Etsy jumped 10 percent in extended trading Monday after reporting fourth-quarter earnings that beat expectations.

"By making Etsy a great destination for holiday shopping, we delivered strong fourth-quarter results to end an excellent year," CEO Josh Silverman said in a statement."We kept our focus on improving search and discovery, building trust in the marketplace, expanding our marketing channels, and investing in services that fuel our sellers' success."

Revenue for the fourth quarter grew 46.8 percent from the year-ago period, bolstered by surging marketplace revenue. Services revenue, though growing at a slower rate, still posted a 42 percent year-over-year gain. The number of active sellers at the end of the quarter was up almost 10 percent from the end of 2017, and the number of active buyers was up almost 20 percent.

Etsy has a brilliant business model. You pay them to post your product to sell on their platform, then they charge you to advertise on their platform; they know your income, and take all your profits in advertising; you work for them.

Business always use to work on new ideas. New ideas begets new businesses. For business the first need is idea and capital is the secondary. If a person is going to start a business without a full planned idea, what will happen to his money it is easy for everyone to understand.
