Be Careful!
I enrolled in the “Ultimate Etsy Course” by Dylan Jahraus after seeing her content and advertisements online. Before joining, I think it’s important for potential students to be aware of my experience. Firstly, be prepared for very intense sales tactics from her team. The marketing gives the impression that you will be speaking directly with Dylan, but in reality, you never do — all communication is handled by members of her team. The initial call felt extremely high-pressure. When I explained I wanted time to consider the investment, I was challenged repeatedly — not once or twice, but numerous times — to the point where I had to firmly say no. It did not feel like a supportive consultation; it felt like a hard sales push. After some consideration, I decided to join — and for me, that turned out to be a mistake. The onboarding process was confusing and could definitely be improved. Given the high price point, I expected a smoother and more premium experience. There is no 1-to-1 support included as standard; everything is delivered in group settings, which can feel frustrating when you need specific guidance for your own shop. The upselling within the course is excessive. It often feels like you are being sold to again after already making a significant investment. For example, 1-to-1 coaching is offered at approximately £300+ for 30 minutes with a coach — a fee that, in my opinion, is extremely high. It left me questioning how those prices are calculated and whether they represent fair value. Toward the end of my time in the programme, I was invited onto another call — and once again, it turned into a hard sales pitch. I was encouraged to commit to spending £1,000 or more per month to continue working with them. At that point, it felt completely unreasonable. If that’s not excessive, I’m not sure what is. My advice would be to be very cautious with these calls and be prepared for further sales pressure. There is also a strong emphasis during the sales process that results will be “great” once you sign up. However, my experience did not match those expectations. I personally feel the course is oversold compared to the reality of what is delivered. When Dylan does appear on calls, the format is typically rapid-fire responses to pre-submitted questions in a spreadsheet. There is no live interaction or opportunity to ask follow-up questions, which limits the value of her presence. For me, the overall experience did not justify the cost. I would advise anyone considering this course to research carefully, ask detailed questions about what is actually included, and be mindful of the additional upsells and ongoing coaching fees. This is, of course, my personal experience — but I hope it helps others make a fully informed decision before committing to such a significant investment.
