#105 “How to Set Up an Etsy Shop Without Overthinking Everything”

If you’re stuck setting up your Etsy shop and haven’t made your first sale yet, this video is for you.

In this episode, Steph breaks down the bare minimum you actually need to open an Etsy shop properly, without overthinking, over-preparing, or faffing with things that don’t matter yet.

This is for complete beginners who feel “busy” but not progressing and want clear permission to stop tweaking and start selling.

You’ll learn:
👉 What you must set up before opening your Etsy shop (and what can wait)
👉 How to avoid setup limbo and perfection paralysis
👉 What a “good enough” Etsy listing actually looks like
👉 The most common beginner mistakes that waste weeks
👉 How to know when your shop is ready to go live

No branding chat.
No social media talk.

Just practical, Etsy-only advice for getting your first product listed and published.
