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 am thrilled to welcome my dear friend Hannah, the founder of Profit Tree, a powerful tool designed to help Etsy sellers make data-driven decisions. As a passionate advocate for entrepreneurship, I love empowering individuals to connect with their calling and overcome obstacles in their business journeys.

We kick off the episode by discussing the importance of making database decisions when launching and growing an Etsy shop. I emphasize the necessity of tools like Profit Tree, which provides insights into market trends, sales data, and profit tracking, especially for those in the handmade space. Hannah shares her journey from being a seven-figure Etsy and Shopify seller to creating Profit Tree, highlighting the challenges she faced, including a nine-month ban from Etsy and the lessons learned along the way.

Hannah explains the latest features of Profit Tree, including the new "High Demand, Low Competition" button that allows users to identify trending products with proven demand. This feature is designed to help sellers validate their ideas before launching, ultimately reducing the time it takes to achieve that "aha moment" when they start making regular sales. We also discuss the significance of incorporating trends into product designs and how to balance trend-based listings with original ideas.

As we dive deeper, Hannah shares insights into the different membership levels of Profit Tree, including the lifetime plan, which is perfect for beginners, and the growth and pro plans that cater to more advanced sellers. These plans offer features like competitor tracking, shop sales comparisons, and advanced profit tracking, which are essential for scaling a successful Etsy business.

Throughout our conversation, we emphasize the importance of community and collaboration in entrepreneurship. We acknowledge that the landscape of e-commerce is constantly evolving, and staying informed and connected is crucial for success.

Join us for this engaging and informative episode as we explore the tools and strategies that can help you thrive on Etsy, no matter where you are in your entrepreneurial journey. Whether you're just starting out or looking to scale your shop, there's something valuable for everyone in this discussion.
