154: How to Cultivate a Hands-Off Etsy Shop

Tue, 25 Feb 2025 02:00:00 -0500

You guys are well aware, at the beginning of each year, I choose a word that I focus on for the year. For this year, it's going to be automated. I want to create even more of a passive type of business than I already have.
Transitioning to this single mom status, I am finding that my time has been cut in half even further. I have less time than I ever have had before. And so this is going to be my year to automate as much as I can, put as much as I can on autopilot. And I felt like this is a great time also to be sharing how I do all of this. So one thing that I want to go over today in this week's episode is how to automate our Etsy shops even more.
