Learn Etsy from a Top 1% Seller (Udemy.com)

Etsy Marketing & SEO, business, branding and more! Take your Etsy shop to the next level!

Created by: Lara Roxana Popa

Last updated May 2023

Our take

Based on the ratings of 691 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in May 2023. No course pays to be reviewed.

Lara Roxana Popa teaches this short Etsy course, about 2.9 hours across 29 lectures in eight sections. She presents herself as a top 1% seller, and the syllabus runs from branding and shop setup through marketing, SEO, Etsy Ads and bringing buyers back. A practice lesson walks through building a printable quote listing from scratch. It is pitched at people opening a shop or stuck early on, not at experienced sellers.

Reviewers like Lara's energy and the practical tips, and one says the tag advice was new to them. Of 691 ratings, 427 are five stars. The complaints are consistent too. Lower reviews call it basic, repetitive and light on technical detail, and some established sellers say they found most of it on YouTube. One beginner wanted more examples and a second course on listings.

The last update was May 2023, so Etsy's search and ad screens may have moved on since. Treat any algorithm specifics with some caution. For a newcomer, it is a quick, encouraging start that about 3,500 students have taken. If you already sell, skip it. If you want real SEO depth, plan to add another resource afterward.

Best forNew Etsy sellers who want a friendly walkthrough of shop setup, branding and tags before paying for deeper training.
Skip it ifYou already run an Etsy shop and want advanced SEO or ad tactics. Established sellers found it too basic.

Pros

  • Covers the full path from branding and shop setup to SEO, ads and repeat buyers
  • Includes a title and description template plus a practice lesson building a printable listing
  • Lara's energy keeps a short course engaging, and one reviewer praised her responsive support
  • At 2.9 hours, a new seller can finish it in a weekend and start applying it

Cons

  • Established sellers call it basic and say most of it is free on YouTube
  • Some reviewers found it repetitive and light on technical SEO detail
  • Last updated May 2023, so Etsy interface and ad details may be dated
Lara's knowledge is evident, and her enthusiasm is infectious. The course was full of insider tips I know I'll need as I'm setting up my store.

Labeled All Levels, but it really suits beginners. No experience is needed, and it fits people just opening a shop.

Lara Roxana Popa

Hi! I'm Lara and I feel that the best word to describe myself is "storyteller". Why? Because I love telling stories through my brand and art. I could call myself an actress, writer, entrepreneur, Etsy seller, marketer and so many things, but my true core is storytelling. This is the key to great branding.

I built a fashion brand in the last 6 years that reached 7 figures. I am a top 1% Etsy seller and I would love to share my knowledge now with you. I would love to take you on an exciting journey through my courses and to explore together the essence of branding and how to become successful in everything that you do.

I want to help you to reach your full potential in your own business and learn from my own mistakes and journey. My first course is about Etsy and how to reach the top. I hope you enjoy it and feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

I am so happy to be here and share my experience as I truly believe in paying it forward. Let's grow together and make the best out of everything!

Ms. Lara was absolutely excellent! Her information, her willingness to share her secrets, her enthusiasm, her professionalism, her happiness, and much more, made her course the most valuable course I have purchased on Udemy. Please do not remove her course if she does not constantly update it. It is perfect, so leave it alone! Everyone needs to see this course if they want to learn about Etsy -- and personal development!

By Phil Hudson on 2/2/2022

At first, I wasn't sure if this course would be worth it, but ultimately I was surprised at the insights provided by the creator. Not only do they clearly have a strong hold on how to list products but they provide valuable insights into branding, consumer behavior, search engine optimization in SEO, and how to use promotions to increase sales. I picked up a handful of highly valuable tips and techniques in the course that I am excited to implement and test this week.

By Ömer Balık on 8/16/2021

I've already a store on ETSY since november of 2020. I bought this course to learn some tricks on etsy but ı'm disappointed about that . There was nothing exciting and too much repetition. I think you can find %95 of this course from youtube and other sites. But ı love the unstructer's passion of teaching something. This course will not take you top 1 but it will help beginners to understand etsy.

By Helen Froling on 5/26/2021

Lara makes learning Etsy fun. I have launched one product on Etsy and before launching any more I wanted to know if I was doing it correctly. Well, no I was not. I have learned how to do it the right way. Learning about SEO, tags, title and how to list. These rules will be very valuable moving forward with my Etsy store. You will also learn some great branding tips. I recommend Lara's course 100%! Oh, and her Etsy store is amazing!

By Cindi Clinton on 4/11/2021

Lara is a very entertaining speaker. Despite her heavy accent, she is *very* easy to understand and that really saying something because I am hearing impaired. There wasn't one part of her course that I couldn't understand. This course is very thorough and gives plenty of examples for what she's talking about it. If I was confused about anything, it was always cleared up in another section. If Lara did more courses that were relevant to my needs, I would absolutely take them — no question. I'm happy I have this course to refer back to on my Etsy journey. You can see why Lara's shop is in the top 1%. She's really a force to be reckoned with. I hope to one day find similar success in my own niche!

By Carmen Lee on 3/2/2021

Wow!! I have thoroughly enjoyed this course, Lara is a wonderful tutor and beautiful presence, the content is excellent and I feel confident I've learnt from the best here. I actually didn't come to Udemy looking for this course but I'm so glad I found it. My personality is the opposite of Lara's but I have enjoyed the energy and vibrancy and inspiration to start the process of creating my Etsy store. Thank you Lara from New Zealand x

By Ashleigh Smith on 2/8/2021

Fantastic class. I've had my Etsy shop for about a year and a half and it brought up many things I hadn't even thought of. It does get a little repetitive and confusing in some areas where she'll start talking about something like SEO early on and then when you get to the actual SEO section it feels like you've already heard most of it. But it does expound quite a bit even on those topics. 100% worth a watch for anyone even vaguely interested in starting an Etsy shop!

By Ika Prasetio on 2/2/2021

I was looking for some help to fix my Etsy shop when I came across Lara's course. I am so glad that I got this course. Lara explains everything very clearly. She shares lots of invaluable tips. She replies to messages very quickly too, which was a delight! Overall, this course is great for beginners to find the ins and outs of Etsy. I would definitely recommend this course to my friends, it's worth getting!

By Vaishnavi Sahu on 12/17/2020

I loved this course. Lara is quite engaging and it is fun to watch and learn. However, there is something I found lacking after I repeated her course again. She has been really informative with adding tags and titles but kinda separately. I was just waiting to see the exact tags she'll use as an example and then use them to make a title.

By Aisha Wynter on 9/21/2020

I have mixed feelings about this course, I really wanted to love it. I found Lara to be very engaging and fun so it definitely wasn't a bore to watch. However, I also felt like the course was lacking in depth. I can't quite put my finger on it but it feels like I will need another course that really goes into more details on creating listings and tackling SEO. Maybe for a true beginner like me, more examples would have been helpful. Lara is a great motivator and had tons of common sense advice so that's a bonus.
