Shownotes

When you first start to join the world of selling online – or if you’ve been at it for a while – it can be really confusing and a bit daunting on which platform to use to sell your products.

Do you go for third-party platforms like Etsy or Made it? Do you go for the big guys like Amazon and Ebay? Or should you get your own website and sell from there?

We discuss the different platforms available for selling your products online, the pros and cons of each, the questions you need to answer before choosing the right platform to suit your business now, and into the future – and we also let you know our favourite platform and why we love it so much.
