how etsy changed my business

(and how it can change yours too)

Are you tired of feeling frustrated and stuck in your business?

I know exactly how you feel. Not too long ago, I was in the same position.

As a cancer scientist, I set out to build an online training company for cancer health professionals, but despite my initial success, I hit a wall that seemed impossible to overcome.

I was doing all the "right things"—creating freebies, blogging religiously, and trying to maintain a constant presence on social media. But despite my efforts, growth was painfully slow, and I felt like I was spinning my wheels with no real impact.

I was desperate for a change.

That's when everything came crashing down. I hit a breaking point, forcing me to reassess my approach. As I picked up the pieces and started to rebuild, a spark of inspiration ignited within me

I decided to start an Etsy shop. It was a bit of a segue from my usual and a bit of a leap of faith, but one that would prove to be a game changer.

This Etsy shop was to sell stitch markers for knitters. It was only going to be an experiment, to see if I could do it and perhaps make a little extra money for Christmas that year.

But I draaaaaaagged my feet over opening it up. I'd had my fingers burned and I didn't want to feel like that ever again. After a few months of procrastination, my daughter (who was 9 at the time) came downstairs one evening and declared, "Mummy! I've decided that tomorrow, you're going to open your Etsy shop!"

And so that weekend, on a crisp February morning, I busied myself creating products, taking photographs and building listings. By the Sunday evening, I had a full(ish) shop and was ready to start selling.

I didn't tell anyone (other than my immediate family) what I was doing. I didn't post on social media. I didn't build a website. I didn't blog, I didn't email anyone. None of the traditional promotion methods.

Within a few weeks, I'd made my first sale to a complete stranger. Then another. Then a few more. By June, I was beginning to make £300-400 a month extra and I was really only spending a few hours a week working on building and growing my store. I knew I was onto something, and I knew it was time to start taking it seriously.

Eventually, I figured out a system for making daily sales...

Through trial and error, countless hours of research, and an unwavering commitment to taking action, I developed a system that revolutionised my results.

I expanded my product offerings, including hand-painted watercolours, and dove deep into the intricacies of running a successful Etsy store.

I meticulously tracked my performance, exploring every avenue to unlock the secret to daily sales.

Now, I'm on a mission to share my knowledge and help others just like you.
