I am looking into starting and Esty shop to sell some bracelets and I need some advice on the following things:
Shipping
Advertising
What patterns to make
How much I should sell each bracelet for
If there are any rules on how old you have to be to start a shop
And what it costs to post an item
Thanks in advance! 😄

It’s 20 cents per listing

I would post your bracelets at a price that makes sense for the amount of time it took. Like 7 dollars an hour + materials. i would also look at Alex's vid "Etsy crash course" and "reviewing Etsy shops".

So I would advertise on every social platform you could have: tiktok, here, pinterest, insta, etc. It costs 20 cents per listing to put up and additional feeds are put up so I would not charge below 4/5$ for anything so you can make a little per item (:

When taking photos, make sure that you have a good background. And make sure that the background goes with the bracelet itself. Happy knotting and selling!

I am making an Etsy shop at the moment but here are some tips

1. Take nice picture with a calm background so the bracelet is more noticeable
2. Make the bracelets more expensive if it takes you all day or longer
3. Make more complicated bracelets with a more aesthetically pleasing look
4. Take your time and make it as good as you can undo even the tiniest mistakes that you would usually let slide

Most importantly HAVE FUN!! (and don't force yourself against your will to run this business, and if you need a brake to catch up then don't be afraid to! Good luck!!!!

Also if you go into a craft store and buy some string each thing of string is going to cost you what like 59 cents, and if you are using 2 colors then you should put 2 dollars to the side to buy those same colors if you run out of them!
