The Handmade Profit Filter

Run your product through 5 simple stages and find out in under an hour whether it's built to be profitable and pay you a real income, the same way top sellers do before launching anything new.

Every single day, I see talented handmade sellers underpricing their products and wondering why their bank account never reflects the hours they put in. The Profit Filter fixes that. It shows you whether your product is actually built to pay you, or never will.

Most handmade products fail one of 5 tests. The Profit Filter runs your product through all of them in under an hour.

Five years ago

I built a handmade business that looked like it was working. I was getting orders. Customers were happy. My products looked good. From the outside, everything seemed fine. Then I looked at the numbers. After materials, fees, and time, I was earning about £4.80 ($6) an hour.

Top 0.3% of Etsy sellers in the UK. Top 2% globally. (Verified via eRank.)

I wasn't in the bottom of the pack. I was at the top. And I was still earning less than the teenager stacking shelves at a supermarket.

What happened when I chose the right product

I didn’t suddenly become better at marketing and I didn’t post more. I didn’t change my niche either.

I chose a product that was built to pay. That’s the difference the right product makes. And it’s the part most sellers never fix.

Now I am earning about £36.64 an hour, and I get consistent sales in my Etsy shop.

246 orders. £5,700+ revenue. 5.4% conversion rate. Traffic up 62%.

Imagine this were your shop

For a moment, picture your handmade business six months from now.

You know exactly what you're charging and why. The prices feel right. Buyers don't flinch. The reviews keep coming.

You've stopped apologising for what your work is worth. You've stopped wondering whether handmade would ever pay you properly.

Because now you have the answer. You picked a product that can pay you. You priced it as it deserves. And the maths finally works.

That's what happens when you stop guessing and start running every product idea through a filter that tells you whether it's profitable.

I've done it. The numbers above are mine.

The only question left is whether your next product is the one that finally pays you, or another year of hoping.

What handmade sellers say after running their products through the Filter

Sellers are running their products through the Filter and seeing the answer they've been missing for years. Here's what they're saying.

Emma ran a product idea through the Filter. It scored her an income of £59.74/hr at a 56.9% margin. She launched it instead of the three other ideas she'd been sitting on

I know what you're thinking

"I've tried courses before, none of them worked."

Most teach you to post more or value yourself.

The real fix is choosing a product that can actually pay you. (And the Filter gives you that answer in minutes, not 12 weeks.)

"My niche is different, this won't work for my products."

It works on the same five questions for every handmade product.

The framework is universal. The verdict is yours.

I don't have time for another big project.

The Filter gives you a clear verdict in under an hour.

And the 30-day plan is built for sellers already running a shop, not sellers with empty calendars.

What if pricing properly kills my sales?

That story cost me four years.

The Filter shows you whether your product can sustain proper pricing before you change anything. (So you decide with data, not fear.)

I should be able to figure this out myself.

I tried for four years.

A tool that takes an hour and saves you the same isn't cheating, it's just smarter.

"What if it still doesn't work for me?"

You get 7 days to try it.

If it doesn't give you a clear, honest verdict, I'll refund every penny. (No forms. No awkwardness.)

Why this is easier than what you've been doing

You've been working harder, posting more, and hoping the maths will catch up.

The Profit Filter does it the other way round.

It checks the maths first. So one hour saves you months on a product that was never going to pay you.

Here's exactly how the Filter works

A simple 5-stage tool that scores your product idea and tells you, honestly, whether it can pay you.

  • Stage 1 — Demand: Find out if real buyers are searching for your product, and how many of them there are.

  • Stage 2 — Pricing Power: See whether your product can sustain a price that actually pays you a real hourly rate.

  • Stage 3 — Competition: Check how crowded your space is, and whether there's room for your version to win.

  • Stage 4 — Production Cost: Work out your true cost per item, including materials, fees, and the time you've been quietly absorbing.

  • Stage 5 — Scalability: Decide whether this product can grow with you, or whether it caps out the moment you do.

At the end, you get one of three verdicts:

STRONG OPPORTUNITY — Your product has real income potential. Here's how to launch or scale it.

⏸️ PROMISING — Your product is close, but needs adjustments before it can pay you properly.

🔄 HIGH RISK — Your product is unlikely to pay you. Here's a clearer path forward.

No more guessing. No more building on hope. Just an honest answer in under an hour.

Is the Profit Filter right for you?

Let's be honest about who the Filter is built for, and who it isn't.

This is for you if:

  • You're already selling handmade and suspect you're under-earning

  • You work hard, get orders, but your hourly rate doesn't add up

  • You've tried pricing tools, SEO tips, and posting more, and nothing has shifted the income

  • You want a clear verdict on whether your product can pay you, before you spend another year building on shaky ground

This isn't for you if:

  • You haven't started selling yet

  • You're looking for a magic pricing trick that fixes everything overnight

  • You don't want to hear an honest answer about whether your product can work

See the Filter Work in Real Time

In a few minutes, you can run your idea through the five checks that matter most, and walk away with a clear answer on whether it's worth your time, energy and money.

FAQ

  • "How long will this take me to go through?"

    • You'll get a verdict on your first product in under an hour.

    • The 30-day validation plan is built for sellers already running a shop, so it slots into the gaps between making, listing, and packing. Nothing here assumes you have an empty calendar.

  • "Will this work for my niche, my craft, or my product type?"

    • The Profit Filter is built for sellers who already have products live, or are very close to listing.

    • If you're still deciding what to make, my free niche tools are a better starting point. Come back here once you have a product and you want an honest answer on whether it can pay you.

  • "I'm worried pricing properly will kill my sales. Will it?"

    • That was my exact fear for four years, and it cost me.

    • The Filter shows you whether your product can sustain proper pricing before you change anything. You'll see the data first, then decide. And if your product can't sustain it, you'll see that too, which is just as valuable.

  • "Does this work outside the UK?"

    • Yes. The tool supports multiple currencies (£, $, €, and more) and the principles work on any platform, anywhere.

    • Etsy fees are baked in if you sell on Etsy. If you sell on Shopify, your own site, or anywhere else, you can switch to manual fees mode and enter your own numbers.

  • "Is this a subscription? Will I be charged again?"

    • No. It's a one-time payment of $27 for lifetime access. No recurring charges, no hidden fees, no upgrades you'll be pressured into later. You pay once, you keep it.

  • "Do I need any special software?"

    • Just a browser. The Profit Filter tool runs in any browser on any device. The guide and bonuses are PDFs you can read on your phone, tablet, or laptop. Nothing to install.

  • "What if I buy it and it's not right for me?"

    • You have 7 days to try it, fully risk-free. If it doesn't give you a clear, honest verdict on your product, email me and I'll refund every penny.

  • "How do I get help if I'm stuck?"

    • Every buyer gets a direct reply line. Email me with a question and I'll personally help. You're not buying access to a chatbot or a Facebook group with a slow-moving admin. You're buying access to me.

Stop guessing whether your product can pay you. Find out.

You've worked too hard, for too long, to keep building on a product that might never pay you properly.

The Profit Filter gives you the honest answer in minutes, the action plan in a weekend, and the confidence to either back your product fully or pivot to something that can actually become a real income.

You'll know in under an hour whether the next year of your handmade business is one that finally pays you, or another year of hoping.

A final word

If you've read this far, something on this page is speaking to you.

Maybe it was the £4.80 number. Maybe it was the conversation with my husband. Maybe it was Emma's £8 to £59.74 jump, or Sarah's £801 in 7 days, or Mia's 4x profit on half the orders.

Whatever it was, trust it.

The Profit Filter isn't going to make handmade easy. Nothing will. But it will make sure the hours you're already putting in are going into a product that can actually pay you back.

That's worth $27 and an hour of your time.
