Whether you’re a complete beginner on Etsy, or want to scale your handmade business to multi-6 figures, the “How To Be A Handmade Boss” podcast gives you actionable advice and workshop style full length episodes to grow your handmade business on Etsy and beyond.

We get it. Starting or growing a handmade business can be really overwhelming, and sometimes you feel like you have an expensive hobby rather than a profitable business. If you have questions like “How can I make sales in my business?” “How do I start a handmade shop?” “How can I make this passion my full-time gig?” or “How do I sell my crafts online” then you’re in the right place boss!

I’m Steph, a multi 6-figure handmade business owner (in the top 0.1% of all shops on Etsy), bestselling author of “How to be a handmade boss”, visionary and coach behind Handmade Bosses.

However, It wasn’t always rainbows and unicorns though. Today, my business(es) are bustling, but way back in 2014 when I started, it was HARD. Favourites but no sales, slow sales and low profits seemed in the beginning, like the trajectory of my business. Luckily following the system I’ve now curated, All of that changed and I went full-time in my handmade business in 2016.

Let’s focus on turning your passion into profit, because the world really does need these special creations that you only bring to life.

    #135 Selling to the EU on Etsy New Packaging Rules Explained
    Oct 7 2026

    Grab the free guide: Why Your Etsy Listings Aren’t Selling Yet - and What To Do About It: www.handmadebosses.com/whynosales

    New EU packaging and EPR rules are causing a lot of confusion for Etsy sellers, especially businesses selling from the UK into Europe.

    In this episode:

    • What changed from August 2026
    • What PPWR and EPR actually mean
    • Why the rules may affect handmade sellers
    • Why requirements aren't identical in every EU country
    • What I'd check before switching off EU delivery

    You don't need to become an EU packaging-law expert. You do need to know whether the rules apply to your business.

    Opened your Etsy shop and still waiting for that first order?


    In this episode, you'll learn:
    Why there is no normal number of days to get your first Etsy sale
    Why comparing your shop with other new sellers can be misleading
    What to look at instead of just counting days
    How to tell whether enough buyers have actually seen your products
    What to do while you're waiting for your first order


    Your first sale isn't on a timer. Get useful evidence before you start changing everything.

    If you’re heading towards Q4 thinking:

    RIGHT. I need to make more products, post more, change my listings and basically do ALL THE THINGS before Christmas...

    ummmmmm, no 😂

    From the 21st to the 24th of September, I’m running Listathon, my completely FREE four-day challenge for handmade business owners.

    We’re going to look at which products actually deserve your attention, how to create listings that do their job, how to get more from what’s already working, AND how to build a simple marketing plan to get more people seeing your stuff.

    Basically...

    less random tweaking.

    Less guessing.

    More knowing what you should actually focus on.

    And if Listathon has already started by the time you’re hearing this, you can still jump in and catch up on the replays.
