start up your own Etsy shop.  --------Who Am I?My name is Will, I'm an online entrepreneur who lives in Canada.  In my former life I was a financial advisor, but was horrible at my job.  I couldn't stand it.  I always knew I wanted to start my own business.  So back in 2005 I started working part time, my first online business, which led to me quitting my day job.  I've been proudly working for myself at home online since 2007.  I am unique in that I practice what I preach and I think you'll see that in my teaching.--------Other Useful Links:.
