About Hannah:

Hannah is a 7 figure Etsy and Shopify seller with experience on Amazon and Wayfair as well. She started in ecommerce in 2018 and has been documenting her journey on YouTube ever since. From sleeping on her grandma’s couch to save money to invest in her startup—to getting banned on Etsy for 9 months and almost losing everything—to getting it all back and rebuilding—Hannah has learned A LOT about the online business landscape. She was able to make an exit from her first brand and take all her newfound knowledge to start a new venture in the tech space—where she’s now helping to solve a huge pain point she had in her own business: real time profit tracking for an Etsy shop. Nothing excites her more than helping the movers and shakers of the world achieve their ideal dream version of success. She aims to do just that with her new tool to give sellers the actionable insights they need to grow and scale successful businesses.

EPISODE SUMMARY:  

In this episode of "How to Sell Your Stuff on Etsy," I'm thrilled to welcome back the brilliant Hannah Gardner, a seven-figure Etsy and Shopify seller with extensive experience in e-commerce. We dive deep into the often controversial topic of Etsy ads, exploring their potential benefits and the common fears surrounding them.

We kick off the episode by discussing the upcoming live AI coloring page workshop and a beginner workshop designed for those just starting their Etsy journey. I emphasize the importance of having a solid foundation before diving into ads, especially for new sellers who may not yet have proven products.

Hannah shares her journey from struggling to find success in e-commerce to becoming a successful seller and entrepreneur. She highlights the importance of understanding the online business landscape and how she overcame challenges, including a nine-month ban from Etsy. Her insights into the world of ads are invaluable, as she explains why many sellers are hesitant to invest in them.

We discuss the common misconceptions about Etsy ads, particularly the fear of losing money. Hannah emphasizes that ads should be viewed as an investment rather than a gamble. She explains the importance of having proven listings before turning on ads and how to approach budgeting for ad spend. We explore the concept of "thresholds" for ad investment, helping listeners understand when to turn ads on or off based on their performance.

Throughout the episode, we touch on key metrics like profit margins and return on ad spend (ROAS), and how they impact decision-making for Etsy sellers. Hannah introduces her new tool, ProfitTree, which provides real-time profit tracking and actionable insights for Etsy sellers, making it easier to understand their numbers and optimize their ads.

As we wrap up, I encourage listeners to take advantage of the resources we discuss, including Hannah's free Etsy ads masterclass and the lifetime offer for ProfitTree. This episode is packed with practical advice and insights that can help Etsy sellers at any stage of their journey, whether they're just starting out or looking to scale their existing shops. Join us for this enlightening conversation that aims to demystify Etsy ads and empower you to take your business to the next level!
