Just opened an Etsy shop and already feel overwhelmed?

This video is your calm reset.

I’m breaking down what Etsy actually expects from brand new sellers, what you can completely stop worrying about for now, and why feeling lost at the start doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong.

If you’re new to Etsy and want to start without panic, guesswork, or burning out before your first proper sale, watch this before you do anything else.

✨ Want a calm checklist instead of guessing?

🚨 The Listathon is back 🚨

If you’ve made somewhere between zero and twenty sales on Etsy… or you’ve made sales but they feel completely random and you have no idea why they happened…

I need you to listen for a second.

Because I’m about to run something I only do a couple of times a year.

It’s called Listathon.

And it’s a completely free, live challenge starting 16th March where I’m going to walk you through fixing the foundations of your listings properly.

Not “add more products.”

Not “post more on Instagram.”

Not “work harder.”

We fix what’s already sitting in your shop.

The titles.

The photos.

The structure.

The bits that quietly decide whether someone buys… or clicks away.

If you’re tired of refreshing your dashboard and hoping something changes… this is the moment you stop hoping and start fixing.

It’s live.

It’s free.

And it’s for the handmade business owner who knows their products are good… but their shop isn’t pulling its weight yet.

Spots are open now.

Go to handmadebosses.com/listathonweek and get yourself signed up.

Canva can make you money.

But if you’re treating it like a shortcut to passive income, you’ll just end up with a very tidy Canva folder and… no sales.

In this video, I’m breaking down 5 real ways to make money with Canva in 2026.

No hype. No “sell one template and retire”. Just honest, workable routes that actually make sense, especially if you sell on Etsy.

You’ll learn:
👉 The 5 Canva money routes that actually work
👉 Exactly what to create for each one (not vague ideas)
👉 How to price Canva products so they sell and make sense
👉 How to list them on Etsy without making it a whole personality
👉 The biggest Canva mistake that makes buyers bounce (yes, it’s common)

This is for you if:
👉 You’ve tried printables or templates and nothing happened
👉 You keep tweaking designs instead of getting paid
👉 You want Canva to support a real business, not become another time sink
👉 I’ve seen thousands of handmade sellers try Canva, digital products, and “quick wins”.

The ones who make money design for buyers, not vibes.

If you’re stuck around £100–£2k a month on Etsy and your current plan is
“maybe I just need more products”…

we need to talk.

In this episode, I’m breaking down my 2026 Etsy profit playbook and how six-figure Etsy shops are actually built - quietly, calmly, and without burning yourself into the ground.

This isn’t hustle advice.

It’s structure, clarity, and knowing what actually moves the needle.

We’ll cover:
👉Why more products usually stall growth (not scale it)
👉The difference between niche depth and niche hopping
👉How six-figure shops design product ranges for repeat buyers
👉Why “Reels and pray” is not a business model
👉Pricing in a way that supports a real human life
👉The systems that replace panic posting and guessing

If your shop feels busy but not profitable, this episode is probably going to feel a bit personal - in a helpful way.

I’m Steph. I’ve been selling and coaching handmade businesses since 2016, and I’ve seen exactly where sellers get stuck… and what actually helps them break through.
