What I've done so far

There are so many things to do to get ready for this crazy idea that my head spins. Here is what I've done so far: started a "freedom account", putting all the spare change, a small reimbursement check, and 25 dollars from my savings account in it. Grand total? 130 dollars and 82 cents. Obviously, more must be done. That is about 2 days on the road. I looked around and saw that I had much stuff. Much of the much stuff has been made by me. If I sell the stuff I've made, it will make money. Enter Etsy. That sounded so simple...just list what I've made and people send money. Not so fast. First, I have to make up an etsy name for my shop. That took a week of thought and finally, I came up with a rather pathetic name - "motley spotz" - a motley name if I do say so. But, I moved on. Next, I have to set up said shop which requires an avatar. I figure out what an avatar is and decide that a picture of the van we will travel in will be appropriate. I take the picture. Then, I take pictures of the things I want to sell. I get distracted halfway through and go to a thrift store. I buy a nice bit of yard art for six dollars. That was after I tried 3 different sets of batteries for the camera, gave up, and bought new ones. Now for photo editing, another skill I don't have. It took another week of fighting with the computer to get appropriately sized photos for above mentioned avatar plus the items for sale. I move on to listing an item. I've resized the 4 pictures that illustrate just one of the things I want to sell and need to describe this item. I go to where I left the item so I can measure it and it is gone. Suzie Tahini Salad Dressing (the name she chooses to be known by), my lovely partner, has cleaned house and my item is gone. I look in all the likely places and cannot find it and its the middle of the night so I can't ask her. So, I resize 4 more pictures of something I can find (eyeballs), measure, and finally I'm ready to post this ONE item. The first question it asks me is how do I want to be paid? Well, with money, of course. But that is not an option. Paypal is an option. But as I'm looking at this place to say I want paypal, it slowly dawns on me that paypal is a separate enterprise that I have to sign up for. Again, I exit etsy and this time, google paypal. There, I discover that there are myriad paypal options and decisions. I can't stand it. I go to bed. Its been two weeks and I still don't have anything listed on etsy.
