💛 A quick heads up — this episode includes a paid sponsor mention.

Q4 is the biggest sales opportunity of the year on Etsy — but the sellers who win it aren't the ones who scramble in October. In this episode, I'm walking you through a step-by-step Q4 planning timeline starting in July, the tips that will set your shop up to convert during the holiday rush, and the one habit that separates the sellers who grow every year from the ones who stay stuck wondering why it isn't working.

A quick heads up — this episode includes a paid sponsor mention.

Could an Etsy shop earning $200–$1,000 per month be worth more than you realize? In this episode, Cody and I discuss the surprising power of passive income, investing, and the role Etsy can play in building long-term wealth. Drawing from his FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) background and his new book Retire by 30, Cody explains why you don't need a six-figure Etsy shop to change your financial future—and how even modest monthly profits can create meaningful freedom over time.
