Nick, I did what you described in this video last year. I uploaded my 100 listings through July-September. I had 5 sales in my store from 2021 up til August 2023. In August Etsy algorithm picked up my store, and this January I have 103 sales. I’m planning to double my sales this year with this very same strategy 😊

I was part of the webinar Nik held 1/20. For anyone wondering if his coaching is legitimate and valuable, I tell you IT IS!! He is authentic, unlike some other YT Etsy gurus. 💯❗️

Etsy should pay you for creating this useful video! Thanks for all the hardwork you put in to educate us 🙌

Nick, this was so valuable. Waiting to open my store after 2 major surgeries. 1 down , 1 to go.I WILL be selling beaded jewellery. Thought I would have opened SEPT 2023, but didn’t want to open and then have to go on vacation mode twice, and lose any algorithm momentum I may have achieved. I am 74 yrs old, and definitely have the time to give, however given the delay in opening, feel I have lost some confidence.Still have the drive and tenacity to succeed. This video was so helpful, walking through step by step., has made me realise I can do this. Plan to watch all your videos again while I am recuperating. Will need a call to you, because I Have mostly one of pieces. Will start to make multiples, where possible with the amount of beads I have. I import from BALI. Thanks for your expertise. Cheers, Chris Jones. 🌺

This the the BIBLE for setting up Etsy Store, thank you so much Nik. This is very valuable information.

Thank you for all these videos!!

Thank you! Amazingly helpful.

Nik thank you from the bottom of my heart for another great video about listing new etsy store.

wonderfully concise, inspiring. thanks !!

Thank you Nick for all the work you did to guide us!

Great video and info, thank you

Thank you!

I love this style of video. This was very helpful.

Amazing video! Thank you.

Thank you. I've clicked on the 'notify' button :-)

This is excellent. Thank you🙏

I’m so glad I found you! You’re so much more real and helpful than the others.

Can't thank you enough, this resonates with me massively. Bests from Sweden

thank you for the info brother

Really good course with a lot of great information, yes please more 😊

I have wanted to start an Etsy store for a LONG time. I sell on KDP, Ive watched all the popular youtubers and even purchased courses. Most youtubers rush through and say to list 10+ designs per day. I am so glad I found you. I feel like I can manage your system. Thanks so much.

Thank you for this video, you are the best!

This has really boosted my confidence thank you!

Definitely what I needed. I’m slowly designing before I open my shop. Thanks Nikk!! As always, good info. Make more videos like this please! I’m a visual learner and love lists too.

Thank you so much. I am planning to open a shop in two months. I have been binge watching your videos. This is the one I need the most at this point. I appreciate your guidance.

Hi Nik, I’ve had calls with you before (that were super helpful) and this is STILL so useful. And a good reminder of the process and effort needed. Thank you!

Thanks for a great video. I am just starting a store on Etsy and your videos are an invaluable guide

wow, your videos are getting better and better! =D

I truly appreciate all the time and effort you have put in to this video explaining everything in detail and clearly stating that it takes effort to succeed. You are the vest at keeping it real. Thank you thank you thank you.

What a great video for anyone looking to sell on Etsy. So much information and you laid it all out in this video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and may you continue to prosper in your business.❤

Thank you Nicholas for such a great informative course. I got into your teachings a little late, but as they say "better late than ever". Hopefully, I be able with your advice to bring sone kind of life to my store.

Nice. And SEO is important to market the Shop.

The very best course for new sellers. Please do more videos like this . Thanks

Wow! I am a first time viewer, seriously wanting to sell my items. This video was exactly what I needed to watch. Thank you so much. Now that I have an outline, I see that I can make it happen. I would love to watch more instructional videos. You just got a new subscriber! I appreciate your time & effort. Very helpful & much needed. 😉👍♥️

Awesome videos, I have been following these for a bit now and just hit 100 listings and have everything setup in ways I would not have otherwise know about. Thanks!

I’ve watched a few of your videos over the last week or so! I love your content! I’d absolutely love to show you my shop I set up in October! I’m really chuffed what I have achieved myself. You content should help me level up for sure. I think I need to do a few tweaks! I’ll book a consultation 😊

This video is great! I'm just about ready to open a new Etsy shop in about two weeks. I've had other shops, but did everything wrong with them. I'm excited to try one the right way - thank you!

Very helpful video. I plan on starting a store with my hand turned items i make on the wood lathe. Your video really helped clear up lots of questions i had. thank you so much.

One of the best videos I have seen. Well thought out and thoroughly explained. Removed many of my uncertainties about how to become an Etsy seller from theory/strategy to nuts and bolts. Nik, many thanks.

I will be selling greeting cards and listening to this video helped in understanding how to list cards with inside sentiments and those without. They will be listed as "variations". Great information. Thank you.

Nick, I've been watching and absorbing all of your videos and I've kicked off my store today, complete with it's lonely little one listing. :D I've got my drafts ready to release one a day for the next week, and I can't wait to see how this plays out! Thank you so much for your extremely valuable content!

The Legend cheers mate

Fantastic!. I feel like I have a teacher! And one that I can trust. No nonsense, just good old fashioned common sense.

I just find you and you're gold! I do portraits of people and pets with graphite pencil. I just have 9 listings right now, but I will try to use all your advices. Watching your channel as it was a netflix series. Thank you!

Fantastic content Nick, so much useful information thank you. Have about 43 listing’s in my T-shirt shop so far and still waiting for my first sale, views and visits seem healthy after 5 weeks. Fingers crossed for 1st sale soon.

The long awaited coursed! excited Nik! is it going to be a longer video format or similar to your usual uploads?

Thanks! I just started my etsy store 2 days ago..

I just started selling on Etsy about 3 days ago. Now I've found your video. I'm excited to see what you have to teach!!

I wish I had watched these video tutorials before opening my Etsy shop! But now at least I have an idea on how I can optimize the setup and how much work to expect... Thanks!

Hi. Im a newbie to your channel and this video had answers to every query I had. So grateful for this video. Just want to check if you informative videos for POD sellers.

Thank you Nik, that was super helpful! I'm definitely in the new Etsy seller realm (one store with just a few (random!) items and a couple of POD sales (mugs 😂)). I'm switching to digital now (and will shelve the currently listed items). The name I have for my store can lend itself to being a digital supplier for business peeps, so I might go that way. Other than that, I have the option of starting again from scratch and choosing the niche you suggested for digital products in one of your other videos. I would start this as a digital store, though some of those products could lend themselves to POD further down the line if they proved to be popular. Decisions, decisions... 😃

Nick I honestly believe that God put you in my life. Thank you for sharing the knowledge and wisdom you've acquired.

Thank you for all your awesome videos, they have helped massively. Do you have one (or planning one) on how to best utilise the Search Analytics feature in etsy?

Thanks Nik! I assume this as a refresher course for me to work on my 2nd store. I opened my 2nd store on May 2023 and been sitting idle until now. I listed around 10 items and deactivated them because I was not confident, now the shop is in vacation mode. To me, the most daunting parts are product/niche validation & SEO as I prefer selling in micro niche, same as my 1st store. My 1st store is doing very well, and still in building phase as it's only a 1-year old store. Working on my 1st store is more enjoyable than building my 2nd store. I can still feel that pain of building 1st store from scratch. January is already about to end, and I need to encourage myself to start listing one item a day in my 2nd store.

I listened to the Etsy Gurus way before I ever found you. My store was soooooo dead following their advice. Finally, I tried some of the stuff you showed in your videos and actually saw progress even though my store was so far gone. Lesson learned. I finally shut down the store and intend to try fresh. I will do it right this time. Give myself one more shot. Your content is appreciated greatly. Thank you!

WOW❤

Hey, I just came across your videos and I love how you keep it simple and break it down at the same time, I have a question already started my Etsy shop based on the 3 listing a day about 2 1/2 weeks ago and already have 50 listings should I just stop listing or just from now forward only do one a day?

You deserve a whole lot more subs and views! Such valuable course and advice every time, thank you! I've been following this and really hope it'll start generate sales after 100 listings. I've lots of time and can run this full time, my question is do you recommend I run 2 stores at the same time? I've started in a niche I'm not 100% convinced yet and have another niche idea that I want to try. Do you think running 2 stores will be a bit much? I can dedicate around 5-6 hrs Mon-Fri to run these.

For your straightforward content, you're my favorite Etsy guru! I am so excited I'm about to pull the trigger and open my shop soon. Do I list only one item opening day as well or start with a certain number of listings on opening day?

I have been watching your videos for past couple of months. I finally opened my Etsy store yesterday and created my first listing. It took all afternoon for me to do it. I plan to follow your advice of listing 1 item a day. I wasn’t sure if I should consult with you now or wait until I have some listings up first.

Love the step by step course! i finally got a chance to watch to the end, and you answered alot of my questions, i need to watch more videos for other questions. I know this is for just opening a shop, but i have a shop been open a little over a year, physical products, and i design things that takes me 3months to finish 1 item. I have 4 listings, i know i should do sub-niches as you mentioned to expand and i plan to do this but i also work full time, how should i go about putting more items in my store with these circumstances?

Hi Nick! A new subscriber here. Thank you for sharing such valuable knowledge with us. I greatly appreciate all your hard work! I look forward to catching up on all your past videos. Question: I have a handmade jewelry shop on Etsy that opened in 2015, got up to about 1000 sales, but had to stop after a few years due to personal reasons and left it on 'vacation mode' for about 4 years. If I want to end the vacation mode and reopen my store (will start from 0 listings), can I treat it like a new store and follow the 100 days plan that you teach us in this video?

Hey Nick, I think your videos are awesome. What would really help me as a new etsy seller is if you did a case study of a successful vs unsuccessful etsy shop, I am particularly interested in print on demand. Thanks!

Found you yesterday, finally a no nonsense etsy channel! Hoping that this is going to be the game changer. I have 35 odd listing but am yet to do the proper seo you have set out. Should i deactivarte all but 1, tag etc properly and reactivate 1 at a time as if i am listing one at a time?

Thank you so much for the info! So happy I found you! I have a question...lots of my products are similar. When listing, can I copy the listing and change what needs to be changed for the next listing, using it as a listing template?

I wanted to revive a fledgling neglected (aka DEAD), store. I recently discovered your channel Nick, and have been following your advice. I upload one POD design per day and after 22 days I got my first organic sale. For efficiency sake I wanted to work ahead but I wasn't sure I could upload my drafts, so I picked up on that tidbit right away. Yay! Nick, do you have a video on how best to use your emails sent to the buyer AFTER the sale? Thanks for such a useful channel, I can't wait to see where my store will be in 100 days!

Thanks for the course. It helped to answer many questions. I have a question: What are your thoughts on the new Gift Mode feature? Thanks You!

Outstanding video! Do you know the increase in sales or conversion when a video is used for each item, that discussed in video?

Thanks for the video. Lots of helpful information. It's helpful to have a concrete strategy. My questions: 1) How do I handle it if I have more than one POD? do I somehow make sure each one has the appropriate item from me in their inventory? I've listened to several differen't people's video--no one has made this clear yet. Maybe you can. 3) Yeah, I'm hearing include a video with each listing. Got it. HOW do you make a video/ What software? Obviously this is a quickie, not a complicated one. thanks for incorporating these questions somewhere.

Thank you, Nick! I'm still new with my handmade leather shop for EDC enthusiasts, and I'm trying to make and list one item per day. I have a hard time finding the right products to list, but I have to believe I'm on the right track. I have one sale to a very supportive friend! I want to know if your strategies change at all for handmade / bespoke products, or if I should keep plowing forward and listing variant styles or combination packages to reach 100 items.

So helpful! I’m working on setting up a POD business and you mentioned creating a slide show for the video. What would you include in the slideshow?

My wife and I want to start with Etsy. We had the idea to start a business together. You were talking about the shop owner profile. Now the question is: Can we just say that we are a Family as First Name? Would that be against Etsy Guideline? Otherwise it is the question what name we would use.... I appreciate your step by step guides! We are excited to see what will happen this year :D

Hi Nick, I found you last week via your podcast and have watched loads of your videos and taken notes - so helpful and to the point. I will be opening a Vintage home decor shop - when you talk about growing your shop sections equally/evenly, do you mean e.g. day 1 I list a vase (vase section), day 2 I list a set of candle holders, day 3 a framed artwork and so on, then once you get to day 7 I'd start the rotation again so I'd list another vase? Thanks in advance 😊

Hey Nik! 🙂 Thank you for the GREAT course! I appreciate it! I have some questions: 1.) Shipping Methods / Shipping Globally - Do you recommend multiple shipping methods? - Is there a program for this? (I thought I read somewhere that ETSY has one) - How is shipping globally estimated? I worry a lot about customers waiting a long time or orders not being received, which could give my store a bad review/rating 😕 - Is it best for me to buy a printer and do it on my own? 2.) Shop Set Up - Can the seller Icon and Ship Icon be the brand logo? If not, what are the differences here for what should be uploaded? - Do you recommend ever having products being discounted at any time? 3.) Niches / Sub-niches - Is it possible for non-evergreen niche stores do well? 4.) Production Partners - Is this a person working with you in a business? Where you may be sourcing materials from? 5.) Grow Sections Equally - I am still confused by this, and I do not know how to ask a question about it. Would you be able to give an example of how this would look? 6.) Draft Folders - Can I upload my item and input all the information in all the sections, so it can be ready ahead of time to post? 7.) Item Prices - Do you have recommendations on how to set the prices for items, so you make the right profit margin? 8.) Trademark / Copyright - I have seen some videos about this and it makes me nervous that I will sell a product that has already been trademarked or something in /on it is copyrighted. What do you recommend to your clients to navigate this piece of the puzzle before designing? 9.) New ETSY Store Expectations - What expectations should I have for the growth rate of sales for my new ETSY store? The process you are teaching us is a gradual one, so I want to make sure I stay realistic with meeting my income goals from ETSY. That was a lot of questions, but any answers or feedback on any of these would be greatly appreciated, whether by you or anyone else on the Nik - Etsy Consultant Team / Community! THANK YOU! 🙂

I really enjoyed this course and I've watched a couple of your other videos as well which I liked. Anytime I watch videos on Etsy stores I always have questions. Mostly questions about the contradictory suggestions and things like SEO. And they seem to make sense on either side but I just get confused on which way to go or which way is better. My shop is only 1 month old and I don't know if I should just keep making changes and improvements as I go or just scrap the whole thing and start over with a new store. I can give the link to my store if you're able to assess and let me know if it's even on the right track.

All of your advice is golden and your SEO video was incredible helpful, im glad to say that i've ticked most of your tips already however i've already listed 100 listings before i've opened. what can i do now they are there? im on holiday mode until my production partner finalises and then im ready to open.

Can you make a video for vintage sellers? Are there any specifics to selling vintage and antiques on Etsy. Thank you

Thank you Nick for the course. I feel no longer a newbie, as I launched 2 stores begin of 2024, listing 21 / 25 items as of today. One per day, as you stress on. However, listening again to your walk-around I picked up a few areas where I still can improve my store / listings : mentioning the production partner for POD, checking the about page, adding materials + attributes to listings. And finally adding the tag VALENTINE to items in my watercolour paintings store. Who knows ? A customer looking for a Valentine gift ? I want to be eligible :) Greetings from France, - Pierre

Very insightful, are generic stores doomed for the get go?

I definitely need an about page. I don’t know what to write on it but I know I need to do it.

Thanks Nick! Love this and your 10-minute-SEO video. Question; I started a store in personal development printables and guides, and had a few (20) sales in one year. Then I pivoted to high-quality watercolor clipart since January 2024 (current total sales: 58, but views remain very low, and currently 38 listings live). Should I just continu creating listings in my current shop or open a new shop?

So glad I found your channel, immediately subscribed! Question, what if you’re an established business with a following but new to Etsy and need to grow sections since your products compliment each other and are often purchased at the same time. (these are personalized, non digital items). Would you list as: day 1/section 1, day 2/section 2, day 3/section 3? Thank you kindly!

Hello Nick! Very big thanks for this video as well as the others, I've been following you for some time and I've learned a lot with you. I've a question if you may help: I'm trying to revive my Etsy store, created a year ago, and I have 21 sales. The question is: Most of my traffic now comes from Etsy promoting my videos - it is bringing me one to three sales a month. Should I let it stay activated or do you believe I should focus only on Etsy Application traffic to my store? Thank you very much!

Hey Nik! 🌸 Is category command important if you’re selling one type? Eg: T-shirts. My research has told me to stick to one product type. Do I bother with category command? Thanks for all your content. You’re a star! 🌟

Watched all your videos since opening my store about 2 weeks ago… following your 100 listings in 100 day plan and already have a sale!😊 Do you have any advice for sales? Is it better to have a discount sale to hopefully get more sales to build momentum or to look more credible? Selling digital items (Favourite Journals)

Hi Nick, question. What do digital supplies consist of? Are they things like notebooks, planners, journals, etc? Enjoy you videos!

This is so helpful! I’ve been designing digital art + repeat patterns with the idea to do all over print clothing. I wanted to aim for kid’s clothing, but when I started uploading my designs on hoodies, they only had adult hoodies. Is this enough of a niche? Or does it need more of a narrowed theme than that? I would love to book a call when I’m deeper into having a shop started.

Hello Nick, I have an Etsy shop opened 2 months ago and no sales, should I open a store, should I continue? Many on youtube are saying to open a new one if is no sales for 2-3 months ? Or should I continue improving my designs? Thank you so much for helping us with this videos!

Thanks Nick, great video. One question - once having 100 listings with at least some consistent sales does Etsy then put more weight on your shop and its listings? Possibly Etsy no longer sees your shop as a startup and more legitimate?

Hi Nick! Thanks for the very useful and helpful videos you have on your channel. I am doing what you're describing in your 100 Listing Etsy Store right now but I am doing it in my store which I have opened in 2015. I have uploaded almost 20 items by now, but I see a very low traffic the past 3 weeks since I started uploading. I wonder if that has to do with the fact that I did't start a new shop right from the ground and I upload on my old store. It would be appreciated if you could shed some light on this. Thanks

I watched your video yesterday about all the things that are wrong with Etsy and it discouraged me greatly from actually starting with Etsy. What advice would you give a newcomer given the drawbacks of what's going on there? I would really appreciate an answer because I love following your videos and you gave me a lot of hope this could be the platform that I would like to use. Full disclosure, I don't make any products. I would be using print on demand.

Thank you Nick! So in other words, when I launch my shop, I should only have 1 item listed and then post daily from there?

Hi Nik, What is the Draft Folder? How it can be activated? Thanks for all your videos & Courses Regards, Igor

Great course! Quick question- how many items should I be listing a day in my situation? I just started my store back up about a month ago - I have 61 sales in total from the last few years and get a sale at least once a week since I started back up. Also a star seller. Can I lift up to 3 a day with my store?

Hi there! Fantastic video! I am wondering if you can tell me what to do about listing more than one item in stock? All of my items are going to be unique and one-of-a-kind. Any ideas?

Thank you for your channel. For the pre-requisite of “Just opened a new store”… I’m just starting to upload new products to a new-ish store… I opened the store in 2022, but then put it into vacation mode for over a year, til I was ready to open it properly, which is now.

Will this store be at a disadvantage? Or is this course relevant for me to follow?

Many Thanks for your advice!

I've had my store for several years now but did not have any of this valuable information you presented in this video. Did not know this information was available on KZfaq. Never showed up until now. I also watched the updated 2024 SEO video. My products are seasonal (cold weather/Winter) and I always did not renew when the products expired until the next season. Also what I have been doing is create a good amount of products, photos graph them and pick a date to sit and upload them all at the same time into the store. Finding out from the video that's not the way to do it. I will put them in draft and upload daily. Do you review and critique a store if asked so improvement s maybe be made if applicable? Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Thanks for the video! Just starting out, how do you feel combining product types of the same design in a single listing? I see it a lot, but I’m afraid it might sell well in a product type that’s not been set as the primary one. However, giving options to the customer when they dig into the listing seems like it would help the conversion rate. I just want to approach it well from the beginning and I'm struggling to decide which way to go. If you do separate them, of the 100 listings, does the same design on different product types count as individual listings toward the 100 listing goal?

Hey Nik, lovely work you are doing, I’m a bit upset because I just see this video, I open my shop 4 days ago and already posted 90 listings. Any advice, I should stop posting? Thank you

Greetings Nick, I want to thank you for your informative tutorials. I have watched several. I am working on putting together my 100 listings. Question: Currently, I have been working on an original idea for a mug before I heard your presentations. Through Printify, I have many options wherein I can display this creation on sweatshirts, and tee shirts. Also on pillows, phone cases, aprons, etc., This would be my very first listing. Should I only include one item at a time from the above group daily to position me with the Etsy algorithm? Or do I upload the entire group with "all" of the above product options mentioned above? Please respond asap. Thanks again.
