I have an ETSY Store Owner question…

Now quick backstory, in 2023 when I opened my ETSY Store my focus was on “adding content” but now with content added, in 2024, I want to focus on “marketing”.

Ok, before coming to Reddit for direction, I have joined a few Facebook Groups SUPPOSEDLY “Support Group” that I was looking for help with my ETSY Store.

But once I started asking for help in the best way to market my store, everyone wants me to PAY to help me “optimize” my store.

Can I not get any advice on marketing and/or optimizing my store, for free? I don’t mind putting in the work into improving my store, but I opened my ETSY Store to MAKE money, not to SPEND money. I have enough bills as it is, I don’t need another bill, so anyone wants to help me?

Thanks
