Everything on this site comes from actually running the business, including the parts that went wrong.
I built a six-figure Etsy craft supply business without making a single product. Not because I was more creative than anyone else, but because I sold the materials that makers reorder every month.
Like most Etsy sellers, I started with more questions than answers. There was plenty of advice about handmade goods, print on demand, and digital downloads. There was almost nothing about building a real business selling supplies, which is a different model with different rules.
So I learned it the slow way. I tested products that did not sell. I ordered from suppliers I should have vetted more carefully. I priced things without accounting for fees I did not know existed. Over time I built systems that made the decisions easier and the results more predictable.
Sell Craft Supplies on Etsy is the resource I wish I had when I started: practical, specific, and focused on things you can act on this week. The companion workbook came next, for people who would rather fill in a worksheet than take notes.
Good information should be accessible, actionable, and respectful of your time. That is what I am trying to build here.
