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.

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.

Not sticking with your  plan is a huge mistakes that I see a lot of sellers making.  Bouncing around from strategy to strategy hoping that what you pick next is going to be *The Plan* that throws you to your goals.

You make a plan, get really excited about it, and then decide to do something else in a few days or a few weeks because you think the first plan isn’t working.  Or you get bored.  Or you hear about something new that some other seller is doing and seeing success with.  And you think maybe that is the magic solution to getting successful on Etsy.

So you change the plan and come up with something new that you're excited about but you're not going to stick to that strategy either.  For all of the same reasons you didn’t stick with the last strategy.

Maybe you're expecting results too quickly, maybe you are getting bored for some reason, maybe you just aren't prioritizing your business in the best way that you could.   but those problems are going to continue to follow you from plan to plan until you get your strategy down.

So today I'm going to give you a few tips and tricks to making a plan you love and sticking with it so you can actually see results in your Etsy business.

Today I want to talk about something that holds a lot of sellers back.

And that’s perfectionism.

My motto is done is better than perfect.  Here’s why.

I have 18000 sales on Etsy at this time.  And my shop still isn’t perfect.  I look at my stuff and can pick dozens of things that I need to change or fix or improve.  If I would have waited until everything was perfect or even just closer to perfect to launch my shop I would be months, if not years, behind where I’m at right now in my business.

And this doesn’t just apply to starting your Etsy shop.  Listen to the full episode to learn more.

I recently took a poll on my instagram, and more than 90% of you that follow me there experience burnout in your business.

I definitely have periods in my business when I’m feeling burnt out.  For me it looks like neglecting my social media and email list, working way too long and late, doing a lot of time wasting activities like checking email 100 times a day.  Which nobody needs to be doing.  When what I’m really doing is procrastinating on other tasks that I should be doing.

So today I want to talk about how to avoid burnout in your business.  So both you and your business are as healthy as possible.

We’re going to work on planning ahead, staying healthy, asking for help, and your mindset.  Listen to the full episode to learn more!
