If you read Michelle’s life story, one of the first things that will stand out to you is her declaration of a profound revelation she had one day… That she had “lived the same year twice”…

Michelle Rohr

When I read that statement I was immediately drawn and wanted to learn more.

This week, I am pleased to introduce you to Michelle Rohr, she’s a very successful Etsy seller, her shop is Secret OWL Society and she also runs her own independent website SecretOWLSociety (but it’s much more than just a website/blog)

…And if that wasn’t enough, she teaches other sellers how to successfully sell printables on Etsy, something she has been doing successfully for the past few years.

Michelle and I talk about a lot of topics that are germane to Etsy sellers and she comes with a fresh perspective on how to handle a lot of issues/situations many sellers face.

In our conversation, we discuss the following:

  • Learning and getting inspiration from other successful Etsy sellers
  • Mailing lists – the benefits of having one (Side note: if you don’t have one yet, you really need to start building one up) and selling to your mailing list
  • Marketing your product over and over again
  • An in-depth discussion of Pinterest marketing and how Michelle has successfully used it to drive thousands of dollars in sales
  • The importance of picking just one social media platform to focus on
  • Michelle’s S.O.S. Club and other community offerings
  • Michelle’s course “Passive Income with Printables“
  • So much more…

I’d like to give a special ShoutOut to Kristie Chiles whom we mention at the beginning of our conversation. I found out about Michelle through one of Kristie’s YouTube videos, you can watch it here. Kristie is also an Etsy seller and you can check out her Etsy shop  – Heart of Sunshine Mugs.
