M.L.
I have an etsy store and it's a great idea if you have good ideas, but you have to work extremely hard to make it successful. I have over 1000 sales and it's totally slow right now, for example, the last few Decembers, I would get about 20+ sales a week... now I'm lucky if I get 4! I used to do craft fairs, but haven't lately.
One thing I do is balloons and face painting on the weekends. It's easy to learn, but you do have to leave at night or on weekends.
Anyways, here is where I started with the balloons:

and my websites:

Oh yeah, I blog as well with over 1000 subscribers and 600 followers and I've only made about $100 a year. Some people do make a lot of money, but they usually have to blog for a good year or two and create a following before they can start to charge higher advertising rates. It's also something that you have to dedicate a lot of time too.
