is perfect for you...

 

if you want to be able to sell your products to people all over the world, all while setting your own hours to do it!

 
If you have...
  • At least ONE product to sell.  You don't need a giant inventory to open your shop.  In fact, it's better to not start with too many items.  (hint: learn how Etsy works before listing all your products)
  • A desire to create.  You bring the passion and drive for your products and I'll teach you the rest - how to get the most views, what to write in your descriptions, how the algorithm works, and allll the techie stuff.
  • An existing shop with only a few sales. Fret not.  Using my strategies you'll be able to quickly pinpoint the areas that need fixing so you can be on your way to growing that shop!

Look, you don’t know what you don’t know, right? That’s why I’m here. To tell you what you are missing when it comes to setting up your Etsy shop.

No one comes to Etsy knowing how to do it all correctly at first. I definitely didn’t!  In my first few years, I barely sold anything because I didn’t know what I was doing. I cringe at how much wasted time and money I spent trying to figure it all out! But I did my research and spent hours and hours learning and experimenting in my own shop.

Now you don't have to spend all that time like I did and you can skip to the front of the line! This program is based on my years of experience and research. With over 8,000 of my own sales and hundreds of successful past students, you're in good hands. 

 I'll see you on the inside,

I hesitated in joining the class but near the last hour I took the plunge. BEST DECISION EVER! Don’t be afraid if you are not a computer person because she shows you everything. 

If you want to expand your business I would highly recommend Lauren and her Etsy course.

Why Sell on Etsy

if Facebook already works for you?

Etsy is a marketplace of 90+ million shoppers. Buyers come to Etsy for the purpose of purchasing something. Individuals come to Facebook to use it as a social connection – not necessarily to purchase something.

Selling on Etsy gives you access to a new and larger market of shoppers. On Etsy, you can reach more price ranges and buyers with more styles and tastes.

If selling locally or on Facebook is working for you then keep doing it! Etsy doesn’t have to be INSTEAD OF. It can be IN ADDITION TO what you’re already doing.

It’s a way to expand the business you currently have! Who doesn't want more sales?

I thought, well it’s about time I get paid for it.

If you are on the fence about the investment, let me tell you it is worth EVERY penny and more, you will not regret it!
