Today, we are going to learn how to know exactly what our profit is. This is by knowing the different fees that Etsy has. 

I'm not going to lie, I make a little sales pitch in here. So if you want to skip that stuff go ahead and jump to about 7 minutes in 

But, for your refference. Here is what Etsy takes 

1. .20 listing fee

2. 6.5% off total money earned. 

3. 3% plus .25 everytime someone runs their card. 

If you are stuck with the Etsy offsite ads, then you have another 12%-15% coming out! 

You need to crunch these numbers for your own shop that way you know your profit from every sale and avoid some tax mistakes! 

There are some old school ways of thinking when it comes to Etsy. This can lead to some weird theories or misleading "facts" 

Today, we are going to talk about how entrepreneurs take on these types of challenges and how you can use logic in your shop. 

**Note** Today is the LAST day for the SEO course -
