I’m curious to hear from other Etsy digital sellers:

What niche are you in, and how long have you been selling on Etsy?

Do you run Etsy ads or any other kind of ads, or do you rely only on organic traffic?

Also, if you feel comfortable sharing: how many total sales do you have, and roughly how much do you make per month from your shop?

I’d love to get a realistic picture of different niches and what’s working for people.

Over the past few months, I’ve noticed several Mormon missionaries approaching people (me as well) on public transport. They are often two young women who start conversations with a big smile and compliments about your appearance or jewelry. They usually approach people who are sitting and they talk with an american accent. They do it very subtly. At first, it genuinely seems like they just want to have a friendly conversation. The interaction begins as casual small talk before suddenly shifting toward questions about your religion and asking questions about the afterlife etc.

It’s very uncomfortable because, by the time they start talking about their religion, you’ve already been chatting with them for a while. Since you’re on public transport, you often can’t just walk away, which can make it difficult to end the interaction without feeling awkward.

So just be aware of them
