Time/week spent: 5h - 20h

Initially, more time was spent on setting up the shop, creating listings, and learning about SEO and marketing strategies. Over time, the focus shifted to fulfilling orders, customer service, and occasional marketing efforts. The time commitment varied depending on the number of orders and promotional activities. Many online sellers report spending more time upfront and less as processes become streamlined. Some sellers spend more time than average if they handle custom orders or have a high volume of sales. Online communities often discuss the variability in time commitment based on product type and sales volume.
