paid subscriptions i’ve tried for Etsy, small business, Pinterest, & more. plus my honest thoughts on them. I love trying new courses and memberships. It’s a heap of fun and i love learning from it all. I understand that money can be tight for many of us and these subscriptions can be expensive! So let me be the one to try them out and l give you true, honest reviews. Hopefully it can save you some money and also let work out in what way you might want to spend some of your funds. Interested, or know of, a course/subscription for Etsy, Pinterest, or small business? Let me know about it! (maybe i’ll try it out so you dont have to!)

items these are paid subscription services ive tried for helping me with my small business, https://moonhausstudio.etsy.com and how i focus on Etsy and Pinterest. these are my honest opinions, no affiliates or anything. as always, use your own knowledge and discretion when entering into a paid membership or course. 🫶🏻

expensive and disappointing support. the profit tree owner, eCommHannah from YouTube also encourages a very wild and out there way of running ones etsy store and managing ads on Etsy. approach with caution.
ProfitTree - Automate Your Etsy Profit Tracking, Maximize Profits!
this a slightly more expensive tool for Etsy sellers. has monthly and annual plans. they have the keyword search and the rating/critique of all your listings, like the other tools do, but also have a full AI section that’s kinda cool and interesting....
Insight Factory
definitely try the lowest plan, which still gives you access to the monthly drop of downloadables worth approx 1k (according to CM), plus the money you pay for membership equates to credits that can be used on the site. i think it's a decent deal and...

expensive. awful. the course work is dated. for deaf & hard of hearing folks, not all videos have subtitles/CC.

Etsy Mastery Course
1. big, big expensive. it’s a more credit type system. 2. the all important tags that are provided by the AI program make zero sense. when asking the creator, Dylan Jarahouse, about it the reply was vague. 3. approach with caution.
