@theonline.artist: I started Etsy when I was 17, it was a cute hobby and then eventually it helped me helpe my mom with paying the bills and I spent so much time on my work and packaging and making products, it eventually helped me save and pay for my degree!! I’m now 25 and work in corporate, but this part of my life never left my brain, always thought about it. I was doing well on Etsy and having success and one day it just shut down and everything was gone. I didn’t know what to do or how to recover, I didn’t have a backup plan. I closed my social media’s and gave up and just went on with my life. But I have always loved this ‘hobby’ and I love what I could do for some people and the stories I got told and the reviews. When Etsy shut me done all my sales and reviews and customers went too. I’m trying to rebuild it but this time as a brand and on my own website, it’s currently in need of help which I’m working on but please support my journey. #smallbusinesscheck #smallbusinessuk #drawings #portraitart #etsysmallbusiness
