How to ACTUALLY make money on Etsy (only work 7 HOURS a week) | The best side hustle 2023

About this video

She tailors an Etsy game plan to four different situations, arguing different sellers need different strategies. For a busy mom of three with about seven hours a week wanting modest extra income, she recommends starting from existing skills: list digital products she has already made for family life if she has Canva experience, use utility checklists if design is weaker, or buy and resell supplies with a method she teaches that she says carries no dead-inventory risk. For a tech worker earning, she posits, $300,000 to $400,000 who wants a replacement income stream, she prescribes a one-to-two-month sprint doing the work herself, then training a VA to scale the seven-product-type mix, reinvesting into more help, and only going full-time after sustained profit. For a college student, she suggests monetizing tools already in use — study aids, resumes, presets, social media templates — across business and consumer buyers. For a burned-out nurse wanting private-school money within about three months, she recommends a team effort with a spouse, a customized physical product with an average order value over $80, a handful of SKUs fast, and heavy use of her Facebook and aggressive pricing strategies.

Key takeaways

• Match the Etsy strategy to the seller’s hours, skills, and income goal
• Low-time sellers should start from skills and products they already have
• Do the sprint yourself first, then train a VA on your proven process
• Students can monetize study, job-search, and social tools they already use
• A short, high-income deadline calls for higher-value customized physical products
