How to be Successful on Etsy in 2025

The new year is here, and Etsy is making some exciting changes to help sellers thrive in 2025! Whether you're just starting or you're a seasoned shop owner, Etsy is doubling down on community, connection, and seller support to help you grow.

This year, Etsy is rolling out new ways for sellers to connect, learn, and succeed—including a stronger emphasis on in-person events, expert-led workshops, and valuable business resources. Here’s what’s in store:

🌟 Etsy’s 2025 Seller-Focused Initiatives

📩 Community Newsletter

Etsy is launching a brand-new Community Newsletter to keep sellers informed about platform updates, marketplace trends, success stories, and actionable shop management tips. (Sounds a little like what we love to share! 😉) The first edition drops tomorrow on the Forums Announcements page—so keep an eye out!

💻 Monthly Virtual Events

Want expert feedback on your listings? Etsy is introducing monthly virtual events, including listing critiques, fireside chats with industry experts, and workshops hosted by successful Etsy sellers. These events are designed to help you refine your shop, optimize listings, and stay ahead of the competition—all from the comfort of your home.

🎤 Expanded Etsy Up Programming

Etsy’s annual Etsy Up event is getting a big boost this year! Expect more diverse content, seller-led discussions, and workshops tailored for shops of all sizes and niches. Etsy plans to build momentum throughout the year—so who knows? Maybe they’ll invite you to participate! Look out for Etsy Up in the fall of 2025.

🤝 More In-Person Meetups

Virtual connections are great, but nothing beats meeting fellow sellers face-to-face. Etsy is continuing to host in-person meetups in cities worldwide, giving sellers the opportunity to network, exchange ideas, and even connect with Etsy staff. This is a great way to find inspiration and support from like-minded creatives in your community.

A Stronger, More Connected Etsy Community

It’s clear that Etsy wants 2025 to be the year of collaboration and community—and we’re here for it! Hopefully, this is just the beginning, and Etsy will continue listening to sellers and rolling out more tools and improvements based on feedback.
