  • How My Husband and I Made $1M on Etsy | Behind the Scenes of a $1M Etsy Shop | Etsy for Beginners
    In this video, my husband and I share our journey on how we built a multi-six figure Etsy shop together, selling $30-50k/month on the platform. We'll take you through our story, from the very first summer in San Diego when we made our first Etsy sale, to the day when we had to scale our business while my husband was deployed on a submarine.
    Welcome, friends! I am Dylan, a multi-six figure Etsy & Shopify seller. My Etsy shop ranks in the 0.1% of Etsy shops worldwide and we reached $1.4M+ in sales in just 6.5 years. I am here to provide value to YOU through tips and tactical advice to start your Etsy shop or to grow your current Etsy shop to the multi-six figure level and beyond! There's no fluff here, only tactics that add to your profit and save you time.
    Book a call with me to discuss your Etsy shop, any struggles, and hear more about how I can help you through my program, Multi-Six Figure Etsy Blueprint and 1:1 coaching! calendly.com/d...

    I think your marriage is even more inspirational than your business success, and I already think your business success is amazing! I wish I could have a partnership like that. So much trust and so much cohesion and family first thinking. Bring him back, I love those "beginning" of the journey stories. Especially ones where it's a little ghetto and scrappy. So relatable and it makes your success seem more attainable from people looking in from the outside who only see the version of you "after" the success. I like how in the beginning you're just like one of us, clueless and at times helpless but you've always had drive

    Thank you for this video! It was great value added for those of us just starting out. It is very lonely. I recently got out of the Marine Corps after 14 years, and my spouse is still active duty at 20 years. I am handling all of the business and two little ones under the age of three. He works at MARSOC so he mainly helps with the kiddos in the evening and on weekends. I appreciate hearing the journey and the “not glam”moments. All I seem to see and hear is “it was a lot of work” but the struggle is skipped over. Thank you for sharing, inspiring and including me and other new business owners in this wild ride and journey. Love seeing hubby too! You are a great team!

    Buy a 2nd laser and set both of them up the same way. Alternate every other week between machines. That way you will always have a machine ready to make parts If one machine goes down. Make a backup plan.

    It was nice to see Wes in this video and to hear how much work and sacrifice it was for you both to acheive the success you have acheived. I am retired and recently opened an Etsy shop. Since this was all new to me I began watching YT videos and have found Dylan’s to be the best in providing a clear-eyed understanding of what it takes to launch and grow an e-commerce venture. This video provided a new perspective for me about the impact on family life and dynamics so I’m sharing it with my wife. I started doing print on demand because, although I’m a retired scientist, I have been a photographer forever with a large collection of digital images. I really enjoy turning my images into shirts, bags, blankets, etc. that I can give to family and friends so selling some of these items seemed like a logical extension. Your video provided a needed reality check so thank you!

      If you're doing this long term your margins can be higher by cutting out the middleman and you can provide a faster turnaround time/compete on speed of fulfillment. But in the short term while you're testing things and getting proof of concept it's great to utilize the POD model.

    Hi Dylan, my partner and I work full time and I’m having a hard time finding balance with running my Etsy shop while working full time. We have a baby on the way.

    • @dylanjahraus
      @dylanjahraus  Рік тому

      To be at the safer side, why not use different names.
      Though it'll be much more better to use your already made brand. It makes your shops look more professional.

    Wish my spouse was supportive, all I get from him is doubt and snide comments of disbelief.

    How do Pple make money off Etsy ? They take 85 per cent in Fees ? It might take you an hour or 2 to say design and list something that is only say $2 or $3 to sell ( digital Download) and you get approx 0.67 cents after fees which even an Hour 0.67 cents per hour or if something sells for $27 you end up with around $2 I honestly cannot see how anyone makes anything on this platform.. I honestly do not believe anyone can profit from Etsy the time and money they put into producing and listing then after the 85 % Etsy Fees and yes it is approx 85 % fee s examples above, you couldnt possibly profit
