Copy This Etsy Product, It Will Blow Up Your Shop

About this video

Dylan promotes what she calls the made-to-order customizable product as the most profitable model in her shop. She claims many sellers she has helped now have single listings making over $8,000 a month, and says these products can carry over 70% profit margins. The model has four rules: make nothing upfront, hold no inventory, create the item only after someone buys it, and say yes to every custom request. Her example is floral letters: she listed a photo of a letter she had made for herself for her wedding, and only bought materials and made a customer’s letter after it was ordered. With 26 letters, infinite color combinations, and multiple sizes, she argues she wastes no time on products that might not sell and every order is paid upfront. The growth secret is that each custom order becomes a new listing: she photographs the finished custom piece before packaging it and lists that example separately, so buyers trying to match the same popular crib sheet — for example from Pottery Barn or Caden Lane — find and buy it. She gives other applications: name wall signs in wood, vinyl, acrylic, or digital form; custom digital portraits of pets, people, or homes; custom tumblers or mugs, which can start from a mockup; and printable planners or checklists that are then customized.
