Preston was one of my very first Etsy students back in 2021—and has since grown his laser engraving shop enough to replace the income from FOUR jobs! This spring, he and his wife challenged themselves to add 1,000 digital laser files to their already successful handmade shop, and the result was an additional $2K/month in passive income. Tune in to hear how they did it and why adding a digital component to your existing Etsy business could be an incredible way to scale without creating more physical work.
