hello im a young adult and ive been wanting to sell/make money but i stink at everything and i have autism which makes things harder for me. etsy looks so cool, but they seem really overcrowed how are you even suppose to stand out on etsy?

ive know a few people who tried selling on etsy but they all failed and im afraid i might also fail, also etsy costs money to post on. are there alternatives or is etsy the best, also do you have any tips or something you would like to share about etsy?

also are there better places to post this at?

    You may want to try the Facebook app or their webpage in your browser.

    I doubt you suck at everything.

    You could look into things like reselling stuff from Ali Express. A FreeMCBoot memory card for the PS2 costs about $2.50 but you could probably resell it for $10 to someone locally who doesn’t want to wait on shipping. It obviously depends on the demand so I wouldn’t put all your eggs in one basket.

    Maybe buying electronics from Facebook marketplace and cleaning them to resell.

    Maybe you could do something with clothing? Tie dye perhaps? Maybe even just sewing on some cool patches you find online.

    It all really depends on what your interests are.
