Hello, my name is Lizzie Smiley. I am passionate about helping people connect with their calling and providing them with the tools they need to overcome roadblocks and excuses. My goal is to help you cultivate the life you dream about.
If you want to launch, grow, pivot, or scale your Etsy shop, or if you have always wanted to develop the mindset and skills to run your own business, then you are in the right place.
My entrepreneurial spirit has been strong since my very first lemonade stand. Today, I am a work-at-home mom managing multiple online companies and a full-time Etsy shop, all while being present for my kids and their important milestones.
On my podcast, "How to Sell Your Stuff on Etsy," I discuss everything related to business, mindset, Etsy, creativity, and customer engagement. There is plenty of room for you at this table, so join me as I share everything I know.
Last week's episode, titled "How to Start an Etsy Shop in 2026 the Right Way," received fantastic feedback. Surprisingly, even advanced sellers found it motivating and helpful for refocusing their efforts. If you need motivation or want to refocus, I highly recommend listening to that episode.
Next week, I will host a roundtable episode with Becca and Preston, discussing "What We Wish We Knew Before We Launched Our Etsy Shops." Becca specializes in digital products, and Preston creates handmade items. This episode promises to be insightful and valuable.
Over the past year, I have worked closely with many sellers in my coaching group, helping them achieve impressive milestones such as $1,500 a month or 2,000 sales within a few months. While some sellers experience breakout success quickly, this is not the norm. I focus on practical advice and setting healthy expectations for the timeline of success.
I have developed a free 36-minute training called "How to Blow Up Your Etsy Shop," where I teach the principle that mega sellers use to grow their shops rapidly. This principle has been tested with new sellers in my coaching group, resulting in amazing testimonials and life-changing results, including replacing full-time incomes and funding entire Christmases.
This training is available to everyone for free, and you can watch it anytime. It is packed with valuable insights that can help you scale your Etsy shop faster.
In December, I wrote an ebook titled "How to Earn Your First $10,000 on Etsy" (or "First 10K" for short). Many of you expressed a preference for reading over video content, wanting a physical book to highlight and make notes in. This ebook compiles all my best advice and strategies to help you reach your first significant milestone on Etsy.
Running a successful Etsy shop requires a combination of mindset, consistency, strategic planning, and leveraging the right tools and trends. Whether you are just starting or looking to scale, there are proven methods to help you achieve your goals.
I invite you to explore my free training and ebook to gain deeper insights and practical steps to grow your Etsy business. Remember, there is plenty of room at this table, and I am here to support you every step of the way.
Let's kick those roadblocks and excuses out the door and cultivate the life you dream about!
