Want to start selling on Etsy but feel completely overwhelmed by SEO, fees, rules, and everyone shouting different advice at you?

In this video, I’m walking you through how to start selling on Etsy in 5 simple steps, without melting your brain, overthinking your shop, or feeling like you need a business degree to get started.

This is a calm, beginner-friendly Etsy setup guide for 2026 and beyond, especially if you’re:

• Brand new to Etsy
  
  
• Stuck in research mode and not actually opening your shop
  
  
• Confused about what you’re allowed to sell
  
  
• Worried about SEO, pricing, or “doing it wrong”
  
  

We’ll cover:

• What you can (and can’t) sell on Etsy
  
  
• How to set up the business basics without a massive faff
  
  
• Opening your Etsy shop without obsessing over perfection
  
  
• Creating products that actually have a chance of selling
  
  
• Writing listings and starting marketing so people can find you
  
  

By the end, you’ll know exactly what to do next, instead of spinning in circles on Pinterest and Facebook groups.
