This varies a lot because not all shop owners take their Etsy shop as seriously as others. Some sellers may start to turn a profit after just a few months, while others may not reach this milestone for over a year. If you're serious about making money from Etsy, then it pays to do research and experiment with different strategies. You will also have to continue learning and evolving with the platform. Once you start to see some sales, then getting these to grow won't be as hard.
