Curious about my program and coaching? --> dylanjahraus.com/pricing

I ❤ you! #6 definitely helped me gather more ideas. I already thought something useful works best! I will give it a try. And Ive also downloaded your checklist! Thank you!

Hi Dylan, you mentioned in one of your videos that some sellers on Etsy who provide high quality, unique products often thrive on the platform in spite of the common advice given that posting a new listing every day (etc), on your new shop is the only way to succeed. It'd be interesting to hear more of your thoughts on this - for all of the makers & creators out there who are aware that creating a high quality product of value on a daily basis is oftentimes an unrealistic goal to set.

Love your videos! I'm looking at DIY craft kits in future!

OMG you crack me up! I completely agree with you! I’ve been working on my own shop and I’m so tired of hearing everyone say the same thing!

I had a shop I closed because I got overwhelmed, but I did great with blankets! I will eventually put them in my current store, but probably my shopify.

How to Win In A Saturated Niche--> kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r51jiLJprauupIU.html

Hi, loved your video. Thank you so much for taking the time to do and post this. I am having ALOT of trouble trying to figure out what products to list that will actually sell. The type of online store that I have been trying to get up and running, for quite some time, is a store that focuses on selling personalized items and gifts. as well as personalizing items that customers may already have. The problem with this is that there are endless possibilities to what I can create and advertise and i feel that having such a broads selection may not work as well as one may think. I feel having too many items may be too much. I think i may need to find my niche, which I don't know what my niche could be. I am able to produce items such as: wall décor (pictures, vinyl decals), clothing, dishware (personalized mugs, plates, tumblers, glasses, thermos' and so much more), blankets, pillows and/or pillow cases, shower curtains, towels, labels, tote bags, make up bags, outdoor decor, signs (decor, directional, picture prop for example: a picture prop sign for a 1st Day of school and including things like age, fav food or book and so on), greeting or holiday cards, Memory Boxes (graduation memory box to put cap and gown in if just one example)memorial items, personalized items for pets and more items than I can name. I even have market for personalizing bongs, rolling trays. Which I wanted to sell as a package kind of thing (bong, rolling tray, ash tray, lighter and a little, round case) Also, because it is a store composed of personal items/gifts, I can make and sell picture video slideshows for any occasion or event one may wish. For example, a picture video slideshow as a memorial, filled with photos of a passed loved one, or A graduation picture slideshow showcasing pictures from birth - graduation. With these I can add whatever music one may want, as well as text throughout the video. I also have other skills I can hone, which is creating templates or other digital files, which do not really fit into the personalized store theme. I was planning on calling my online store "Personally Yours" or "Yours Personally"., whereby I would add the name to the back of every product followed by a space where the buyer would write their name, especially if item is a gist. Basically the same idea as ending a letter with Yours Personally or Personally Yours followed my your name. It is a bit harder to explain in text, but I imagine you get the idea. However, upon further research this seems to be a very popular name. I was thinking of going with "kiss and Sell" I chose this because I am not making the items totally from scratch. I am taking an item and putting my own touches on it and/or personalizing it for someone. For instance if someone wanted a mug with a quote on it. I would buy the mug but decal/personalize it myself

Love this!!

Dog bandanas & coffee cozies. Thank you Dylan!

Just discovered your channel a few days ago & aim hooked! I make crochet home decor like buntings, pillows, table decor etc. and wearable accessories: handwoven scarfs, headbands, hats... It's rather time consuming, but this is what I'd really want to do, sooooo 🤔 how do I go about it? Would love to see videos made for the (hand)maker-crew 🙃

Hi Dylan! Can you make a video about posting high quality items vs. posting frequency? How do you approach ranking on Etsy?

Thank You.

Saw the title, said let me see. Then thought, who is this lady..Then listened to her all the way through and she lit every light bulb switch in my head. Very smart thinker. We have our own websites, after 2020 it was almost doomsday. Started using our Etsy shop in august of 2020 and we did $1700 that year. Last year we did $70k. Gotta try different things and push what works.

thanks for the video :)

I love that you go against the grain!

Thanks

amazing

I have seen most of your videos but I have never heard you talk about digital patterns for crochet or macrame items. Like graphical patterns. Could you maybe post come content on those as well? Thank you

Hello, Do you think opening a shop with travel mugs, aprons and journals is a good idea? Thank you for your help :)

I was trying to niche down by doing just mason jars in the coffee cup nitch. would the different words on mason jars work as well as for coffee cups? In that store I have 3 nitches-mason jars, candles and compacts and I do not plan on adding anything else. I figured there is one connection-they are all made of glass. I have just started another store with digital products. I was doing math homework, flowers,clip art, etc. I don't want to make anything. I just want to sell something from creative fabrica. Should I decide on one digital product? thanks

How about handmade handbags, market bags, or crossbody bags? Is it worth it. Or is Etsy already saturated with these products?

Different (ex. Aries- Sagittarius) Zodiac and astrology greeting cards with detailed information on the back and inside of the card. Ex: about, likes dislikes, crystals and gems, animals associated, plants associated, celebrities same birthday,... etc.

Always pure gold🎉

What do you think about digital clipart (both handmade and Ai generated)?

I decided to open a store when I was inspired by your videos. I couldn't dare for a long time, so thank you for your work😊 but there are no sales or even visits to the store, although I have watched many of your videos and tried to follow your recommendations, but at the moment it is not working...😔

Hi , do you coach only sellers of digital product or finished product as well ?

I sell coding related pod items (for software engineers, programmers, medical coders, coding/decoding passionates, etc.), started with t-shirts but not getting any success. Then I thought since women are the main buyer on Etsy, maybe they'll be more inclined to buy "safer", more gift-kind like items (because with t-shirt size you never really know unless you are very close to the person), also as I scanned the keywords on everbee I've seen more demand for coding gifts, mugs, mousepads than t-shirts. So now I'm trying to create those, only started a couple of days ago. Still, I'm wondering if the niche I picked (and I picked because of my personal interests and history) has any perspective.

I'm a watercolor artist... too funny! I have to figure out how to make my art useful. lol

I sell fox inspired mugs ,t-shirts and pillows.Funny ,rude ,cute, personalised messages.I am new on this platform and not sure I’m on the right track,as I haven’t had any sales yet.Any advice ?🙏🏻❤️

So one of the items you showed was a notebook/planner even though you said apron. Also, I'm guessing mugs & T-shirts for the AI art. I know you said no pillows, but wouldn't that be considered bedding, or more in terms of throw pillows?

Thank you so much for sharing your insights. It's hard starting out, especially with so many considerations to account for. I have an Etsy shop to sell my paintings. I paint animals, abstracts, and garden/flower scenes. In the span of over a year I've tried various things (lowered prices, raised prices, offered free size upgrade), but I can't seem to make any sales. I would love to hear your opinion about art sales.

I would love your opinion on having a shop that just started and creating a line in that shop of clothing...... I have a lot of unique hobbies that I know people buy specific types of shirts and things for...... So would it be okay to have one shop name but under that have lines with different names? Ps I've been posting on your videos a lot LOL I'm a new shop started October 13th, and I've made 2 sales so far which I feel pretty happy with bc for the first month I did so the things I shouldn't have in chasing other people's ideas instead of just doing me

I love embroidery, and recently I put some DIY embroidery kits in my shop, but I don't have the sales I expected, is this a good product to sell?

I'm thinking of selling printable invitations, greeting cards, gift cards, for various events and occasions, will that still work?

I want to start a new digital shop on etsy. What niche do you suggest

Love what you said. I sell plants on etsy my shop is successful but I would like to expand my shop into vintage etc. anything to improve my shop. I wanted to add potted tradescantia to my shop but the overhead cost is high and shipping the delegate plant take too much to pack. What would you suggest?

I'm a Native American artist/craftsman. I want. . to sell Native arts and crafts items, music Flutes, Pipes, prints, and other craft items on Etsy. Do you think this is a viable option? I currently sell my items at Shows. Thank you, Jack

Your hair color is gorgeous, here. I know it isn’t the subject of the video, but I really like this color on you. You’re a beautiful woman. 😊

Im selling unique earrings but theyre not selling...ive done everything i think i can do. Maybe more pictures but my pix are pretty good.

U don’t rec POD for all kids apparel because a lot of sellers r selling it at such a low price (can’t compete)? Even if I feel like I have unique designs?

Just clicked your link but it doesnt have a pricing to your program?

Hi, I want to sell ai-generated character portraints ( and other digital art) for D&D (Dungeons and Dragons game). What is your opinion?

Since people can generate thousands of pieces of AI art so fast. Do you think Etsy will eventually put set up restrictions for AI art eventually and separate them from hand made art vs AI generated?

I want to sell digital checklists but I know it is super flooded so I'm trying to figure out ways to make them interesting. I'm willing to put in the time if I know they would sell. Ps. FAB video - all great points!

I sell goat milk soaps, lotions, sugar scrubs, bath bombs, candles, and wax melts. What’s your thoughts?

And is real digital hand made artwork a way to go?

I am wanting to sell hand made paper crafts like cards, advent calendars, gift bags and party favors. Please help? Am I wasting my time?

I am making a new form of candles

Not really agree with what not to sell items. This items are selling really well though.

Are you referring to just AI art out all art in general?

Phone cases just beginning need help

"Is it okay to open a general store without a specific niche?"

Wait. You said over a million dollars in revenue and then over a million dollars in profit. Which is it?

Digital templates for shadowboxes, is that just a dead trend from years ago.

Balm lips

Even before AI, wall art was absolutely not recommended.

AI wall art is just yeaaa I cant with it 🤦‍♀️ also on the other items that’s why I make it all myself 💪 take out that middle man
