6 Thriving Etsy Shops That Are Less Than One Year Old

Etsy has served as a global marketplace for creative sellers and buyers since 2005. Since then, billions of dollars of transactions have taken place on the platform. In 2014, Etsy surpassed a major milestone breaking the $1 billion dollar mark for annual “gross merchandise sales” (GMS). By 2019, the annual GMS crossed the $4 billion dollar threshold. 

But as many of you know, just because the platform is huge doesn’t mean that you’ll generate an income right away (or ever) by selling your products there. There are tons of factors that impact your success on Etsy and there’s no set timeframe for when you launch your shop to when you’ll make that first sale. Many sellers experiment with everything from learning SEO to creating an inviting storefront for months before they get a sale. 

So does that mean that the only successful Etsy shops are the ones that have been around for years? Not at all. There are stores that haven’t even celebrated their one-year Etsy anniversary yet that are great shops with a steady income stream. Anything is possible, and that’s why we want to share theses beautiful shops with you. We hope they inspire you to keep going, even if you’ve been trying for a while to establish yourself on Etsy.
