Read previewThis as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with 26-year-old Francisco Rivera, an Etsy seller from Orlando.
I manage an Etsy store that made $403,499 last year after Etsy's fees and postage costs.
Since starting the store, I've moved out of my parent's house and started renting a studio in Orlando.
That's when I realized my Etsy store could replace my income from teaching.
Quitting my job was scary, but I knew that even if this particular shop failed, I could set up another store on Etsy.
