An Etsy shop is a wonderful way to test the market for your handcrafted items. One wonderful thing about opening an Etsy shop is that you can make it as big or as small as you want to. You could start part time and then move to full time if there is a large demand for your products, or you could keep it as a sideline that provides you with a little extra income from selling things that you make in your spare time for fun. Either way, Etsy continues to grow in popularity and it is exciting to know that your handcrafted products can reach a global audience.
If it seems like there is an app for everything, there is. Well, almost everything.

The market for apps has seen steady growth for a while now and there are no signs of it slowing down any time soon.
Food is always in demand, and there is no shortage of home – based businesses that can be started with a great recipe or two.
