I'm seriously considering opening an Etsy shop to sell prints and stuff on. I could really use the extra cash right now. Question is, would anyone actually buy my stuff?
Creating an Etsy account isn't hard, its putting stuff on there that takes more effort. Well, I guess I wouldn't know, because I never actually put anything up on mine.
It depends on a few things, I suppose. I personally love your work and if the price wasn't outrageous than I would probably purchase something if I felt like I would hang it in my home.
I tried Etsy and it didn't work for me, but I didn't really market it or put my name out there. It's like a social network in itself and I didn't have the time to really sell my stuff. I also only put up a few pieces, and I think artists who offer a variety of works are much more successful.
Good luck to you if you do pursue Etsy, and its not really a major loss if you try and it doesn't work out for you. I spent like a dollar to find that it didn't work for me. If you post some prints I'll try and pick one up for sure.

Yeah, I really have nothing to lose, I suppose. I'll keep everyone updated on the matter! I'm sure I'll have a shop open on there very soon. ;D
