A student who dropped out of university to start her own business is now making six-figures a year having launched - and then closed - an Etsy shop. Olivia Crabtree, 21, started her business on Etsy, with just enough money to make a single product - and was only planning on making enough to pay for food.
She said: "I was a full-time student at the University of York, and I had no money. So I started an Etsy business selling handmade gifts aiming to earn £40 a week to pay for my food shop."
Within three months, Olivia was earning a full-time income from her Esty store. After four months, Olivia decided to make the life-changing decision to drop out of university and pursue her business full-time.
