Nick, I did what you described in this video last year. I uploaded my 100 listings through July-September. I had 5 sales in my store from 2021 up til August 2023. In August Etsy algorithm picked up my store, and this January I have 103 sales. I’m planning to double my sales this year with this very same strategy 😊
@@etsyconsultant thank you for verifying that on your channel. You’re trustworthy and this just made me feel even more secure about this strategy being the way to go.
I was part of the webinar Nik held 1/20. For anyone wondering if his coaching is legitimate and valuable, I tell you IT IS!! He is authentic, unlike some other YT Etsy gurus. 💯❗️
Very valuable information for me as I set up my store. The video "100 Days of Selling on Etsy" explained the setup process in a clear, practical, and direct manner, which made the setup process enjoyable and easy. Thank you, I plan to watch all the videos and I will call for a consultation appointment in the near future.
Nick, this was so valuable. Waiting to open my store after 2 major surgeries. 1 down , 1 to go.I WILL be selling beaded jewellery. Thought I would have opened SEPT 2023, but didn’t want to open and then have to go on vacation mode twice, and lose any algorithm momentum I may have achieved. I am 74 yrs old, and definitely have the time to give, however given the delay in opening, feel I have lost some confidence.Still have the drive and tenacity to succeed. This video was so helpful, walking through step by step., has made me realise I can do this. Plan to watch all your videos again while I am recuperating. Will need a call to you, because I Have mostly one of pieces. Will start to make multiples, where possible with the amount of beads I have. I import from BALI. Thanks for your expertise. Cheers, Chris Jones. 🌺
I have wanted to start an Etsy store for a LONG time. I sell on KDP, Ive watched all the popular youtubers and even purchased courses. Most youtubers rush through and say to list 10+ designs per day. I am so glad I found you. I feel like I can manage your system. Thanks so much.
Hi Nik, I’ve had calls with you before (that were super helpful) and this is STILL so useful. And a good reminder of the process and effort needed. Thank you!
Definitely what I needed. I’m slowly designing before I open my shop. Thanks Nikk!! As always, good info. Make more videos like this please! I’m a visual learner and love lists too.
I listened to the Etsy Gurus way before I ever found you. My store was soooooo dead following their advice. Finally, I tried some of the stuff you showed in your videos and actually saw progress even though my store was so far gone. Lesson learned. I finally shut down the store and intend to try fresh. I will do it right this time. Give myself one more shot. Your content is appreciated greatly. Thank you!
No problem at all, thanks for being here, and remember, don't guess something, just reach out and ask, I answer every comment (sometimes there might be a delay, I get a lot!).
Nick, I've been watching and absorbing all of your videos and I've kicked off my store today, complete with it's lonely little one listing. :D I've got my drafts ready to release one a day for the next week, and I can't wait to see how this plays out! Thank you so much for your extremely valuable content!
Hi, good luck and good to have you here!. Make sure you keep listing well beyond 7 listings though, not much will happen with this few listings. Try to get to 100 listings, if you need help, you can book in for a consultation on the link below: etsy-consultant.com/services/30-minute-zoom-consultation/
Awesome videos, I have been following these for a bit now and just hit 100 listings and have everything setup in ways I would not have otherwise know about. Thanks!
I am here for it!!!! I loved your 10 minute SEO video. My mind was blown after countless hours of keyword research, debilitating overanalysis paralysis.
So it takes me a week to make a new product (making paintings, and want to make them into prints) and I have 7 products already so my goal is to do 1 new listing every 5 days for 100 days to get my new shop started, ending with 21 products. Although perhaps I can double the number of products if I sell the originals as well (for a premium!) Ty for the videos!
Thank you so much. I am planning to open a shop in two months. I have been binge watching your videos. This is the one I need the most at this point. I appreciate your guidance.
I truly appreciate all the time and effort you have put in to this video explaining everything in detail and clearly stating that it takes effort to succeed. You are the vest at keeping it real. Thank you thank you thank you.
One of the best videos I have seen. Well thought out and thoroughly explained. Removed many of my uncertainties about how to become an Etsy seller from theory/strategy to nuts and bolts. Nik, many thanks.
Wow! I am a first time viewer, seriously wanting to sell my items. This video was exactly what I needed to watch. Thank you so much. Now that I have an outline, I see that I can make it happen. I would love to watch more instructional videos. You just got a new subscriber! I appreciate your time & effort. Very helpful & much needed. 😉👍♥️
Hey Nik! 🙂 Thank you for the GREAT course! I appreciate it! I have some questions: 1.) Shipping Methods / Shipping Globally - Do you recommend multiple shipping methods? - Is there a program for this? (I thought I read somewhere that ETSY has one) - How is shipping globally estimated? I worry a lot about customers waiting a long time or orders not being received, which could give my store a bad review/rating 😕 - Is it best for me to buy a printer and do it on my own? 2.) Shop Set Up - Can the seller Icon and Ship Icon be the brand logo? If not, what are the differences here for what should be uploaded? - Do you recommend ever having products being discounted at any time? 3.) Niches / Sub-niches - Is it possible for non-evergreen niche stores do well? 4.) Production Partners - Is this a person working with you in a business? Where you may be sourcing materials from? 5.) Grow Sections Equally - I am still confused by this, and I do not know how to ask a question about it. Would you be able to give an example of how this would look? 6.) Draft Folders - Can I upload my item and input all the information in all the sections, so it can be ready ahead of time to post? 7.) Item Prices - Do you have recommendations on how to set the prices for items, so you make the right profit margin? 8.) Trademark / Copyright - I have seen some videos about this and it makes me nervous that I will sell a product that has already been trademarked or something in /on it is copyrighted. What do you recommend to your clients to navigate this piece of the puzzle before designing? 9.) New ETSY Store Expectations - What expectations should I have for the growth rate of sales for my new ETSY store? The process you are teaching us is a gradual one, so I want to make sure I stay realistic with meeting my income goals from ETSY. That was a lot of questions, but any answers or feedback on any of these would be greatly appreciated, whether by you or anyone else on the Nik - Etsy Consultant Team / Community! THANK YOU! 🙂
Hi, and thanks for your questions, there is a ton here, please book in for a consultation with me, links are below if you would like to do this: 30 Minutes: etsy-consultant.com/services/30-minute-zoom-consultation/ 60 Minutes: etsy-consultant.com/services/60-minute-zoom-consultation/
Fantastic content Nick, so much useful information thank you. Have about 43 listing’s in my T-shirt shop so far and still waiting for my first sale, views and visits seem healthy after 5 weeks. Fingers crossed for 1st sale soon.
Thanks Nik! I assume this as a refresher course for me to work on my 2nd store. I opened my 2nd store on May 2023 and been sitting idle until now. I listed around 10 items and deactivated them because I was not confident, now the shop is in vacation mode. To me, the most daunting parts are product/niche validation & SEO as I prefer selling in micro niche, same as my 1st store. My 1st store is doing very well, and still in building phase as it's only a 1-year old store. Working on my 1st store is more enjoyable than building my 2nd store. I can still feel that pain of building 1st store from scratch. January is already about to end, and I need to encourage myself to start listing one item a day in my 2nd store.
I wish I had watched these video tutorials before opening my Etsy shop! But now at least I have an idea on how I can optimize the setup and how much work to expect... Thanks!
Thank you Nicholas for such a great informative course. I got into your teachings a little late, but as they say "better late than ever". Hopefully, I be able with your advice to bring sone kind of life to my store.
My wife and I want to start with Etsy. We had the idea to start a business together. You were talking about the shop owner profile. Now the question is: Can we just say that we are a Family as First Name? Would that be against Etsy Guideline? Otherwise it is the question what name we would use.... I appreciate your step by step guides! We are excited to see what will happen this year :D
@@etsyconsultant Thanks for the Advice! :) so I registered the Shop with all details under my name and then have the Account Setup with my wife and me in the picture Saying it is a Small Family Business. :D
What a great video for anyone looking to sell on Etsy. So much information and you laid it all out in this video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and may you continue to prosper in your business.❤
I will be selling greeting cards and listening to this video helped in understanding how to list cards with inside sentiments and those without. They will be listed as "variations". Great information. Thank you.
This video is great! I'm just about ready to open a new Etsy shop in about two weeks. I've had other shops, but did everything wrong with them. I'm excited to try one the right way - thank you!
I just find you and you're gold! I do portraits of people and pets with graphite pencil. I just have 9 listings right now, but I will try to use all your advices. Watching your channel as it was a netflix series. Thank you!
Very helpful video. I plan on starting a store with my hand turned items i make on the wood lathe. Your video really helped clear up lots of questions i had. thank you so much.
For your straightforward content, you're my favorite Etsy guru! I am so excited I'm about to pull the trigger and open my shop soon. Do I list only one item opening day as well or start with a certain number of listings on opening day?
Hey Nick, I think your videos are awesome. What would really help me as a new etsy seller is if you did a case study of a successful vs unsuccessful etsy shop, I am particularly interested in print on demand. Thanks!
You deserve a whole lot more subs and views! Such valuable course and advice every time, thank you! I've been following this and really hope it'll start generate sales after 100 listings. I've lots of time and can run this full time, my question is do you recommend I run 2 stores at the same time? I've started in a niche I'm not 100% convinced yet and have another niche idea that I want to try. Do you think running 2 stores will be a bit much? I can dedicate around 5-6 hrs Mon-Fri to run these.
Hi and thanks for being here I appreciate it. It seems most people just want pipe dreams rather than actual advice lol. The answer to your question really is "it depends". There are so many variables here, but if you have the time, and it seems as though you have, give it a go, let me know what happens!
Thank you, Nick! I'm still new with my handmade leather shop for EDC enthusiasts, and I'm trying to make and list one item per day. I have a hard time finding the right products to list, but I have to believe I'm on the right track. I have one sale to a very supportive friend! I want to know if your strategies change at all for handmade / bespoke products, or if I should keep plowing forward and listing variant styles or combination packages to reach 100 items.
Hi there, thanks for your comment. Yes it's the same method for handmade/bespoke. If you have one-of-a-kind items, there is a way that I recommend you list those, I will copy the video link to OOAK items below. czcams.com/video/zPzDptXFMoM/video.html
I have been watching your videos for past couple of months. I finally opened my Etsy store yesterday and created my first listing. It took all afternoon for me to do it. I plan to follow your advice of listing 1 item a day. I wasn’t sure if I should consult with you now or wait until I have some listings up first.
@@etsyconsultant I logged into my account to create my 2nd listing and found my account suspended and don't know what I did wrong. I filled out their appeal asking what happened. I explained I just opened and added 1 listing. I said all the artwork is mine. the photographs and videos are mine that I created. I;m using printify. The only thing I could think of is that when I logged in to get rid of an old listing that i never published yet it said -20 cents in red. I wasn't sure why I would owe 20 cents if I never published the listing. When I originally started an etsy shop, just to go through the motions, it was forcing me to make a listing, so I did, but never published it. Then when I was ready to do it for real, I noticed the 20 cents but forgot about it because I was so tired after 5 hours from filling in information for the shop and creating 1 listing. I hope that's all it is. ugh. now I have to wait. they said could take 2 weeks to get answer. I can't believe this. i noticed I'm messaging from my PetGroovy name. that was the name of my shop. I also have a shopify shop of same name but with a hyphen, Pet-Groovy .com. I was going to talk to you about selling item and services from there and putting it on etsy. I was trying to sell the license plate bichon mom sneakers. Looks like I'll need to consult with you if Etsy restores my account. .
@@etsyconsultant I sent message here and it's gone. Sent you email with Etsy's response. Hoping you can help me get account back or to somehow start over. Thank you.
Thanks for the video. Lots of helpful information. It's helpful to have a concrete strategy. My questions: 1) How do I handle it if I have more than one POD? do I somehow make sure each one has the appropriate item from me in their inventory? I've listened to several differen't people's video--no one has made this clear yet. Maybe you can. 3) Yeah, I'm hearing include a video with each listing. Got it. HOW do you make a video/ What software? Obviously this is a quickie, not a complicated one. thanks for incorporating these questions somewhere.
Hi there, thanks for your comment. If you mean how do you use more than one production partner for POD then that's simple. In the listing, you are required to list the production partner, so it shouldn't matter if you have more than one supplier. You can take a video with your phone and upload it to Etsy, as you would a photo.
Thank you Nik, that was super helpful! I'm definitely in the new Etsy seller realm (one store with just a few (random!) items and a couple of POD sales (mugs 😂)). I'm switching to digital now (and will shelve the currently listed items). The name I have for my store can lend itself to being a digital supplier for business peeps, so I might go that way. Other than that, I have the option of starting again from scratch and choosing the niche you suggested for digital products in one of your other videos. I would start this as a digital store, though some of those products could lend themselves to POD further down the line if they proved to be popular. Decisions, decisions... 😃
I’ve watched a few of your videos over the last week or so! I love your content! I’d absolutely love to show you my shop I set up in October! I’m really chuffed what I have achieved myself. You content should help me level up for sure. I think I need to do a few tweaks! I’ll book a consultation 😊
Thank you for all your awesome videos, they have helped massively. Do you have one (or planning one) on how to best utilise the Search Analytics feature in etsy?
Thank you Nick for the course. I feel no longer a newbie, as I launched 2 stores begin of 2024, listing 21 / 25 items as of today. One per day, as you stress on. However, listening again to your walk-around I picked up a few areas where I still can improve my store / listings : mentioning the production partner for POD, checking the about page, adding materials + attributes to listings. And finally adding the tag VALENTINE to items in my watercolour paintings store. Who knows ? A customer looking for a Valentine gift ? I want to be eligible :) Greetings from France, - Pierre
I wanted to revive a fledgling neglected (aka DEAD), store. I recently discovered your channel Nick, and have been following your advice. I upload one POD design per day and after 22 days I got my first organic sale. For efficiency sake I wanted to work ahead but I wasn't sure I could upload my drafts, so I picked up on that tidbit right away. Yay! Nick, do you have a video on how best to use your emails sent to the buyer AFTER the sale? Thanks for such a useful channel, I can't wait to see where my store will be in 100 days!
Hey, I just came across your videos and I love how you keep it simple and break it down at the same time, I have a question already started my Etsy shop based on the 3 listing a day about 2 1/2 weeks ago and already have 50 listings should I just stop listing or just from now forward only do one a day?
Hi. Im a newbie to your channel and this video had answers to every query I had. So grateful for this video. Just want to check if you informative videos for POD sellers.
Thank you so much for the info! So happy I found you! I have a question...lots of my products are similar. When listing, can I copy the listing and change what needs to be changed for the next listing, using it as a listing template?
This video was so perfect for me right now, as I am just getting prepared to open my first Etsy shop and I plan to follow all of your steps. This may be a silly question, but in one of your previous Etsy videos about making $10 000 in a year, you recommended starting the business in January. Since it is only the end of July right now, would you still recommend that I wait until January next year to open my new store?
@Superpsychandie Thanks for watching! Start your store as soon as you are ready, Q4 is around the corner. List 1 product a day for as many days as you can, make sure your photography is as good as it can be, and don't use Etsy ads until you are making a sale a day. Good luck and let me know how it's going at the beginning of October.
Nik, I’m just starting a Etsy store last month and following your advice of listing 1 item a day. My question is I have some items I can just make very slight changes (eg. from nurse to doctor) to target different sub-niches. Should I create one listing and add all the variations or create separate listings? Does each variation count towards one listing per day? Thanks!
Hey, what do you think about if you have one item for digital products and you are just creating new variations like color variations different design etc, but you are still using the same keywords and tags. And you have for example more than 30 products that use these keywords as tags, is this bad for algorithm?
That's a good question about if you have same products that use same keywords but only slightly different because of the colours/designs. I'd love to know too if it hurts the algo and what's best.
Hi, yes if its all the same, with the same keywords, this isn't a good idea, and is a very diluted product offering, UNLESS it has very low competition, in which case if the demand is there, it will sell.
Found you yesterday, finally a no nonsense etsy channel! Hoping that this is going to be the game changer. I have 35 odd listing but am yet to do the proper seo you have set out. Should i deactivarte all but 1, tag etc properly and reactivate 1 at a time as if i am listing one at a time?

Id like to follow up regarding the last part wherein if no sales within a 1 year, which is better... Abandon the store and create a new one or just delete the items everything and start from scratch again i mean renaming the store, new sections and find a new niche
Love the step by step course! i finally got a chance to watch to the end, and you answered alot of my questions, i need to watch more videos for other questions. I know this is for just opening a shop, but i have a shop been open a little over a year, physical products, and i design things that takes me 3months to finish 1 item. I have 4 listings, i know i should do sub-niches as you mentioned to expand and i plan to do this but i also work full time, how should i go about putting more items in my store with these circumstances?

All of your advice is golden and your SEO video was incredible helpful, im glad to say that i've ticked most of your tips already however i've already listed 100 listings before i've opened. what can i do now they are there? im on holiday mode until my production partner finalises and then im ready to open.
Hi there thanks for your comment. I do not recommend using vacation mode as it can affect visibility. Please get in touch to book a consultation for further advice. etsy-consultant.com/services/
Hello Nick, I have an Etsy shop opened 2 months ago and no sales, should I open a store, should I continue? Many on youtube are saying to open a new one if is no sales for 2-3 months ? Or should I continue improving my designs? Thank you so much for helping us with this videos!

Hey Nik! 🌸 Is category command important if you’re selling one type? Eg: T-shirts. My research has told me to stick to one product type. Do I bother with category command? Thanks for all your content. You’re a star! 🌟
@@etsyconsultant hey Nik :) thanks for your response! just rewatched your video about category command and I doesn’t quite answer my question about a shop that specialises in one product type. I sell blank wellness journals. Some design types are working better than others. My customers seem to think less is more. How can I use category command for this? Does it still apply?
I really enjoyed this course and I've watched a couple of your other videos as well which I liked. Anytime I watch videos on Etsy stores I always have questions. Mostly questions about the contradictory suggestions and things like SEO. And they seem to make sense on either side but I just get confused on which way to go or which way is better. My shop is only 1 month old and I don't know if I should just keep making changes and improvements as I go or just scrap the whole thing and start over with a new store. I can give the link to my store if you're able to assess and let me know if it's even on the right track.
I've had my store for several years now but did not have any of this valuable information you presented in this video. Did not know this information was available on CZcams. Never showed up until now. I also watched the updated 2024 SEO video. My products are seasonal (cold weather/Winter) and I always did not renew when the products expired until the next season. Also what I have been doing is create a good amount of products, photos graph them and pick a date to sit and upload them all at the same time into the store. Finding out from the video that's not the way to do it. I will put them in draft and upload daily. Do you review and critique a store if asked so improvement s maybe be made if applicable? Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Hi Stephanie and thanks for your comment. Yes, I am the only one putting out this information because I am the only one who does this for a full time job, over the last 9 years. I would definitely suggest booking in for a store critique, and you can do this on the link below: etsy-consultant.com/services/30-minute-etsy-store-critique/
Thank you for the excellent, informative video! Question: for POD items, is it a good idea to list multiple colorways for designs as separate listings (I don't think Printify allows for it within a single listing). Or would having extremely similar titles/tags across multiple colorway listings affect them negatively?
@juliemitchell9308 Hi Julie, with POD it is a listings numbers game so you need to have lots of unique designs and I would not list separate colors in separate listings.
This is great video. I just open store a week now, got 10 listings, but all I got the spam messages about my acct. and they asked to send them my email to confirm the account. It’s so upsetting 😢
Nick, what if you don't have 13 materials? Do we need to fill all the spaces? Can you please make a video with your advices for people who have already a store that it's not going well? Thank you so much!!!
Hi Lucy, no you just fill in the materials you use. I have already made a video, you can check that out on the link below: czcams.com/video/U7i1Exk-7JE/video.html
Great video, thank you! This may be a dumb question, but is this the 100 Listing New Etsy Store Course? I went to your website, and can't find it, so this video must be what you mean, correct? Or are you referring to a different course? 😬 Thank you again.
Thanks Nick, great video. One question - once having 100 listings with at least some consistent sales does Etsy then put more weight on your shop and its listings? Possibly Etsy no longer sees your shop as a startup and more legitimate?
Hi Nick, I found you last week via your podcast and have watched loads of your videos and taken notes - so helpful and to the point. I will be opening a Vintage home decor shop - when you talk about growing your shop sections equally/evenly, do you mean e.g. day 1 I list a vase (vase section), day 2 I list a set of candle holders, day 3 a framed artwork and so on, then once you get to day 7 I'd start the rotation again so I'd list another vase? Thanks in advance 😊
Thanks for listening to my podcast, I appreciate it! Yes, try to list evenly, to get a reliable signal from your customers about what they want to buy.
Hi Nick, I opened an Etsy store one year ago, but I only listed one item for a few months. Of course I got no sales. I watched most of your videos in the past two weeks and learned a lot from you. Now I have more products and plan to restart my Etsy business. Should I close the store and open a new one or is it ok to keep working on this store? thanks a lot
I watched your video yesterday about all the things that are wrong with Etsy and it discouraged me greatly from actually starting with Etsy. What advice would you give a newcomer given the drawbacks of what's going on there? I would really appreciate an answer because I love following your videos and you gave me a lot of hope this could be the platform that I would like to use. Full disclosure, I don't make any products. I would be using print on demand.
Hi Diane, it is important that sellers understand the reality of selling on Etsy, too many CZcamsrs give advice that is not based in the real world unfortunately. However, definitely get set up on Etsy, there is a ton of opportunity if you are willing to put in the work. My number 1 piece of advice I can give you is this: design will be your number 1 problem, so make sure you have the ability to work extensively on designs, and have months of time to put into it. Good luck!
Great course! Quick question- how many items should I be listing a day in my situation? I just started my store back up about a month ago - I have 61 sales in total from the last few years and get a sale at least once a week since I started back up. Also a star seller. Can I lift up to 3 a day with my store?
Greetings Nick, I want to thank you for your informative tutorials. I have watched several. I am working on putting together my 100 listings. Question: Currently, I have been working on an original idea for a mug before I heard your presentations. Through Printify, I have many options wherein I can display this creation on sweatshirts, and tee shirts. Also on pillows, phone cases, aprons, etc., This would be my very first listing. Should I only include one item at a time from the above group daily to position me with the Etsy algorithm? Or do I upload the entire group with "all" of the above product options mentioned above? Please respond asap. Thanks again.
Hi there, thanks for your comment. To help you understand imagine you have 6 sections, and these sections are labelled as 'professions'. You may have Doctors, Nurses, Teachers, Mechanics etc. Creating listings only in the mechanics section would not be growing your store evenly. I recommend that you would list in each category at an even pace, so one in the Doctor section, then one in the Teacher section. etc.....
@@etsyconsultant thanks so much for the clarification - I like how straight-forwardly you present information, it's refreshing & much easier to understand than you find elsewhere 🙂
Nick, I did what you described in this video last year. I uploaded my 100 listings through July-September. I had 5 sales in my store from 2021 up til August 2023. In August Etsy algorithm picked up my store, and this January I have 103 sales. I’m planning to double my sales this year with this very same strategy 😊

Hey Chris, please keep me updated on your process and I wish you a fast recovery!
I have wanted to start an Etsy store for a LONG time. I sell on KDP, Ive watched all the popular youtubers and even purchased courses. Most youtubers rush through and say to list 10+ designs per day. I am so glad I found you. I feel like I can manage your system. Thanks so much.
Hey Donna, welcome in the community!
Hi Nik, I’ve had calls with you before (that were super helpful) and this is STILL so useful. And a good reminder of the process and effort needed. Thank you!
No worries!
Definitely what I needed. I’m slowly designing before I open my shop. Thanks Nikk!! As always, good info. Make more videos like this please! I’m a visual learner and love lists too.
More to come!
The very best course for new sellers. Please do more videos like this . Thanks
Hey, thank you for your kind words. More great videos to come!
Best Etsy video so far ! Looking forward to booking a consultation with you.
Yay! Thank you!
Nick I honestly believe that God put you in my life. Thank you for sharing the knowledge and wisdom you've acquired.
Hey Ellis, thank you for your kind words!
I listened to the Etsy Gurus way before I ever found you. My store was soooooo dead following their advice. Finally, I tried some of the stuff you showed in your videos and actually saw progress even though my store was so far gone. Lesson learned. I finally shut down the store and intend to try fresh. I will do it right this time. Give myself one more shot. Your content is appreciated greatly. Thank you!
No problem at all, thanks for being here, and remember, don't guess something, just reach out and ask, I answer every comment (sometimes there might be a delay, I get a lot!).
I’m so glad I found you! You’re so much more real and helpful than the others.
Hey, thank you for your kind words!
Fantastic!. I feel like I have a teacher! And one that I can trust. No nonsense, just good old fashioned common sense.
Hey Diane, thank you for your feedback!
Nick, I've been watching and absorbing all of your videos and I've kicked off my store today, complete with it's lonely little one listing. :D I've got my drafts ready to release one a day for the next week, and I can't wait to see how this plays out! Thank you so much for your extremely valuable content!
Hi, good luck and good to have you here!. Make sure you keep listing well beyond 7 listings though, not much will happen with this few listings. Try to get to 100 listings, if you need help, you can book in for a consultation on the link below:

Awesome videos, I have been following these for a bit now and just hit 100 listings and have everything setup in ways I would not have otherwise know about. Thanks!
Nice work!
I am here for it!!!! I loved your 10 minute SEO video. My mind was blown after countless hours of keyword research, debilitating overanalysis paralysis.
@@carissapicchi8199 Good to have you here!
So it takes me a week to make a new product (making paintings, and want to make them into prints) and I have 7 products already so my goal is to do 1 new listing every 5 days for 100 days to get my new shop started, ending with 21 products. Although perhaps I can double the number of products if I sell the originals as well (for a premium!) Ty for the videos!
Hi there, thanks for taking the time to comment. Wishing you all the best, and you are very welcome!!
I just started selling on Etsy about 3 days ago. Now I've found your video. I'm excited to see what you have to teach!!
Good luck!!
Thank you so much. I am planning to open a shop in two months. I have been binge watching your videos. This is the one I need the most at this point. I appreciate your guidance.
Hey Sharon, thanks for watching and support. Please keep me updated about your progress!
I truly appreciate all the time and effort you have put in to this video explaining everything in detail and clearly stating that it takes effort to succeed. You are the vest at keeping it real. Thank you thank you thank you.
Hey Martin, thank you very much for watching!
One of the best videos I have seen. Well thought out and thoroughly explained. Removed many of my uncertainties about how to become an Etsy seller from theory/strategy to nuts and bolts. Nik, many thanks.
Thank you very much for your kind words!
Wow! I am a first time viewer, seriously wanting to sell my items. This video was exactly what I needed to watch. Thank you so much. Now that I have an outline, I see that I can make it happen. I would love to watch more instructional videos. You just got a new subscriber! I appreciate your time & effort. Very helpful & much needed. 😉👍♥️
Thanks for subscribing, I appreciate it! More classroom videos coming soon!
Hey Nik! 🙂
Thank you for the GREAT course! I appreciate it! I have some questions:
1.) Shipping Methods / Shipping Globally
- Do you recommend multiple shipping methods?
- Is there a program for this? (I thought I read somewhere that ETSY has one)
- How is shipping globally estimated? I worry a lot about customers waiting a long time or orders not being received, which could give my store a bad review/rating 😕
- Is it best for me to buy a printer and do it on my own?
2.) Shop Set Up
- Can the seller Icon and Ship Icon be the brand logo? If not, what are the differences here for what should be uploaded?
- Do you recommend ever having products being discounted at any time?
3.) Niches / Sub-niches
- Is it possible for non-evergreen niche stores do well?
4.) Production Partners
- Is this a person working with you in a business? Where you may be sourcing materials from?
5.) Grow Sections Equally
- I am still confused by this, and I do not know how to ask a question about it. Would you be able to give an example of how this would look?
6.) Draft Folders
- Can I upload my item and input all the information in all the sections, so it can be ready ahead of time to post?
7.) Item Prices
- Do you have recommendations on how to set the prices for items, so you make the right profit margin?
8.) Trademark / Copyright
- I have seen some videos about this and it makes me nervous that I will sell a product that has already been trademarked or something in /on it is copyrighted. What do you recommend to your clients to navigate this piece of the puzzle before designing?
9.) New ETSY Store Expectations
- What expectations should I have for the growth rate of sales for my new ETSY store? The process you are teaching us is a gradual one, so I want to make sure I stay realistic with meeting my income goals from ETSY.
That was a lot of questions, but any answers or feedback on any of these would be greatly appreciated, whether by you or anyone else on the Nik - Etsy Consultant Team / Community! THANK YOU! 🙂

Fantastic content Nick, so much useful information thank you. Have about 43 listing’s in my T-shirt shop so far and still waiting for my first sale, views and visits seem healthy after 5 weeks. Fingers crossed for 1st sale soon.
Hey, I wish you best of luck!
This has really boosted my confidence thank you!
Hey Douglas, I am glad it did!
Thanks Nik!
I assume this as a refresher course for me to work on my 2nd store. I opened my 2nd store on May 2023 and been sitting idle until now. I listed around 10 items and deactivated them because I was not confident, now the shop is in vacation mode. To me, the most daunting parts are product/niche validation & SEO as I prefer selling in micro niche, same as my 1st store. My 1st store is doing very well, and still in building phase as it's only a 1-year old store. Working on my 1st store is more enjoyable than building my 2nd store. I can still feel that pain of building 1st store from scratch.
January is already about to end, and I need to encourage myself to start listing one item a day in my 2nd store.
Good luck with it, let me know in a month or two how it's going.
I wish I had watched these video tutorials before opening my Etsy shop! But now at least I have an idea on how I can optimize the setup and how much work to expect... Thanks!
No problem, let us know how it's going in a couple of months!
Thank you Nicholas for such a great informative course. I got into your teachings a little late, but as they say "better late than ever". Hopefully, I be able with your advice to bring sone kind of life to my store.
Hey, I really hope that my advice can help your store!
My wife and I want to start with Etsy. We had the idea to start a business together. You were talking about the shop owner profile. Now the question is: Can we just say that we are a Family as First Name? Would that be against Etsy Guideline?
Otherwise it is the question what name we would use....
I appreciate your step by step guides! We are excited to see what will happen this year :D
You would need to register a single person with all relevant details, along with company details if you want to add that as well.
@@etsyconsultant Thanks for the Advice! :) so I registered the Shop with all details under my name and then have the Account Setup with my wife and me in the picture Saying it is a Small Family Business. :D
What a great video for anyone looking to sell on Etsy. So much information and you laid it all out in this video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and may you continue to prosper in your business.❤
Hey, thank you very much for your kind words!
I will be selling greeting cards and listening to this video helped in understanding how to list cards with inside sentiments and those without. They will be listed as "variations". Great information. Thank you.
Hey Angela, glad it was helpful!
This video is great! I'm just about ready to open a new Etsy shop in about two weeks. I've had other shops, but did everything wrong with them. I'm excited to try one the right way - thank you!
Hey Paulette, good luck and keep me updated about your progress!
I just find you and you're gold! I do portraits of people and pets with graphite pencil. I just have 9 listings right now, but I will try to use all your advices. Watching your channel as it was a netflix series. Thank you!
Hey Mary, what a beautiful idea. I wish you best of luck and keep me updated about your progress!
Very helpful video. I plan on starting a store with my hand turned items i make on the wood lathe. Your video really helped clear up lots of questions i had. thank you so much.
Hey, thank you for your feedback and happy wood working!
For your straightforward content, you're my favorite Etsy guru! I am so excited I'm about to pull the trigger and open my shop soon. Do I list only one item opening day as well or start with a certain number of listings on opening day?
Thanks! 1 listing per day, from day one.
I love this style of video. This was very helpful.
Thank you very much!
Hey Nick, I think your videos are awesome. What would really help me as a new etsy seller is if you did a case study of a successful vs unsuccessful etsy shop, I am particularly interested in print on demand. Thanks!
Great suggestion!
You deserve a whole lot more subs and views! Such valuable course and advice every time, thank you! I've been following this and really hope it'll start generate sales after 100 listings. I've lots of time and can run this full time, my question is do you recommend I run 2 stores at the same time? I've started in a niche I'm not 100% convinced yet and have another niche idea that I want to try. Do you think running 2 stores will be a bit much? I can dedicate around 5-6 hrs Mon-Fri to run these.
Hi and thanks for being here I appreciate it. It seems most people just want pipe dreams rather than actual advice lol. The answer to your question really is "it depends". There are so many variables here, but if you have the time, and it seems as though you have, give it a go, let me know what happens!
Thank you, Nick! I'm still new with my handmade leather shop for EDC enthusiasts, and I'm trying to make and list one item per day. I have a hard time finding the right products to list, but I have to believe I'm on the right track. I have one sale to a very supportive friend! I want to know if your strategies change at all for handmade / bespoke products, or if I should keep plowing forward and listing variant styles or combination packages to reach 100 items.
Hi there, thanks for your comment. Yes it's the same method for handmade/bespoke. If you have one-of-a-kind items, there is a way that I recommend you list those, I will copy the video link to OOAK items below.

I have been watching your videos for past couple of months. I finally opened my Etsy store yesterday and created my first listing. It took all afternoon for me to do it. I plan to follow your advice of listing 1 item a day. I wasn’t sure if I should consult with you now or wait until I have some listings up first.
Hey Maureen, the most important thing is to start and stay consistent. Whenever you are ready for consultancy I am here for you!
@@etsyconsultant I logged into my account to create my 2nd listing and found my account suspended and don't know what I did wrong. I filled out their appeal asking what happened. I explained I just opened and added 1 listing. I said all the artwork is mine. the photographs and videos are mine that I created. I;m using printify. The only thing I could think of is that when I logged in to get rid of an old listing that i never published yet it said -20 cents in red. I wasn't sure why I would owe 20 cents if I never published the listing. When I originally started an etsy shop, just to go through the motions, it was forcing me to make a listing, so I did, but never published it. Then when I was ready to do it for real, I noticed the 20 cents but forgot about it because I was so tired after 5 hours from filling in information for the shop and creating 1 listing. I hope that's all it is. ugh. now I have to wait. they said could take 2 weeks to get answer. I can't believe this. i noticed I'm messaging from my PetGroovy name. that was the name of my shop. I also have a shopify shop of same name but with a hyphen, Pet-Groovy .com. I was going to talk to you about selling item and services from there and putting it on etsy. I was trying to sell the license plate bichon mom sneakers. Looks like I'll need to consult with you if Etsy restores my account. .
@@etsyconsultant I sent message here and it's gone. Sent you email with Etsy's response. Hoping you can help me get account back or to somehow start over. Thank you.
Nik thank you from the bottom of my heart for another great video about listing new etsy store.
You are so welcome!
Can you make a video for vintage sellers? Are there any specifics to selling vintage and antiques on Etsy. Thank you
Hey, here you are:
czcams.com/video/vkAR0L0Dzlc/video.html
Thanks for the video. Lots of helpful information. It's helpful to have a concrete strategy. My questions: 1) How do I handle it if I have more than one POD? do I somehow make sure each one has the appropriate item from me in their inventory? I've listened to several differen't people's video--no one has made this clear yet. Maybe you can. 3) Yeah, I'm hearing include a video with each listing. Got it. HOW do you make a video/ What software? Obviously this is a quickie, not a complicated one. thanks for incorporating these questions somewhere.
Hi there, thanks for your comment. If you mean how do you use more than one production partner for POD then that's simple. In the listing, you are required to list the production partner, so it shouldn't matter if you have more than one supplier. You can take a video with your phone and upload it to Etsy, as you would a photo.
Thank you Nik, that was super helpful!
I'm definitely in the new Etsy seller realm (one store with just a few (random!) items and a couple of POD sales (mugs 😂)). I'm switching to digital now (and will shelve the currently listed items).
The name I have for my store can lend itself to being a digital supplier for business peeps, so I might go that way. Other than that, I have the option of starting again from scratch and choosing the niche you suggested for digital products in one of your other videos. I would start this as a digital store, though some of those products could lend themselves to POD further down the line if they proved to be popular.
Decisions, decisions... 😃
Decisions indeed Lesley, let me know how you get on!
I’ve watched a few of your videos over the last week or so! I love your content! I’d absolutely love to show you my shop I set up in October! I’m really chuffed what I have achieved myself. You content should help me level up for sure. I think I need to do a few tweaks! I’ll book a consultation 😊
OK no problem Karen, link to book is below!:

Thank you for all your awesome videos, they have helped massively.
Do you have one (or planning one) on how to best utilise the Search Analytics feature in etsy?
Hey Ross, great suggestion!
Thank you Nick for the course. I feel no longer a newbie, as I launched 2 stores begin of 2024, listing 21 / 25 items as of today. One per day, as you stress on.
However, listening again to your walk-around I picked up a few areas where I still can improve my store / listings : mentioning the production partner for POD, checking the about page, adding materials + attributes to listings. And finally adding the tag VALENTINE to items in my watercolour paintings store. Who knows ? A customer looking for a Valentine gift ? I want to be eligible :)
Greetings from France,
- Pierre
Hello Pierre, there is always space for improvement. I hope Valentine tags worked for you well!
wow, your videos are getting better and better! =D
Thanks!
Really good course with a lot of great information, yes please more 😊
More to come!
Thank you Nick for all the work you did to guide us!
My pleasure!
Thanks for a great video. I am just starting a store on Etsy and your videos are an invaluable guide
Hey Diana, thank you for your feedback. Keep me updated on how you're doing!
I wanted to revive a fledgling neglected (aka DEAD), store. I recently discovered your channel Nick, and have been following your advice. I upload one POD design per day and after 22 days I got my first organic sale. For efficiency sake I wanted to work ahead but I wasn't sure I could upload my drafts, so I picked up on that tidbit right away. Yay! Nick, do you have a video on how best to use your emails sent to the buyer AFTER the sale? Thanks for such a useful channel, I can't wait to see where my store will be in 100 days!
Hi, and thanks for watching my channel, if you mean Etsy messaging, this is a good idea for a video, I have noted it, thanks!
Hey, I just came across your videos and I love how you keep it simple and break it down at the same time, I have a question already started my Etsy shop based on the 3 listing a day about 2 1/2 weeks ago and already have 50 listings should I just stop listing or just from now forward only do one a day?
Yes, do one listing a day from now! Good luck!
Hi. Im a newbie to your channel and this video had answers to every query I had. So grateful for this video. Just want to check if you informative videos for POD sellers.
Glad it was helpful!
This video should help you:
czcams.com/video/AgVau4sdVn0/video.html
wonderfully concise, inspiring. thanks !!
Happy to help!
Thank you so much for the info! So happy I found you! I have a question...lots of my products are similar. When listing, can I copy the listing and change what needs to be changed for the next listing, using it as a listing template?
Yes, absolutely
This video was so perfect for me right now, as I am just getting prepared to open my first Etsy shop and I plan to follow all of your steps. This may be a silly question, but in one of your previous Etsy videos about making $10 000 in a year, you recommended starting the business in January. Since it is only the end of July right now, would you still recommend that I wait until January next year to open my new store?
@Superpsychandie Thanks for watching! Start your store as soon as you are ready, Q4 is around the corner. List 1 product a day for as many days as you can, make sure your photography is as good as it can be, and don't use Etsy ads until you are making a sale a day.
Good luck and let me know how it's going at the beginning of October.
Thank you for this video, you are the best!
Glad it helped!
So helpful! I’m working on setting up a POD business and you mentioned creating a slide show for the video. What would you include in the slideshow?
Different colors, different rooms, infographics.
Nice. And SEO is important to market the Shop.
Yes it is, make sure to watch this video, if you haven't already:
czcams.com/video/OPElFduVPf4/video.html
Nik, I’m just starting a Etsy store last month and following your advice of listing 1 item a day. My question is I have some items I can just make very slight changes (eg. from nurse to doctor) to target different sub-niches. Should I create one listing and add all the variations or create separate listings? Does each variation count towards one listing per day? Thanks!
Create separate listings, thanks Travis.
Hey, what do you think about if you have one item for digital products and you are just creating new variations like color variations different design etc, but you are still using the same keywords and tags. And you have for example more than 30 products that use these keywords as tags, is this bad for algorithm?
That's a good question about if you have same products that use same keywords but only slightly different because of the colours/designs. I'd love to know too if it hurts the algo and what's best.
Do you have an example of a store that has a great About page?
This a really good question. If I make planners, same type of planner but different colors 🤔
Hi, yes if its all the same, with the same keywords, this isn't a good idea, and is a very diluted product offering, UNLESS it has very low competition, in which case if the demand is there, it will sell.
See my reply to xdp

Found you yesterday, finally a no nonsense etsy channel! Hoping that this is going to be the game changer. I have 35 odd listing but am yet to do the proper seo you have set out. Should i deactivarte all but 1, tag etc properly and reactivate 1 at a time as if i am listing one at a time?

Id like to follow up regarding the last part wherein if no sales within a 1 year, which is better... Abandon the store and create a new one or just delete the items everything and start from scratch again i mean renaming the store, new sections and find a new niche

Hey Nik! 🌸 Is category command important if you’re selling one type? Eg: T-shirts. My research has told me to stick to one product type. Do I bother with category command? Thanks for all your content. You’re a star! 🌟
Hello, I have a video about it. Here you are:
czcams.com/video/ARm3ipq45ns/video.html
@@etsyconsultant hey Nik :) thanks for your response! just rewatched your video about category command and I doesn’t quite answer my question about a shop that specialises in one product type. I sell blank wellness journals. Some design types are working better than others. My customers seem to think less is more. How can I use category command for this? Does it still apply?
I really enjoyed this course and I've watched a couple of your other videos as well which I liked. Anytime I watch videos on Etsy stores I always have questions. Mostly questions about the contradictory suggestions and things like SEO. And they seem to make sense on either side but I just get confused on which way to go or which way is better. My shop is only 1 month old and I don't know if I should just keep making changes and improvements as I go or just scrap the whole thing and start over with a new store. I can give the link to my store if you're able to assess and let me know if it's even on the right track.
Hi there, thanks for your comment. I recommend that you book in for a call so that I can help you with this, link below:

I definitely need an about page. I don’t know what to write on it but I know I need to do it.
Hey Kai, yes you do. Just think of it as a TV advert for your store, its where you get to shout about your brand/business.
I can't edit store on my phone. Sunlight is the best light! Indoor light is dull or often yellow.
Yes, sometimes you have to do some editing on your pictures after you take them.
I've had my store for several years now but did not have any of this valuable information you presented in this video. Did not know this information was available on CZcams. Never showed up until now. I also watched the updated 2024 SEO video. My products are seasonal (cold weather/Winter) and I always did not renew when the products expired until the next season. Also what I have been doing is create a good amount of products, photos graph them and pick a date to sit and upload them all at the same time into the store. Finding out from the video that's not the way to do it. I will put them in draft and upload daily.
Do you review and critique a store if asked so improvement s maybe be made if applicable?
Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Hi Stephanie and thanks for your comment. Yes, I am the only one putting out this information because I am the only one who does this for a full time job, over the last 9 years.
I would definitely suggest booking in for a store critique, and you can do this on the link below:

Thank you! Amazingly helpful.
Thank you for your feedback!
Thank you for the excellent, informative video! Question: for POD items, is it a good idea to list multiple colorways for designs as separate listings (I don't think Printify allows for it within a single listing). Or would having extremely similar titles/tags across multiple colorway listings affect them negatively?
@juliemitchell9308 Hi Julie, with POD it is a listings numbers game so you need to have lots of unique designs and I would not list separate colors in separate listings.
@@etsyconsultant Thanks so much! That's very helpful.
Amazing video! Thank you.
You are very welcome!
This is great video. I just open store a week now, got 10 listings, but all I got the spam messages about my acct. and they asked to send them my email to confirm the account. It’s so upsetting 😢
Thanks for watching, yes it is frustrating, but they do die down after a month or two.
Nick, what if you don't have 13 materials? Do we need to fill all the spaces? Can you please make a video with your advices for people who have already a store that it's not going well? Thank you so much!!!

Great video, thank you! This may be a dumb question, but is this the 100 Listing New Etsy Store Course? I went to your website, and can't find it, so this video must be what you mean, correct? Or are you referring to a different course? 😬 Thank you again.
Correct, this is the course, hurry up and watch it because I will be removing this course soon.
This is excellent. Thank you🙏
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hello Nick!
You say to list one a day but who should be listings 5 a day or 8 a day?
Sellers with thousands of sales.
Thanks Nick, great video. One question - once having 100 listings with at least some consistent sales does Etsy then put more weight on your shop and its listings? Possibly Etsy no longer sees your shop as a startup and more legitimate?
Correct.
I have a dormant Etsy store. Should I start a new one and deactivate that store or can I keep that store and start back with these techniques.
Hey, yes keep the store and work on your listings!
Hi Nick, I found you last week via your podcast and have watched loads of your videos and taken notes - so helpful and to the point. I will be opening a Vintage home decor shop - when you talk about growing your shop sections equally/evenly, do you mean e.g. day 1 I list a vase (vase section), day 2 I list a set of candle holders, day 3 a framed artwork and so on, then once you get to day 7 I'd start the rotation again so I'd list another vase? Thanks in advance 😊
Thanks for listening to my podcast, I appreciate it! Yes, try to list evenly, to get a reliable signal from your customers about what they want to buy.
Hi Nick, I opened an Etsy store one year ago, but I only listed one item for a few months. Of course I got no sales. I watched most of your videos in the past two weeks and learned a lot from you. Now I have more products and plan to restart my Etsy business. Should I close the store and open a new one or is it ok to keep working on this store? thanks a lot
Hey, try to work on the current store instead of opening a new one.
I watched your video yesterday about all the things that are wrong with Etsy and it discouraged me greatly from actually starting with Etsy. What advice would you give a newcomer given the drawbacks of what's going on there? I would really appreciate an answer because I love following your videos and you gave me a lot of hope this could be the platform that I would like to use. Full disclosure, I don't make any products. I would be using print on demand.
Hi Diane, it is important that sellers understand the reality of selling on Etsy, too many CZcamsrs give advice that is not based in the real world unfortunately. However, definitely get set up on Etsy, there is a ton of opportunity if you are willing to put in the work.
My number 1 piece of advice I can give you is this: design will be your number 1 problem, so make sure you have the ability to work extensively on designs, and have months of time to put into it.
Good luck!
Great course! Quick question- how many items should I be listing a day in my situation? I just started my store back up about a month ago - I have 61 sales in total from the last few years and get a sale at least once a week since I started back up. Also a star seller. Can I lift up to 3 a day with my store?
Hi Sarah, no, I would list 1 a day, your store performance is way too low for 3 a day.
Thanks for the course. It helped to answer many questions. I have a question: What are your thoughts on the new Gift Mode feature? Thanks You!
I honestly don't think much of it, like Etsy's explore feature.
Greetings Nick,
I want to thank you for your informative tutorials. I have watched several. I am working on putting together my 100 listings.
Question: Currently, I have been working on an original idea for a mug before I heard your presentations. Through Printify, I have many options wherein I can display this creation on sweatshirts, and tee shirts. Also on pillows, phone cases, aprons, etc.,
This would be my very first listing. Should I only include one item at a time from the above group daily to position me with the Etsy algorithm? Or do I upload the entire group with "all" of the above product options mentioned above?
Please respond asap.
Thanks again.
I think I have answered this elsewhere Ellis.
@etsyconsultant Hi Nick, can you explain what you mean when you say to grow your 6 sections/categories evenly please?
Hi there, thanks for your comment. To help you understand imagine you have 6 sections, and these sections are labelled as 'professions'. You may have Doctors, Nurses, Teachers, Mechanics etc. Creating listings only in the mechanics section would not be growing your store evenly. I recommend that you would list in each category at an even pace, so one in the Doctor section, then one in the Teacher section. etc.....
@@etsyconsultant thanks so much for the clarification - I like how straight-forwardly you present information, it's refreshing & much easier to understand than you find elsewhere 🙂
