I am starting a brand new shop on Etsy and documenting the journey! I am sharing as much of the process as I can while still protecting the identity of the shop for the best results in this process. My original Etsy Print on Demand business has sold over $250,000 in the last 18 months and the goal with this shop is to show the repeatable process in how it can be done time and time again.

I loved that analogy about being a mile wide and an inch deep. I totally get it, I'm feeling very overwhelmed trying to add multiple products to my shop, that is making it very difficult to make progress. After hearing what you said, I'm going to start focusing on a single product. I think that's going to work much better for me, thank you for all your tips 😊

Currently in the frozen stage where I have so many ideas, plans and goals. But also it’s getting in the way to make more progress and stay focused.

@TaylorPOD Күн бұрын

Totally can relate. That’s how my brain is always! It can be so frustrating. What really helped me was actually doing less research - I found that when I kept doing more research my list of ideas got to be so big it was overwhelming. So instead, what I started doing, I would research enough for 1 solid idea and then execute that fully before going back for the next idea. Hope this makes sense and hope it may help you!

Same. It’s so overwhelming at times.

I'm glad you are sharing your journey, can't wait to see how it goes. I started in the fall last year, and reached 100 sales in May but June was extremely slow barely much sales. I have been staying motivated and continuing to research and list, not allowing it to deter me. I have also looked at my stats and I have gotten a lot of abandoned carts😩 if those abandoned carts had converted I would have been around 300 sales by now😩. It is a little frustrating because I don't know what I'm doing wrong if it's the shipping cost or something else.

Congratulations on you new shop ! Question did you opened your shop under the original shop ?

@TaylorPOD 5 күн бұрын

Thank you! Each shop is a completely new account. You can't have multiple shops under one account.

Have a question do you know why I’ve been getting like 70% of my daily visits are from direct traffic are they bots they are lowing my conversion rate if you know can you tell me how to fix it thanks

@TaylorPOD 5 күн бұрын

You should be able to click into the direct traffic and see where it is coming from specifically.

Would you consider t shirts (bella canvas 3001 and CC 1717), and sweatshirts (Gildan 64000) one product type. And would it affect a product specific store if we added in tote bags as well as say a mug or drinking cup? I am wondering because an email list of buyers may want any one or all of these products, I would think. In jewelry, they offer rings, necklaces, bracelets, anklets, but they do cater to a specific niche with these products and the store can send an email campaign out to all of their customers. I sold jewelry before this new venture of POD, so that is why I am wondering.

@TaylorPOD 5 күн бұрын

Yes! I consider "apparel" a product type - if that makes sense! For example, my first shop sells apparel and I have tons of different apparel items in it while still being 'product specific' :) It doesn't hurt a store to add additional product types - my "method behind my madness" of having a specific strategy in the beginning (product specific or niche specific) is to gain clarity faster on what is and isn't working for you. When you are laser focused, you are able to gain data and insight much faster than being all over the place. Starting product specific and then finding areas of success is the best way to then expand into new product types. For example, on your apparel items maybe you are seeing success with 'Mom' related designs. Taking those winning designs to new product types could be a great way to scale. It's tricky in the beginning if you are making tons of designs and listing them sporadically on tons of different product types without a focus. The key is being strategic and having a method in place to collect data and make data driven decisions to scale. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk 😅🤣

What about mock-ups? Are you using print provider mock-ups or buying others? I m afraid to start POD because of that because Etsy wants us to use only print providers mock-ups and a lot of suspensions happening because of using not POD mickups

@TaylorPOD Күн бұрын

I purchase mockups directly on Etsy mostly and have used PlaceIt for some as well. There is a lot of unclear information regarding mockups unfortunately. I focus on making sure the mockups I use accurately reflect the product my customers receive and I have had no issues personally.

When you say the average take home product is 30%, is that before or after Etsy Ads? Thanks!

@TaylorPOD 5 күн бұрын

30% has been the average for me after Etsy Ads. When Etsy ads are utilized properly and with a strategy they should not hinder overall profitability.

@Bekind95 5 күн бұрын

@stacyosborn4537 5 күн бұрын

Also, is the 30% profit margin including all Etsy fees and before our personal taxes?if not, what is the avg % profit margin then? 20%?

@TaylorPOD 5 күн бұрын

My business has run about a 30% margin overall, that is including Etsy fees. Personal taxes are going to vary greatly depending on an individual person as there are many factors that go into that. I have a tax video here for more info! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m99jgLOVrcqtlZc.htmlsi=I2FsHp2JWo-K8awx
