Australian beginner looking for guidance on Etsy product research
Hi everyone,
I'm completely new to selling on Etsy and I'm trying to figure out where to start with product research.
I'm based in Australia and would love to build a long-term Etsy business, but I'm feeling overwhelmed by the number of product ideas out there. I don't want to just copy what everyone else is selling. I want to learn how experienced sellers actually find profitable product opportunities.
A few questions I have:
- How do you research products before deciding what to sell?
- What tools or websites do you use for product hunting?
- Is it better to focus on digital products, handmade items, or print-on-demand as a beginner?
- Does being based in Australia make any difference when choosing products?
- What mistakes should beginners avoid when selecting their first product?
I'd really appreciate any advice, resources, YouTube channels, or personal experiences you can share. My goal is to learn the right way rather than chasing trends blindly.
Thanks in advance!
