If you've been thinking about selling digital products on Etsy, this video might change your mind. I know a lot of you following me want to start an Etsy shop and it's awesome that you want to start a business, but before you start that shop, I want you to watch this video and think about some things.

Starting an Etsy shop isn't for everyone. In this video, I talk about who should start an Etsy shop, the cons of starting an Etsy shop selling digital products, what you need to be successful selling on Etsy, and my recommendations for alternatives.

At the end of the day, I don't want to see people starting an Etsy shop or any other kind of business just because other people are doing it or you're seeing a lot of videos about it on Youtube.

Starting a business is a long-term process that requires some conscious decision-making and evaluation of what your skills actually are, what you can actually create that's unique, and what you're interested in.

I hope this video gives you some perspective on how you can build a business for the long term.
