In this episode, 7-figure Etsy seller George McConnell joins me to reveal his “Q4 AI Formula” for beating the Etsy slowdown. We discuss his Black Friday playbook (and why he thinks “Cyber Monday Sucks”), and he shares his secret AI mockup strategy to 5x your product’s “perceived value” (how he charges $100 for a POD item).

Most importantly, George gives a critical Q4 warning about why you must “stop touching your listings,” even if Etsy is telling you to.
