The holiday season is so great as the sales are rolling in.  But what we want to avoid is a big seasonal dip in sales every year in January.  So here are 3 things you can do to avoid that.

Hello and welcome to episode 36 of the handmade shop podcast.  Today I’m doing an episode based on a goal I achieved on Etsy in the last few weeks.  I hit the top 3,000 shops worldwide in November.  And in honor of that I’m sharing the top lessons I’ve learned from achieving this goal.

This is a super common question that I get from lots of sellers.  And lots of times I’m getting this question from sellers when it’s too late.  Sellers who have lost a lot of money on ads without even realizing it.  So today we’re going to clear this question up.  Do Etsy ads work?

The short answer is it depends.  Listen to the full episode to learn more.

If you want to learn more about this, I invite you to join us in my JumpStart training.  You’re going to learn how to get a sale from your social media in the next 7 days and there’s a really fun bonus that helps you figure out if you’re ready for Etsy ads and how to start them if you are.  Join us here.

The episode today is going to be half rant and half advice because as we get into a really busy time of year, I've seen this advice popping up more and more often and I want to make sure that we address this right now.

It is never okay to price yourself so you're not making a profit.  This advice actually makes me angry.  The premise was this, when you're just starting off it's okay to price low and make no profit so you can get your first couple of sales. The idea is that you have a low price to stand out against your competition who has reviews and stuff like that to back them up.

But I hate this so much. You can stand out above your competition on Etsy in other ways. You can get sales from Etsy traffic and from your social media traffic without competing on price.  Listen to the episode to learn more.

If you want to learn more about my pricing strategy, I invite you to join me in my free masterclass at dailyetsysales.com
