#100 - How Top 0.1% Etsy Sellers Got There And Why You're Falling Behind

Ever look at another Etsy shop and think

“How are they doing that… when I’m working just as hard?”

Same platform.

Same niche.

Same handmade chaos.

Yet some Etsy sellers quietly scale while others feel permanently behind.

In this video, I’m breaking down how the top 0.1% of Etsy sellers actually got there and why you might feel like you’re falling behind, even though you’re doing all the things.

Spoiler:

It’s not luck.

It’s not talent.

And it’s not the Etsy algorithm hating you personally.

We’ll talk about:

• The habits top Etsy sellers repeat (that no one puts in Reels)
  
  
  
• Why “overnight success” is a myth that keeps sellers stuck
  
  
  
• The difference between running a shop and running a business
  
  
  
• Why pricing, listings, and systems matter more than motivation
  
  
  
• How to stop guessing and start making calm, confident decisions
  
  
  

If your Etsy shop feels busy but not productive, this video will probably hit a nerve.

I’m Steph. I’ve been running my own handmade business since 2016 and have coached thousands of Etsy sellers. I’ve seen what actually moves the needle and what just creates noise.
