How I Did over $945,000 My First Calendar Year on ETSY

_____________________

_______________________________

In this video I am going over why my store had the success it did in my first calendar year. After starting the store in September of 2019 from Jan 1 to Dec 31 of 2020 we did hit over 945k in revenue NOT Profit.

This video is for beginners just starting out or Etsy store owners looking to get some insight on how to increase revenue. This is the first of many Etsy value videos I will be making, I have been super nervous about making this transition on to youtube full time, but I know my bigger purpose is helping other aspiring entrepreneurs.

Please check out all my other e-commerce videos as well :]

I really hope this adds value to you and your online store journey!

MY E-COMMERCE TOOLS:

Tip! When you send a little card that ask for a review. Add a QR code to make it that much easier for the customer to add a review. This concept aligns with a “customer journey map” this will help the efficiency on your business.

I would like to have the same experience as her. Not much about the money but the satisfaction of building something by yourself and having success by doing it. This is so foreign to me.

For the regular people who don’t have YouTube channels. Patience is key, just because you don’t make a million your first year doesn’t mean you will never get there. You can do it too.

I have watched and listened to so many hours of etsy selling content and you were able to condense an incredible amount of information and succinctly relay it to your audience. You blew me away. I have a bachelor's in communication and listening to you is like taking a good course. Seriously, great work!

Girl!! The way that I am AMAZED right now!! I stopped watching videos like these Bc everyone basically said the same cliche cookie cutter things (find your audience, research things they like, set appropriate prices blah blah blah)
I am actually walking away with valuable information that I can take action on RIGHT NOW! The part about the SKUs is about to be a whole GAMECHANGER! I never even understood that I could duplicate listings and use that as another A/B testing opportunity! Girl, I’m so so happy I clicked on this today thank you SO MUCH for offering a wealth of information without asking for an electricity bill upfront!! I’m so grateful for you sharing all this good stuff! 😭🙏🏾

Thanks for clarifying profit and revenue out of the gate. Not everyone does that. Refreshing transparency.

[SherinataPollock]

WOW - the secret vault has opened. This is the first video I ever heard that did not repeat the same dull information over and over again. I can't wait to try these secret tips to boost my sales. Thank you sooo much for finding your courage to share your Etsy success because you are brilliant! I can't wait to listen to more videos!

[onehungrywolf]

This is a success story and no mistake; having said that, your timing was 👌. People went NUTS with spending during the pandemic, so opening a store at that time was genius. I'm here so I'm hopeful this kind of success can happen for others even with interest rates so high. Thank you for your post and tips!
Edit: watched the whole video and felt compelled to thank you again. Your approach is business-minded, organized, professional and sincere all at once, in addition to being practical and actionable.

Just now seeing this, but still totally valid. Lots of transparency here. As a POD professional (myself), I didn't see a mention of a course being sold here. So organic. So genuine. Of course, not knocking courses, people need them! I just like that you focused on the meaty stuff. People have real ideas of "what to ask for / what to look for" when building their store because of this! Salut.

This video changed my life I was stressing about trying to get my first 200 listings and your idea to duplicate is amazing! The only thing I see you suggested I wouldn’t do is to respond to the negative review because it will lock that review and the customer can’t change it. You want to give your customer a chance to change the negative review to a more positive review. I would say if the customer just refuses to change then respond to the actual review.

[MyrnaDeJesus]

I must say, I am impressed! The information you share is very in depth, you are so much more comprehensive with your tutorial than anyone else I've seen that does this type of educational content. Bravo! And you have a non-condescending way of speaking....yay!

[everyexcel]

As I've been trying to really grow my Etsy store I've been watching a ton of videos on how to bring traffic and revenue. This is by far the best one I've seen by far! Thanks for the everbee suggestion!

[mrobrazprints]

Wow, huge congrats on your incredible success! It's absolutely amazing to see you opening a shop at such a perfect time. Your hard work and visionary mindset have truly paid off. I'm genuinely thrilled to witness your dreams becoming a reality. Here's to an abundance of prosperity and a flourishing business in your future. Cheers to the bright path ahead of you!

[staceyhawley]

Oh and congratulations to a great starting year! You've obviously put in a lot of hard work! But I also think that your your desire and effort to teach others what you have learned along the way is a prime example of the old saying, "you get back what you give" Thank you for being so willing to share your talents and knowledge... It's like a breath of fresh air

[lauriemyers]

As a buyer, I personally hate duplicated SKU’s because it requires me a sh*t ton of time comparing descriptions to make sure I’m getting what I want

[G.G.GG]

I've watched a lot of How I Aced Etsy videos but this is the best. Straightforward, no hype, no embellishments. Thank you, I am inspired to try again.

I think the star seller badge is--or has become--important. When I'm looking for a specific product on Etsy, my preference is to search within the star seller shops. I know the item I ordered will be exactly as described, and it will arrive within the specified timeframe. In the rare instance that there is a glitch, the shop owner will *always* respond to a question within 24 hours. A couple of other tips that will encourage a customer like me to return to your shop are: (1) package items well for safe shipping; (2) *always* include a small thank-you note; and (3) offer a discount to encourage repeat purchases.

[TrishTruitt]

I love how you connect the dots for doing the basics and how they can yield results far and beyond basic. All really good advice.

[SwanPrncss]

I want to say thank-you so much for being to the point at the very beginning and transparent in saying you earned that in revenue, and it's not profit. So many videos advertise how they're a million dollar business, but in reality that's not their profit.

Wow this is so cool to see! Thats my etsy shop! I invented the custom slowfeeder dog bowl and I can definitely say marketing was easy in the beginning because there was nothing else like it on the market!
