Episode notes
Launching After A Push
- Becca Miller launched her Etsy shop on March 8, 2025 after listening to Lizzie's podcast.
- She laughed at how long she waited before finally going for it and hasn't looked back since.
Start Low, Raise Prices With Proof
- Price competitively early to compensate for lack of social proof and gradually raise prices as credibility grows.
- Use volume: estimate needed listings and conversion to hit income goals (e.g., ~800 listings for $1,000/month at current price).
Volume Over Instant Hits
- Expect only a portion of listings to perform; Lizzie estimates ~10% will sell in early stages.
- Plan volume and continual listing creation rather than relying on a few instant hits.
