LOL, I'm still up in the air about what to put on the wall.

I am so IMPRESSED by your integrity and transparency. Your channel is a breath of fresh air amidst the ever-growing grab for an audience here on KZread. I love this idea, but I do see this as a very labor-intensive task. I saw that you mentioned preparing another video to talk about the images. What do you think about the layout? Do you recommend Canva and setting up photo grids? The profit is fantastic, but can you scale this? 4-5 orders a day might mean an entire day of prepping artwork. Would you need to upscale all of the photos? I would like to hear your thoughts on managing volume and setting up the base layouts. Thank you again for starting this channel. I have subscribed and watched every video. I am looking forward to the next video regarding image automation.

Thank you so much! I'll be covering everything you've asked about in an upcoming video, which I plan to release either next week or the week after. In it, I'll explain how to automate the entire process. This will significantly increase efficiency and instead of taking hours, everything will only take minutes to complete.

Just luuuv your videos, down to earth and no messing about. Thank you!

George u are so unique in teaching all others stress the niches first...u start with the product ...it's margin then niches can do...brilliant thumbs up❤😊

I think that's where many people run into trouble. They're advised to pick a niche and might choose something broad like 'dogs,' but that's really a theme, not a niche. It's better to start with a specific product type (just one) and then create variations of that product. This approach helps to focus your efforts and better define your niche and audience.

Interesting concept as I have been experimenting with blankets for some time but this is different

Their ability to charge more stems from their simplicity and the added option of including more pictures, all provided in a straightforward solution. Send me an email with your store information, and I can offer some advice - EtsyMentors@gmail.

Next week, I'll be releasing a video on how to automate the Print on Demand (POD) process! Regarding the store you mentioned, it handles physical items, so I use a third-party logistics provider (3PL) to manage that.

Another great video! These are so great for keeping the essentials in mind. It's inspiring seeing the real world results of the techniques you are showing us. It also helps to have a clear, defined margin to shoot for so the listing process is simplified. I write notes down of all your tips but I hope one day you make a video for us with the essentials for successful shops and listings listed out by priority in a checklist form so I can get rid of all these sticky notes on my desk. I still think you need a picture of your chonky boi kitty up there haha.

Great video. Thanks, George. How to create these blankets? Do you recommend Shopify as well?

Printify connects to both Etsy and Shopify.

Thank you for your videos and the time you take doing price research, mockups, profit... I feel stuck with my store, I don't know which direction to take, could you review it and give me your opinion. From so many KZread videos that I have seen now I don't even know which direction to take. Thank you

I have watched all your videos, love the BS free advice. I recently launched my own Etsy shop with 6 listings. However I am not getting views nor visits. In your opinion, how long does it take for them to start getting some traction? Thanks for everything! 🔥

This depends on the product and the keywords used, as well as how someone searches for it.

Good one, but how do they send the photos?

The photos are sent via Etsy messenger. You can send up to 3 photos at a time.

George do u put the product sold in ur companies name. . .Betty's blanket..etc? Or general Betty's studio?

@EtsyMentor

16 күн бұрын

No, I don't think the business name is all that crucial. It shouldn't be completely off the wall, but ultimately, it's more about how you market yourself than the name itself. The brand's success isn't solely defined by its name. A great example of this would be Samsung. Samsung started their business by selling fish, not TVs.

I'll release a video next week demonstrating how to automate this process, so you won't have to handle everything manually.

The net margins your wonting us to try to get to is before taxes if I'm correct. I'm just woundering because I'm getting ready to start selling in a couple weeks and just trying to figure out what to charge. I am not doing pod I am making products and jut trying to get the numbers right so I don't screw me or the customer. This is my first rodeo on line and I don't f@!? It up right off the batt 😅😅😅😅😂😅😅😅😅

Etsy handles all the taxes of the sale, which is great, especially during tax season. They also don’t charge sellers any fees related to taxes on purchases.

We love your channel for your realism but this cover video doesn’t do that

I aimed to be as transparent as possible by comparing two companies and explaining why one isn't profiting as much (net-wise), even though it might look like they are. Do you think there's a different way I should present this information?

Does selling toilet paper make crappy margins?!

@EtsyMentor

16 күн бұрын

Toilet paper usually has a pretty low-profit margin, around 5-10%. Since we all need loads of it, companies still end up making money. Crappy for us, good for them lol.
