Brandon, this is such a cool video! Thank you for sharing stats for shops with negative revenue and why are you keeping them, that was super-super meaningful.

This was super helpful and thanks for being so real! ❤

Thank you so much for sharing. Although I have been at Etsy over 10 years selling a physical product since the pandemic i have learned adobe illustrator and am now ready to open a digital shop. Your videos have been extremely informative and simply love your tone of voice and pleasant expressions. I do view them many times until I get what you are saying since this is a whole new world for me🌺

Great Video! I never thought about the affiliate links for Printful, I will definitely implement that in my digital shop!

I really appreciate these videos. Thank you ❤️

Wow! I am so amazed at how successful you are in running your 5 Etsy shops. Thank you for sharing your strategies with us..🙌🏼

Hi Timothy! Cheers from Romania! I am following you since a year ago since I saw your shop too. I must say I'm sorry didn't watched more than 3-4 videos of yours but starting today, among the ladies here on youtube that offer advice for Etsy, I can feel and see you are and sound credible and not trying to impress rather than present facts as they are. Stay the same pls!! I also opened 1-2 shops ( with my own original creations) and can't wait for the third one. In fact I was afraid 5 would be the number but was afraid this would be a bit too much hehe. Thanks for sharing !!! You are a true inspiration!! 😊👏🙏

Thanks Brandon! All of your videos are soo helpful!

Thank you, Brandon. I have learned lots from you this week. I enjoy your videos, how straight forward and informative you are, and transparent! You do a great job of explaining things. Keep it up! I, for one, am the better for it. Hope to open Etsy shop this week.....digital products (wall art) to start.

Thanks for being so transparent. From the aspect of quality alone, what pod service do you recommend?

Thank you for sharing this! Your videos are so transparent and encouraging! Is there a reason or method for why you separate each of the shops instead of combining the digital ones? I have a digital Etsy shop selling planner pages and Canva invitations. I know they’re two different categories but I struggle to separate them because it took so long to establish that first shop. Any method to why/how you start from fresh on your shops?

Thanks so much for this video! I appreciate your transparency and advice!

Hey Brandon, thanks for video, especially the transparency. Could you do a video on how to prices accordingly based on fees. I feel I always have a few to pay, even when I haven't had a sale.....awkward

Hi Brandon. Thanks for sharing your journey. I came across with a question. I got your point that you've presented in this video 3 revenue streams, namely, digital products, physical products and print on demand. My question is, why did you create 3 different shops? Can't you have just 1 shop, and, create the revenue streams inside that shop? Because, you already got an audience created from you first shop.

Great video! Do you do the fulfillment for you physical products?

Hi Brandon, many thanks for this great video. Can I ask you what option do you select in Creative Fabrica: Commercial use or Extended Commercial use? Thank you!

Hi, Brandon. Great video, I wanna ask you: do you open all your shops from the same browser?

You have built an empire!!!!!

Great video Brandon! Super informative as always! I have a quick question that I cannot seem to find an answer to. My partner and I have a digital art shop that folks can simply download our artwork. We are looking into expanding and offering POD prints. Our issue is that you cannot have POD (integration) and digital downloads in the same listing. We are looking at starting a second shop, that offers the same artwork but printed via our POD partner (Gelato). We have gotten advice from people that 1. Opening a second shop with the same products but POD instead of digital download is fine and no problem with ETSY. 2. Opening a second shop with the same products but POD instead of digital download is a serious issue with ETSY and will result in the shop being shut down. Any chance you know if this is allowed? Any clarification is greatly appreciated. Thanks for considering to respond. Looking forward to your future videos.

Hi Brandon. If i may ask..on physical products are you using drop-ship companies? Ty

Hi brandon. I see you spend a lot on adds. So my question is do you make a clean profit from this stores? How much profit do you think 1 store can make? I mean a profit that you can cash on

Can you set up a shop for people to get going ? Is that something you offer to be paid for for those who don’t know what they are doing? Thanks

Hi, Brandon! Glad to find out you are doing canva templatess. Quick question. Do you really have to have a pro account in order to sell canva template? I tried to make a sample template and was able to generate the link template that can be shared to a customer using a free account. Can you clarify this please? I want to start selling templates but not sure if I can using a free account. Thank you as always!

Yes you can share with the free account, but whenever a customer edits the template, it will also change your original file, which is no good. Hope that helps!

Hello Brandon. I see that you have over 349k views on one of your shop. Does that number just come from Etsy Ads and an excellent SEO?

I’m new to Etsy, no sales yet. I’ve read where you should get friends and family to make purchases, and get reviews to get the ball rolling. Is this necessary?

Do you have a separate etsy account for each way?

I think the most important thing with a new Etsy shop is to get the most positive feedback as you can that's my strategy I'm getting only $2 profit with free shipping for physical items but I will raise the prices and charge for shipping after I built a strong store with a lot of feedbacks I'm not a fan of Etsy ads is quite a waste of money I already try it it's not worth it
