• Transformational Choice:  In April of 2022, Jenn made the pivotal decision to step away from her role as a head product designer at a health tech startup.

EPISODE DETAILS:

New Etsy sellers struggle every day wondering why they’re not making sales faster. More often than not—their niche is too broad. They’re trying to do too many things and compete in enormous oceans of competition. My guest today, Jenn Atkins, is sharing her early found success on Etsy by niching down and committing to the camping niche where there were opportunities to break out.

Everbee is a FREE tool that can help you find trends, products, and niches that are hot sellers on Etsy right now. I use it to learn everything about best-sellers and high performing listings. It shows me how many sales a shop makes from each listing, how much money an individual listing is earning them, how old the listing is, what their tags are and how competitive they are. It gives me an at a glance view of all the shop data and competitor listing data I need to help my students and myself find ways to penetrate the market.

Here is a quick Youtube tutorial showing you how I use it: https://youtu.be/4SUdnatddMU
