By far the single most informative person on youtube on how to start a side hustle on Etsy!

Your videos have helped me so much in starting my Etsy shop. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

Great video, Im going to start sending people your way that are clearing up debt and need to now make more money to get by. Keep it up. Love what you do!!!

Maybe others can answer this for me. Alek I am making my way through your videos. Thank you for making them. I love you admitted that you "Made every excuse possible not to work on your Etsy store" for the first few weeks after the 26 listings. Makes you totally relatable. My question is: How automated is having an Etsy store once it is created and you start making listings? I know the more work you put into it, directly correlates to how successful you will be, but when a client orders a print on demand item linked to Printify, assuming that there is no client issues, what tasks do you need to performs as the store owner? Like I said I have been making my way through your videos and maybe this is mentioned somewhere but I want to try and do as you suggested, where I keep my current job but start a store as a side hustle to increase my annual income. Im a dad with 2 young kids and a full time job and I'm trying to decide if the amount of time necessary to just keep the store running without hug improvements to it is doable. Maybe a breakdown of how much time it takes to minimally manage the store would let me know. Or a breakdown of what tasks take a certain amount of time out of the complete time of managing the store. Feel free other store owners to give you feedback as well. Thanks again.

there is always something valuable in your videos. I never heard of photoleap but looks like a great tool I can use right now

Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge. In this era, we need to strive hard to set up a business or side hustle at least to make the ends meet. Stay motivated people!

I love these helpful videos.

Must say, you are always dropping very informative vids. I'd be curious though if you could do a video on how do you typically handle returns or ways of handling other issues that arise with the buyers.

Thank you for this video. ❤

Agree with what Alek said. Crafty niche is a huge market. I like shop 1 idea. I like the sticker shop idea as well. I found a shop who does text only sticker and they make over 20k sales!! Damn they just use commercial font too. That’s so lucrative they don’t need tech or art skill doing text only digital download store.

Always good to see your content, I hope you keep up great work in future as well 😀Regarding this topic, in my opinion the easiest way to make money now is through dropshipping. I've been doing it for a year now and have learned that the biggest difference between average and successful dropshippers is having product(s) with true value to your customers (the catch is that I am using a bit of winnerzila. They update their product list weekly, which makes it easier to stay in touch with market trends and find winning products).

so much information thank you so much...

Really informative!

Good evening Alek. I'm so interested in to opening my own store using Etsy.But now Im at South Africa. I will go through your videos to get more information. Thank you.

Really helpful content.👍❤

Awesome ideas 👍🏼

You just earned my respect and subscription, a rare achievement. Keep up the good work!

Could you do an entire video on how to advertise your POD products? Great stuff! Thanks!

Thank you

What to do about IP? trademarking and/or copyrighting? Say, coming up with a slogan and wishing to protect said slogan.

Very good info. Just discovered you. About to start on this journey

your videos are helpful but can you make a video which shows us the policies which we have to consider when signing up for etsy or printify

Thank you so much for sharing these wonderful ideas and suggestions. They really help a lot. A question I would humbly like to ask is what are some proven strategies to market and advertise one's business on a low budget in addition to social media where the markets already seem saturated? Thanks in advance for your time.

Great video. I would love some additional information about digital papers and graphic downloads, please

Alek, this question youve likely seen before but what etsy business would be the most attainable, lowest barrrier to entry, most forgiving of newbie mistakes? I.e. T-shirts, mugs, art prints, something else..

Hi Alek! Thank you so much for such helpful and clear videos. I would like to know how you handle customer service. Is it super time-consuming and frustrating, or is it easy to handle? I have heard it's very time-consuming. Do you have a video about that, or can you make one? Thanks!

You are the best, Alek! I love all these suggestions. I would love to see videos about creating stickers. I have looked into it but confused myself with all the different types of stickers and how to use each type. I also do not know how how to create the sticker packs. Also, I would greatly appreciate a detailed video on how to create the personalized portraits. Would you consider doing tutorials on these 2 topics? Thank you in advance! I hope you have a great weekend!

I’m a complete newbie here, so can you explain, when a sale is made on Etsy, who pays me ultimately? Is it Etsy or is it Printify? And how often can I withdraw profits?

How do you know if a digital file doesn't contain virus / malware / trojan?

Can we sell directly on Printify? If yes, why then people sell on Etsy things that are from Printify?

Do you recommend enabling automatic routing, or something like that. I’m in Australia but obviously the biggest market is the US. Is it best to cater to the US and the customers here in Australia just wait a week or two for products, or do I enable the routing option so some things could be done closer to the customer…I’ve heard most people say no, don’t enable it. What’s you it advice on this?

HI Alek, very informative - a question, is it ok to start one Etsy shop selling a multiple of these ideas e.g. all 7 product types under one shop or is it better to do just one product in one shop? Thank you

When showing shop sales figures, do you have any way of knowing whether or not they utilize paid advertising?

I’m wondering how to market this.

Alek, great stuff on your channel - quick question, I'm interested in your course, but I don't use Photoshop... I use Canva, Kittl, and Photoshop elements... will your course still be appropriate for me? Thanks a lot, Deb

Hello from Morocco 🇲🇦

Hi, Alek. For multiple side hustles, would you recommend different etsy shops, or all in one shop?

Things he doesnt mention is etsy charges you per listing and for renewing listings. There is also A LOT. Of scammers posing as etsy staff that try to say your account is suspended in hopes to get you to click theor links and give access to your information!

alek what is your recommendation for those who can't open their etsy shop in country like ethiopia ?

whats the best and cheapest print on demand?

Okay, who else is mind-blown by the spreadsheet hustle? 💼📊 From budgeting to financial planning, it's like turning data into dollars!

Hey Alek, I have been watching your videos from Kenya, was wondering if you offer a one on one on things I might need clarification about. Is there a way I can reach you? Would appreciate your response

Hi Having watched a number of your videos I am very keen to start but to start is so confusing. What is your advise for a newbe as where and how to start.

Where can i do it with a lifetime etsy bun?

The sticker business please and graphic papers 🎉

Don’t know if this made it through, but what about this question from a few weeks ago: “I thought Etsy changed their AI product usage terms. Can you speak to the changes terms?”

Where is the link for automation in Printify?

Just curious, what are your Etsy shops' names?

what is that add-on called to see the sales of the store?

Wow, super interesting stuff. Thanks! I have a question. I"m curious if you have tried Printful and if so, why do you prefer Printify over Printful?

Is there a way to pay out to multiple people in the back end of Etsy. For example to split monthly profit payouts with a partner or as a way to pay royalties for art work? I know a whole community of painters, and a print on demand shop where they all can get exposure would be a gold mind. But they won't just want to sell their digital versions for a flat one-time fee. Plus they become marketing partners. So paying them would be easier through the backend of my shop thru Etsy, or do I have to handle that separately through my PayPal account?

I want to start apparel business but some people of my entourage is telling me that it’s saturated? Do u advice still to do it?

Hello... I am a 49 year old woman who works 2 jobs just to make ends meet. I just had to put all my credit card debt to a debt relief company. I have 4 dogs that I now cook all their meals which can be very costly. I have 2 children 15 and 11 which I care for. The kids and my fogs are ny entire world. I would do anything for them. I am so exhausted... I saw your video and was wondering if you could PLEASE help me get started with an Etsy shop and one of these side hustles in your video. Would you be willing to work with me one on one???

Hi Alex one question if I wanna edit an image design on my Etsy listing let’s say a mug picture do I have to change it in printify as well it will change automatically or I need to do a new listing thanks

Does the uploader program include anything for SEO?

How do I connect my Etsy shop to Printify? It should be simple but something's blocking it from happening. Can you cover this in slow motion? lol

hi Alex, great video thanks. I am in Canada so in Etsy can I sell to USA too? I downloaded your upload tool and installed it, another thank you. However after pasting to token in, nothing appeared unlike your items, what is wrong? Cheers, Steve

If i start a knew shop store for one of this niche , should i make etsy ads to sell !?

I thought Etsy changed their AI product usage terms. Can you speak to the changes terms?

Bro 👋 Can you make a video about seo on etsy plz.

Hey i opened my acc 1 week ago and yesterday they suspended temporary, and today they send me a mail that it’s permanently suspended. Could you explain the reasons and what to do?

wich tool do use to spy pls ??

Don't forget to tell everyone... you need to pay Printify before Etsy will pay You. Money up front! Just sayin'

Hello bro does have PayPal mode of payment? And it's possible to start without kapital in print on demand and just using phone only!

Product uploaded didn't work for me

Yeaaa the money is in making *KZfaq Videos* about all this AI stuff lmaoooo

SEO = Search Engine Optimization

Hey Alek, should the "shop country" always be the US even though said seller is not located there? Or should it be the seller's country?

I am wondering when you mention that the business relies on dropshipping , does that mean with each single order do we have to take the order information and plug it manually in the website that will ship the product ? Or there is automated way to send the order info to the website which will ship and process the order? I wish you answer my question

Would you have to set up a LLC?

Why isn't it working in Nigeria??

Ok say I want to make shirts with quotes from semi famous to any famous people or a historical figure and of course put the name on it. Can I do that or would the system come for me? Like I would use one of many quotes from the Joker. Is WB going to come for me?

so this is a place I can sell my artwork, do I have to live in the USA to do this?

Isn't it against Etsy policy to not have at least some hand in the designs you are selling?

*I'm favoured, $60K every week! I can now give back to the locals in my community and also support God's work and the church. God bless America.*

Hi Alek and everyone! I just wanted to know if there is someone like me here that has a ton of questions if this will work for someone living in the Philippines like me? Inputs is definitely appreciated, happy selling and stay dangerous! 😊

My etsy account has been permently banded

I have noticed that these shops tend to be selling one or two items. Is it a bad idea to open a shop that sells all kind of things based on a theme? So shirts, stickers, mugs, and so on based on a theme.

What is the app that lets you upload all those designs at once. You said there would be a link

can i be a creator on esty outside of USA? specifically SEA countries

How do you make so the bank doesn't find it weird to have huge amounts of money every month?

Doesn't amazon take a70% fee?

So, lets say I wanted to do all 7 of these side hustles. Would you recommend opening 7 different Etsy shops, or is it OK to sell multiple different items in 1 Etsy shop?

Your blowing my mind... What you are saying here is people would rather buy a sticker or T-Shirt from someone else that just make it themselves for less money. WTF? Please confirm I understand what you are saying here!

How can they sell t-shirts for 14usd. The pod company is taking 10usd

I can never find any legitimate stay at home work I can do

Lol - assembling a budget sheet and says, there's no math involved... yeah right.

All very nice but...how do you get people to find your shop? THAT is the issue I'm having...ZERO traffic.

👀

hello boss my country name is bangladesh.etsy doesn't give store in bangladesh can u give me etsy store.

You are asumming they are not spending any time or money marketing. I created a few books and have zero sales.

Do you use Midjourney 5.2 instead or 6.0 and if so do you ever use v4? Thanks

people open shop without promoting themselves first. put yourself as the customer, why you will go to nobody's shop.

14:17 The one he is stalking or planning to stalk

love your videos and you have helped me reach my first 10k as a 14yr old

The difficult part is to get sells

Printify sticker packs wholesale: with shipping like $9 so you'll have to sell them at $16/$19 good luck competing with shops sellinf stickers a $2 😂😂

You look and sound like Mikerophone

People are catching on to this guy. He does videos because it’s more lucrative for him. Doesn’t give secrets and recycles topics
