Why use Etsy/ your own domain?

[Guywithsoap?]

Hello,

I have been reading many of the threads here and there has been lots of helpful information.

One thing I noticed was that many of you have sites where you sell your soap.

I was wondering why someone would choose to have their own site as opposed to a page on Etsy.

I saw great self hosted sites and also very nice product displays on the various etsy sites.

Thanks.

I use etsy because my unique customer base frequents etsy so all of the work of bringing traffic in, has already been done for me.
