EPISODE SUMMARY:
As I record this on Christmas Eve, I want to extend my heartfelt wishes for a Merry Christmas to those celebrating, while also acknowledging those who may not find this time joyful. I want you to know that you are valued and supported.
As we approach the New Year, I can feel the excitement for 2026 and the incredible opportunities it holds for us. In this episode, I dive into an FAQ format, addressing some of your burning questions while sharing valuable insights to help you thrive in your Etsy journey.
I kick things off with exciting news about Profit Tree, an essential research tool for Etsy sellers. The in-demand badge is back, and now it includes tags for every listing, making it easier for you to understand market demand and optimize your listings. I share a success story of a new Etsy seller, Trista, who turned her financial situation around by leveraging research and tools like Profit Tree.
Next, I introduce the upcoming "Scaling Society," a monthly membership designed for serious Etsy sellers who want to work closely with me and access a wealth of resources, including trend spotting, templates, and coaching. This initiative aims to provide a clear path for your growth as an Etsy seller, helping you navigate your journey effectively.
Throughout the episode, I answer various questions from listeners, including what a "no-brainer listing" is, the value of different research tools like Insight Factory, and strategies for building an email list. I also discuss pricing strategies for digital products, the importance of creating cohesive listings, and how to approach intellectual property concerns when using quotes or designs.
As we wrap up, I emphasize the importance of persistence and creativity in your Etsy business. Whether you're just starting or looking to scale, remember that success comes from understanding your market, optimizing your listings, and continuously improving your craft. Join me as we embark on this exciting journey together, and let's make 2026 our best year yet!
