Great video❤️ True Videos will get subscribers beyond the borders.. btw Love from Pakistan🇵🇰

Learning a lot from this video. Great content.

Content is amazing !!

i discovered your video recently and loved your realistic video real life experiments and experiences about building the brand.also egarly waiting for your future progress updates for this particular buisness

I just like creating and editing prints.. going to start my store in the summer and I will let you know how I get on.

Subbed for the quality content.

Etsy is no longer the place to sell.

A lot of other content creators discussing these issues and giving similar advice use the term "niche" to describe "segments". Regardless of the terminology it's great to get more perspective on all this.

I really appreciate you sharing your experience on this, and giving people a realistic idea of what challenge getting a business like this actually off the ground and bringing in revenue actually entails. I'm not looking into selling AI art myself, but just knowing how Etsy works and how to strategize on it from experience is really helpful for anyone on the platform. Thanks for sharing some of your thinking process here.

Great video man 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 please keep me updated

Hi can I send you dm on instagram?

For anyone who’s reading this… THINK before you jump into AI….think…it’s not worth it IMO

I have had a lot of success, I’d talk to you about it if you want. Did over 30k in the past couple months.

Thank u for sharing your knowledge in a way I enjoyed watching. You flow and stick to the points needed to know. I look forward to learning and applying my knowledge. Such an exciting time to be alive! Endless Opportunities! 🎉

Ads aren't meant for newbies with no visibility score. Get ranked first then promote ranked listing

Love the crab in a bucket Chris, learn that from my mom ❤

I've been selling AI art on etsy since mid July this year. I made no sales until last week, now I have five! It's all about persistence.

Inspirational!

It’s definitely not a get rich quick scheme. To make actual money selling digital items on Etsy requires a lot of time and effort. I’m about four months in with over 700 dollars in revenue but I’m working on my store every day full time.

I haven't posted the next video yet but if you subscribe you will be the first to know when it launches :-)

Hey men, keep it up you have a great channel unique i must say that is build on honesty and challenges. Post regularly to help the algorithm.

Just subbed.... I think you're going to be big... Like your vids and the way you explain things... very easy to follow and informative. Hoping you'll do an affiliate marketing vid, for dummies, like me.😊

You are fraudulent people

Good

Good ❤

Nice note about the handmade/production partner issue. I'll have to do more research on this!

Very good demonstration! Thanks for sharing this. But 4 weeks it is a very short amount of time you expected to have sales and make money. Most people are saying that after 6 months to 1 year they started making money. And also as a beginner you should upload at least the minimum of 40 Listings... You have a new subscriber to your channel. 👍

I love the concept of this video. The reality is, though, if you want to have a chance of making money on Etsy, you need a lot more than 28 listings. You also need to do product/market research before you create your designs, which it doesn't look like you did. If you really want to give it a fair test, I'd say you need to spend at least a couple hours doing market research and have at least 100 listings. You said you wanted to make sure the price wasn't an issue, but it may have been. If you price things too low, it can actually hurt your sales. People on Etsy aren't looking for the cheapest option. But like I said, I do love the concept of this video and will definitely be checking out more of your stuff. Thanks for being honest!

Nice work man keep it up

Great video! I love that you are debunking myths of stuff that doesn't actually work

Yeah ETSY completely sucks. Terrible platform. Over 4 million sellers added, almost no way to make money

Dont follow the crowd, you gotta stand out in this market to make $$$$

Thank you so much for your honesty Chris

Trying to make money on Etsy with AI art is a painful experience. I saved a few stores, wrote down their sales and checked on them after 20 days. (I don't have EverBee or any subscription like that, so I have to do research the old-fashioned way.) Mostly, I researched seamless pattern stores because these were supposed to be /easy/. 20-DAY RESULTS: Shop 1: Sells patterns in bundles. Obviously AI. Thumbnails are great visually. 54 Sales. Selling bundles for less than $1. Estimation: $16 Shop 2: Single patterns. Faux-embroidery style for most. Obviously AI. 10 Sales. About $6 each. Estimation: $45 Shop 3: Single patterns. Simple style. Possibly not AI. 48 Sales. About $5 each. Estimation: $180 Shop 4: Single patterns. Simple style. Possibly not AI. 48 Sales. (Different Shop Than Above). About $3 each. Estimation: $107 Shop 5: Single patterns. Disney rip-offs. 30 Sales. About $10 each. Estimation: $235 Shop 6: Single patterns. Disney rip-offs. 153 Sales. About $6 each. Estimation: $710 Bonus Shop 7: AI single images and MidJourney prompts. Most Sales were prompt bundles with a count of 150, on average. 35 Sales. About $4 each. Estimation: $105. So we have no idea which of these shops paid for ads. Obviously, ripping off intellectual property is the best way to make money on Etsy which is ridiculous, but it's always been that way. And if any of these people make enough money, they'll likely have to report this as income for taxes (in the U.S.), so the profit is even less. People can say, well, it's going to be passive income, so after doing this for a while, you'll make a good chunk of money without effort. There are things to do that have a higher return. Looking at these shops, even the bare minimum junk AI shops, you can see that dozens or hundreds of hours were invested into creating huge bundles and many pages of listings. How many people will ever see minimum wage paid for each hour invested? I don't think it's worth it for the majority of people. Anyway, I hope my research is somewhat interesting to someone, and to Real Time Money, I hope you can reach 1,000 subscribers soon! Good luck.

great video.

i had 400 listings on redbubble. i got 3 sales in 3 years

ps i also have a digital store that one i do not currently make an income on yet, those take longer to build for income and must be careful on ads but can happen just takes far more time

it can happen, I myself do art prints but i do not do POD, but tooks me 3 months to build to a regular income nothing crazy but can happen if you do the research right on whats being bought etc

I did this from April to June of this year. In my opinion if u didnt get a foot hold in the market before all the gurus on youtube started talking about it, you are too late. I started right as word was starting to spread around. Even though I started in April I had a suspicion I was about 3 or 4 months too late even then. That being said, I do think it will work, but it will take a long time and a lot of money to gain a foothold in the niche/market you are listing products in. I also believe from my experience that you will be operating at a loss for a long time until you get that foothold and start getting organic traffic boosting numbers and profitability. That being said, there is no guarantee that you will ever get that foothold, so it's still a toss up. So, from April to June I spent about $180 advertiseing digital art to make about $100, so a -$80 dollar test/investment. I decided that the time and money I would have to put into it to make it profitable wasn't worth it for me. During those two months I made 55 total sales, had a 5/5 star feedback score, a avg CPC of about $0.28, and a conversion rate of around 5.5% - 6%. He mentions cpc was 0.40 for him, that is crazy high and just shows how saturated it got in the past 4 to 5 months. Idk if this helps anyone but, take what you will from it lol.

All businesses takes time also use social media i have co workers who are waiting for me to start selling art i dont want to do ai i want to put my own work out there.

Good job man I like the realistic things keep going

thank you for the very amazing videos my friend, I really do enjoy watching your vids, Keep it up G

Past two decades????? Did you start when you were 5? 😂 You look like you’re about 22 years old.

This is way over my head, but I am going to look into some of these. Whether or not I could ever start any of these may be too far out of reach, but it is never too late to at least learn more, and it may help me somewhere along the line. Loving your videos. I love that you get to the point and don’t spend hours explaining everything. I know some of the things, you talk about, may take a separate video, to explain, or may take longer to explain, but you get to the point, rather than making a bunch of boring content. Also, your voice is soothing. 😊

I am loving your videos, especially your “debunking” videos and your advice videos. Great channel and your voice is so soothing to listen to. Keep it up, and hopefully you will gain lots more subs. 😊

Thank ypu for being honest

The reasoning about needing $40 in Etsy ads for one sale is flawed. And it also just takes time for your listing to start ranking on Etsy.

don't see the wall paper. assume we have half a billion households in the world that can afford spending money for nice images. Say ten percent happen to have an empty wall to fill, perhaps two, and don't want to hang images of their kids or pets. Makes 100 million images potential. Say 25% check etsy to fill their need. Makes 25 million images to target. Divided by perhaps 5 million wannabe-sellers on etsy. Would result in five sells per seller IF you can beat the "big players". The image you created looks pretty cool. But how many would have this in their bedroom or living room? Would you hang it, especially next to other images that are already in that room? Think, if you hit the taste and the fit of ten percent you're really great. Brings down the sales target to 0.5 items. Per shop... Maybe those "gurus" do make a million bucks on prints. But - they're usually well financed in the beginning - you never know if they just bought 5000 images themselves to make etsy believe they have "really lots of traffic" - I would do so if I had enough money... Just my two cents... But, excellent video, man - guess you're gonna make your money on KZfaq, not with printed mugs
