    I’ve been selling on Etsy for a little over 3 years now and the demand is overwhelming at times. I finally got my husband to join in on the process and help me with managing everything. At times I want to quit but I believe with his help that might change my thoughts. I would love to see more videos of you and your husband Wes on how you manage everything on a day to day basis. What role does Wes play in the business and what would be a good way to manage the business as a couple. Great Video! Thanks for sharing!

    What to make for Etsy in 2024 answer-- 2-digital recommendations and 1-kids school / sports items for the wealthy. None of these were the creative art type products that one thinks of when thinking Etsy. From an artists perspective, that's a bummer but it's a sign of where Etsy is going.

      It's interesting how Etsy trends are evolving. That's why adapting to the changing landscape and finding ways to thrive creatively within it is also crucial for sellers.

      @dylanjahraus every day. But I have an autoimmune disease that requires regular medications and bloodwork. Private insurance out of pocket is ridiculously expensive and I'd be spending my profits on that plus paying routine bills including maintenance costs for farm equipment and trucks. If I lived a sanitized life in a big house with lots of room and no other obligations I could probably pull it off. But that's not reality, so I keep the hustle going and make do.

    I really enjoyed having Wes in this video. Fantastic communicator. I would love more content that involved the both of you. It is funny as ask if we want more videos on how to bring your spouse on board. That is exactly what I have been wondering about. My wife is quite concerned, but still supportive of my Esty journey. But she is definitely worried about the future since I am only just making products for my shop that I am hoping to launch within a week or two. Thank you again for this video and really enjoyed Wes' perspective.
