How would you like to quit your current job and then work from home and make $140,000 a year doing it? Yokoo Gibran did it, thanks to Etsy. But here’s the kicker, you can’t. Even if you tried to make enough to cover the cost of a cup of coffee by selling on Etsy or Ebay or a host of other sites the results would be the same. You would fail miserably. Think about it for a second. If everyone were capable of running a successful online store to the point that it would allow them to quit their current job then why are we all still working for someone else? Do you see my point? Probably not.
When I first read about Ms. Gibran in The New York Times and saw how successful she had become with her Etsy store I was like most of you, I was stunned. I was envious. I was all set to go and launch my own store on Etsy. And then reality set in. Success stories like Ms. Gibran are due to a lot of hard work and a little luck and if you don’t believe me then go and read the article yourself. When you are done then I think that you’ll be able to see just why you would fail at trying to replicate her success. Or I could just tell you. You’re lazy.
Come on, you already knew the answer. Do you really think that someone could make $140,000 that easy? Anywho, I’m done here.
