       Yo if anybody needs help setting up their own online stores instead of using #Etsy or others, I'd be happy to advise.I have a lot of experience w/ this type of stuff.I've been in digital marketing for 15+ years and have helped LOTS of indie creators get their businesses online.

       A quick answer for anyone who wants to pay little to nothing and get started ASAP:Check out AlternativeTo (link at bottom of toot).PrestaShop and WooCommerce (for WordPress) are both highly reputable OSS.But you can scroll down and browse the others. There's some promising stuff on this list I've never used before myself but I will be investigating.https://alternativeto.net/software/etsy/?license=opensource

       When you leave a marketplace like Etsy you lose the "findability" and other built-in marketing mechanisms of the platform.You'll have to build out your own marketing which is easier and not as gross as it sounds.Marketing is a bad word around here but the reality is we are all marketing ourselves all the time.Every time someone posts a link to their project, that's marketing.Every time someone asks for financial help, that's marketing.#GetFediHired that's marketing.
