207. Is Handmade Sustainable?


Listen Later

Yet another side-eye glance at your endless to-do list, wondering if this Etsy hustle is worth your energy? You’re not alone and today, we’re talking about something that weighs on so many creative sellers: Can handmade truly be sustainable?

Spoiler: Yes, it can…if you stop trying to grow it unsustainably.

In this episode, we’re unpacking how you can build a sustainable handmade business around your life, not your anxiety. We’ll cover:

  • Why chasing constant growth hurts more than it helps

  • How Etsy’s inherent search-based model already supports sustainability

  • The power of “compound interest” in visibility, not chaotic hustle

  • How to make slow, meaningful growth possible with better decisions—and better pricing

And if you’re ready to grow a handmade business that lasts (without burning yourself out), I’ll share how to get hands-on support inside Etsy Visibility Accelerator. Open now through Thursday, August 22nd.
