If your Etsy shop feels slow, confusing, or like your sales are happening by accident…

This is your sign to stop guessing.

I’m running Listathon, a free live challenge for handmade business owners who want their Etsy listings to actually do their job.

Inside the challenge, I’ll show you how to look at your listings properly, spot what’s holding them back, and fix the foundations that help buyers find, trust, and buy from you.

Not by making more products.

Not by panic-posting on Instagram.

And not by working yourself into a tiny business gremlin with a label printer.

We’re fixing the things already sitting in your shop.

Your titles.

Your photos.

Your structure.

The bits that turn browsers into buyers.

So by the end, you’re not just hoping Etsy suddenly wakes up and blesses you with sales.

You’ll know what needs fixing, why it matters, and what to do next.

Listathon starts Monday 15th June.

It’s live, it’s free, and spots are open now at handmadebosses.com/listathonweek.

💙 I loved recording this episode with Pash. 

⚡️ Join me as I interview Pash about her transition from a highly regulated scientific marine biology career to running her own handmade ocean-themed glass art business, 'Ocean Fusions' on Etsy. 

💬 Pash discusses her nearly 30-year career, her experience with breast cancer and how it led her to discover glass fusing. As well as discovering a new species of fish 🐠  

🌊 She shares her passion for the ocean, the creative process of glass fusing, the challenges she faced, and the role of the Handmade Business Support Academy (HBSA) in helping her focus and grow her business.
