26 Strategies I Use to Help Etsy Sellers Succeed 

In this podcast episode, I shared the key strategies that I’ve seen top 1% Etsy sellers use to grow their shops and dominate the platform. These aren’t about luck—they’re actionable steps that can help any seller move closer to their goals.

I started by talking about how important mindset and passion are. Success on Etsy isn’t instant—it takes time, consistency, and a genuine love for what you do to push through challenges and keep going. I also emphasized the importance of treating your shop like a business. Showing up consistently, investing in tools like Alura and Canva, and building solid habits are essential to long-term success.

Education plays a big role, too. I encourage sellers to continuously learn, whether through free resources like my Etsy Games platform or by investing in courses. Every action in your shop should have a strategy and purpose. I always tell people to focus on what they can control and not waste energy on things like algorithm changes.

Consistency is another big factor. Regularly creating and improving listings not only helps you grow but also keeps you in tune with your niche and audience. And let’s not forget visuals—high-quality photos and videos can make or break a sale, so it’s worth investing in good lighting and staging.

Understanding profit margins, running promotions, and offering stellar customer service are all part of the equation, too. Reviews build trust, so I shared tips on how to get more of them. I also talked about the importance of taking action—learning by doing is the fastest way to grow.

Finally, I discussed the power of email marketing and standing out from the competition. Building a list and nurturing it with valuable content can drive repeat buyers, and finding ways to add value to your niche will set you apart.

This episode was packed with actionable tips to help Etsy sellers succeed. If you’re ready to grow your shop, these 26 strategies are your blueprint to joining the top 1% of sellers.
