The Etsy School for Stationers: The only course that shows you how to sell a successful semi-custom wedding stationery collection on Etsy.

A fully comprehensive program for wedding stationery designers who are ready to get their name out there and finally start booking paying clients.

Listen.

Starting a wedding stationery business from scratch can be complicated, but Etsy makes it easier. And with my 30-day program, you can nail down your niche, start booking clients, and finally get your biz off the ground.*

*Inside this program, I’m going to give you all of my best strategies to building your wedding stationery business on Etsy.

Stationers, Calligraphers & Creatives

Through Etsy, I was able to get my name out there, quit my full time job, and generate a consistent income for my business.

...and there’s no reason that can’t happen for you, too.

With Etsy, you can…

✓ Bring clients to you–not the other way around. Etsy has a built-in audience of over 90+ million shoppers who are ready to buy.

✓ Get your business up and running quickly and efficiently–you don’t have to have a website, know code, or figure out how to register a domain. Instead, you can figure out those things later–when you have the time and money for it.

✓ Save time from trying to drum up excitement on social media–you don’t even need a social media presence to start making sales. (See point one–they have over 90+ million active shoppers right now.)

Let me help.

In The Etsy School for Stationers, I’ll show you exactly how to streamline your Etsy shop with a semi-custom wedding collection, so you can spend less time wondering what the next step is and actually start growing your business.

Hey, there! I’m Valerie–a coastal Alabama wife & mom of two, and I’ve spent the last decade of my life building a six-figure stationery brand.

I’m obsessed with helping stationers like you achieve success in their business through sharing a simple, step-by-step strategy, without the stress and overwhelm of figuring it all out on your own. 

I started Betty Lu Paperie on Etsy in 2013 with zero money for advertising, zero following, and zero business experience. Fast forward to today–after building both Etsy and my own website two successful revenue streams–I’m ready to spill the tea on all the things you need to start your stationery biz on Etsy.
