#205: She Made $500K on Etsy Without Design Experience (Here’s How!)

Allison Baggerly Episode 205

What if you could turn your creative curiosity into a side hustle that pays off debt, fits around your kids’ schedules, and maybe even replaces your 9-to-5?

In today’s episode, I’m chatting with Emily Odido-Sutton, a former educator turned full-time Etsy seller, who built a wildly successful print-on-demand business—without any prior design or business experience. Yep, zero.

We talk about:

  • Why she started selling on Etsy with no design background
  • How print-on-demand works (and why it’s perfect for busy moms)
  • The exact moment she realized she could quit her day job
  • What her workdays look like now (spoiler: it’s not 40 hours!)
  • Her $500K in revenue milestone and 30% profit margin

Whether you’re side hustle curious or dreaming of more flexibility and financial freedom, Emily’s story will leave you inspired and thinking, “Wait, maybe I can do this too.”
