    I'm revealing the top Etsy niches to dominate in 2026 and beyond, based on real buyer demand, long-term sustainability trends, and niches with a naturally high barrier to entry that keep competition low.

    My focus is on niches with strong customer demand, long runway, and profit potential, even for sellers who want to start fresh or pivot into a more sustainable business model.

    Here's exactly what I cover:

    • What makes a niche profitable in 2026

    Demand indicators, long-term sustainability signs, and how barrier-to-entry affects competition.

    • The 8 best Etsy niches to start or pivot into

    I break down equipment needs, skill requirements, market trends, pros, cons, and why each niche is exploding.

    • Why 3D printing is becoming one of Etsy's biggest goldmines

    High demand, low saturation, incredible product variety, and how AI + CAD is speeding up product development.

    • Laser cutting & engraving trends

    Why personalized acrylic/wood products are booming and what 2026's "layered 3D art" trend means for sellers.

    • The woodworking resurgence

    Why buyers are rejecting cheap imports and paying premium prices for small-batch craftsmanship.

    • High-end apparel & embroidery micro-brands

    Why embroidered apparel is outperforming POD and how digitizing skills unlock high-margin income.

    • Polymer clay & resin for pros

    The rise of hyper-realistic minis, mixed-media pieces, and personalized micro-creations.

    • Metal stamping & silversmithing

    Why meaningful heirloom-style jewelry is booming and how real craftsmanship outperforms mass-produced goods.

    • High-complexity digital products

    How digital files tied to the "maker economy" (3D printable files, laser SVGs, embroidery files) are exploding.

    • Scented products & clean branding

    Why clean-ingredient candles/soaps with high-end branding still sell—and why they're hard to get right.

    If you're planning to start a new Etsy shop, pivot your niche, or scale a more profitable model… this breakdown gives you the clearest look at where Etsy is going in 2026.

    I'm walking through the exact three Etsy Traffic Pillars that determine how fast your shop grows and how many sales you make. These pillars—Marketing, Listings, and Money—control nearly every outcome in your Etsy business. Once you understand which lever to pull (and when), you can finally create consistent traffic instead of guessing.

    Here's what I cover inside:

    • Why traffic is the #1 bottleneck for Etsy sellers

    • The three Traffic Pillars and how they actually work

    • Inside-Etsy vs. outside-Etsy traffic sources

    • How to use listings strategically instead of randomly

    • How to follow "breadcrumbs" from your best sellers

    • How seasonal and holiday listings boost traffic without becoming a trend-only shop

    • The fastest way to test SEO using AB listings

    • How to expand your niche through smart sub-niches

    • When to use money—ads, offsite ads, equipment—to increase traffic

    • How to decide whether you need more TIME or more MONEY to grow faster

    These are the same levers I've used to grow my Etsy shop past $500,000+ in sales, and they work whether you're brand new or scaling.

    I'm sharing a brand-new Etsy shipping update that finally makes it easier for UK sellers to ship confidently to U.S. buyers. This change removes surprise customs fees, reduces disputes, and opens a much bigger buyer pool — just in time for the holiday rush.

    Here's what I cover:

    • The major shipping upgrade Etsy just released for UK sellers

    • How Royal Mail Duties Paid works inside Etsy

    • Why U.S. buyers won't get surprise customs charges anymore

    • How this update helps reduce delivery issues and disputes

    • What sellers still need to watch out for (fees, pricing, handling charges)

    • How to use Etsy's new U.S.-only pricing feature to protect your margins

    • Why this makes selling to the U.S. more realistic during the holidays

    • What to expect moving forward with tariffs and international fees

    This update is a big deal for Etsy UK sellers who have avoided shipping to the U.S. because of customs headaches. Now you can expand your market and keep things running smoothly with much fewer surprises.

  • Etsy Search Issue & Fix!?

    Here's the link to submit a help ticket to Etsy: https://help.etsy.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?segment=selling&ticket_form_id=360000108008#issue_sell_manage_listings

    I'm diving into the ongoing Etsy search visibility glitch that's causing listings to disappear from search entirely. Sellers are seeing their traffic drop to zero overnight, their exact-match titles not showing up at all, and their shop analytics collapsing with no clear explanation from Etsy. I walk through what's happening, why this glitch is spreading, how sellers are testing their listings, and the urgent steps you need to take to escalate this to Etsy before it damages your shop long-term.

    You'll also hear updates straight from Etsy forums, what moderators and engineers are saying, and the temporary fixes some sellers are experimenting with—like vacation mode—along with why you should be cautious. I also share the direct help-desk link so you can skip the confusing menu and submit a proper case with screenshots in minutes.

    What I cover:

    • What the "total search invisibility" glitch looks like

    • Why exact-match searches aren't showing listings

    • What Etsy moderators and engineers have acknowledged so far

    • Why submitting a help ticket is absolutely critical

    • How mass escalation speeds up Etsy's internal response

    • Temporary fixes some sellers are trying (and why to be careful)

    • How to track updates and report back if Etsy responds to your case

    If you're being hit by this glitch, you're not alone. The faster we escalate it, the faster Etsy fixes it—and the sooner your traffic can recover.

    Sellers everywhere are suddenly seeing their Etsy traffic collapse—and many are realizing their listings have gone completely invisible in Etsy search. I'm walking through what's actually happening, how to check if your listings were affected, why this glitch is impacting sellers differently, and what actions are safe (and unsafe) to take right now.

    I wrap up by sharing how I'm helping sellers protect their shops, grow long-term traffic, and stay motivated—even when Etsy throws a curveball.

    • How to check if your listings were hit (exact-match method)

    • What Etsy moderators have officially said so far

    • Why this is NOT a de-indexing issue

  • Do More Etsy Listings Equal More Sales? (This WILL Surprise You)
    Nov 17 2025

    Grow faster than 99% of Etsy shops 👇

    Steal my $550K shortcut & skip the struggle 👇

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

    I get asked this all the time as an Etsy coach: do more listings actually equal more sales—or are you just burning yourself out uploading random products? In this episode, I walk through real shop examples, my own $550K+ shop data, and the five big factors that actually move the needle for your sales.

    Here's what I cover step-by-step:

    • The real relationship between listing count and sales

    I share how many listings my best-performing shop has, when sales really took off, and why the number alone doesn't guarantee results.

    • Real Etsy shop examples (high and low listing counts)

    I pull up multiple pet-related shops—from 1,000+ listings to under 20—and show how some shops crush it with tons of listings while others win big with just a handful.

    • High barrier vs low barrier products

    I explain why more specialized, complex, or equipment-heavy products can win with fewer listings, and why low-barrier niches (like POD shirts and mugs) usually need more listings plus stronger differentiation.

    • Random listings vs serving a clear target market

    I use a simple "road" visual to show how scattered, unrelated listings confuse the algorithm and your buyers—versus building product lines that all serve the same ideal customer and feed each other traffic.

    • Passion vs chasing quick money

    I talk honestly about why shops built only for fast cash usually quit, and how caring about your niche gives you the stamina to push through slow seasons and competition.

    • The Ultimate Etsy Traffic Challenge & app

    I walk through my 28-day Etsy traffic challenge inside Etsy Games VIP, including the app I built that gives you daily tasks, tracks your points, and rewards you for consistent action.

    • Throwing mud vs strategy with your listings

    I show why "I just need 100 listings" is a trap, and how to use your data to decide which listings to create next instead of randomly uploading whatever's on your list.

    • Improving vs staying stuck in the status quo

    I wrap up with a mindset shift: how to constantly improve your photos, descriptions, and product lines, and how to outwork and out-iterate your competition over time.

    If you're stuck at "I have listings but no sales," this episode will help you understand what's actually missing and how to build a smarter, more strategic Etsy shop that grows long term.

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

    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.
