HOW I MAKE $9,500 PER MONTH ON ETSY 💰 | How to make money online | Work from home in 2024

About this video

The creator says she opened her Etsy shop in 2015, later reached the top 1% of Etsy shops, and that from March 2019 to March 2022 the shop averaged a little over $9,500 a month in revenue — she stresses this is revenue, not profit, and varied by season. She attributes that result, as her own claim, to three factors. First, running a data-driven shop: validating product and style demand before listing, using Etsy’s predictive search phrases and bestseller/popular badges, and using the EverBee Chrome extension to sort listings by estimated monthly revenue and study top listings’ photos, titles, SEO and tags for inspiration rather than copying. She cites a 2022 predicted trend toward 1960s groovy fonts as an example of following demand over personal taste. Second, always learning and pivoting: she recounts moving from painted canvases to pallet wood signs, stencil to charcoal-transfer lettering, improved durability, then to burlap wreaths, grapevine wreaths, and from monogram letters to phrase-sign inserts and more customization options as trends shifted. Third, an early ‘manual mode’ marketing season: building a Facebook page and group with giveaways/freebies, a 50%-off launch, and directing local Facebook sales through Etsy so sales pushed listings higher in search, until organic algorithm traction reduced the need for constant promotion.

Key takeaways

• Validate products and styles with data before listing — check Etsy predictive search terms, bestseller/popular badges, and repeated elements in top results
• Use EverBee analytics sorted by estimated monthly revenue to study competitors’ photography, titles, SEO and tags without copying them
• Be willing to pivot product type, style, technique and customization options as trends fade, while keeping brand values constant
• Expect a manual marketing season at the start: promote via social media, Pinterest, email, influencers or in-person events because Etsy search alone rarely brings initial traffic
• Direct off-Etsy and local sales through Etsy where possible, since sales on a listing help it rank higher in Etsy search
