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.

Ok who is this sticker guy lol

@@bettycooper369 My guess is they are talking about Tim Koa. He seems like a really humble guy who has worked really hard to figure things out the best he could and has actually been surprised by his own success. Check out some of his earlier videos if you want to know his backstory.

@@JohnFouke I was just coming here to reply the same thing!! I love that guy!!! So clear and easy going and NO BS!!

Yeah. I like sticker guy too. Humble. Transparent.

That is awesome!

Do you mind me asking what you’re selling? I’m having difficulty with my store and I think I need to switch niches. I’m currently doing POD t shirts and I think I need to get out of it.

You are very welcome. Good luck and thanks for the sub

Great, thanks

Thanks Matthew.

That's so good to hear Paige.

Hi Lisa, happy to help! Good luck!

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. I literally deal with clients who come to me every week with stores that have 500 or more items in and no sales having followed this bad advice. 1 listing a day is the way.

Sounds perfect Harald, I am very interested to hear how you progress, do let us know when you make a sale.

Hi there, great to hear, thanks for sharing. Please keep me posted with your progress!

Hi there CT, thanks for your comment. Have a look, do some research on Etsy and in the market place.

You're welcome.

Hi Star Light, great, good luck with it!

Has this worked for you?

Thanks Kaan, good luck!

Hey Gary, good to have you here. Open a new store for the digital items, and have the other store for POD.

Hi Lucy, thanks for commenting. You can do anything, as long as it works well together with your shop's theme and niche.

Great news Michelle, thanks for letting me know!

Thanks for watching, definitely good for us both! Stay in touch with your Etsy journey progress.

I just shut mine off too!

Thanks for your thoughts and comment, I appreciate it.

Hey Jas! Thanks for letting me know I am doing it right! Yes...I will give you one that, if you take action, will make you plenty of sales (if you have the design ability)...shopify templates.

@@etsyconsultant okay thanks for that! I will look into the shopify templates 🙂

HI Tsipora, you're welcome.

Thanks Andrea and wishing you all the best for your new store.

Hi there Rachael, great to hear. Keep us posted with your progress.

You’re welcome 😊

Cheers Dan. Glad it was helpful!

My pleasure

Good luck Karla, go for it!

You're welcome.

Thanks Maria!

Hi Nicole, thanks for your feeback.

Great news, go for it!

HI there, thanks for your feedback. With regards to your location you have to put where you actually are, and no it doesn't matter.

Hi Jenny and thanks for getting in touch. You are OK to continue listing at 1 a day, that is fine, 2 weeks is not too long.

You're very welcome!

Great news Jonathan, keep us posted!

Great to hear!

Wow, great to hear! and you are very welcome.

Hi Sandra, great to have you here. Yes it's on my to do list!

Hi Scott, thank you for being here, good luck!

Glad it was helpful!

Good to hear.

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.

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.

@@etsyconsultant Nick, please see my comment above. Forgot to tag you before I wrote it. Thx

You're welcome.

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

Glad you like them!

Great, let me know how it progresses.

Hi! I’ve been adding to my new Astrology Collection since January 1. No sales yet, but more views than before. I’m doing them in 5 languages. I think this will help, as I’ve gone global, thanks to your advice. 😊 I list 1 item each morning, and spend my afternoons adding videos and improving photos in my other Collections. Exhausting, but necessary. Thanks again.

Great news

Hey Lori, that's the attitude! Let me know if you have any questions.

Great, keep it up, good luck!

Hi Angela, fantastic - great to hear, go!

Hi Tracy thanks for the feedback I appreciate it! Yes you would want to list individual star sign listings, and they would count towards your listing goal.

Hey, thank you for your lovely comment!

Hi there, you're welcome. Overwhelmingly with 1, with the ability to have sub-niches inside it.

Hi there, thanks for your question, $10,000 refers to turnover. Good luck!

You got this!

How is it going???

Hi there, thanks for your comment, and good luck! Keep going.

👍

No problem at all, keep is informed with your progress.

Hi Dimitris, and thanks for your thoughts. Are you happy with your prices? Do you want to raise them? I would concentrate on growing your store and make a lot more sales, and then review prices if needs be.

Hi Louise, Great go for it!

Hi Amelie, thanks for watching, and your comment. A question that doesn't have a straight forward answer.. Have a look at the videos I have made already, new content will be coming each week. There is also the option to hire me in my banner if you need personsalised advice.

Yes indeed!

Hey Reynossa, thanks for commenting. Personalized products on Etsy are a great idea!

Hi Rocco, great, go for it!

Great!

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 Jon, yes these products need to have personalization from you, if you did not make them.

Great, go for it!

Hi Lisa, thanks for your comment. I'm not sure what you mean exactly but do some research see what you find.

Hi Angela, great news and thanks for the feedback.

Go for it!!

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.
