It's so tough to decide how to start. Advice from one is "stick to one product" and you can have loads of niches. Advice from another who was reviewing someone's site selling one product is "you're designs are all over the place". I need to figure this part out. But you have good advice for starting... which i haven't done yet. I REALLY need to rewatch the mock-up part.

Alek really like your encouraging videos. Please help explain more on the shipping side of this process. What to select for shipping and what about taxes? I am trying not to overthink this like you mentioned about picking shop name and logo but the shipping and taxes part I do worry about. Also how do I know if what I submitted on the product really does fit the product? I need to purchase to verify right? I ask because I am confused about ratios of design to placing on product.

@@yanpa7741 Things are back on track now. Initially, I had 95 listings on Etsy, but encountered some issues when trying to correct one with incorrect images and information. Unfortunately, my attempts to fix it only made things worse, leading me to delete all my listings. However, I've started afresh and now have around 25 listings, and everything is going well again. I learned a lot from this experience, like not realizing that every time I added a listing in Printify, it stayed on the list even after starting over.

Unfortunately, I previously signed up for my store prior to watching, Is this something I can also update using a email address already set up? does it require you to "change your email address" Curious to know if you have the answer before I take the time to dig in! Save time to focus on designing. Thanks again for your generosity in the information and tools you share.

After watching your videos for a while I am nearly ready to get started (- have to do some necessary bureacrazy around here first) but I still have a question. let's say I did everything you talked here, printify connected to etsy: when somebody buys on etsy, do I get the money and a bill from printify or is that also automated - etsy pays printify and I'll get what's left? and what happens if somebody doesn't like my product and wants to send it back? (theoretical question, my products will be amazing... of course - it's just, I don't have the time to spend every day 5 hours with customer service)
