What's up everyone, welcome back to another episode of the Rock Your Brand podcast.

And today I am fired up because well, we are going to be talking about something that

we get asked quite often and something that we've been toying with ourselves and we've

also had experience with this and that is selling on Etsy versus selling on Shopify.

and well, Chris, let's kind of get into this thing and let's kind of dig in.

the common questions but also the pros and the cons.

I'm hoping that we can help you with that as well as everybody that's listening to this one with

us live but to obviously on the podcast in the future hanging out on YouTube or in the Facebook

group over at brandcreators.com forward slash group. It's got for me, this, this is not

necessarily an either or thing and I think the way that both you and I think about this is that

these really are two separate things entirely but the way that they're typically talked about in

like the print on demand or online business community is that they are an interchangeable thing

kind of like what we talked about a few weeks ago, the Amazon versus Etsy debate and there are

a lot of things that you can, that you need to consider when you're looking at Shopify versus Etsy
