I commend you for taking the time to go through and answer questions. You don’t see a lot of that anymore. I just revised my Etsy shop and I’m committing to devoting 10 hours a week in 2024 to build it out and make it my main source of income. Thank you for the fantastic info!
Thank you friend 💛 Cheering you on as you work to build your shop! 👏🏻
I feel so identified with your intro! It made me laugh 😂😂😂😂! 🦗🦗🦗🦗 for almost a year …I should be cryging. I will don’t give up. I will follow your steps. Thanks!
Don’t give up friend! Keep pressing forward. Cheering you on! 🫶🏻
Thank you. I'm just starting, have got a couple of products on Etsy but not sure how to put them to Facebook. I will do more research.
Thank you for sharing such powerful formulas. It truly helps - specially a beginner like myself.
I’m so glad!! 🥰
Thank you for sharing this informative video! I'm excited to learn about the top selling product for Q1 2024.
You’re welcome!
totally agree with the part about selecting products that are already selling well. I have learned it the hard way with my POD store. After reworking on my product lists, things are getting better. Thank you so much for sharing such valuable lessons.
So glad to hear that!! 👏🏻👏🏻
Can you share about the product that you sell?
@@miadu1801 I have been working with a few hot products on Etsy. Reward jar for example.
@@trangluuha2034 Merchize has it. You can check them out
@@miadu1801 hi lady, I wanna suggest some special potential products in the upcoming Valentine's season such as mug, ornament, plaque, tshirt,...
This was an awesome video!
Thank you 😊
Glad you enjoyed it! 😊
Thank you for the video, lots of good info! I did the local pick up option on Etsy once and it lower my shipping/ tracking score for the star seller status. Just a heads up!
Thanks for commenting friend and sharing your experience!
what steps do you take to find the groups that allow posting a product OR do you make you engagement so interesting they go to your main profile and find the links or both? Maybe you can , well I need to see if you already have a video to that. Im making my rounds to channels and I have been getting your emails a long time,
I wish people would stop saying "Inspiration" is not copying because in some causes it is. If an item has a copyright, even "likeness" can bring legal action.
There definitely are cases where items are straight up copied. I’m not referring to this. I’m talking about getting ideas from product types and styles that are selling well as a starting point and taking it a step further to think of elements you could add or changes you could make so it has a unique selling point and stands out from the crowd ❤️
When you started selling wreaths, was this within the same shop that carried signs or you started another? If the same shop, how did you transition, adding a completely different product? Thank you
Yes it was the same shop. I introduced the wreaths alongside the signs since they both fit into the home decor niche. I eventually completely switched over to primarily wreaths once they started making the majority of sales in my shop.
Hi, Kate!
I'm in the process of taking photos of my products and looking into marketplaces or opening my own online store. I am thinking of using Easy but I have hard of people whose accounts have been closed or can't access their money because their accounts have been frozen. Im a bit hesitant about opening my store on Etsy because of this. Any advices would be much appreciated:)
❤
🥳😄
Can I ask you a question regarding SEO? I use tools such as Everbee and Erank to get good keywords but I notice some of these keywords are longer than the permitted tags in Etsy. How do you target these keywords if you can't enter them as tags? I mean apart from using them in your title and description?
Just try to get as close to those keywords in your tags as possible, but it’s okay to break them up if they exceed the character count
@@KateHayes thank you for your reply. I thought this might be the case.
Hi!. I'm studying the platform and still don't get it quite well but one of the things I liked the most were I was starting my research was the fact that you don't need to get the product or take any pictures because etsy provides you the background and everything just for you to upload the product you've created on canva or any other page. Can i get some direction on this?
Hi friend. Are you trying to sell Print on Demand? Etsy does not provide images for your listing photos but you can purchase mock-ups on Etsy if that’s what you’re looking for
Hi, I currently have my Etsy store but not getting many sales. I was wondering if you offer personal help?
Is it a "niche" if you keep changing what you offer in your shop based on the trends?
For Etsy tag, do you use spaces between words?
Yes!
the horrible truth is... spending more hours with marketing than actually creating. I can create a bundle of products in 1-2 days. It takes me longer to do mock ups, titles, description, listing, posting on social media (and im really lazy with the social media posting). The marketing side of things is where the joy is being taken away. I understand that we need it to drive customers to our products but Im sitting here wondering if it is really worth doing this when the horrible things that i hate doing takes longer for me to do than what I really want to be doing and that is designing products. So what would your advice be for someone who would rather just create products and not bother with social media, Ads and all that horrible part?
Hey Kate! I'm experiencing my first proper Christmas season with regular sales between 7-20 per day and OMG the customer service aspect is intense: out-of-stock items, missing tracking numbers, late items, lost items, orders by mistake, Printify Live Chat marathons (+ a few personalized orders)🤯I spend all day reacting and talking to customers or Printify Live Agents and trouble-shooting. How do high-volume sellers even handle 40-100 daily sales without burnout? How do you take a day/weekend off or manage your shop when you get sick. Is it possible to make this sustainable and scale-able without becoming exhausting? Grateful for any advice❤
Thanks friend for reaching out. First of all, congrats on the success! Second of all, what a great question and one I’ve experienced all too well! 🫣
While I don’t have time here to get into every thing you mentioned, just know for most Christmas is extra extra busy. Typically our busy begins heavily in October and peaks toward the end of November and declines about this time, right before Christmas. In actuality, about half ours sales in previous years have come in those two months or so. This is typical for many sellers, though I hope you see consistency throughout the year, too! Much of the issues, we have worked out through trial and error, to be honest. Testing shipping providers, sourcing a multitude of suppliers (instead of being depending on one), preordering best/top seller materials as to not run out, and hiring temporary help during this season. I remember one Christmas many years ago having my husband hitting every Walmart within a 2 hour radius of us just to get supplies as our supplier had run out! That was a profitable but insane Christmas! It took us probably three years to figure a system to tackle the holidays and even now, we know they are just going to be harder. But they don’t have to consume your life, ether. Hope this helps! Cheering you on!
@@KateHayes thank you so much for responding Kate ❤️ happy holidays to you and your family 🎄
You too, friend! ☺️
I have new digital download shop 3 months old and i have 18 sales,it is good?
Awesome job! That’s a great start!
SOOO
In other words, if your product is not Handmade. Than you can just forget sale's.
Not at all! There are plenty of products that are not handmade that do great on Etsy (digital, print on demand, etc) 😊
i need account etsy
You can sign up in just a few steps on their website!
All the Facebook groups say no selling.
Some don’t allow it but some do, they may just have specific rules like only posting on a certain day of the week/month :)
I didn't understand, I'll sell Instagram post templates. But What will be the size of 1st page listing? Will the size of first page that customers are seeing, the 1st page size is Esty listing size or Instagram post template size ( 1080 × 1080 px)?
Would you tell me the matter@kate hayes? Cuz, I'm confused 😕
Are you asking what size the listing photos should be? You can find that information here: help.etsy.com/hc/en-us/articles/115015663347-Requirements-and-Best-Practices-for-Images-in-Your-Etsy-Shop?segment=selling
@@KateHayes I did read entire info. But I couldn't figure out one thing that all pages Will it be Etsy listing size or Instagram post template size? Now, I'm stuck in this problem. I'll sell Instagram post templates. So Dear, Would you give me an example? If i sell Instagram post templates what size will be all pages that's means (1 to 10 pages size). Dear, If you give me an example, it will be beneficial for me. ❤️
@@wahidayara8534 listing sizes are 2000X2000 px so list the product photos mockup this size. Then send the buyer the 1080X1080 file
