Are you working harder than ever, but your sales graph just… won’t budge? 😩
You’re not lazy. You’re not failing.
You might just be stuck in what I call the Plateau of Busywork and it happens to almost every handmade seller at some point.

In this episode, I’ll walk you through how to:
⚠ Spot the 3 most common plateau signs
📉 Understand why your to-do list isn’t growing your business
🧠 Make small, strategic shifts that lead to actual progress
✨ AND stop wasting time on things that feel productive, but don’t move the needle

We’ll cover:
1️⃣ Why “doing more” isn’t the answer
2️⃣ How to focus your energy on what actually converts
3️⃣ The real reason your shop’s stuck and how to get unstuck fast

You’ll hear real-life examples from sellers who were posting daily, making products constantly, or jumping platforms… but still not growing and what changed it all.

💥 Whether you’re in full-on burnout or just feeling stagnant, this episode will give you clarity and confidence on what to fix next.

Plus: I’ll give you a simple homework task to separate busywork from growth work (so you can stop doing the stuff that’s draining your energy).

You’ve poured time into your products, uploaded them to Etsy, and maybe you’re even getting some traffic and a few favourites… but sales? Crickets. 😬

In today’s episode, we’re unpacking the real reason why your Etsy listings aren’t converting and no, it’s not just the algorithm.

I’m breaking down the 3 essential layers of a high-converting listing:
1. Getting found in search (hello, buyer keywords!)
2. Getting clicked (your thumbnail matters more than you think)
3. Getting purchased (because a nice listing isn’t enough)

This is a must-listen if you’ve ever said:
• “My views are up but no one’s buying”
• “I don’t know what else to try”
• “I think I’ve hit a plateau…”

💡 You’ll leave with clear examples, real-life success stories, and quick wins you can action today - even if you’re a total beginner.

🎯 Plus: I’ll share a juicy comparison between two sellers - one stuck in the Etsy spiral, and one who made 3 small changes and tripled her conversion rate.

📌 Homework included (yep, we’re doing this properly):
Choose one listing and optimise it using what you learn today.

Whether you’re new or just feeling stuck, this episode will help you spot what’s actually going wrong and fix it.
