The Best Skool Community
I would highly recommend Etsy Mentor to anyone who is looking to level up their POD journey. George is highly knowledgeable AND accessible. He understands the dynamics of an Etsy/Shopify store and how to market it to the right demographics. He is a no BS, straightforward kind of mentor, which is helpful for those of us who don't have time to weed through the all the fluff. The community is also amazing. It is one big family who help each other succeed. There are no big egos in the group, and everyone is extremely supportive of each other. All successes are celebrated and when someone has a difficult day or is struggling, the group is there to lift them up. If you are looking to join a skool community, this is the one..

Best Skool Community For Etsy Sellers and More
I would highly recommend Etsy Mentor on Skool for anyone wanting to be successful on Etsy (or any online seller's platform, for that matter). George is 100% real and honest (sometimes brutally honest!) with you and gives everything he can to help me succeed. There are over 36 hours of training videos within the course, all designed to tackle every aspect of running an online shop (digital, POD, and handmade). Working with George and being a part of this supportive community has changed my life. And that's just it- its not just George alone... It's the active community, too. We hold one another accountable, celebrate wins together, support one another when times are rough, help answer questions by sharing experiences- you name it, this community has been there for me 100%. You won't find a better community on Skool, as far as I'm concerned.

A great space to share and grow
It is great to have a space to share what we are growing and so much support from Shannon to do so. I have had people join my group, grab a freebie and join a collaboration from my engagement in this group and the recent 24 Mayhem Event was awesome ☺️

I love Skool Classifieds because it feels like a real family genuinely interested in helping Skool community owners connect with each other to grow and stay in the stretch. None of this would be possible without the effort of Shannon Boyer, the community creator. The networking and visibility opportunities are honest and bountiful. So are the 24 hour Mayhem events! Lots of practice getting visible here. Thanks to Shannon❤

This community is the best example of biz owners small, large and everything inbetween still feeling human. During May Mayhem 24hrs promotional posts I had so many lovely comments on my posts and really made me feel seen and confirmed I am on the right path with my new community. Shannon is always so supportive and really connects owners who have things in common.
