#102 - My 2026 Etsy Profit Playbook: How Six-Figure Shops Are Actually Built (Without Burnout)

If you’re stuck around £100–£2k a month on Etsy and your current plan is
“maybe I just need more products”…

we need to talk.

In this episode, I’m breaking down my 2026 Etsy profit playbook and how six-figure Etsy shops are actually built - quietly, calmly, and without burning yourself into the ground.

This isn’t hustle advice.

It’s structure, clarity, and knowing what actually moves the needle.

We’ll cover:
👉Why more products usually stall growth (not scale it)
👉The difference between niche depth and niche hopping
👉How six-figure shops design product ranges for repeat buyers
👉Why “Reels and pray” is not a business model
👉Pricing in a way that supports a real human life
👉The systems that replace panic posting and guessing

If your shop feels busy but not profitable, this episode is probably going to feel a bit personal - in a helpful way.

I’m Steph. I’ve been selling and coaching handmade businesses since 2016, and I’ve seen exactly where sellers get stuck… and what actually helps them break through.
