Hi Shawna! I currently have a bestseller that’s a sweatshirt and people have been asking for it in different tshirt forms. Should I just add T-shirts to that listing or should I make new separate tshirt listings with the same design? I also have a different bestseller in an adult shirt that people have been asking for in a child version. Do I add those sizes to the original listing or make new child sized shirt listings? I’m still a little confused on how to double down that way. Thanks for another great video! ❤

Hey there! You might target different types of customers who might want custom designs... Like companies who want to have their logo printed or for an employer who wants to have their staff all wear matching shirts with a specific design. And if you have a custom listing like that taking off you might try listing it one or two more times but show maybe a different brand tee like comfort colors or show it on a different color shirt. Might even try a mug or a tote! I hope this gives you some ideas!

Shawna, thank you for another valuable content!! Just curious about the way to listing faster, in your previous video you mentioned about copying existing Etsy listing and edit it for a new listing, as far as i know, doing that will not be changing the SKU# for the new listing., do you copy all the SKU# in printify and paste it in Etsy listing?? wouldn’t that trouble you so much? Correct me if I’m wrong 😊
@shawnalynn2083 19 күн бұрын
Hey there! This WILL copy your Sku into the new listing! So when I do that with Printify I am A/B testing something and I want the Skus in the new listing because it is the same design. I use Printful for group listings and there are no SKUs. Nothing is synced in this case. I sync those as I get orders over in Printful. I hope that makes at least SOME sense!

This might just be me - but I do very little of my research on Etsy. When I was brand new - I was worried the temptation to just copy others to get started was too great -and just changing it a little wasn't enough. Now I'm in my 2nd year and I know what my customers like - so I make more of those. I will occasionally check if there is demand for something on Etsy - but generally I use other sites and research tools outside of Etsy to know whether a shirt is likely to sell or not. When I do the same thing as others - they never sell - the shirts that sell for me - and I have over 1500 listings - are the ones that are completely unique. My husband tried this in his shop - and he's just lost. So I guess everyone has their own journey.

Hey Shawna! I too may have hurt a best seller by changing the main photo. People used to say the item was better than in the pictures so I thought improving them would increase sales. The new picure showcased the item better, but was a bit less impactful. Do you believe this has to do with the picture quality, or would it be something algorythm-related?

Hey there! It is such a bummer... right?!? Both! To the best of my knowledge there is something algorythm related happening when we change our main mock up photo.

Hi, I wanted to ask you whether there is any possibility for an audit of an Etsy Shop or what you would suggest if one wants to go through a fairly new Etsy shop with an expert and get advise on what to change or improve. I opened my shop around 1 month ago and have 48 sales, I am working on it daily, it is a bit niche, but I feel like I am editing everything a lot and trying out different strategies and still not quite sure, what is the right way to go.

Hey there! I don't currently offer audits. I am launching a membership in August and if you want more info on that you can check out the link I left in the description. I think Taylor POD has audits though! Mandy might also!

I'm so sorry! It is crazy how people can just steal your content and upload it as their own! I'm glad I found early so I could get the word out!

Shawna, I am in big need of help to make my shop to work out, I have a child who needs to be taken care a lot at home and I have ended without my full time job, since it is hard to find permanent care for him so I can go out to work . I know there are another experts offering help, but their prices are too high. Please, let me know. Thank you.

HI Shawna, Why when doing research for something as general as CHRISTMAS SHIRT, I'm getting results for top coffee shirts or Halloween bestsellers (which I researched for halloween etc) ? Do you think it's because I'm in Chrome and not opening an incognito window?

Hey there! Great question! I should do a video on this! You might try NOT searching by best seller at this time of year. There are not really any best sellers for the system to pull from yet so it is pulling all kind of off topic things! I like to use Everbee to help me in this case! I can use the product analytics to see which listings have performed the best over time to get my research done. Hope this helps!

Hello, I have a quick question which I Hope you can answer to :) I opened my shop in 2021, sold 2/3 items and got a review then I stopped using Etsy. I started using it again months ago: I changed the title, got better graphic, I consistently work on it but get around 10/12 visits per day, sometimes even less than that. I sold a few things but it's usually 1 item per month. Do you think it could be because my shop was left unused for a long time? I tried everything, I dont get what I am doing wrong anf it's frustrating. Thank you in advance

Hey there! It would help if I knew how many new listings you have up, how long it took you to get them up, and how many listings you are getting up weekly. BUT if that nagging thought is in the back of your mind that you might be fighting an uphill battle with a store that was dormant... than for mindset reasons if for no other it might be best to load them up into a new shop. But for what it is worth I would probably just get the one I have going unless that review you received was bad. Then I would just start again at this point. Hope this helps!

@@shawnalynn2083 Hello Shawna! so far I have 56 active listings but it took quite some time to get them up. I was told I need to add listings weekly and it's what I am trying to do, I just dont get why some of my competitors dont have many listings and thy still sell :D there are very different opinions about dormant Etsy shops, some people suggest to start a new ones and some others say you should try to revive it and this is what I am doing :) I have six reviews (most people dont leave reviews, unfortunately) and they're all very positive with a total rating of 5/5. Thank you for always being so kind and sweet to people, I really appreciate that

Hi Shawna I started my Etsy shop in 2000 I have listed only ten item I got 10 sale total in 4 yrs. I was making more sales in eBay store. So I pretty much closed my Etsy store. I just reopened back yesterday.do I have to list every day ? How it works
@shawnalynn2083 16 күн бұрын
Hey there! First of all... you must have great designs out the gate because I would never have been able to have sold my first 10! I grew my shop by listing weekly... worked on the process every day but actually posted the listings about twice a week. The better you are at the market research the fewer you have to post, but my learning curve was a big one! To maintain my sales now I still list weekly. But I don't have to put out as many. When I don't list for several weeks my sales dip... BIG TIME and it takes me a few months of consistent listing to get everything back on track. Hope this helps!

@@shawnalynn2083 Thank you for replying me back. Thank you for your valuable videos too. I have subscribed your channel. Do you have any video explaining about finding sold items vs active listening? So I can find the item sale through rate
