Built from more than a decade in the wedding stationery industry—and over $1 million in Etsy sales.

But turning that talent into a profitable Etsy shop can feel like an entirely different skill set.
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.
Maybe you have wondered…
What products should I sell first?
How many listings do I actually need?
How do I stand out when Etsy already feels saturated?
Am I pricing my work high enough to make a profit?
How do I create professional listings without spending hours on every one?
What happens after someone places an order?
You could spend years piecing together answers from podcasts, YouTube videos, outdated blog posts, and expensive trial and error.
I know—because that is how I built my first Etsy shop.
The Etsy School for Stationers gives you the stationery-specific system I wish I had from the beginning.
Imagine booking new clients every week on Etsy...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.
