I’m at almost $1.6 million on Etsy but it’s taken me 10 years, not 3!! It’s pretty incredible that she’s grown that much in such a short period of time!!

Did I say something wrong? My response has been deleted. I’m new here on this channel. Was I not allowed to mention my shop name?

I am new to owning an Etsy store. I got my first sale 15 days in and it was a sale of 30 of one item! That was awesome! Now I am waiting to get my next sale. I have almost been open for one month so far.

That's an awesome start and sounds so similar to Shawna's story! Keep up the good work and who knows where YOU will be in 3.5 years

What a loser I am. When Shawna came on I started to cry LOL.. You were both my favorites. Such an inspiration and got me to where I am today❤

I’ve been following Her since November of 2023!!! She’s so inspirational

I discovered Shawna not long after I found your channel. LOVE this episode and interview. You are both so inspiring!

This is great advice, I just realize that I’m hopping around between different niches rather than focusing on a few and listing consistently, thanks so much

Aww I love Shawna! Always so inspired by your interviews with her! Congrats on the 1.5M achievement! 💪

Hi, ladies! I’ve been following Shawna’s way of picking a niche, gathering all the best tags etc and doing all the research and the design. Then just scaling out from there as much as I can and combine with other niches as I go. Very efficient way imo, but I don’t have 100 sales in six months nor 1000 designs, but videos like this make me want to just keep going. Thank you xx

When you say 500 listings = you mean, 500 christmas theme listings?? Thank you so much for all the insights! I love watching you both!

That is how I took it, 500 Christmas listings, but that is after doing the research and sticking to one or a few niches.

Wondering the same thing. Christmas themed?

Love Shawna!! What an inspiration and love that she gives everyone else their flowers/credit. Such a humble spirit... ❤

Thanks ladies, hearing the listing numbers you guys aimed for eg 500 Christmas listings is inspiring, gives me some concrete goal posts instead of just having a flaky idea of what I need to put in. Also just remembering that it is more of a long game to keep the overwhelm at bay!

Biggest takeaway is you have to payoff the ignorance debt! Do more = learn more = become profitable. Business succeeds with the compounding effect. The only time this doesn’t apply is when you don’t have time. In that case, you pay someone to teach you or to do it for you. Awesome content! Thank you.

I adore and appreciate both of you ladies immensely. I have 150 listing and made 5 sales. It doesn't sound like a lot, but it's encouraging to keep going. I learned everything from both of you. Thank you!

Congratulations!! :) Five will turn into ten, which will turn into one hundred. Keep going.

Wow fabulous to see you both!!! Oh Shawna you make it sound so easy...you both have heard about me so many times....and here I am 2 yrs later and still only 25 orders...so wish!!! Thank you both dear ones...keep encouraging us...pleeeeez...

Thank you for such an insightful and realistic video. I love how we can see that Shawna speaks with so much honesty and is so genuine in her words of encouragement while still being realistic. I resonated with so much of what she said and it really hit me hard on the topic of being someone who takes no for an answer and stays consistent because one believes it is POSSIBLE to achieve that which one is striving for. Loved this interview ❤. Thank you Cassidy

What a fantastic interview, and so inspiring! Cassiy asked the perfect questions, thanks to you both!

Two of my favorite ladies on KZread! Thank you for this very positive and encouraging video!

some of my favorite POD ladies!! SO inspirational, both of you!! Thank you!! :)

So inspirational! I love hearing Shawna. Thank you Cassiy!

I love following these 2 ladies and theybare so transparent and positive. You both have a practical and effective way of following a method to things and that sounds easy but its not! I love the extra courage lines from Shawna, motivational!

Thank you ladies for this video!!! An amazing journey :)

You two are pure inspiration, congratulations on your success, and continue here to give us your knowledge. I loved this video, it gave me extra strength to keep going.

Such an encouraging video. Actually gave me goosebumps. Y’all are doing wonderful! Thank you for being real encouraging women. You two are inspiring leaders for us Etsy sellers.

I love both of you guys I watch the both of you and finally got my store open..Yes Shawna it is hard but I love every minute of it..I have no experience with pod but I will not give up..Thank you to both of you.Your channels are so informative and I appreciate you both sharing and being an asset to this platform.Shy…❤😊

So so so so inspiring! As a teacher myself who needs more income, thank you both for this awesome video❣️❣️❣️

This was a great interview. I have been following both of you for the past two years. I actually realized a couple of mistakes that I have made through Shawna's interview. Thank you so much.

Thanks Girls wow so good, and quiet emotional , on my journey now, and thanks for being positive and truthful and inspiring, appreciate your time.

Thank you Cass and Shawna! I have been watching you guys since 2022 and what you guys share is really valuable! I can really relate to this video and feeling overwhelmed at times working 16+ hours a day. I can often get overwhelmed by trying to be everything for everyone and then I start to spiral out and end up not actually listing items....lol. I really need to create a schedule from MR-Designing-Listing-AD management-SM....Can you guys do a day in the life of...or how you schedule out your days..I am a little over 200 sales after almost 2 years. I am realizing that my designs are too busy and that I need to spend more time on Etsy and learning what the design aesthetic is. Love learning from you guys!!!

Thank you ladies for taking the time to teach us more. As a beginner on Etsy and with the biggest challenge I've had, which is the language, (I think I've passed the test 🤣). And you give me the guidelines and energy to continue on this path that I chose for my retirement. I am looking for a good mentor to help me succeed in this challenge that is not at all easy. Thank you a thousand times for this great video

I love this. Thank you Shawna!

Great interview! Ty

MY FAVORITE POD COACH and MY FAVORITE POD TEACHER 🎉😊 ❤️

First I love both of you alls openness, transparency and knowledge. I started my store in August chasing the Back to School niche but obviously very late. My question for you all is, I understand the power of a general store, however, how do you not end up with a niche store once you double down on what works in a given niche?

Love both you ladies and follow you separately. I do feel though that it isn't always just down to time put in, research.. its the financial cost also - keeping up with decent mocks, size charts, ads as well as normal fees.

Great advice Shawna!

Hi Cassiy! Thank you so much for such informative content! I learn a lot from you. Just had a question. So when you say 500 Christmas listings, you mean the listings should just be focused on Christmas theme? Or does it mean to have at least about 500 listings in niches that are in demand and not necessarily has Christmas theme or colors? (Excuse my screen name, at some point my son logged into my account and all my content is under here now lol). Thank you, Nonika.

Thank you❤

I would love to see more information about the best practices for hiring someone to help!

Great video! As a new seller, do I need to purchase both kittl and canva? And also creative fabrica?

Such inspiration! I'm deterrmined to be where she is. Quick question - can you give some direction on 500 Christmas listings? Is it just finding a few niches and completely swamp them with Christmas designs? I thought we should focus more on evergreen. Can you help, Cassiy? Thank you!

I have thought of doing print on demand however, I'm going to go with what I know I can do atm...

thank you so much Cassily for these valuable videos i appreciate you so much and I wanna ask you a question I want to get started on Etsy selling t-shirts and hoddies Do I need to have money on PayPal to fulfill the orders cause i heard that etsy hold the money and i get to pay the printing company

eso es correcto. hay que tener fondos para cubrir los pedidos ya que etsy no te paga de inmediato. por lo menos no a los nuevos vendedores.

I hope that one day I will be able to make progress

Hi Cassiy - Thank you so much for all of your great content. I'm new to this world of POD. I watched your video on how to upload mock ups to Printify and for some reason when I upload a mock up it has a weird overlay of Pritify's mockups with mine and I've tried everything I can think of but nothing is fixing the problem. I'm wondering if you might be able to help me?

@CassiyJohnson

You actually will upload your mockups to Etsy after publishing the Printify product to Etsy! So the mockups never go on Printify's website!

Is it aloud to use Canva to make designs for shirts to sell on Etsy?

Yes, it is fine!

I am not near a 100 products having in my shop :( Now I am at 45 products..I am crying :((((

I'm 13 months in and still only making like 1.5 sales per day on average 😢

Do you have a video on how you made $20,000 from someone else's Instagram post?

Good luck, as a new store owner you'll be shut down in a few days regardless you are doing everything to the letter. It escapes me why would anyone put all of their hard work and marketing effort into a corporation like this such as Etsy.
