These are the things I leaned on as a brand-new seller, the habits and decisions that carried me from burnt-out gym teacher to Top 0.1% Etsy seller, and eventually allowed me to retire before 40. And spoiler alert - they’re not complicated. In fact, they’re things you can start doing today. So if you’ve ever wished someone would just hand you the blueprint and say, “Here’s what actually matters… focus on this, forget the rest,” then this episode is for you. Because I’m walking you through the five non-negotiables that built my Etsy business - and how you can use them to build yours too. xo, Jacqueline | LEARN FROM ME | Etsy Profits PRO - Course + Coaching Program www.jacqueline-butler.com/etsyprofitspro Canva Crash Course www.jacqueline-butler.com/canva Midjourney Beginner's Guide & 130+ Prompts www.jacqueline-butler.com/midjourney | OTHER STEPS | Join My Email List & Get a FREEBIE!www.jacqueline-butler.com/freeguide FREE 5-Step Starter Guide:www.jacqueline-butler.com/starterguide FREE Facebook Community:www.jacqueline-butler.com/freegroup Website:www.jacqueline-butler.com Get In Touch:jb@jacqueline-butler.com Instagram:www.instagram.com/jacquelinebutler.co | MY FAVE RESEARCH TOOLS | eRankhttps://erank.com?fpr=jackie31 Insight Factoryhttps://insightfactory.app/ Alurahttps://www.alura.io/?via=jacqueline ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/six-figure-etsy-seller-sell-on-etsy-digital-products-passive-income-online-business-side-hustle-6888131/episodes/77-what-i-wish-i-knew-before-starting-my-etsy-shop-5-non-negotiables/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/six-figure-etsy-seller-sell-on-etsy-digital-products-passive-income-online-business-side-hustle-6888131/77-what-i-wish-i-knew-before-starting-my-etsy-shop-5-non-negotiables.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
