Welcome, Product Bosses! In today’s exciting episode, we’re thrilled to share a segment from our guest appearance on the How to Sell Your Stuff on Etsy podcast, hosted by the fantastic Lizzie Smiley. Our alignment with Lizzie is rooted in our shared passion for empowering women to live their dream lives, free from career and financial constraints. This is the driving force behind our entrepreneurial ventures, where the freedom of time and money reigns supreme.

This discussion with Lizzie is particularly insightful, especially considering her recent experience of having her shop unexpectedly shut down on the Etsy platform. This highlights the risks of relying on a single platform and underscores the critical saying, "You can't build on borrowed land." We delve into the nitty-gritty of navigating the Etsy terrain, exploring strategies to enhance your average order value—a skill that’s beneficial across all platforms.

We also dive into the dangers of putting all your eggs in one basket, or in this case, one sales channel. The vulnerability of depending solely on a single channel is a risk too great to ignore. We also share an invaluable tip on growing your email list, a strategy not just for Etsy sellers but for all entrepreneurs looking to expand their reach. So, join us as we unpack these essential strategies to ensure your business remains resilient and thriving, irrespective of the platform.
