Notes from Chris
Episode 1596
From time to time we talk about different website platforms including Wordpress.com, Squarespace, and Wix among others. There’s also Shopify, which specializes in eCommerce. Today’s listener has a question about one that is made by Etsy. She’s had her own shop for a while and wants to branch out—what’s the best way to do that? Disclaimer: almost all of these companies have sponsored Side Hustle School in the past. They’re all good options!"Hi, Chris, this is Bethany from Canberra, Australia. I've been listening to the show for the last four years. I love the daily updates and the tips you have for people starting a side hustle. I've just opened an Etsy shop, monogramming blankets, throws and scarves. I would like to have my own website too. Etsy offers a website platform called Pattern.
