About this video

Drawing on meeting over a hundred Etsy sellers, many of whom she says were making over $20,000 a month, the creator names constraints blocking 10x profit growth. Constraint one is hourly wage: she urges a separate profit calculator per product type using revenue, cost including shipping and packaging, and minutes of labor, and says sellers should aim to make over $100 an hour so hiring becomes possible. She cites her own figures, including flower walls at $262 an hour, wood cutouts at $240, flower crowns at $197, and sweatshirts at only $26 an hour and floral letters at $24. Constraint two is being an ’end of week’ person instead of an ’end of day’ person; she recounts client Erica sitting on eight to 10 photographed listings at an opportunity cost she put at $500 a day, and her own patch sweatshirts that she says did 50 grand a month after she delayed listing them almost six months. Constraint three is being a ‘goal recycler’ who keeps resetting the same deadline. Constraint four is boxing yourself into one customer; she advises finding 10 complimentary customers in the same shop linked by threads of cohesion to raise lifetime value. The final constraint is binge-watching YouTube videos instead of taking personalized action.

Key takeaways

• Track hourly wage per product with a profit calculator using revenue, costs, and minutes of labor; aim for over $100 an hour
• Her examples: flower walls $262/hour and wood cutouts $240/hour versus sweatshirts $26/hour and floral letters $24/hour
• Be an end-of-day person, not end-of-week: publish imperfect listings now rather than delaying them
• Stop recycling the same goal with a new deadline, and stop doing more of what is not working
• Target 10 complimentary customers in one shop via threads of cohesion instead of boxing into a single niche
