Thank you so much in helping me know where to start and not feel so overwhelmed with trying to make and sell items. I’m a dislocated homemaker that has to find a new less physical type of income due to recent physical limitations. I’ve worked very hard all my life in back breaking work and since corporate settings aren’t want they use to be I became desperate to find some kind of work I could do at home for the most part. Learning to run a successful business and knowing the ins and outs you definitely provide all the information and tools to make it possible. I’ve listened to another Etsy video but it wasn’t much help and more discouraging and overwhelming. Loved that you broke it all down step by step and how to make it happen!!! Thanks again Kate!!!

Thank you once again for all of your wonderful videos! I am currently in the process of establishing a relationship with suppliers (two different print on demand companies) and am 9 days away from going live on my first ETSY shop. I am currently beyond overwhelmed, especially in tweaking my designs and photographs, receiving sample products, and shipping times. I have re-watched your videos numerous times and have to say this process would not have gone half as well for me if I hadn't. One larger question I have would be once I go onto ETSY and register, how long is the process for filling out all of my page information, product descriptions, and connections to POD's? I am allowing myself 3 to 4 days for everything on my shop to be uploaded (including all of my listings), is this to short of a time frame? Your are greatly appreciated :)

@KateHayes

Hey Lori! Wow, SO exciting!! Sounds like you’re on a great path for launching your shop! I’d say it depends how many hours you’re planning on working on all of this for those 3-4 days. It can be quite a time consuming process so I’d definitely say set aside full days if you can! Maybe just run through the process for one or two listings to get an idea of how long it will take you? The good thing is that you can make “copies” of similar listings and just tweak to reflect the differences if you have listings with a lot of the same information. So excited for you!! 🤩👏

Hi, which pixel and mb values should I use in my photos, because it is being blurred when I upload it to the listing place :(

If you have an item available in multiple colors, do you recommend making a listing per color or one main listing with the list of variations? I feel like more listings might increase the odds of people seeing your product in the actual color they want...

Hi thanks a lot for all the valuable advice😊I’m just curious, do you have to register for property rights like trademarks, copyright & protected designs on your work before listing?

@KateHayes

Жыл бұрын

You don’t have to- technically anything you create you automatically have intellectual property rights to. However, having official “proof” (registered trademark/copyright) serves you well in the case of a legal issue arising. Most sellers don’t actually register for this but you definitely can if you feel the need to.

I have a question regarding the quantity of products being held in the shop, if you only have one particular item in stock and more then one person likes it and wishes to buy it, what would be the best way to respond?

Have a question about looking what's popular when searching on Etsy. My product is like no other BUT it brings kids shirts and jewelry together so it xould technically be listed but mostly on the jewelry side. I don't want to get into detail about it. Let's just make up a product like a cute pin you can put on your shirt. The pin would be considered jewelry(in my case) but then it attaches to shirts. How do you research this type of thing? It's not kids clothing but connects to it. Do I make sense?
