HOW I SOLD $96,284 OF ONE ETSY LISTING | How to Grow On Etsy How to Make Money Etsy Work from Home
About this video
Dylan Jahraus, who says she has sold on Etsy for six years and does $300,000-$400,000 on the platform, explains how to build a ‘power listing’ — her term for any listing with over $20,000 in lifetime sales — and says one of her listings alone sold over $96,000 (the title gives the more precise $96,284 figure). Her steps: (1) pick a product that is highly searched, verified by typing the search term into Etsy and checking whether results carry ‘best seller’ or ‘popular now’ tags; (2) use a full photo set — lifestyle shot, someone wearing the item if wearable, a size-reference shot, close-up, multiple angles, plus a video; (3) protect the listing’s review integrity through over-communication and clear expectations, since a negative review stays attached permanently; (4) write a description that leads with facts and item details, not flowery brand copy; (5) add variations/customization so one listing serves many buyers; and (6) pin the item on Pinterest daily and reuse the listing photo across all branding. She walks through a ‘wedding earrings’ best-seller listing as an example and warns never to let a power listing be removed over Etsy compliance issues. She claims her shop has about 40 listings that have each done over $20,000 and over $1.25 million in total Etsy sales, and pitches her Multi-Six Figure Etsy Blueprint course with six weeks of one-on-one coaching.
Key takeaways
- A ‘power listing’ (over $20,000 in lifetime sales, per the creator) is built deliberately, not by accident — she claims about 40 such listings in her shop
- Validate demand before listing: search the term on Etsy and only proceed if results carry ‘best seller’ or ‘popular now’ tags
- Use the full photo variety — lifestyle, worn, size-reference, close-up, multiple angles, and a video — since the main photo drives the click
- Lead the description with facts and item details to set expectations and protect the listing from negative reviews, which attach permanently
- Load one listing with variations/customization, pin it on Pinterest daily, and feature its photo across all shop branding
