Etsy is getting a lot of popularity as time goes, and recognition. Yes, people sometimes make a copy of your stuff, but if you are a unique item you can make people not be able to reproduce to find, especially if you're one-of-a-kind materials or other materials. There are hundreds of stitch markers are available, for example, but one species will notice about a particular person. As ofirst answerer said, patterns a good way to make money as long as you are able to write good instructions. Etsy is probably not the place to sell items and make a ton millions, but if you have a blog or other places where you can add your name, you can draw in some additional revenue. Do not be afraid to try it!
