It's been about 6 months now since I've started up my print on demand shop and I wanted to update you guys on it. These are real results from someone who works their full time job at the moment.

Love the fact that you're sharing "realistic" results. So much of KZfaq is cluttered with "I made 6 figures in 60 days" type of content. And while I'm not knocking that as it does happen for some, it's not the norm and makes everyone else feel like they don't have what it takes. #SoNotTrue The steady turtle still wins the race. Thanks for sharing:)

@wanderlustoceans8205 6 ай бұрын

Omg so true like when I see those kind of videos it actually discourage me and make me feel just give up, but im glad I am seeing realistic sales and business and im not in the same boat to know that im not doing anything wrong and my business is going good on track

@samanthavoon5551 5 ай бұрын

@@wanderlustoceans8205 Hey! Just thought i'd do my part and reach out to you. I've been speaking to business owners and the one note that keeps repeating is that they have no clarity on how to get their business to the next breakthrough. And time after time, I've been amazed to see that they've had their answers all along but just didnt knew it was in them. So I would like to give back to our community and would like to give you a 1 hour free coaching session to help you gain clarity and get your breakthrough! It's absolutely free, no catch. Let me know :)

@NikD215 2 ай бұрын

After doing Etsy myself, I honestly think those " I made 6 figures in 60 days" are cap or they live with their parents and have no bills and no job because it's work and there's competition on top of it.

So happy for you! That first $100 is so exciting. Keep going girl! Been doing Etsy for 2 years and I’m just now crossing over into $670+ in revenue! Took awhile , and many see $1,000 + in a matter of months, but I just been teaching myself , trying to stay consistent. Gotta stay in MY lane lol. Pinterest was a game changer!! It will definitely bring sales. Keeping my Etsy ads ON also has been a game changer! I used to turn them on and off.

This is the most realistic POD video I've seen, almost all of them try to state that you'll be making thousands of dollars each day, and then plug a course in or some other utilities they offer. This video is showing honest growth, what it probably looks like for the majority of people who are putting in lots of effort.

Thank you for mentioning the fact that it's ok to not hustle all the time and take a break. I have one sale so far (from family lol) but I've been slowly adding things and am excited to see what growth happens.
