Own Your Store
E-Commerce training for grassroots makers
Get your website store set up for you.
Then get trained to maintain it yourself.
You’re a grassroots maker. But a corporation owns your channel.
Over the past year, Etsy has used aggressive AI tech to take down small stores.
Stores making tea blends. Stores selling vintage coats.
Many stores have been closed in error, but the appeals process is tough.
If you don’t own your own store with a domain name, you’re always at risk of the whims of corporate policy.
No matter how necessary, how beautiful, or how urgent your work is - if you don’t own the tech, someone else can decide to take your work down.
