Best investment in yourself you can make.

This program has helped me so much!!! I am starting an Etsy shop to get off of disability and if it weren't for PES I would have given up. Everyone on the team is as invested in our success as us. I have had so much support and encouragement along with accountability and teaching. This isn't just a job for any of them. The owner Tanner Bell is as invested in each of us as our 1 on 1 coaches.

PES & Me

I give PES 5 stars...I'm a slow starter and wish I had more time but...this was a lot of money...my entire savings on a risk that so far needs more work. All the PES staff have been great & I love, love, love Tanner. I always feel positive after his Calls! I have put in the work- lots& lots of hours and thought I was on my way with orders but have hit a down time and would like to renew but financially unable!

Some wonderful surprises!

This program is, as one would expect, focused on learning and encouraging sellers to be successful on Etsy. What I did not expect, was the energy, thoughtfulness, and significant level of organization! This a fabulous (and expensive) program that I chose because I am committed to being successful. I have access to a personal 1:1 coach, as well as many other coaches open Zoom coaching calls which are focused on understanding and using the thorough curriculum. I do wish that the 2.0 still offered private feedback o designs and our shop, instead of an open forum on the coaching calls - but I'll step up for that!

Supportive Community

This program continues to grow and evolve with the times. I have been in this program since the beginning and have watched it improve. Tanner and the coaching team provide needed guidance which doubled my shop value and I am seeing a snowball effect which is slowly bringing the value up. The program just had a major upgrade this year which I am working through but have full confidence that it will bring in the revenue to pay back the amount spent and then some. The team loves feedback and they use it to bring the upgrades to the program. I feel heard, and supported in this program.

The coaching is fantastic.

The coaching is fantastic.
I got into this program to supplement my retirement. When I joined, I didn't know what to expect. This program is always evolving. When they find better ways to do things, they share with the group. I truly believe that all of the coaches from Tanner on down want to see us suceed. They have put a lot of work into this program and it shows.

Increased knowledge and focus have led to increased sales through PES

Passive Earner Society is a great program for anyone ready to put in the time and effort. There are people that are opening their first shop as well as more experienced Etsy sellers like myself. While all of the content doesn't apply the value of the program is in the personal coaching, the variety of live calls and trainings and the amazing team Tanner has built for this program.

I have become more focused, more deliberate, learned a lot about improving my images, tags, descriptions, listings in general and even what I am creating for my shop. My sales have become more consistent and I've had growth since joining. Thank you to the whole PES team!

Good program, but be prepared to pay a chunk of money

I have learned ALOT in my little over a year in the program. The initial investment was more than I wanted to pay but I did it anyway. My sales haven't paid for the investment yet but I am seeing more sales recently. The personal coaching is good as well, which I think is the highlight of the whole program. You aren't just watching a bunch of videos and trying to learn, you have interaction with a real person. In person training is beyond my price point so I haven't had the experience that others have.
The change in the way that the program is being run now is a little frustrating when I was happy with the way the program was before. I'm giving the new way a chance though, since there are changes to adjust to.

That's the trajectory we want, and we're here to help you keep climbing. If we can help you accelerate, reach out anytime at hi@passiveearnersociety.com.

Tanner is an amazing coach

Tanner is an amazing coach! He makes his program enjoyable fun and exciting. Craving to learn more!! He is so knowledgeable and the PES program is user super easy friendly ! His personality is catchy and fun. I love learning from him. His ideas and knowledge are far beyond his years and the coaches he finds to work with in his business are fantastic.

My experience with PES gone from good…

My experience with PES gone from good to great. When I first joined, I didn't feel I was getting my money's worth. The curriculum seemed outdated and I wasn't getting the coaching support I paid for which was a lot. These past few months PES has really upgraded their program. The coaching calls are excellent. I feel much more inspired to realize my dreams of becoming a successful Etsy seller. This program is not a get rich quick program. You have to be willing to put in the work which for me means putting in 20-30 hours a week. I would like to continue the program for a second year but the cost is more than I can afford. That's my reason for the four star.

It is very helpful on knowing how to get the shop open and understanding on how to do all the boxes that needs to be filled in and the calls are good especially when I can watch the replays and then I can apply it my shop and everything else in general and how to move on if I am stuck on the new upgrade of the new personalization section.

I was attracted to PES because of their excitement and the possibilities of dreams they sell to you.

I was attracted to PES because of their excitement. I currently had an Etsy shop selling jewelry that I was burnt out on & wanted to learn the digital world. I thought I could learn things for my current shop along with learning something new. I also wanted to be held accountable. I have learned SO much in the 7 months I have been a part of it, but the growth is slow & I show up daily in my shops. All the coaches in this program are great and go beyond & truly do have your best interest at heart. Overall, I am happy with this program but, PES recently did some revamping. Many of the things I am excited about but the one thing that really drew me to this program was the personalized feedback they would give on listings & designing. This was and is still a huge need for me (because I was brand new to digital designing & learning). They now switched it to a once-a-month call where you can submit a listing or design to be critiqued in front of everyone that attends the calls or watches them on replays. I don't like putting myself out there like that when learning something new & you hope that yours gets a chance to be reviewed if you do submit one because there are hundreds in this program & it is now first come first serve type thing. I just feel that waiting a month for feedback on one design/listing is going to hold me/people back on their growth. I am trying to hold space to be optimistic on this change, but time will tell.

My biggest challenge with Etsy has always been tags and titles. I was hoping to get more from this program on that part of it, but it feels everyone has different feedback on this (even sometimes the same persons advice can be contradictory from one call to another) and it has made me more confused now then I was before. It may be different with the changes that have recently been made. Again, time will tell.

I do feel the program is a little pricy and they are always trying to get you to buy more with going to in person events etc. I do love they have this option (I would love to meet them all in person) but the initial invest was s big commitment without all the extras. Overall, I would recommend this program to others who are looking to be held accountable and wanting to grow an Etsy business. The coaches and Tanner truly are amazing and there is so much valuable information and training!

Jen, thank you for such a thoughtful, balanced review, and for showing up in your shops daily. We're grateful you've learned so much and feel the coaches truly have your best interest at heart.

We hear your concern about the change to monthly, in-front-of-the-group listing feedback, the first-come pressure, and getting contradictory advice on tags and titles. We don't want the new format to slow your growth. We'd love to get you more consistent, personalized feedback. You can share your listings with your homeroom coach, and our team of experts will give your listing an audit. We also have our Deep Dive Form available if you'd like an in-depth, thorough review of every element of our shop. You can get a link from your coach to get that process started.

If there is anything more we can support you with, please reach out at hi@passiveearnersociety.com, and we'll support you every step of the way.

Warmly,

The amount of care and sense of community this program provides is unmatched. They keep up to date on all the ongoing changes that Etsy has and have a curriculum that provides a backbone to create your Etsy business.
While it's an investment in yourself, pricing is a bit of a challenge, and I wish it were more affordable. I want to do all the extras, but they are additional costs I can't spare. But I hope that with this, I will be able to have a sucessful business where this costs doesn't effect me.

The program was actually under sold! IT is AMAZING.

The program was actually under sold. If everyone knew what was in the program before they took the plunge, it would be a no brainer for someone who wants to make a career from their Etsy business. The in-depth training is beyond my expectations from the tools, templates, step by step how to do, 1:1 coaching, live and on demand video content which is all soooo good! I am new to this system but feel so supported to make this happen.

Never met so many people who want you to succeed

This program is truely more than they advertise. Thoughtful and effective curriculum, several experts every step of the way, and rich community. There is really nothing 'passive' about the experience. I mostly appreiciate the honestly about the work that one needs to put in to be successful, but there is so much support, it's hard not want to put the effort in.
