What’s up & what’s down

Etsy stock took a hit when company leadership admitted it expects growth to slow following the peak during the pandemic, but it’s trajectory continues to make it a compelling stock.

A Crash Course to Etsy Taxes & Accounting

If you’re a new shop that’s been following our Etsy 101 series, then we bet you’re well on your way to success by now. And since your shop is well underway, we thought we’d hit you with the reality of taxes 👊 We know, fun. But a 101 series wouldn’t be complete without covering Etsy taxes and accounting. It’s an important business task to get right, but not everyone’s favorite topic for sure. Relax though, we’re not going too deep on these.

Take the plunge, take the poll

Recently on the Jam, we shared some important things you should consider before taking the plunge to Etsy full-time. It’s exciting (and a little nerve wracking), and it can be such a rewarding experience! So if you’ve recently taken the plunge, we’d love to hear from you! Tell us how it’s working out, the good and the bad (but we hope it’s mostly all good). If you’re still on the fence, you might be asking yourself “when is the right time to start a small business?” The answer will be a little different for everyone and that’s okay.

What’s Trending on Pinterest?

478 million people use Pinterest every month to find ideas and inspire their next purchase. And if your product listings are trending in Pinterest search, their next purchase just might be from your shop! As we make our way into summer, expect to see more outdoor trends and ways to beat the heat. With Marmalead, you can easily see which keywords are HOT and which ones are on the rise! For more on Pinterest trends, head on over to marmalead.com/app.

What’s HOT 🔥

What’s hot is what’s recent! You can see a trend continuing in cement crafts and outdoor planters, along with bags, summer nails, and hair scarfs.

What’s on the Rise? ☝

What’s on the rise is showing consistent growth over time! You can see trends continue to rise with clay, jewelry, and prom shoes.

Gaze into Pinterest’s Crystal Ball

If we had a crystal ball, we wouldn’t use it to ruin Hill Valley like Biff from Back to the Future Part II… Nope! Instead, we might use it to find out the ideas of tomorrow… for profit. And that’s not like Biff at all! Pinterest boasts that 8 out of 10 of their predictions came true in 2020. So if their predictions for 2021 are just as close, there’s a good chance you could start to see some of these predictions trend over into current fashion, weddings, handmade products, and more!
