I agree that Etsy is a good place to start selling arts and crafts. There's a built-in market and Etsy takes the hassle out of establishing an online storefront. Unfortunately, Etsy has gotten so big, sellers cannot rely on generic site traffic to make a living. Many sellers credit their participation in the Etsy forums for boosting their sales.
That said, establishing a local, word-of-mouth following does wonders too. Don't neglect local craft fairs, farmer's markets and even local art galleries. Once you get some sales, and possibly regular clients, you can point them and their friends to your professional Etsy storefront.
