I'm breaking down one of the biggest struggles Etsy sellers face — choosing between building a niche shop or chasing trends. I share the real differences, the pros and cons, and the long-term impact on your business so you can stop guessing and start growing with clarity.

I explain why niche strategy creates sustainability, consistency, and repeat buyers — and why trend-chasing creates burnout, stress, and short-lived wins. I also walk through how to blend both strategies the smart way, so you get steady evergreen income while still capturing seasonal and timely spikes in traffic.

Here's what I cover:

• Niche clarity and why it brings better long-term results

• Trend chasing pitfalls and why most sellers burn out

• Sustainability vs. speed — which actually grows faster

• How to incorporate trends without losing your shop's flow

• Smart ways to blend niches + trends for double the opportunity

• How to avoid trademark issues when using pop culture

• Why passion matters when choosing your shop direction

• Building a cohesive shop instead of a "yard sale look"

I keep it real and strategic with practical, easy-to-follow guidance you can implement today.
