How to Find PROFITABLE Products to Sell on Etsy in 2025 | Etsy Q&A

About this video

(Summarized from the Bengali caption track.) This is a wide-ranging Etsy Q&A. Dylan Jahraus introduces herself as a roughly seven-year Etsy seller and claims, in her own account, over $1.5 million in revenue and over $1 million in profit on the platform. On finding profitable products, her core advice is to research outside Etsy: influencers, YouTube, Pinterest, TikTok and especially trade shows, which she says show trends about a year early; for digital wall art she points to Pottery Barn, West Elm and Restoration Hardware, and for templates she stresses utility — helping buyers save or make money and time. For a digital print shop with low sales she blames too few listings, pricing mistakes and overlapping SEO, advising varied long-tail keywords so listings do not compete with each other, and giving products away free at first to force traction. Other answers: edit a bestseller to add variations rather than creating a new listing; do not hire a social media company until your workload is genuinely full; use a link shortener such as Bitly; if sales are going well, do not change strategy or raise prices until at least another 500 sales; with no sales in a month despite good optimisation, the problem is likely the product itself; open a second shop only when the first is thriving, never while still struggling; kids’ digital products can be made with AI but the niche is saturating, so personalisation is the differentiator; if you cannot be the cheapest on T-shirts, study premium brands selling at $70 or more — their aesthetic usually avoids slogans and often uses no text; if starting over she would sell fully outsourced supply products, particularly event supplies with some items priced near $1,000; most of her students, she says, use Printify or Printful; selling from Europe works only if the product justifies wait times, or via US third-party logistics stock; Etsy permits commercial supplies, so supplies need not be handmade; she strongly endorses custom orders and turning them into regular listings; and she closes by arguing that sellers who fail usually have not worked hard enough for long enough, urging viewers not to quit during the dip.

Key takeaways

• Find profitable products outside Etsy — trade shows, influencers, Pinterest, TikTok and premium retailers such as Pottery Barn, West Elm and Restoration Hardware — rather than copying Etsy listings.
• Low digital-print sales are usually attributed to too few listings, pricing errors and overlapping SEO; vary long-tail keywords and consider free offers to create initial traction.
• Do not open a second shop, change a working strategy or raise prices prematurely: open shop two only when shop one is thriving, and wait for at least 500 more sales before changing a working approach.
• Compete on premium positioning, not price: study $70-plus T-shirt brands (often text-free), use personalisation in the saturating kids’ niche, and consider high-ticket supply/event products.
• Take custom orders and convert them into listings, so the shop fills with products buyers have demonstrably asked for.
