7 Months Later Etsy (RESULTS) 💸 & Beginner Etsy Shop Tips
About this video
Dylan Jahraus interviews her student Adrian (transcript spelling), a mom from Arizona who previously worked in the dental/healthcare field. Adrian says she started Etsy as a hobby after having kids because office schedules and COVID made being away from children difficult, hoping it could replace her job. She says she found Dylan when the channel was very new and chose her because of her business background and claimed shop results, rather than hobby-level advice. Dylan claims in the intro she has sold $1.5 million on Etsy with over a million dollars in profit. Adrian describes diving in during time when her kids were at school, following the program’s actionable daily steps, re-watching and re-applying lessons, and expanding her product mix across what Dylan calls the seven types of products to have in a shop. She says she started with six sales and then began getting daily orders, that her shop came to look like a real business rather than a hobby, and that the private community group with 24/7 coaching access and other competitive sellers pushed her to work harder. She contrasts an earlier under-$200 ‘find your niche’ course, which she says wasted time, with Dylan’s approach of finding your customer first, noting some of her top products are things she personally would not buy — ‘I’m not the customer.’ She says she has told her employer she is reducing her office days and plans to leave to work on the business from home, finding time early in the morning and in margins while kids nap or watch TV, and advises viewers who feel too busy or on the fence not to wait.
Key takeaways
- Adrian’s turning point was shifting from ‘find your niche’ to ‘find your customer’ — top sellers may be products the seller personally would not buy
- Work in the margins: she built the shop early mornings and during kids’ school, nap and TV time rather than waiting for a perfect time to start
- Re-apply the course repeatedly: each pass she added new strategies and expanded her product mix across Dylan’s seven product types
- Use community and coaching accountability: seeing other sellers’ progress in the small group fed her competitive drive and momentum from daily orders
- Treat time as the key asset: follow specific actionable daily steps and spend limited hours only on productive, sales-driving tasks
