Etsy’s latest algorithm changes have shaken the handmade and art community — and if your shop views or sales have dropped, you’re not alone. 

In this episode, Kaylie dives into what’s really happening behind the scenes with Etsy’s new “AI algorithm” and why relying on a single platform is riskier than ever.

She breaks down how to protect your creative income when marketplaces move the goalposts and shares practical strategies to diversify your sales without burning out.

Inside this episode, you’ll learn:
 🎯 What Etsy’s AI search updates actually mean for your shop
 🛍️ Alternative platforms worth exploring (Zazzle, GoImagine, Shopify, PayHip & more)
 🎨 Print-on-demand options for artists and handmade sellers
 📧 How to market your work off-platform using Pinterest, email, and social storytelling
 🌿 Why building your own website gives you long-term stability and control

This isn’t about ditching Etsy — it’s about building resilience, protecting your creativity, and taking back control of how and where you sell.
