Welcome back to eCommerce Fastlane! I’m Steve Hutt, and today we’re diving into something that honestly blew my mind during our conversation.

Picture this: 95 million active buyers actively searching for unique products, built-in traffic you don’t have to pay for, and a platform where most successful sellers never touch ads. Sounds too good to be true? That’s exactly what I thought about Etsy before talking with today’s guest.

I’m chatting with Dylan Jahraus, who built a million-dollar Etsy shop, then pivoted to teaching others how to do the same. She’s the founder of The Ultimate Etsy Ecourse and created etSEO, an AI tool that takes the guesswork out of Etsy SEO. But here’s what really caught my attention—Dylan shows Shopify store owners how to use Etsy as their secret weapon for free traffic and customer research.

If you’ve been burning cash on ads or struggling to find new customers, this conversation might just change how you think about growing your business.
