$100 A Day Etsy Shop Ideas

“I want to make money on Etsy!” is FLAWED THINKING!

Etsy, YouTube, Pinterest, etc. are not the moneymakers, but the platforms you can use to make money on the internet.

Benefits of using Etsy as your platform:

1. TRUST
   Etsy is a trustworthy site with millions of users.
2. TRAFFIC
   Because it’s a trusted site, netizens look to Etsy before other sites to spend their money.
3. ORDERING SYSTEM
   There’s no need to worry about creating a merchant account due to Etsy’s built-in ordering system.

One incredibly easy and efficient way to use Etsy as a tool for making money online is selling DIGITALLY DOWNLOADABLE products related to a relevant niche.

EXAMPLE: Wedding invitation templates, woodworking plans, printable wall art, digital planners for students, etc.

Once you choose your niche, find a way to direct traffic from outside sources to your Etsy shop.

TIP: Try grabbing a domain relevant to your niche to increase your likelihood of gaining traffic.

 

 

Let the market guide your decisions!

Make your decisions not solely based on your opinion of what would sell, but also based on solid data of the market and what is currently selling. This data is called your constant. Hard facts such as the amount of searches a keyword receives daily, traffic analytics, and current trends are all constants in your research.

Some tips about using keyword tools and using constant data:

DON’T: Use the keyword tools the way they’re intended.

• This will only get you the same results everyone else is getting and eventually lead you to a dead end!

DO: Shift your thinking and find a way to combine tools in a way others aren’t.

• Make your money being different and more creative than the rest.

EXAMPLE: You find that “outdoor bar” is a popular search right now, according to your constant data. Rather than trying to build an outdoor bar and sell it yourself, sell the digital plans for building an outdoor bar instead. This not only will be more effective for your sales being as you’re no longer trying to compete with retail giants, but less detrimental on your wallet because there will be no building, packaging, or shipping costs for your digitally downloadable item.

TIP: As mentioned, digitally downloadable items create more revenue because of the lack of costs you’d otherwise have to pay for selling a physical item that needs to be built, packaged, and shipped. Once Etsy takes their cut, there will be nothing else consistently taking your money; you keep the rest!

Plans for builds (directions on how to build a certain building, piece of furniture, decoration, etc.) are very popular right now according to constant data of the market. This is another constant that not only we see, but also advertisers who will pay money to get a bit of the action. You can benefit from this by including relevant ads in your business plan.
