Etsy raised their fees again. Own your audience instead.
Your customers already love you. Stop renting them from Etsy.
You built something on Etsy. Your reviews are real, your products are handmade, your customers keep coming back. And every year, Etsy takes more. Spotlightly gives you a direct line to the customers who already love your work.
The problem with Etsy
Etsy charges 6.5% transaction fee + 3% + $0.25 payment processing + $0.20 per listing + 15% for offsite ads above a threshold. A $50 sale costs you $5-10 in fees before materials or shipping.
What you can do on Spotlightly
Six ways to earn from the audience you already have.
Your own marketplace
List your handmade items directly. 5% to Spotlightly — not 15%.
Subscriber-only drops
New items available to subscribers 48 hours before anyone else.
Digital patterns & files
Knitting patterns, SVG files, crochet guides. 0% cut.
Making-of content
The dyeing process, the glazing session, the craft. Locked for subscribers.
Live craft sessions
Stream yourself making. First dibs on what you're creating.
Direct fan relationships
Front Row messages — your best customers reach you directly.
