It’s kind of an understatement to say that the Etsy marketplace is pretty saturated in a lot of the “more popular” niches. but does that mean you have no chance of making it in these niches? No, not at all. And here’s why…gifts outside the box, etsy shop, jessica simao

This week I’m talking to Jessica and she started her Etsy shop, Gifts Outside The Box, earlier this year with the primary goal of starting an Etsy shop and filling a gap in the party industry and that is key…

In order to have a fighting chance at success on Etsy these days you have to have a plan for distinguishing your shop and your products so that you show up and rise up in Etsy searches sooner and more often.

In my convo with Jessica, here’s what we you’ll hear us discussing:

  • Filling a specific gap, offering what the market is asking for and planning for future product offerings
  • Fears and reservations about selling online for a new ecommerce entrepreneur
  • Time management while working full time and growing an Etsy business
  • Etsy SEO and Instagram for shop promotion
  • The importance of blogging for Etsy sellers
  • Setting yourself up for success as a new Etsy seller
