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?
Reselling stuff gets a bit wishywashy ethically and it can be super stressful to invest in an inventory and then have to resell to get your money back (+profits). Do you have a special interest? Mine is plants so I do gardening, forestry, forestry, and horticulture jobs. I’m not great with people because I have a hard time with facial expressions and tones but it’s mostly independent, just me and plants
I have an interst in video games, and anyhting that seems unique and intersting.
I’m not sure how your area is, but CRT TV’s are starting to gain popularity for retro gaming and they’re all over the sides of the roads in some places, especially right after Christmas. They generally just need a fuse replaced to work, which is a really simple and cheap issue to solve. I dunno the logistics of shipping those monsters, but if you sell locally it probably wouldn’t be an issue.
you make some good points, i might look into trying to find some old tvs or salvaging tech or something.
