How To REALLY Make $10000 In Your FIRST Year On Etsy

How To REALLY Make $10000 In Your FIRST Year On Etsy - ALL The Details

Рет қаралды 27,669

Күн бұрын

Once again I go where no one else wants to go - and reveal EXACTLY how to make $10000 in your FIRST year on Etsy!
I've seen a ton of RIDICULOUS KZfaq videos telling you how to make $10k a month, or how people have made $100's of thousands of dollars on Etsy...and frankly...they will do NOTHING to help you..in fact they are simply not reality for most new Etsy sellers.
So, in this video I teach you EXACTLY how to get to $10000 in 12 months on Etsy.
I feel this is REALISTIC for you, totally achievable (with hard work) and is something you can really set as a goal for yourself.
Follow my guide in this video and let me know in the comments if you are actually going to take action and do it!
Also of course ask any questions you have, I am expecting a lot of those!

There are plenty on here who spout about how much they earn by searching and pretty much stealing ideas but calling it inspiration. They interview others who profess to selling thousands but rarely cover the work that it literally takes to design, upload, write product info, mock ups ect. They ALL jump on to selling/promoting the same paid for tool, or courses. I realised a while ago they're just very good sales people. One guy who sells sticker has a good yt. He shares his shop and has solid info. But honest ones are Few and far between. That's why you are a refreshing, upfront bloke with brilliant info. I imagine they hate your honesty. So thanks. ;D

Hi Dame, and thanks for your really interesting comment, I literally could write a book in a reply to you! You are bang on the money in what you say, and I KNOW what they are all up to behind the scenes. Yes, I am already being trashed in other "etsy guru" videos, and honestly I could not care less because I know what I am, and what I do is at the highest level possible. At the same time as being trashed though, they ALL copied my social media video, and now they are copying my "attitude" style as well in their thumbnails, but that's fine, originals create, copies imitate! Yea I know the sticker guy, he's OK, and its good he has transparency, the overwhelming majority of them will not show you anything data wise to back their videos up...and yes they are selling courses and want you on their email list, which in itself is fine, but the problem is they do not know what they are talking about, and that is what I have a problem with. Thanks for your kind words, I really appreciate knowing what you think, it helps me understand how my content, and indeed me, are perceived.

Hi! Me again... and the emotional journey since watching this video yesterday... I already knew that I wanted to learn more about creating digital products for Etsy, and was delighted when Nik spoke about it in this video. Then, having been given the niche suggestion as well, off I went as excited as... (because I'd been struggling with niche-ing down before). So I started exploring the said niche, and then had a panic moment, realising that I know diddly-squat about the subject, in detail at any rate, just in layman's terms. Panic over, off I head to good ol' "Chatty" and after some sorting, I've (it has / we have!) come up with a list of 71 items that I could start creating for potential digital sales (some would also lend themselves to POD at a later date). And some of the suggestions can be turned into multiple variations so in fact, the 71 could turn into so many more products. Thanks, Nik for pointing me in the right direction😃 Now then, off to do some work...

Hi, yes please don't ever do this, the people that say to list 50 or 100 items in a day have no idea what they are talking about.

Hello. I just found your channel and your straightforward, no-click-bait, "contrapreneur" style is a breath of fresh air. I already have an ETSY store dedicated to tarot and astrology with only 21 products although I have not worked on it for a while. It's a digital download plus POD (tee shirts) with the digital items being digital journals, ebooks, etc. I like the idea of adding svgs and pngs to the inventory. Would you suggest building this store out (it's only had a handful of sales in the last year) or opening a new storefront? Again, thank you for your KISS advice.

They just don't float my boat lol. Would you suggest that I stick with something that I can relate too or is it just that for the purpose of proving a 10000 income is sustainable these three niches are where you've had the most success. Keep providing the great content as its brilliant especially when there are so many money grabbing Gurus out there that do talk a load of BS in order for you to buy into there sponsored sites. All the best Sean.

@etsyconsultant 9 ай бұрын

Hi Sean, it all depends on your mindset. If you can work long term on a store you are not passionate about in terms of product and niche, but will sell, then you can do that. However most people need to feel something for the work they are doing, and relate to it, and if you can match that relatedness to a niche that also sells on Etsy, that is the secret! Thanks for your feedback as well, I read every single message and reply to every single message (although it kills me sometimes!) Cheers

You're my favourite Etsy/KZfaq channel!!! Thank you for so much great advice. Question...If I go with the Zodiac idea.... should I put up 1 listing which targets "zodiac" themed keyword(s) and then 12 others almost identical focusing keywords on the individual zodiac sign? And If so...would my 13 listings at that point count towards my 100-200 listings goal? Or because it all has the same design, would it count as just 1 listing towards my 100-200 goal? I hope that makes sense.

I am really glad I found you. I have been formulating strategies for my first Etsy shop. I do work 7 days per week already and wanted to replace that income. I am thinking to slow all this down so that I can build income from the shop in a realistic manor. When you say "make 10,000" are you referring to total sale amounts or profit? I am guessing I would make about 25% profit on average. I am looking to replace my job income, so this is an important distinction. I SO appreciate the realistic estimate - I needed to see this

Hi Nik, great video as usually, you are definitely the best in this field. I am interested in selling Jewellery, do you have any recommendations for where to source Jewellery from? Thanks, Is

@etsyconsultant 5 ай бұрын

Hi there, thanks for your comment. As Etsy is a handmade market place you need to make the jewellery or buy the components to make it pass as handmade. Buying jewellery from a wholesaler and re selling it within Etsy is not allowed.

Hi Nick! I love your content. Please keep it coming. I have read through the questions and your answers. Your answer to someone doing POD clothing/apparel was that it is much harder to succeed in. Would you expound on that? Is it harder because of how much is needed in my store? What makes it harder and how can I be successful in that POD space. Thank you for all that you do.

@etsyconsultant Жыл бұрын

Hi Terry, yes it is because so many sellers are doing it AND so many sellers do not understand the necessity of differentiation to succeed. To succeed you have to be different, and offer something alternative to the masses.

@JohnFouke Жыл бұрын

I’m learning how right you are about differentiation. That’s something the other KZfaqrs address only by saying you need to “niche down”. But even when you go from animals to pets to dogs to Dachshunds, you must have some damn good design skills to offer truly appealing Dachshund shirts. That’s something the gurus never tell you - and I’ve listened to literally hundreds of hours of their videos. For differentiation with POD clothing through Printify or Printful, you can’t stand out with price, you certainly can’t stand out with speed of delivery, you can’t stand out with quality of printing, and you can’t stand out in customer service. You can only be as good as 10,000 other POD stores. So in my thinking, you MUST be as good in all of these areas AND you must be extremely specific in your target customers while offering exceptional designs. This is a high bar to reach for most of us who start POD stores because in my opinion what most of us really want is a winning lottery ticket. Sooner or later we realize this takes very hard work mastering many skills and the financial reward is typically many months down the road. Just how I see things so far. I’m enjoying hearing your take on all that you’re covering. Thank you.

Hi Jason, it depends on whether or not you are doing free shipping or not. The price displayed on the vast majority of your Etsy listings should be between $20 and $50.

Loved this video! About to open a Jewellery store on ETSY, beaded bracelets, and earrings. Inclusive tor 5/9 yr olds, 9 /15 yrs, Women , Men’s , personalised, and gift able. I will also be selling Vintage jewellery..I am 75 yrs of age, and after major health issues, I feel this is my purpose. Have spent the last two years making my products to sell. I am watching this video in AUSTRALIA, winter month of JULY. I plan to present what I have made for the rest of 2024, and go into gold filled, 925 silver, with hopefully PVD coating, starting in JAN. 2025. Nick, I hope this makes some sort of sense. I import all my gemstones & pearls from INDONESIA. I have given thought to some supplies, but don’t want to spread myself too thin. I live alone, am an UBER for my Grandchildren, but have plenty of time to devote to my new venture. I would like to participate in your programme, if it is not too late, as I see this video was made a year ago. I look forward to eventually speaking with you, and who knows what else. Cheers, Chris Jones. in Adelaide South Australia. 💖🌸🙏

I've always been interested in selling jewelry and did it 2 different times with physical products but I wasn't very successful. Going to expand my shop with POD. I'm not sure about the Astrology as digital downloads in April - I could probably do astrological illustrations. I already have Zodiac POD mugs (can also be done as shirts or illustrations) in my shop.

Hi Nick I watched almost all your videos and i am so glad to have the opportunity to get accurate info . There are some gurus who don't give so much info as you. Moreover, i did the ads advice from another KZfaqr and unfortunately, the ads ate my money with zero sales and decreased my conversation rate. To add a pick on my mistake, I did Pinterest ads on my other store. I had multiple clicks and no sales. I know it decreased the conversation rate because before I started Pinterest ads I had sales and after,,,, no no no :( zero and a barely have any views now. I just started to add 1-2 listing a day with better pictures and hopefully will get up soon. Thank you for all your videos. I learned from you much more than I learned since I have esty store.
