Good quality but expensive and can fail - $8000 for 6 months
Hi, Dylan's course has lots and lots of content - enough to keep you busy. It goes into lots of stuff you probably didn't think about/didn't dare do (Facebook, Instagram, scaling...) The coaches are great - no complaints. Beware however that things might not work for you. I was massively too optimistic at the start hence signed up immediately. I did the course for 6 months and didn't make one single sale. I had a shop that wasn't doing well and I changed the name and even opened a new shop thinking that would help. Nothing. To be fair to them, I didn't put as many hours per day as I probably should have, though they talk about people doing the course only a couple of hours a day and still succeeding. You always think if only I do more it will work, but the vast majority or Etsy shops fail don't forget. Beware when you enroll - high pressure selling of the course. Always a bad sign and my fault for signing right away. You can get carried away with hope! Make sure: YOU KNOW THE EXACT COST BEFORE SIGNING! Don't sign right away. Life lesson - NEVER sign anything under any circumstances (not just talking about this course) without taking a few days to think about it first, looking at the cost etc. My bad for not doing that. If a salesman says there's a special "sign now" offer - that's actually a bad sign! Like they're saying - no need to think about this too much, just put your signature here! Of all the splurge of (pretty good quality) videos they have, the only thing that really seems to matter on Etsy is knowing how to pick a winner. I seem to be naturally not good at that, though I spent a couple of years trying. That's in fact the only thing that mattered - not all the huge amounts of tips for making the site and listings better. Tip: don't think getting lots of listings in your shop is the answer. If you cant't make 20 listings sell, you won't make 2000 sell. Cost me $8000 or so - they spread it over the year. Get 6 months course - where you can ask questions and get an answer in 24 hours - useful. Also many live videos about different subjects where you can post questions. You certainly can't call this a scam - there's genuinely lots of videos and help. If you want one-to-one videos you pay extra - as I did. Expensive. What you're not going to get (perhaps not surprisingly) is taking you by the hand and saying "ok your shop is failing, lets see why". Coaches are ever optimistic but realist. If you've already signed up - my tip is do exactly as the coaches say and be asking lots of questions. All the best if you're on the course.
