The Top 5 Financial Mistakes Made by Sellers & How to Fix Them

Hola friend! I’ve been helping Etsy sellers and creative entrepreneurs get their finances in gear since 2015. So I’ve been around the block a few times. Today, I’d like to briefly walk through the top five financial mistakes I see Etsy shop owners making.

Before I dive in, let me say there’s no shame in setting up your shop without fully crossing all the “T”s or dotting all the “i”s. Of course that’s the goal, but we’re human. We get so excited about our new venture, making sales, and creating pretty things. We start out with the best intentions, but it’s easy to get distracted, side tracked, or discouraged.

I’m not about scare tactics here, so we’ll review the mistake, take a deep breath, and then talk about how to avoid them (or fix them if you’re already there!). If you find yourself on this list, no worries. There’s almost always time to rectify your mistakes and get your shop legit. A good place to start is with this free checklist.
