I Heart Homemade
One of my favorite shows this morning had one of my new favorite companies featured on it. CBS Sunday this morning looked at homemade and handmade goods with Etsy and founder, Rob Kalin. I’ve talked about Etsy to my students–in that no matter what your profession is, your dayjob, or whatever you choose to do, you can always have options to do more. Etsy is such a platform to do so. If you have profession X, but love to make a certain kind of widget by hand, to support your artsy/creative side, you can do BOTH! Being entrepreneurial and creative isn’t an all or nothing deal. You don’t have to leave your dayjob in order to start selling something, or become entrpreneurial. And that is my favorite thing about Etsy.
I’m sure it doesn’t hurt that they also sold around $88M in goods on line last year either…
