Today's conversation is all about growing your business intentionally, experimenting with new ideas, and building a brand that evolves alongside you. Today's guest is Kirstie Lee, the founder of A Jar of Pickles, a product company that creates playful gifts and accessories that celebrate Asian appetites. Kirstie's been in business for 12 years, starting as an Etsy hobby while she was in college, and she kept it running alongside her corporate job for 8 years. Then, she went full-time about 5 years ago after having her kids. Her brand now sells online, at craft shows, and through wholesale partnerships. Last year alone, she managed 43 retail markets across 4 states. Kirstie has been part of our Proof to Product community for more than a decade, and it has been such a joy to watch her business grow.In this episode, we talk about everything from balancing a corporate career while building a product brand to hiring your first employee, expanding into wholesale, building a devoted direct-to-consumer audience, and why treating your business like one big experiment has opened doors to opportunities that Kirstie never even planned for. I especially love Kirstie's perspective on listening to customers without letting every opinion dictate your direction and how staying curious has helped her continue growing year after year. If you are wondering what the next stage of growth could look like for your business and you're looking for encouragement that there is not one specific pathway to take for that success, then I think you're really going to enjoy today's episode.Today's episode is brought to you by our Is Wholesale Right for You workshop! Wholesale is not the only way to grow a product brand, but it's definitely my favorite. If you are curious about selling to retail stores, or maybe you've hit a wholesale plateau and aren't sure what to do next, then this free on-demand workshop will help you identify your next best step along with action items to do that.SIGN UPYou can view full show notes and more at http://prooftoproduct.com/451 Quick Links:Free Wholesale Audio SeriesFree Resources LibraryFree Email Marketing for Product MakersPTP LABSPaper Camp
Hello Witches The Buck Moon rises at the height of summer when the forests and fields are alive with abundance and the stag carries his newly grown antlers. In this month's Full Moon episode we are exploring the deeper symbolism of the Buck Moon and what this powerful lunar phase invites us to reflect upon. Together we will journey through its folklore, mythology and spiritual meaning discovering why the stag has become such a powerful symbol of renewal, resilience and personal sovereignty. We will also explore the deities and spirits traditionally connected to this moon including Cernunnos, Herne the Hunter, Pan, Artemis, Diana and the mythical Norse stag Eikthyrnir whose antlers were said to nourish the rivers of the world. We will touch upon the earth spirits and fae associated with this season and consider how the natural world mirrors our own inner cycles of growth. I hope this episode encourages you to honour how far you have already come, celebrate your own becoming and remember that just like the stag, your greatest strength often grows quietly before the world ever sees it.

The wheat cannot become bread while it remains standing in the field, the fruit must be picked before it begins to nourish. Every harvest asks us to release one form so that another may emerge. Lammas reminds us that growth is not only about planting new seeds but is also about recognising what has fulfilled its purpose and having the courage to let it go. Together we will explore what we have cultivated over the past year, celebrate the blessings already ripening in our lives and gently ask ourselves what we are ready to release so that something even more meaningful can flourish. As the Wheel of the Year begins its slow turn towards autumn, Lammas invites us to pause before the rush of the coming seasons. It asks us to acknowledge how far we have come, gather the wisdom we have earned and consciously choose what we wish to carry forward.

Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/VZbWncyWv-0 Why do some Etsy listings get attention but still struggle to convert? In this episode, I review two real Etsy listings and break down what they're getting wrong, what they're doing well, and what I would change to help them sell more. We'll cover: • Whether you should create new listings or improve existing ones • Why perfecting a listing too early can waste your time • What your first listing photo should actually accomplish • How to structure the beginning of your Etsy title • Why shoppers do not care about colors and options yet • How AI-generated listing photos can hurt trust • What your first three listing images need to communicate • How to sell the result of your product instead of just its features Your customer is not sold just because they clicked your listing. Before you show them every color, customization option, or installation detail, you need to help them understand why they should want the product in the first place.

Ever wondered what happens when you cross the digital gig economy with pure, unadulterated madness? This week, we're bypassing the wholesome handmade crafts on Etsy to dive into a wild subculture of online spellcasting—where you can Apple Pay your way into obsession love spells, graveyard hexes, or a proxy contract to sell your soul to Lucifer. But it doesn't stop there. We're also exploring the darkest and dumbest corners of Craigslist, Fiverr, and eBay, from professional breakup proxies and fake paparazzi for hire to bound demon entity listings and haunted dolls with warnings attached.

Ever notice something disappear... ...and suddenly realize how much you relied on it? That's exactly what happened to me this week. I was getting ready to record a completely different podcast episode when I noticed something was missing from Etsy's search results. At first I thought it was just me. Turns out... It wasn't. Today we're talking about what Etsy changed, why it matters, and whether I actually think it's a good thing or not. xo, Jacqueline | LEARN FROM ME | 1-Hour Etsy Shop Mini-Course www.jacqueline-butler.com/onehouretsyshop Six Figure Etsy Seller www.jacqueline-butler.com/sixfigureetsyseller 5- Minute Mockup Method Mini-Course http://jacqueline-butler.com/5minutemockups Canva Crash Course www.jacqueline-butler.com/canva Midjourney Beginner's Guide & 130+ Prompts www.jacqueline-butler.com/midjourney | OTHER STEPS + FREEBIES | FREE - 5 Steps to a Six Figure Etsy Shop https://jacqueline-butler.kit.com/sixfigureshop FREE - Secrets to a Non-Sucky Etsy Shop https://jacqueline-butler.kit.com/nonsuckyetsyshop FREE - Etsy Digital Products Starter Guide: www.jacqueline-butler.com/starterguide FREE Facebook Community: www.jacqueline-butler.com/freegroup Get In Touch: jb@jacqueline-butler.com Instagram: www.instagram.com/jacquelinebutler.co Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jacquelinebutler.co | MY FAVE RESEARCH TOOLS | eRank https://erank.com?fpr=jackie31 Insight Factory https://insightfactory.app/ Alura https://www.alura.io/?via=jacqueline
From AI to tariffs, Etsy is changing a lot in 2026...In today's episode, we're talking about the brutal truth for new Etsy sellers to face in 2026 in order to optimize their Etsy business for more sales.Feeling stuck with your Etsy shop? Inside our Ultimate Etsy course and coaching program, we believe there's no one size fits all strategy. Every shop is different. That's why the first step is to book a call with our team so we can understand your goals, identify what's holding your shop back, and help you create a clear path to growth.
I am going to admit something that sounds a little terrible…I love looking at a struggling Etsy shop. Not because I'm happy that they're not succeeding, but because a slow shop is a puzzle, and finding the one thing holding it back is my favorite part of this whole job.Before I was an Etsy seller and coach, I was a physical therapist, and I still think like one every time I look at a shop. The biggest thing PT taught me is that the spot where you feel the pain is usually not where the problem started. A knee that hurts is often a hip or an ankle issue showing up further down the line. Treat the knee and the patient is back in a few weeks, because nothing actually changed. Your shop works the same way. "I'm not getting sales" is not a diagnosis. It is a symptom. In this episode I walk you through exactly how I trace a slow shop back to the real cause: what I look at before I ever open a single listing, the questions I ask once I get into the data, and how I tell a traffic problem apart from a click problem apart from a conversion problem. By the end you will know how to stop changing random things and start asking the one question that actually leads somewhere: why?What you'll learn:Why "my shop isn't selling" is a symptom, not a diagnosis, and what to look at insteadThe physical therapy lesson that changed how I evaluate every single shopThe very first thing I do when I open a shop (and why it is not what you would expect)The exact questions I ask when someone tells me their traffic droppedThe four questions to keep asking until you get underneath the symptomResources Mentioned:Apply for 1:1 Coaching and diagnose your shop with me: https://sarahjwaggoner.com/coachingRun the free Sales Audit Workbook on your own shop: https://sarahjwaggoner.com/auditpodcast/Your Next Steps:Work with Me: https://sarahjwaggoner.com/etsy-visibility-acceleratorFollow me on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SarahJWaggonerJoin my Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/theheartlandcreativeFollow me on Threads: https://www.threads.com/@sarahjwaggonerFollow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sarahjwaggoner

It may have a meaningless game for both teams as whether either team won or lost, neither would've advanced to the Summer League tournament.But the Kings didn't let that sap their effort as they play their best game in their time in Vegas. The ball moved, the players moved and shots fell for them. While there was almost nothing at stake, their offense and defense really came together after all these games and the hope is that it carries over to the regular season.Use code SKT15 on checkout to get 15% off from HYVDesigns on Etsy during checkout or use this link: https://www.etsy.com/shop/hyvdesigns/?etsrc=sdt&coupon=SKT15Intro Music by Blue Dot Sessions. https://www.sessions.blueIf you want to email us: kingtherapypod@gmail.com
Join me on today's episode as we explore the ancient Sumerian goddess Inanna, one of the oldest and most fascinating deities in recorded history. Together we will journey through the myth of her descent into the Underworld, explore her other surviving myths and discover how you can begin working with her in your own spiritual practice and why you may feel called to do so. We will also discuss what Inanna's descent can teach us about navigating our own personal underworlds during times of loss, transformation and rebirth. Finally we will delve into her intriguing connections with Hermetic philosophy and the enduring theories that link the Sumerian gods to extraterrestrial origins. Our book review is Cackle by Rachel Harrison. Resources referenced are Descent & Rising – Womens stories and the embodiment of the Inanna myth by Carly Mountain.

Together we will walk winding woodland paths, meet witches at the edge of the forest, uncover forgotten parts of ourselves and explore the archetypes that have guided us for centuries. Throughout the month we will explore the stories we inherit and the stories we tell ourselves, archetypes such as the Wild Woman, the Witch, the Wise Woman, the Maiden and the Crone, the role folklore plays in personal transformation, how stories act as mirrors revealing hidden truths about ourselves, a deep dive into a traditional folktale and the wisdom hidden within it, a guided journey through the forest to meet Baba Yaga in her hut on chicken legs, where she will reveal the story that is ending, the story waiting to be born and the archetype guiding your path and a printable Storytellers Grimoire filled with reflections, prompts and exercises to help you uncover your own personal myth. Folklore was never simply entertainment. These stories survived because they carried wisdom. They were maps of the human experience guiding us through grief, transformation, initiation, love, loss, power and becoming. This month we will step inside those stories and discover what they still have to teach us. https://patreon.com/TheHedgeandHollow?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink For PR, Media, general enquiries please email me at carly@thewhitewitchcompany.co.uk Find me on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thewhitewitchpodcast/?hl=en-gb Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Watch on Youtube - https://youtu.be/1lR3jFYxKyY Growing an Etsy shop can feel like trying to survive in a jungle. There are thousands of competing products, changing algorithms, and endless advice about what sellers should do next. But growth becomes much easier when you understand what stage your business is in and focus on the right problem. In this episode, Jered shares ten principles that Etsy sellers can use to move from struggling for their first consistent sales to building a profitable and scalable business. Newer sellers need to stop obsessing over profit and concentrate first on earning trust. Etsy promotes shops that consistently create good customer experiences because Etsy makes money when buyers are happy. A newer shop cannot compete with an established seller simply by copying its prices. It must first generate sales, prove that customers want the product, and establish a track record. The next problem is visibility. Most struggling sellers act as though everyone is watching their shop, when the reality is that very few people even know it exists. Sellers need to become memorable, stand apart from similar shops, and actively bring people to their listings. Advertising can accelerate this process by generating visibility and quickly providing useful data. Customers then become one of the most valuable sources of business information. Sellers often believe they already know what shoppers want, but real customer behavior can challenge those assumptions. Every order, question, review, and response teaches the seller more about the market. More customers also create more repetition, helping the seller improve their products, fulfillment, service, and overall skill. Many things feel difficult in business simply because the seller has not developed the necessary skill yet. Once someone has repeatedly sold, fulfilled, and improved a product, the process becomes easier. That increased ability is valuable, and it eventually gives the seller a legitimate reason to charge more. For sellers who already have consistent sales, the next stage is about focus. A shop should serve one core target audience, even when it expands into multiple niches. For example, a sticker seller can create products for hikers, students, drivers, and other groups while still serving people who buy and use stickers. The niches change, but the fundamental customer and product remain connected. Rather than constantly searching for a completely new idea, sellers should look closely at what is already succeeding. A proven product, niche, design, or marketing angle often has far more growth potential than the seller realizes. Becoming exceptionally good at something that works is usually more profitable than being average at many unrelated things. Once traffic and demand are established, sellers should improve how effectively their listings sell. That means understanding why customers want the product, what problem it solves, why they choose it over alternatives, and how to communicate those reasons clearly. Better photos, positioning, offers, descriptions, and pricing can improve conversion rates. When more visitors become buyers, Etsy receives stronger evidence that the listing deserves additional visibility. Established sellers eventually face a different problem: they become too busy fulfilling orders to grow the business. At this stage, raising prices can create needed breathing room. Higher prices may reduce order volume slightly, but they can allow the seller to make the same amount—or more—with fewer orders. They can also filter out bargain-focused shoppers and attract customers who are more committed to the product and the value behind it. Successful shops should also give loyal customers more opportunities to buy. A customer who trusts the seller should never reach the end of the product line with nowhere else to go. Shops can create bundles, premium versions, larger packages, complementary products, and high-end offers. Some customers genuinely want the best option available, but they cannot purchase it unless the seller creates it. Finally, experienced sellers do not always need another new strategy. They often need to be reminded of the principles they already know. Constantly searching for the next trick can distract them from the proven actions that built their business in the first place. The central lesson is that Etsy growth changes as the shop grows. At first, the priority is trust, visibility, customers, and skill. Then it becomes focus, expansion of what works, and stronger selling. Eventually, it becomes pricing, product depth, and disciplined execution. Successful Etsy shops do not survive by doing everything. They survive by identifying their current bottleneck and solving the right problem at the right time.

How can a company own almost nothing and still become one of the most valuable businesses in the world?In this episode of Corporate Finance Explained, we break down the economics behind platform marketplaces and why companies like Airbnb, Etsy, and Upwork have fundamentally different business models than traditional retailers.Unlike conventional businesses that own inventory and physical assets, marketplace platforms create value by connecting buyers and sellers. But building a successful platform is far more complex than simply attracting users. We explore the financial mechanics behind network effects, take rates, liquidity, customer acquisition, and marketplace economics, along with why some platforms become incredibly profitable while others burn through billions of dollars without ever reaching sustainable growth.
"The world is one big giant oyster, and there's so many different ways to make a dollar, and if you're motivated, it can be made out of just about anything." — Kira Hartley Klinger Kira Hartley Klinger was 40 years old, newly divorced, with a teenager at home, no college degree, and a patchwork of side hustles behind her: cleaning houses, writing resumes, running a paper route with her boys. What she did have was five years of experience selling on eBay, a willingness to buy what nobody else wanted, and an instinct for finding treasure in the boxes at the back of auction lots. She fell into vintage fabric entirely by accident — buying it cheap because it was there, then discovering customers in Japan and Australia who kept coming back for more. She taught herself to date a piece of fabric by its width and fiber content. She opened an Etsy shop. She started writing little essays on her listing pages about the characters she met at auctions, and customers began writing back: you need to write the book. So she did. Twice. And those books led to speaking at quilting guilds, podcast guesting, and a California TV producer who signed her because she believed in the story. At 55, Kira became debt-free for the first time in her adult life. Raymond Aaron talks with her about the wiggly path — the one you can only see clearly by looking backward — and what it means to follow what the world is quietly offering you.

Kings faced the Nets and Celtics in back to back games and it was 2 games of truly dreadful basketball for the Kings.The Kings struggled mightily with turnovers in the Nets game in which they gave up 27 of them, and in the Celtics game the Kings only managed to score a total of 4 points in the 1st quarter. It is just Summer League so there's only so much we can take away from these games, but it does raise the question of whether the issues could carry over into the main roster when it's time for real games in the regular season.Time will tell.Use code SKT15 on checkout to get 15% off from HYVDesigns on Etsy during checkout or use this link: https://www.etsy.com/shop/hyvdesigns/?etsrc=sdt&coupon=SKT15Intro Music by Blue Dot Sessions. https://www.sessions.blueIf you want to email us: kingtherapypod@gmail.com

You love your kids, and still, there are days you'd happily pack a bag and disappear for a week. That thought can feel scary or shameful, so we say nothing and keep pushing until we're snapped, numb, or convinced we're failing. I'm Flora McCormick, a licensed therapist and parenting coach, and I'm sharing the simplest, most reliable way I know to refill your parenting tank without a vacation, a bigger budget, or extra childcare.The turning point is one honest question: what could I stop doing? So many of us are exhausted not only from what our kids need, but from what we add because it feels good to be needed. We unpack the “rescuer” pattern and why chasing control or perfectly compliant kids won't create the relief you want. Instead, we practice sustainable parenting through boundaries, leadership, and skill-building that supports your child's independence and your mental health.You'll hear concrete examples you can try today, from turning a snack request into a coaching moment to helping a child build bedtime coping tools like counting, progressive muscle relaxation, and comfort cues. We also use a memorable metaphor for boundaries: being a backpacker instead of a double packer, so you stop carrying what your kids can learn to carry themselves. If you want parenting that bridges gentle parenting and effective discipline, this is your permission slip to do less and feel stronger.Subscribe for more sustainable parenting tools, share this with a parent who's running on fumes, and leave a review so more families can find the support they need. ✨Want more? ✨JOIN me in the SUMMER of support:

Everyone keeps telling you to price one thing dirt cheap to pull in new customers. It works great at Costco. On Etsy, it just hands your money to a bargain hunter who never comes back. So if a cheap price is not how you win that first sale, what is?In this episode I break down why loss leaders fall apart on Etsy (hint: there is no front door for a deal to pull anyone through), and then I give you the actual way to win a first-time buyer without dropping your price by a single dollar. A first-time buyer has no history with you, no loyalty, and about ten seconds to decide whether you are the real deal or a stranger they should skip. Your job is to be the easiest, safest yes in a search full of competitors. I walk you through the three things that make that happen, plus the concrete trust moves you can go set up today.What you'll learn:Why the loss leader advice everyone repeats was built for stores with doors, and why Etsy does not have oneThe three things every first sale has to clear, in order, before a stranger will buyWhy getting found and getting clicked are two completely different problems (and most sellers only work on one)Why a first-time buyer needs more proof than a repeat buyer, and exactly what proof to give themFour trust moves you can set up today, including the one that does more work than all the restHow to win the buyer who wanted what you actually make, at the price you actually chargeResources Mentioned:Run the free Sales Audit Workbook on your shop: https://sarahjwaggoner.com/auditpodcast/Apply for 1:1 Coaching (one spot left for the summer at time of recording): https://sarahjwaggoner.com/coachingYour Next Steps:Work with Me: https://sarahjwaggoner.com/etsy-visibility-acceleratorFollow me on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SarahJWaggonerJoin my Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/theheartlandcreativeFollow me on Threads: https://www.threads.com/@sarahjwaggonerFollow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sarahjwaggoner

00:00–01:05: Introduces price anchoring—the idea that showing a high-priced option first makes later, lower-priced options feel more affordable. Shares a classic beer menu example where listing expensive beers first increased average spending. 01:05–03:15: Demonstrates price anchoring with service pricing ($500 vs. $150 package) and recounts a sales technique from the speaker's father, who would casually mention a much higher number before revealing the real price, making the actual offer seem inexpensive. 03:15–05:17: Applies price anchoring to Etsy. Recommends including a photo showing your entire product line (not just one item) to build trust, demonstrate experience, and help shoppers quickly identify products they like. 05:17–07:44: Warns against the paradox of choice. Claims that around four options is the ideal number because too many choices increase friction, reduce buyer confidence, and can lead to fewer purchases and more returns. 08:02–10:19: Shares general pricing psychology tips: Remove commas from large prices. Avoid currency symbols when possible. Use smaller font sizes for prices to make them feel less intimidating. Certain wording (such as "low") can subtly influence price perception. 10:19–12:53: Explains how to build effective bundles. Keep bundle pricing easy to understand so buyers can quickly recognize the value without doing difficult mental math, reducing decision fatigue. 12:53–14:11: Suggests using price anchoring inside bundles by presenting the highest-priced package first, making mid-tier options feel like the best value. Reinforce this with labels like "Most Popular" to add social proof and guide buyers toward the desired purchase.
Stop Perfecting. Start Shipping. The AI Course Launch Formula Want to build digital courses that actually convert? Learn how AI entrepreneurs are bypassing the traditional course launch trap—creating niche digital products from AI trainer work to personalized templates that sell instantly on Etsy. In this episode, discover the fastest path to making money online without a massive email list or teaching skills you don't have. https://DarkHorseEntrepreneur.com Newsletter - https://DarkHorseInsider.com Tracy explains how to use ChatGPT (GPT-4o/5.5) and basic prompt engineering to build and launch a profitable micro-course quickly without expensive platforms or long timelines. The core idea is to pick an ultra-specific, searchable niche problem by mining repeating complaints in Facebook groups, Discord, Reddit, and Slack, then validate before building by extracting objections and emotional counterarguments with ChatGPT and collecting real case-study quotes for proof. He recommends building the sales funnel first using free/low-cost tools (Carrd/Webflow, ConvertKit/Beehiiv, Stripe), having ChatGPT draft a sales page structure, and creating a simple 5–7 part course with short videos filmed on a phone and edited in Descript using AI-assisted scripts. He emphasizes shipping imperfectly, using Shorts/TikTok for email capture, being only one step ahead of customers, and making character-driven refund decisions, then promotes the AI Escape Plan newsletter and assigns an action to write down one specific repeatable problem today. 00:00 AI Course Goldmine 01:23 Free Tools Mindset 02:01 Pick a Sharp Niche 03:38 Validate With Prompts 05:14 Build Funnel First 05:53 Sales Page Blueprint 07:10 Fast Course Production 09:07 Launch Traffic Plan 09:59 Speed Over Credentials 11:44 Refunds and Character 13:47 One Action Today 14:31 Wrap Up how to create an online course, ChatGPT, course creation, AI side hustles, make money online with AI, prompt engineering, launch an online course, AI powered income, side hustles, online course blueprint, AI tools, validate a course idea, side hustle, make money online, digital course creation, how to use ChatGPT to make money, AI income system, ai content creation, course creation, digital marketing, digital product ideas, digital product, email list, entrepreneur podcast, entrepreneur tips, make money online, online business, online entrepreneurship
