    I help Etsy sellers who feel completely lost on what to sell, pick a profitable niche and build a product line that can actually scale. I start by showing you how to choose a niche you're passionate about (so you don't burn out chasing random trends), then walk through real demand and product research using Etsy Marketplace Insights plus tools like Alura, EverBee, and eRank.

    You'll see how I filter down to high-demand products, test niches the smart way, and use a "1,000 product" mindset to avoid dead-end ideas. Then I take a dog portrait example and turn that single idea into an entire product line with breed-specific SEO, style variations, and strategic pricing tiers that signal to the Etsy algorithm you're the go-to shop in your niche.

    By the end, you'll know how to:

    – Choose a niche based on passion and demand

    – Use Etsy Insights and third-party tools to validate product ideas

    – Avoid "yard sale" shops by committing to one focused niche

    – Turn one idea into dozens of profitable listings with variations and bundles

    – Leverage the 80/20 rule to double down on winners and expand into new niches (like cats and full pet art brands)

    If you want feedback, strategy support, and hands-on help implementing this, I also invite you into my Etsy Games VIP community where we dig into your shop, niche, and product line together.

    Here's my last-minute Etsy holiday prep game plan to squeeze the most sales out of the season—without burning out. I cover fee-saving links, conversion boosters, inventory failsafes, deadline messaging, and fast ways to handle 2–3× order spikes.

    What you'll learn:

    • Save 4% on fees with Share & Save links (and where to update them across socials and bios)

    • Simple listing video ideas that stop the scroll and lift conversions (no logo intros)

    • Smart supply stocking, gift-wrap upsells, and packaging that earns repeat buyers

    • POD/physical inventory accuracy checks that prevent out-of-stock headaches

    • Policy/FAQ refreshes + holiday banners/feature images that match buyer intent

    • USPS deadline strategy with your buffer dates and where to post them (banner, photos, bulk edits)

    • Batch your life: preschedule posts, canned replies, push notifications for instant DMs

    • Handling a surge: pricing, processing-time tweaks, and shipping-window extensions

    • Create holiday bundles/sets and use seasonal long-tail keywords for discovery

    • Bonus growth moves: holiday shop sections, duplicate best sellers with seasonal SEO, personalization, run sales/free shipping, add coupon + review ask on packing slips

  • Niche or Trends? The Etsy Strategy That Changes EVERYTHING
    Nov 10 2025

    Grow faster than 99% of Etsy shops 👇

    Steal my $540K shortcut & skip the struggle 👇

    👉 https://www.skool.com/etsygamesvip/about

    I'm breaking down one of the biggest struggles Etsy sellers face — choosing between building a niche shop or chasing trends. I share the real differences, the pros and cons, and the long-term impact on your business so you can stop guessing and start growing with clarity.

    I explain why niche strategy creates sustainability, consistency, and repeat buyers — and why trend-chasing creates burnout, stress, and short-lived wins. I also walk through how to blend both strategies the smart way, so you get steady evergreen income while still capturing seasonal and timely spikes in traffic.

    Here's what I cover:

    • Niche clarity and why it brings better long-term results

    • Trend chasing pitfalls and why most sellers burn out

    • Sustainability vs. speed — which actually grows faster

    • How to incorporate trends without losing your shop's flow

    • Smart ways to blend niches + trends for double the opportunity

    • How to avoid trademark issues when using pop culture

    • Why passion matters when choosing your shop direction

    • Building a cohesive shop instead of a "yard sale look"

    I keep it real and strategic with practical, easy-to-follow guidance you can implement today.

    Oct 30 2025

    I'm breaking down Etsy's brand-new international pricing tool—and what every non-U.S. seller needs to know before it impacts your profit margins. If you sell to U.S. buyers, tariffs and duty fees can eat away at your income fast, but this update changes the game. I'll walk you through exactly where to find the new toggle, how to set prices correctly, and which third-party tools like Zonos can help you calculate and offset extra costs.

    You'll also learn how to:

    • Avoid losing money to hidden fees and tariffs

    • Use Zonos.com to calculate duties and taxes before setting prices

    • Handle returns and exchanges the smart way under new fee rules

    • Protect your margins and ship confidently to U.S. buyers

    • Use delivery-duty-paid providers like DHL or UPS for compliance

    • Keep your Etsy shop competitive even as costs rise

    Stick around until the end—I'll share how to connect with my Etsy Games VIP community, where sellers get personal coaching, motivation, and insider updates to grow faster with less stress.

  • The Etsy CEO Just QUIT — What It Means for Sellers in 2025
    Oct 29 2025

    Etsy's stock just dropped — and I'm breaking down exactly what that means for sellers like us. 🚨 This isn't just another market headline — it's a major shift that could shape your shop's future.

    Here's what's really going on:

    • A new CEO is stepping in to replace Josh Silverman after 8 years of mixed reactions from sellers.

    • Etsy's active buyers and sellers are down, showing warning signs across the marketplace.

    • Other big players like Amazon and eBay are seeing similar trends — so this isn't just an Etsy problem.

    • I'll cover 3 key actions every seller needs to take right now to stay competitive and protect revenue:

      1️⃣ Stand out in a shrinking market.

      2️⃣ Lean into personalization and storytelling.

      3️⃣ Rework pricing using psychological triggers like price anchoring.

    I'll also share why Etsy's push toward AI and distinct inventory could actually be a massive opportunity — if you adapt your shop strategy fast.
