10 Reasons Why MOMS SHOULD SELL ON ETSY | Etsy Work From Home Mom | Stay at Home Mom Etsy

About this video

(Summarized from the Arabic caption track.) Dylan Jahraus introduces herself as a Navy officer’s wife and mother of two children aged 4 years and 11 months, saying she has sold on Etsy for 6 years and now makes $300,000 to $400,000 a year, per her claims. She recounts interviewing for nearly 11 months and rejecting a Petco job offer of $110,000 a year (versus $90,000 she earned in Seattle) after becoming pregnant, while her few-months-old Etsy shop was making about $5,000 a month. She says she scaled it to $10,000 a month and reached $134,000 in sales by her shop’s first anniversary, kept it open through labor by extending processing from 1 week to 4 to 6 weeks rather than using vacation mode, and still made $8,000 in the first weeks after birth and over $50,000 in her baby’s first half-year. Her 10 reasons for moms center on flexibility for sick kids and appointments, avoiding vacation mode, outsourcing cleaning and childcare once income passed $200,000 a year, earning $30,000 to $40,000 a month, teaching children hard work through a family business, guilt-free self-care, and moms’ multitasking and time-management skills, which she credits with pushing the shop past $1 million on Etsy.

Key takeaways

• Per her claims, she turned down a $110,000-a-year Petco offer while her new Etsy shop made about $5,000 a month, then scaled it to $10,000 a month
• She says she reached $134,000 in sales by her shop’s first anniversary and later $300,000 to $400,000 a year, passing $1 million total on Etsy
• Instead of vacation mode, which she calls a death sentence, she extended processing from 1 week to 4 to 6 weeks and still claims $8,000 in sales in the first weeks after birth
• Flexibility is the core benefit for moms: set your own hours around sick children, doctor appointments, school activities and travel by extending processing times
• Once shop income covered it, she outsourced help — starting with 20 hours a week (10am to 2pm, Monday to Friday) for childcare and housework — and argues moms’ multitasking and organization suit them for Etsy
