Why Service-Based Businesses Should Be on Etsy

Ever thought about Etsy and immediately pictured handmade crafts and DIY projects? Same here! That was exactly my thinking—until a conversation with Dylan Jahraus, an Etsy coach who completely flipped the script for me.

Here’s the scoop:

Etsy isn’t just for selling physical goods. If you’re a service-based business owner like me, you’re sitting on a goldmine that you probably didn’t even know existed. Dylan showed me how we can use Etsy to create passive income, build our brands, and tap into a whole new customer base—all without breaking a sweat.

Why Etsy Could Be a Game-Changer for You:

1. Built-In Customer Base ?? Imagine setting up a shop in the busiest mall in town. That’s what Etsy is like! With millions of active buyers already browsing, you don’t have to stress about getting eyes on your services—they’re already there, waiting.
2. Easy Entry ?? Getting started on Etsy is ridiculously simple and won’t cost you much. It’s the perfect place to test out selling service-based products without diving into the deep end. Think of it as dipping your toes in the water before taking the plunge.
3. Earn While You Sleep ?? How about making money while you’re sipping your morning coffee? By turning your expertise into digital products—like templates, guides, or planners—you can create a revenue stream that doesn’t demand your time around the clock. Yes, please!
4. Build Your Brand Fast ? Need to get your name out there? Etsy can fast-track your brand recognition with its powerful search engine. With the right strategy, your services can skyrocket to the top in no time.
5. Perfect for Service Products ?? Got some killer consulting templates or an amazing guide you’ve been using? Etsy is the perfect place to sell those digital goodies. It’s a great way to reach more people and build a recurring income stream.

Dylan’s Top Tips for Etsy Success:

• Productize Your Expertise: Start by turning your existing services into something people can buy. Templates, guides, and worksheets are great starting points.
• Focus on Utility: Forget about trends and focus on creating products that genuinely solve problems. Utility wins over fads every time.
• Master Etsy SEO: Etsy is its own search engine, so learning how to optimize your listings is crucial. It’s different from Google, so be sure to educate yourself to maximize visibility.

My Own Journey into Templates:

Before my conversation with Dylan, I was already in the process of developing a template shop—something I’ve been asked about countless times by my clients. “Sandra, do you have a template for that?” Now, my answer is going to be yes!

I’m excited to share that I’m launching my Digital Flow Template Shop on Etsy. I’ll be testing my concept on Etsy first, and if all goes well, I plan to transition to a dedicated website shop in the future. If you’re as excited as I am, connect with me on Instagram and Facebook to get notified when the shop launches!
