    In today's episode I'm answering the question: do you need an LLC to open an Etsy shop?

  • EP 17. How to Turn Listing Views into Sales | The 3S Listing Framework Part 3
    Jun 2 2026

    In this episode we're wrapping up the 3S Listing Framework with the third and final S — Secure the Sale. Getting views and clicks is a win, but if buyers are landing on your listing and leaving without purchasing, your listing has a dead end somewhere inside it. In this episode I break down the questions every buyer brings to your listing, where those answers need to live, and the specific areas — your images, your description, your shipping price, your delivery window, and your shop's trust signals — that can be the difference between a browser and a buyer.

  • EP 15. How to Get Buyers to Stop and Click on Your Listing | The 3S Listing Framework Part 2
    May 26 2026

    In this episode we're tackling the second S in the 3S Listing Framework — Stop the Scroll. Your SEO can be perfect and your listing can be showing up in search, but if a buyer scrolls right past it, none of that matters. In this episode I break down the three layers that work together to get someone to pause and click: the product, the design, and the image. We talk about what actually triggers an emotional response in a buyer, why using your print provider's default mockup is working against you, and the simple image principles that protect your listing no matter how many times Etsy changes its specs.
