Etsy AI Policy Breakdown - Start Here First

Etsy's AI policy changes have sellers worried, but could they actually give your shop an advantage? In this episode, I break down the changes, discuss what they mean for handmade sellers, print-on-demand shops, and digital products, and explain why real product photos matter beyond following the rules. We're talking buyer trust, the role of AI mockups, and why a simple video of your product in someone's hands can do more selling than another polished image. If you're wondering what to change in your listings and how to turn that work into an opportunity...this episode is for you.
