Etsy is an online marketplace where people can buy and sell handmade goods. Through Etsy's virtual storefront, anyone can become an entrepreneur by adding their products and sending them to buyers in other places. Etsy is home to many niche categories of goods, which both allows buyers with specialized interests access to specialized products and artists who create these specialized products access to these customers. Etsy is also a great option for small business owners as it broadens their customer base to online buyers who would otherwise be inaccessible.
