THE SECRET TO EARNING MORE ON ETSY | 9 Things to Ask an Etsy Business Coach | Increase Sales Faster

About this video

The creator explains how she would vet an Etsy business coach, noting that most free YouTube creators are also selling courses, coaching or affiliate products because AdSense alone rarely justifies the time. She advises first deciding between one comprehensive A-to-Z course and an a la carte approach of smaller topic courses from different teachers. She recommends learning from someone with substantially more experience and revenue than you, not someone whose success was only in 2020, which she describes as the easiest year to sell on Etsy. Key questions to ask a prospective coach include what was hardest when they started and what will be your biggest hurdle, how they would tell a student their designs are not good enough, and why they started coaching if Etsy was going so well — to screen out coaches who turned to coaching after their own sales slipped. She also says to look for an active, thriving shop rather than a dormant dummy shop, broader business success beyond one Etsy shop, and a confident, specific answer to what makes them sure they can help with your particular product and shop.

Key takeaways

• Decide first: one A-to-Z course vs a la carte topic courses
• Choose a coach with revenue and experience several levels above yours
• Avoid coaches whose only strong year was 2020 or who coach because sales slipped
• Ask how they deliver hard feedback when a student’s designs are not good
• Require an active thriving shop and broader business expertise, not Etsy tips alone
