what to sell on Etsy

15 months ago I opened a new Etsy shop. It has been one of my favorite and most successful side hustles in My Income Journey. I highly recommend starting an Etsy shop if you are looking to make money from home. There is very little upfront cost, you can get started right away, and the earning potential is huge! I spend very little time on my Etsy shop, but I’ve had almost 600 sales since opening just over a year ago. Whenever I recommend opening an Etsy shop to my friends and income journey members, typically the first question I get asked is, “What would I sell?” People think they have to be “crafty” or have some awesome product in mind already, but that’s not true. There are millions of items for sale from supplies to digital products to crafts to vintage and more!

I am definitely NOT a crafty person, but I have successfully made money from two Etsy shops. If you’re ready and excited about selling on Etsy, but don’t have any idea what to sell, here is a list of 100 ideas to get you thinking! Once you’ve figured out your first product idea, read my tutorial “How to Start an Etsy Shop Step by Step Tutorial“. Enjoy being a business owner, making money from home, and improving your income journey!
