Or, you might have a knack for creating unique, printable party supplies that people can print at home. You’re most likely to have a successful shop if you solve a problem for the people in your target audience.įor example, maybe you have an idea for a new way to keep track of wedding plans and you create a planner to help people plan a wedding on a shoestring budget or to do a Zoom wedding. Once you’ve thought about what you know how to do or can learn how to do, as well as what you love to do, you can move to the next step. It’s also worth noting that working on something you love can keep you motivated to create new products to sell. These things can point in the direction of a niche.


The same is true of your passions: what do you love? You might have a passion for vintage cars, gardening, or golden retrievers. (Don’t worry, there are options if you don’t already have a crafty passion.) If you’re someone who already knows how to create one-of-a-kind designs for party supplies, then that’s a great place to start. The first step is to start with things you already know how to make. The question, then, is what can you do to find one or more profitable niches, so that you can join the ranks of successful Etsy sellers? The good news is that the steps required are simple and anyone can do it. After all, if you aren’t sure that there’s an audience for the products you’re creating, you can’t be sure that your Etsy shop will be a success. Selling on Etsy is convenient and profitable – but only if you know how to identify the most popular niches.
