Intro

In this episode of the Etsy Seller Success podcast, host Dylan Jahraus sits down with Julie from P&W Designs—an SEO and Pinterest strategist with a deep understanding of how search-based platforms like Pinterest can skyrocket visibility for Etsy sellers. Julie shares how her background running a custom paper planner business evolved into helping online entrepreneurs grow with systems, SEO, and intentional Pinterest marketing.

If you’ve ever wondered how to drive traffic to your Etsy listings without relying on social media, this episode is your blueprint.
