After having a really slow start with Print On Demand, and only getting 100 sales in her first 6 months, she turned it all around. She joined my mentorship program when she had sold $100,000 and took everything I had to teach and ran with it and now has sold over 1.5 million on Etsy in 3.5 years! Check out this tell all interview where she shares what worked for her and how you can implement what she's learned in your very own store!

I’m at almost $1.6 million on Etsy but it’s taken me 10 years, not 3!! It’s pretty incredible that she’s grown that much in such a short period of time!!

Did I say something wrong? My response has been deleted. I’m new here on this channel. Was I not allowed to mention my shop name?

I am new to owning an Etsy store. I got my first sale 15 days in and it was a sale of 30 of one item! That was awesome! Now I am waiting to get my next sale. I have almost been open for one month so far.

@theoracledragonlove Ай бұрын

Hi, ladies! I’ve been following Shawna’s way of picking a niche, gathering all the best tags etc and doing all the research and the design. Then just scaling out from there as much as I can and combine with other niches as I go. Very efficient way imo, but I don’t have 100 sales in six months nor 1000 designs, but videos like this make me want to just keep going. Thank you xx

@lld1664 Ай бұрын

Thanks ladies, hearing the listing numbers you guys aimed for eg 500 Christmas listings is inspiring, gives me some concrete goal posts instead of just having a flaky idea of what I need to put in. Also just remembering that it is more of a long game to keep the overwhelm at bay!

@dcroz93 Ай бұрын

@karlamurphy9934 Ай бұрын

Biggest takeaway is you have to payoff the ignorance debt! Do more = learn more = become profitable. Business succeeds with the compounding effect. The only time this doesn’t apply is when you don’t have time. In that case, you pay someone to teach you or to do it for you. Awesome content! Thank you.

Thank you for such an insightful and realistic video. I love how we can see that Shawna speaks with so much honesty and is so genuine in her words of encouragement while still being realistic. I resonated with so much of what she said and it really hit me hard on the topic of being someone who takes no for an answer and stays consistent because one believes it is POSSIBLE to achieve that which one is striving for. Loved this interview ❤. Thank you Cassidy

Thank you Cass and Shawna! I have been watching you guys since 2022 and what you guys share is really valuable! I can really relate to this video and feeling overwhelmed at times working 16+ hours a day. I can often get overwhelmed by trying to be everything for everyone and then I start to spiral out and end up not actually listing items....lol. I really need to create a schedule from MR-Designing-Listing-AD management-SM....Can you guys do a day in the life of...or how you schedule out your days..I am a little over 200 sales after almost 2 years. I am realizing that my designs are too busy and that I need to spend more time on Etsy and learning what the design aesthetic is. Love learning from you guys!!!

Thank you ladies for taking the time to teach us more. As a beginner on Etsy and with the biggest challenge I've had, which is the language, (I think I've passed the test 🤣). And you give me the guidelines and energy to continue on this path that I chose for my retirement. I am looking for a good mentor to help me succeed in this challenge that is not at all easy. Thank you a thousand times for this great video

First I love both of you alls openness, transparency and knowledge. I started my store in August chasing the Back to School niche but obviously very late. My question for you all is, I understand the power of a general store, however, how do you not end up with a niche store once you double down on what works in a given niche?

How many listings do you have to have in your shop before opening your POD shop? I'm TOTALLY going to try this, but I work as well part-time. We have two very high tuitions this year, and I am tired of my sleepless nights - I LOVE to design so I'd love to take the leap. You are both so inspiring! 😍

@ronbloxianmemes3643 Ай бұрын

Hi Cassiy! Thank you so much for such informative content! I learn a lot from you. Just had a question. So when you say 500 Christmas listings, you mean the listings should just be focused on Christmas theme? Or does it mean to have at least about 500 listings in niches that are in demand and not necessarily has Christmas theme or colors? (Excuse my screen name, at some point my son logged into my account and all my content is under here now lol). Thank you, Nonika.

@mindymcbride6044 Ай бұрын

Such inspiration! I'm deterrmined to be where she is. Quick question - can you give some direction on 500 Christmas listings? Is it just finding a few niches and completely swamp them with Christmas designs? I thought we should focus more on evergreen. Can you help, Cassiy? Thank you!

eso es correcto. hay que tener fondos para cubrir los pedidos ya que etsy no te paga de inmediato. por lo menos no a los nuevos vendedores.

Hi Cassiy - Thank you so much for all of your great content. I'm new to this world of POD. I watched your video on how to upload mock ups to Printify and for some reason when I upload a mock up it has a weird overlay of Pritify's mockups with mine and I've tried everything I can think of but nothing is fixing the problem. I'm wondering if you might be able to help me?

@CassiyJohnson Ай бұрын

You actually will upload your mockups to Etsy after publishing the Printify product to Etsy! So the mockups never go on Printify's website!

does anyone have any advice? I started my shop in February, got over 300 listings up and going, over the next 3 months. I only had 3 sales. then life got busy and the shop got put on the back burner. in June I made another sale so now am like ok, maybe i should get back to this. I have 1 five start review as well. But im worried since I havent been active for the past 3 months, should i just start over?

@CassiyJohnson 12 күн бұрын

No you shouldn’t just start over, your shop now is totally fine! It took Shawna 9 months to get hers going and then it really took off obviously over the next few years so no need to start a new one. Yours is still pretty new!

Good luck, as a new store owner you'll be shut down in a few days regardless you are doing everything to the letter. It escapes me why would anyone put all of their hard work and marketing effort into a corporation like this such as Etsy.
