I really need to step up and join your group so that I can actually start a shop and stop being scared dragging my feet. I know you are it for me ! Love love your podcast and what you give to people ! Look forward to it always .

My Bible
I started listening to this podcast last June while driving back and forth between Missouri and Texas. I must have listened to hours and hours of episodes before I ever re-opened my Etsy shop. (Opened 15.5 years ago and never listed 1 thing. š¤£) In August , I finally did it ā and honestly, I donāt think I would have without Lizzyās encouragement.
She always says thereās room at the table for all of us on Etsy. For some reason, that simple phrase gave me permission to believe there was room for me, too.
Since opening in August, Iāve made 1,038 sales. I consistently average around $50 a day ā even outside the holidays. Every strategy Iāve implemented and every mindset shift Iāve made came from this podcast.
I use her episodes like I use my Bible. Whenever Iām stuck, discouraged, or trying to figure something out, I go find the episode that fits and listen again ā kind of like turning to something steady when you need guidance. Thereās always something practical and encouraging there.
This podcast didnāt just help my shop ā it changed how I think about whatās possible for my future. It gave me hope for retirement income and the confidence to finally start!
Congratulations on 1 million downloads. ā¤ļøYouāve probably changed more lives than you even realize ā mine is definitely one of them.

Lizzie Knows Whatās Up!
Absolutely IN-LOVE with this podcast š Lizzie gives such wonderful advice with easy bite-sized steps. Listening to success stories is super inspiring, but hearing how Lizzie wraps it up with a little bow and all her nuggets of wisdom has helped me so so much!

Etsy People! Listen to Lizzie!
Lizzieās podcast, How to Sell Your Stuff on Etsy, is hands down one of the best resources out there for anyone who wants to open an Etsy shop or actually start getting real sales. She is energetic, spunky, positive, and completely motivating. Every episode makes me want to keep going and take action.
Itās so clear that sheās deeply passionate about what she does. Thereās an honesty and authenticity in the way she teaches that makes you feel comfortable and capable ā like you can actually do this. Sheās incredibly generous with her knowledge and feedback, and that kind of transparency means everything in the online business world.
Thank you, Lizzie, for everything you pour into this community. It truly makes a difference.

Iāve Learned So Much From Lizzie!
I love Lizzieās content and her as a person! I love all of her guests and how knowledgeable they are in so many different areas. Love when Becca joins her too!

lovely, encouraging and she tells the truth š¤
I have listened to Lizzieās podcast since the beginning.
I followed her advice and listened to the stories as encouragement and PROOF that I too can, and did, scale a digital product shop to over 11,000+ sales š¤
I illustrate, AND I see the truth in why and how she coachās some AI advice. Sheās looking out for the little sellers, who might not be able to illustrate. Look she doesnāt get to pick the market demand, or how Etsy operates but she can prepare the best she can! āļøāļøāļøāļøāļø

Should be called āHow to Design Stuff with AIā
I want to like this podcast so bad. Iāve been listening to it for 6 months or so, but itās just not quite there for me. I thought this would be a podcast about how to sell on Etsy, not how to use AI. Every other episode is about how to make a ton of designs on AI really quick. It feels inauthentic and is the reason so many people are turning away from shopping on Etsy. Additionally, a lot of the advice and success claims feel inflated.

Not for artists
Super disappointed that this turned out to be yet another seller peddling AI as *creativity* when itās theft of others work. Thanks for ruining Etsy

My favorite podcast
Lizzie is passionate about Etsy and sharing all of her knowledge, tips and tricks for success. She has a never ending thirst for learning and testing new ideas and technology and isnāt afraid to share what works and what doesnāt. Sheās smart, kind, positive and supportive. She always has wonderful guests and gets so excited to bring their stories to us each week. She fully believes that if she can do it, so can everyone else. I love her energy, honesty and enthusiasm. This is by far my favorite podcast.

Lizzie is like no other
I found Lizzie from another podcast that I listen to and I was instantly drawn to her so I started listening to her podcast. She has changed everything for me, I was struggling to figure Etsy out, and even though I had taken other courses I was still lost and honestly ready to just throw in the towel. I kept hearing her talk about the Trendspotting membership, so I thought Iāll give it one more try. I love everything about it, but I still needed more, so I tried ok a leap of faith in Lizzie and I joined her coaching group and then EVERYTHING changed for me, I have learned so much, I have taken her advice from the podcast, the Trendspotting membership, the coaching group, and Lizzie herself to slowly but wisely grow my Etsy shop. She have big plans for the future and I know with Lizzieās help I will continue to grow and reach my goals!
I love my new friend, and highly recommend anything she offers, itās absolute gold!

Love!
Lizzieās enthusiasm is contagiousā¦I walk away from each episode with the confidence to take over the world :) Even listening to episodes that may not directly relate to what I make & how I sell on Etsy are extremely valuable. Thereās always a nugget of wisdom to glean and it gets my brain churning in new ways. Thank you, Lizzie - we appreciate you!

Easy and Digestible
Thank you Lizzie for breaking down Etsy in such easy and digestible pieces. Iāve listened to a few Etsy āexpertsā but it wasnāt until I heard your episodes that I finally got the lightbulb š” moment and I understand it. Thank you!

You donāt have to be an Etsy seller to listen!
I heard Lizzie on the Goal Digger Podcast and just loved her enthusiasm and spark! As a business owner and new podcaster, I have learned so much from Lizzie about how to provide content that truly serves listeners in an authentic way that brings joy. Keep it up Lizzie Smiley!

On a listening BINGE!
I donāt normally leave reviews for anything, and this is the first review I leave for a podcast. I found Lizzie on Tuesday? Wednesday? The week of Thanksgiving and WOW! Lizzie offers lots of great information. Listening to her is like having a conversation with a friend. She is so real. She is funny, friendly, confident, and FULL of knowledge. I recently purchased her Weekly Etsy Trendspotting. Very easy to use and follow along. Thank you for everything you offer.

Etsy holiday trend report 2024-ā¤ļøAwesome!!!
I am a 51 yr.-old-woman, thinking about starting POD, and Lizzy, you just brought my confidence back. It feels like you are willing to share important info and keep nothing to yourself, and even though English is my second language, I got 99% of it all, you are so clear about everything. So glad I found you and will be following you everywhere I can so that I can start out sooner than later! A big thank you!!ā¤ļø Maria.

$37 a month for a membership for advice and knowledge
I absolutely love this podcast, but the reason Iām putting 4 stars is because the membership monthly price of $37 is wild. Thatās three times the price of my gym membership, and a wild amount higher than any recurring membership I would ever have for advice. If she lowered it, Iād be happy to pay. But this is too much.

Shes one of myā¦5 podcasts that I listen to on apple podcasts about Etsy. Go listen to the Etsy FAQ episode, that was my first one by her and Iāve listened to it many times and itās very insightful. Thanks Lizzie! Hugs from Oregon!

The best podcast to help you grow your Etsy shop
Between YouTube, Spotify and Apple Podcasts, Lizzie has the most information to help you grow your Etsy shop. I spent over $1000 on a program to teach me how to sell on Etsy, and everything that was covered in that course, Lizzie shares on her podcast FOR FREE. If you want to grow your shop, listen to Lizzie! Her energy is contagious and the information she shares in impeccably invaluable. She wants to see you succeed just as much as you do.

Overdue review
I recently came across Lizzie while searching for podcasts that would help me navigate the world of Etsy and e-commerce. I recently started a small woodworking business where I build custom frames and float frames. Iāve been a woodworker for years, but the e-commerce world outside of selling on eBay was new. I listened to some other podcasts on the subject before I found Lizzie and many were infomercials that never really provided value. They would provide just enough info to let you know itās important, but save the meat for the paid program they are selling. Iām not mad at them for selling, but would often feel manipulated for investing my time in their promises. Lizzie, however, is none of these things. Each podcast is valuable and informative. While she does have products she sells and they are promoted, itās never done in a way that feels like someone trying to sell me a timeshare. In fact, I recently purchased her course and the updated modules are fantastic. She understands the value of community and relationship, which is evident with her guests, on her Facebook group, and even when sheās just talking into the mic. Sheās very authentic and I believe she cares about helping those of us that are trying to start in e-commerce or get better at it. The guests she brings on really add value and she definitely has a talent for interviewing. I often feel like we are sitting around the table having a chat. Thank you!
