I am definitely creating a bracelet business and I'm stuck on what website I should sell it on.I really like Instagram because I know my way around the app and it's free to sign up. I also like Etsy but I've never really bought anything on Etsy. Can you give me some suggestions? thanks 💘 |

No you don't have to pay but you do need to pay 20 cents per listing and you need to be 13 or above to have an account and sell! So you could have your legal guardian sell for you!

Etsy is the most reliable if you’re selling anything crafty or homemade because they already have a trusted reputation. Plus people can scam you through Instagram so you have to be careful. Etsy does take a fair amount of fees though but in my opinion it’s worth it because they already have a loyal customer base

Also Alex’s Innovations has a really helpful Etsy crash course video on her YouTube

@amwatson I think I might make an etsy shop and use Instagram to show off my bracelets and promote my shop in a way I guess 👍

That sounds like a really good idea. I’m planning on doing the same in a few months. It’s easier to build a following on Instagram and then direct them towards your Etsy

@amwatson Yeah I was thinking of making my shop on instagram but I don't feel very safe selling my bracelets on Instagram now.

Hi, be careful when setting up an etsy if you do. Many teens/kids set up their own etsy shop without knowledge of Etsy's minor rules. Which would affect you (and it would affect me if I had one but I don't) anyways personally I would never sell on etsy because of it's minor policies but if they don't bother you and you can abide by them then etsy might be a good option for you. And just a warning if you break the rules on there you can have your account suspended and closed.

@2006_Mandy oh ok! I might either sell on instagram or etsy but have my account managed by my parents.

Yeah, just put one of your parents details in the account and you’ll be fine, you can still operate it but it’ll just be in their name
