What kind of business do you run?

[Butters]

For those who run a business:

• What kind of business? 
• How long? 
• Is it full-time? 

I'll start: I sell clothing (mostly t-shirts, merch) online, mainly on Amazon, shopify and Etsy. This is my third year full time. I have no staff (solopreneur).

@Butters Do you make designs yourself? And how much do you earn my doing that?

I make the designs myself but with basic photoshop skills. I have a subscription to creativefabrica, vexels and a few other sites where I find elements that can be used for Print-on-Demand. I usually alter them a little to fit the niche I'm making them for. 

Last year I made around €30k but my goal this year is €100k profit. It's rather seasonal, big sales around Christmas. 

I feel I haven't taken it seriously enough until recently and I'm confident I can scale. I went full time from the very beginning cause I got lucky with masks in early 2020, they were selling like hotcakes on Etsy. Wouldn't recommend that, probably start as a side hustle. Plenty of videos on yt on how to sell on etsy but it's really just about starting. Print on demand is super hot right now.
