If you're stuck wondering what to sell on Etsy, you’re not alone. One of the biggest reasons new shops struggle is picking the wrong niche — or no niche at all.
Good news?
You don’t need to guess anymore. You can use free tools + AI to find real, profitable product ideas — based on actual Etsy search demand.
Here’s exactly how I do it using Everbee + ChatGPT — and how you can too.
Step 1: Use Everbee to Discover Real Etsy Data
Everbee is a free Chrome extension that lets you see sales data, revenue estimates, and product performance directly inside Etsy listings.
Here’s how to use it:
-
Install Everbee (it’s free).
-
Go to Etsy.com and search a broad product idea like “wall art” or “wedding gift”.
-
Click “Product Analytics” from the Everbee toolbar.
-
Sort by revenue to see what’s actually selling.
🔍 Look for:
-
High revenue + low number of listings
-
Consistent sales over time (not just one viral item)
-
Bestsellers with under 100 reviews (less competition!)
This gives you proof that people are buying in this niche — and it’s not oversaturated yet.
Step 2: Use ChatGPT to Validate and Expand the Idea
Once I find a niche I like, I open ChatGPT and ask:
“Give me 10 product ideas for the [niche] niche that could sell well on Etsy.”
Example prompt:
“Give me 10 digital product ideas for the ‘new baby gift’ niche that could sell well on Etsy.”
ChatGPT will instantly give you:
-
Creative angles
-
Product types (e.g., printable, customizable, bundles)
-
Fresh variations that stand out
I often follow up with:
“Now write Etsy listing titles and tags for idea #4.”
This helps me validate that the niche has SEO potential — and gives me a running start on my listings.
Example Niche: Personalized Nursery Decor
From Everbee:
A best-selling nursery wall art print — low competition, high revenue.
ChatGPT prompt:
“Give me product variations for a personalized nursery wall art product using different styles like boho, minimalist, jungle, etc.”
Boom — now I’ve got niche + product + style variation to build a strong, focused Etsy listing (or even a full shop!).
