10 Years, 3 Etsy Shops, 36 Lessons I Wish I Knew Sooner

Описание: If you’re thinking about starting an Etsy shop (or wondering why your existing shop feels stuck), this video is for you.

I’ve been selling my handmade work on Etsy for over a decade across three different shops – brain art prints, risograph goodies, sewing patterns, and even a secret digital-product shop I’ve never really talked about until now. I’ve gone through burnout, big revenue years, flopped experiments, and everything in between… and I wrote down 36+ honest lessons I wish I’d known sooner.

In this video I share what actually matters when you’re selling on Etsy as a handmade artist in 2025/2026 – not just cute packaging and “manifesting sales,” but real talk about money, burnout, and building something that can actually support your life.
