To this day, Christmas through about the end of January are my busiest times of year. I remember sitting on the couch on Christmas Eve, holding my little newborn baby, and my phone dinged- CHA CHING! I got a sale in my Etsy shop! My phone continued CHA-CHING-ing, and seemed like it never stopped. But then, something totally crazy happened. My son was born on the 14th so he was just a few weeks old, it was Christmas, and we were struggling, big time. I also remember being so sad that Christmas. I remember vividly being so stressed out about our situation while in the hospital having our son. At this point I really ramped up improving my shop- better printables, better photos, better listings, and most importantly, teaching myself Etsy SEO. I knew he would get another job, and he did, but we weren’t living as comfortably as we were initially. That really kicked things into high gear. However, everything changed when I was SEVEN months pregnant and my husband was let go from that job. I started out by creating homemaking printables for things like cleaning, budgeting, tracking fitness goals, and more. In the beginning, I wasn’t too worried about the finances, my husband did have a decent job, and we weren’t going to be struggling too much. But I knew I wanted more from Etsy so I started doing market research to see what I could make and sell easily. This was back before I got pregnant, and I did sell one photo print once, to a dentist’s office. I would take the photos and then have them printed by a 3rd party and sent to the customer. At first, my shop had photography prints. I knew in the back of my mind that there was no way I could survive with a job making barely over minimum wage while also paying childcare, so I knew ultimately becoming a mom would bring me home, and I needed a way to help with our household income. I started testing and trying things with Etsy when I found out that I was pregnant with my oldest son. This includes re-selling, re-licensing, re-distributing, giving away for free, or as part of a free giveaway.I also filmed a video for my YouTube channel talking about all of this, which you can watch below if you prefer.
