Don't worry the challenge series will be back soon 😈🙏 I wanna make it great

"You are always just one listing away". I love that and repeat it when I'm feeling discouraged! Thank you for always posting real and positive content! I hope you have a blessed week!

Alek, I stumbled by accident, 2 weeks ago, across one of your videos, and it captured my attention. I set up an account the next day, and started going about creating designs. Today, after 25 designs created, and no advertising spend, I got my first order for $75... though you are strongly against it, as I am finally able to advertise, I put a small amount into it so I could see what is being searched the most, and what is getting the most clicks per view. Perhaps when I have a bit more success, and you'd like a chat, you know where I am. Also documenting my journey with my first video uploaded today :)

Thanks Alek :) Good to have a little dose of motivation. I've got about 300 products in my shop & have yet to make a real sale. I'm just going to keep going 💥

I have watched your videos over the past year or so and it's fantastic, the growth. i set up my store last year then got overwhelmed so going to tackle it again. Thank you for making great videos, really like the step by step videos!

I downloaded your guide! It's awesome! I have many t shirts designed so I plan on setting it up tomorrow. I have been watching your videos and they have been extremely helpful! Thanks so much!!!!

Awesome, thank you!! 🎉

Appreciate your POD insight. Can you also do more deep dive into selling digital products?

I have had my shop open for two years, and I barely had any sales. Surprisingly, a few weeks ago during my birthday, I got two orders, and since then, I have started seeing sales coming in every day. It's not much so far, but it still encourages me. I guess that happened because I made K-pop merch, and that artist is having a world tour right now. I'm worried the sales will die down once the tour ends, so I need to find another niche to help my sales keep going.

Alek, I did some trial run ordering some t-shirts through printify and the shipping estimates were pretty off. I already run an Etsy shop were I make I my own stuff and can't imagine customers being happy with the slower shipping/inaccurate estimates for POD shirts, especially during the holiday season. What do you do when this happens? I even tried paying for expedited shipping and my shirts still took 5-7 days to arrive.

There is something to say about creating many listings, because you'll eventually do the work to become an artist, but if you please everyone, eventually you'll please no one. People come to your shop, because they feel connected to your work and how much connection are you willing to fake to just please a customer? Why do you like a brand? Because of the chemistry and the image they want to create. Everyone can become a client of Nike, but Nike markets to a client they resonate with. Be careful you don't make a golden prison where people might get a burn out, because they want to please a costumer they don't even like.

Hey Alek, when you say in the pdf 9 min quick start, upload the photo above.. what do you mean exactly? I'm referring to the, create a temporary listing.. I'm stuck there and I don't want to get flagged for uploading the wrong type of listing :/

So Etsy is now asking for a $15 one-time fee to open a store? At least, I hope they won't keep closing accounts a day after.

Best way to make money online..rehash the same content on KZfaq with a slightly different title name.

Is selling Premium Branding Mockups a profitable business Model?...

Alek...what am i doing wrong??? My shop has only made 25 sales in 2 yrs and I list daily...about 700 active listings...i am spending so much money monthly ( am from South Africa...and the $/ Rand exchange 20-1...so spend hundreds of rands for listings, canva, placeit etc...with nothing coming in. I am desperate....I need to succeed, but feel invisible. Do not have any funds for courses etc. I follow you religiously... thank you. Christa ForeverYoungDesignSA

wdym extra?

I’m pretty sure I’ve watched all of your videos and at least 10 of your videos 10 times already. You are a big advocate for not using ads. But recently I ran into another successful Etsy Seller and he was a big advocate for using ads to boost, clicks and rankto get sales. Can you speak on this briefly?

Sir can you do a video about mockups like where to get mockups that are very good high quality like websites to get free mockups for print on demand

Hey Aleks!, I’m just wondering how do you upload Figma designs to your shirts in printify

How can I drive traffic!??

Hey Alek your content is so valuable and amazing but your thumbnails could be better cuz thumbnails play vital role to increase CTR and to grow channel, so I would like to make thumbnail for you , and looking forward to working with you . So let me know your response.

Etsy is not eligible for seller account in my country I there any alternative which has the potential to make us 10000$ per month ? If yes then make a tutorial on it or just Inform us about alternative

Hey Alek , really nice video ! I was wondering if I could help you with more Quality Editing in your videos and also make a highly engaging Thumbnail and also help you with the overall youtube strategy and growth ! Pls let me know what do you think ?

Alek I need help. I was inspired by your videos almost three months ago and have been posting mug listings on and off to the point that I have 140 listings all of different mug designs, they are good designs that I bought from a digital creator on etsy, and i still haven't made my first sale, I dont know what I am doing wrong, and it sucks, I thought that all of my effort would have atleast have given me one sale by now, and I know the first sale is the hardest but I have run etsy ads and continued to post but still havent made a single sale, I am stumped and I need help.

I honestly still thought etsy wouldn't allow ds lol

Bro just tell me this. If you are making multiple millions out of this skill then why it was necessary for you to open up an youtube channel? Don't you think sharing all this information and tactics will make the market harder for you as a bunch more people will enter? Yeah, the way you speak is great and you might also be right. But as a business person there is no need for you to do this, only if you want to maximise proifit with the youtube channel and the online course. But then again, why would you do that, why would you put so much time in making these videos, as long as you were already making millions? Couldn't this be detrimental to your shops?

First

Hello, Alek! Thank you for your work! You know how to inspire and motivate. I'm trying to create designs based on your lessons, but since I don't have any design skills, it's still hard) for example, I can't make each letter a different color, as it's popular on Etsy. maybe you can help me how to do it? Thank You!

How do they make any money, I see selling t-shirts for $7.99 plus shipping
