Guys. This post is about to get real :)

Today we’re going to talk about all of the discouragement and myths that people say about selling on Etsy. And if we’re being honest? They might even been things that you’ve said at one point or another.

In fact, if you’ve ever been discouraged about selling on Etsy, you’ve probably fallen prey to some of the more popular myths out there:

Since starting my Etsy shop, I’ve tried TONS of different strategies to drive more traffic and make more sales.

Some have been CRAZY successes. You know-- the kind you can repeat over and over again and see crazy-amazing results every single time.

But had I known which strategies to avoid? What marketing tips that were duds? What myths were holding me back from reaching my crazy Etsy dreams?

Well, I probably would have earned that six-figure income a lot faster ;) >>>

When I opened my first Etsy chop circa 2011 I was obsessed with stats. Seriously—I would find myself popping into my Etsy shop 8-10x/day just to see how many views I had, if I was getting favorites, and all that jazz.

And while it’s not bad in and of itself to check in on your stats (and if you aren’t currently doing it, you should be!), it can become a really unhealthy cycle when you start obsessing over ALL the numbers instead of focusing on the ones that really matter—the ones that bring you sales.

Yes, that’s right—not all views and favorites and likes are created equal...
