On this podcast we're joined by Cassiy Johnson who in two years has increased her sales to $500K. Cassiy lost her job in 2020 and decided to open up an Etsy store to sell print on demand products. With the help of a YouTube video, she opened her store within 24 hours and saw immediate success, as her mother-in-law purchased a product, and it sparked the algorithm to show it to more people.The Etsy Seller Podcast is hosted by Cody McGuffie, CEO and founder of EverBee.
