    It's so tough to decide how to start. Advice from one is "stick to one product" and you can have loads of niches. Advice from another who was reviewing someone's site selling one product is "you're designs are all over the place". I need to figure this part out.
    But you have good advice for starting... which i haven't done yet. I REALLY need to rewatch the mock-up part.

Interested in suggestion for adding the +etsy to email address. Unfortunately, I previously signed up for my store prior to watching, Is this something I can also update using a email address already set up? does it require you to "change your email address" Curious to know if you have the answer before I take the time to dig in! Save time to focus on designing. Thanks again for your generosity in the information and tools you share.

      However, I've started afresh and now have around 25 listings, and everything is going well again.

    Alek really like your encouraging videos. Please help explain more on the shipping side of this process. What to select for shipping and what about taxes? I am trying not to overthink this like you mentioned about picking shop name and logo but the shipping and taxes part I do worry about. Also how do I know if what I submitted on the product really does fit the product? I need to purchase to verify right? I ask because I am confused about ratios of design to placing on product.

    and what happens if somebody doesn't like my product and wants to send it back?

    Alek you’re great, but something I have found out from watching your videos is, I wish I had a more powerful computer

      Me too. Mine was given to me and that great but it is super old and not right for graphics and heavy internet work at all.

    I already got a product/idea to sell: some custom digital art. How do I upload it on Etsy with the mockup like you said? How do I sell it through Etsy? And what should I sell it through Printify? Through mugs, shirts or something else?
