Shawna every time I watch one of your videos all I think is I wish I lived closer to you and that we were friends so you could show me how to leave my teaching job and do Etsy full-time LOL I too am a general store where I'm focusing on several nieces, but the constant feedback I get is that I need to niche down because I only have five or six of one type of niche in my store.... I've already paid to KZfaq gurus to tell me that and it's the same thing that they preach on their channel where I'm looking for feedback for what I'm trying to do and I feel like you would get that

@shawnalynn2083 3 ай бұрын

Hey there Robyn! I would totally stick with the general store if I were you but you still could and should niche down within the niches you are working in. Just choose a few niches that have good search volume and that you are either getting traction in your shop (views or sales) or niches that you just personally love! Find all the little rocks to turn over within them and list there consistently over time! For example... with the teacher niche I make teacher shirts, seasonal designs, specific grade level and even other designs like cafeteria or administrators. Hope this helps!

@almagjim 3 ай бұрын

Shawna you always have great information that we can apply to make our shop better. I sometimes feel so overwhelmed because I still haven’t gotten any traction. I almost want to ditch my niche down store and go for a general store and see how that works with one product. How many products in one niche would you recommend adding for the algorithm to notice that new niche? Thanks 😊

@shawnalynn2083 3 ай бұрын

Hey there! I would totally just try adding some more niches to your shop to see if you can grab some traction somewhere else... I would probably keep adding to which ever niche you have been working on too. I would suggest at least 50 designs before you say you gave it a real try... but the truth is if you really want that niche and you know it is profitable... you do as many as it takes to get on the map! That is what I did with the teacher niche... took me more than 50 but I make so much money there now and it was so worth it! I hope this helps!

Also, since a lot of us are beginners, could you please make a video and explain for POD sellers logistics such as what to do when a customer marks a purchase as gift? Should we use the new economy shipping in our shops? Does it save the seller shipping cost or is this saving to be passed on to the customers? Will slow shipping have negative effect on conversion rate? Thank you so much!

Do you have a video on writing great descriptions? Do you recommend writing a fresh one for each listing, or do you have a template that you use? I feel like it would be easiest to just have a copy and paste template that you just change the specifics. I heard that Etsy doesn't really focus on the description, but Google reads the whole thing.

I really love this gals' videos. Her energy is inspiring and contagious. But I'll make a general comment as I'm watching. As a newbie trying to fill out my store and gain any traction at all, I am being pulled in every direction. Eventually I would love to have multiple types of products - phone cases, wall art, pillows, whatever. Not sure yet. I have an arts background, so I am trying to focus on more artistic and creative products rather than say, funny t-shirts for nurses. But anyway, with all these videos I am pulled in a hundred different directions on how to be proceed and be productive. It can lead to paralysis, which I think is common. Not sure how to overcome that.

@PowerofPODwRileigh 3 ай бұрын

Go where the data tells you. What is consistently selling? Pick 1-2 related products and 3-5 related niches. Be specific, not just funny nurses. Something with less competition

SHOW ME THE MONEY!!! :D You said you have a general store and you're obviously successful with that. Some other sellers say to niche down and build a brand around a particular niche.

Great video, thank you for sharing your knowledge!

I would make the amping/hiking/outdoorsy one of my main niches if I were you... adding to it every single week for the whole year an then I would also let myself do seasonal items and maybe work in another 2 or 3 niches I was interested in.... I would double down in any niche I started to get traction in. Hope this helps!

Hi! I watch your channel with a notepad. Question if you don't mind? If we have a design we can scale, such as "Born in 1990, Born in 1991 etc) should we make these their own listings? Or one customizable listing? I've been doing multiple listings of things like these for one, my listings are spread out in searches due to SEOs, and two, I feel like people partially look for certain things very specifically. If I were looking for a "98 tee shirt I think I might scroll right past one that says "91. I hear people don't always read the titles therefore missing the word "personalized" This is a lot of work though but if it'll be worth it in the long run I am more than willing. Sorry this is so long. Have a wonderful day ❤️

@shawnalynn2083 3 ай бұрын

Hey there! I have struggled with this too! So I like to scale it out and change the SEO and the main mock up image. However.... I have a drop down menu with the ones I predict will be the most popular and a custom option too... I would try maybe 5 to 7 years in your example that would be likely to be the most popular and if one of my designs gets traction I might double back and do some additional years for that design. I hope this helps!
