I hate to be that annnoying person...
But I'm new to this and REALLY want to buckle down for success!!!
But I guess I need someone to tell me HOW to be successful...

I had no idea how much to charge for shipping, what I could be doing better, I still have things I'm going to be adding in the next few weeks...

I'm super excited about this but, naturally, I would love to actually SELL what I make lol....

Thanks in advance for your time, and I'm hoping to make some friends <3

hi, i am rather new also. let me tell you what i have learned so far. there are standard box sizes and if you use those youll have better pricing. there is also a calculate it for me option on your etsy page. shipping is expensive and My first sale I lost all my profit because shipping to hawaii or alaska or any international costs a ton. I hope this helps a little bit.
