Member-only story
In case you don’t know a little of the backstory, here’s a quick recap of how I began selling on Etsy and what the key was to my digital product success:
Problem #1: I had just had my fourth child (not a problem, just a life situation really, lol) 4 months before and was running my full-time POD and handmade sublimation tumbler Etsy shop
Problem #2: The shop was going crazy, 40–50 orders per day…but it was with handmade tumblers or personalized POD products, so I was spending 16–18 hours a day in between taking care of kids just to get the orders out…I never had time for spending time with kids or usually dinner..
Yes, the money was great (not complaining), but it was a hustle
Problem #3: With my growing family, it just wasn’t sustainable and I was burning out
Have you ever felt like you’re just spinning your wheels or a hamster on the wheel?
I was there, constantly worried about orders getting out on time and feeling really guilty with my family playing second fiddle and I was STRESSED out.
Then I decided to PIVOT
I thought, why not just go to the source and make the digital version of the product I’m selling….I knew the market, I just needed to learn the skills.
