The Merriweather Council Podcast

Welcome back to season 6 of The Merriweather Council Podcast. ► If you are listening to today’s episode, screenshot and tag us on IG @merriweatherc! If you feel intimidated by the size of your audience and how that is going to impact your successor etsy - this one is for you! If you've been putting off opening shop on Etsy until you have a big audience, don't! I'll explain why. Many would be Etsy sellers, and quite a few already-sellers - feel that they cannot be successful on Etsy because they don't have a large following. There are lots of ways this manifests. It might sound like, "I don't have many instagram followers" or "I don't have a mailing list." Basically it boils down to a general malaise of “I don't have an audience to sell to yet so I’m waiting for that before I open my shop" and / or “I don't have an audience to sell to so i cannot be successful on Etsy." Thankfully though, those thoughts are actually completely incorrect! You do NOT need a big, organic audience in order to have success on Etsy!
