I want to apologize for not be as active on here as I usually am, I have been dealing with somethings regarding my Etsy shop.
But first things first, I want to announce that I am officially a college graduate🎓 I am college graduate with my own small business, it doesn’t even sound real to say, but it’s true. Thank you to everyone who has continued to support me throughout my college career❤️
& now to get to the not-so-good update about my shop. I have recently been getting hit left and right with copyright infringements from items on my shop which results in Etsy taking down my listing completely (Basically I can’t sell/make money when they take a listing down) This is honestly very frustrating because I have spent a lot of my own time & money on the products on my shop. I am losing out on $$ when they decide to randomly copy strike products that have been up on my shop for months now.
I am not really sure what I am planning on doing next, but I am considering moving my shop over to a different platform, but the only bad thing is I don’t think I’ll get as much attraction that Etsy allows me to get on a different platform. Right now I’m stuck on what to do, I want to continue doing what I love, but it makes it difficult when these things keep happening. I hope you all understand, and know I am not abandoning my shop or business, I am just stepping away for a little while to figure out what my next steps should be regarding my small business.
