Course Syllabus
The average Etsy seller earns $35,583 per year. Top sellers earn over $50,000 per month. The difference isn’t just better products — it’s better business operations: professional photos, optimized listings, strategic pricing, and consistent marketing.
Most makers spend 60-70% of their time on business tasks instead of creating. AI can flip that ratio — handling product photography, writing listing descriptions, optimizing SEO tags, scheduling social media, and analyzing pricing — so you spend more time doing what you love: making things.
This course teaches you to build AI into your handmade business operations without compromising what makes your products special. You’ll learn which tools save real time, which create real revenue, and how to stay authentic while running a more professional operation.
The global handicrafts market is worth $740 billion and growing. With 86.6 million active buyers on Etsy alone, the opportunity is enormous — if you can get your products in front of the right people. AI helps you do exactly that.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to sell on Etsy to benefit from this course?
While many examples use Etsy (8.1 million active sellers), the strategies apply to any handmade marketplace — Shopify, Amazon Handmade, craft fairs, and your own website. The AI tools for photography, pricing, and marketing work everywhere.
Will AI replace the handmade aspect of my business?
No. This course teaches AI for business operations — photography, marketing, SEO, customer service — not for making the products themselves. Your craft stays handmade. AI handles the business side that takes time away from creating.
Do I need to disclose AI use on Etsy?
Yes. Etsy's Creativity Standards (effective June 2025) require disclosure of AI tool use. This course covers exactly what to disclose and how, so you stay compliant while benefiting from AI assistance.
I'm not tech-savvy. Can I still use these AI tools?
Absolutely. The tools covered are designed for creators, not developers. Most have drag-and-drop interfaces, and the course walks through each one step by step. If you can post on social media, you can use these tools.
