Basically, it is not going to be easy and probably more work than fun; that is, not worth it... this, too, is "anything you can do, I can do better" thing.
Now, there are a couple of things to remember here.
1) there is no time limit (except the 500 days)
2) it's just 1000 dollars. After that I can forget all about it.
3) it just needs to be done, not perfect, not successful, not anything but done
Because to be SUCCESSFUL at Etsy, you need to put in effort, and I am not interested in putting the effort in becoming successful at Etsy.

10 Real Tips For Successfully Selling On Etsy
How One Crafty Mom Earns $70,000 a Month on Etsy
By having people making the stuff she sells.
"Not all the items are entirely handmade by Shaffer’s team—many, like the knitted legwarmers, socks, and gloves, are sourced wholesale from India."
I mean... if someone sells 1000 handknit items in a month... she isn't knitting them herself, that's for sure. Let's say it takes 3 hours to knit a headband. You can knit 3-4 every day, considering that you have to do other things as well, like sleep and eat. That means you can produce 150 things in a month, if you do nothing but that... and this seller says she spends 14-18 hours SELLING - not knitting, but doing the paperwork, working on the internet, filling in orders and packaging and posting things. Which means that she knits NOTHING.
Which means that she isn't a "crafty mom". She is a seller.
Now, if she makes 70.000 a month and has a knitter collective, that would give a good salary for 25 people. 25 people can easily produce over 2000 things, all handmade, for real, in a month.
Hmm... I know five people who could be in my artisan collective.

So... what will I sell? What is easiest for me to do?
I can start selling junk journals and recycled journals and albums, and I can even offer free shipping from Sweden to all over the world with the prices people are paying for these things.
