I Tried Selling EVERY Product on Etsy, This One Makes $19,221/Mo

About this video

Jahraus argues engraved and gold-stamped functional products are a year-round category most sellers ignore, because they personalize everyday items people already use, such as notebooks, cutting boards, and keychains, into thoughtful, durable gifts for weddings, birthdays, holidays, baby showers, graduations, and anniversaries, for which buyers will pay more. She then lists 50 specific ideas across daily use and accessories (leather journals, planners, keychains, wallets, water bottles, tote bags, bookmarks), home and kitchen (cutting boards, wooden spoons, serving trays, coasters, bottle openers, tea boxes, recipe cards, aprons), office and workspace (business card holders, mouse pads, desk name plates, portfolios, pens, laptop stands, desk mats), wedding and events (vow books, ring boxes, card boxes, champagne flutes, bridesmaid proposal boxes, place cards, cake toppers), and gifting/holidays (stockings, ornaments, Father’s Day tool kits, passport holders, baby announcement plaques, photo albums). On tools, she says sellers do not need $10,000 in equipment: she cites an Xtool D1 Pro bought refurbished for under $500, and says someone made $438,000 engraving leather wallets with that inexpensive machine; a Glow Forge Basic is usually over $1,000, with Thunder Lasers and Epilog as advanced options. For foil stamping, she names manual Kingsley machines at often $300 to $800 used, Quick Print or Howard as advanced options, and the Cricut foil tool as budget-friendly. Her tips: use vegetable tanned leather for foil stamping, and laser safe tape for contrast on metal. To choose, research gift searches on Amazon, Walmart, or Nordstrom, check Pinterest for engraved or foil-stamped gifts, watch premium-brand trends she says reach Etsy 6 to 8 months later, start with just two to three ideas, or partner with a local production shop instead of buying equipment. Note: the $19,221/month figure appears only in the video title, not in the transcript.
