I read that quote & farmhouse signs (my home is all the farmhouse trend) is no more for 2025? Also, people need to realize the $ that is showing is gross, not net. Huge difference once all the Etsy fees are taken out, any POD costs, taxes, monthly subscriptions (everbee, Canva, printify etc etc).

I love the 1000-2000 listings breakdown and if 200 sell consistently you could be looking at $20,000 month in revenue. That was really encouraging

Is print on demand like those artsy calendar sheets ?
@howtosellyourstuff
@howtosellyourstuff Күн бұрын
Print on Demand is where you create designs to put on products like shirts, mugs, blankets etc and then use a third party company like Printify to print, pack and ship the item to your customer. :) I recently did a video like this for that niche as well!

@ Thank you (I’m old) Is the printable calendar sheet niche even worth it ? I buy them all the time but the price range is from about .99 cents to $3 and change. Guess you’d have to sell a ton of them no ?

Do you have a video on how to use purchased mock ups? I can’t figure out how to place item on shirt, transfer it over to printify. Thanks!
@howtosellyourstuff
@howtosellyourstuff 2 күн бұрын
No I don't! If it helps-- this is two separate steps. You save your original design from Canva and you import that into Printify and place it on the shirt where they should print it. Then separately, you upload your mockups to canva and upload your design to Canva. From a new 2000x2000 canvas, you apply your mockup, then you apply your design on top of the mockup where it will be printed.

Where to find t-shirts/ sweatshirts in bulk that are nice quality?
@howtosellyourstuff
@howtosellyourstuff 2 күн бұрын
I recommend Comfort Colors 1717 tshirts-- very high quality! For sweatshirts, the Gildan crewneck 18000 is my fave! You can get both through Printify which is my favorite POD provider: Printify: try.printify.com/g4zrs2pimjug If you use the code LIZZIESMILEY, you can get 30 days of Printify Premium and save money on your orders

Newbie here- what if you have an adorable design and saying that’s not necessarily a hot item right now (can’t find it at all on Etsy)? Won’t everyone steal the idea? Any way to avoid this? 😂
@howtosellyourstuff
@howtosellyourstuff 2 күн бұрын
If you want to leverage the Etsy marketplace, you definitely want to design for current trends or soon coming trends. Otherwise it's unlikely your listing will be seen since the majority of Etsy customers find items using the search bar. :) For any design you're concerned about, you can always go through the trademark process. It is costly, though!

That's definitely better than guessing-- the only thing is it's not specific to what people are searching on Etsy itself. :) I use Everbee for all my SEO research because it shows the number of people searching a particular word or phrase on the Etsy platform AND how many listings are competing for the word or phrase.

Love your podcast! Would love to know more about the biblical side of the Law of Attraction. Do you recommend any books or resources?
@howtosellyourstuff
@howtosellyourstuff 6 күн бұрын
Thank you SO MUCH!!! :) :) Law of Attraction and Manifesting are ultra controversial in the church. I can't think of a book off the top of my head-- however there is an old Christian book called "The Healing Light" amzn.to/4jb8MYR that taught me SO much!! I do think there are aspects of LOA that contradict the Word of God and we need to take the truth and spit out the deception. But I also think the church dismisses enormous truths in the Word of God just because they haven't learning how to walk in it yet and they aren't common place as they were in the time of Jesus and the book of Acts. Some of my favorite verses on this are: "As a man thinks in his heart, so is he" -Prov 23:7 "Ask and you shall receive" -Matthew 7:7-8 and Luke 11:9-13 "It's your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom" -Luke 12:32 "The kingdom of God is within you" -Luke 17:21 ""For truly I tell you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you". -Matt 17:20-21 "And these signs will follow those who [a]believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; 18 they[b] will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.” -Mark 16:17-18 "As you go, proclaim this message: ‘The kingdom of heaven has come near.’ 8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy,[a] drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give." -Matt 10:7-8

Thank you for being You! I absolutely love your content. Such an inspiration 🙏🏻♥️ I've had an Etsy shop for a year that has had only about 150 sales and I'm on the fence about taking a course because so many people say you can get all the same content on KZbin for free, but clearly 150 sales later... I feel like you did a video recently where you suggested or endorsed certain courses. Do you know which video that was so I can find the right one?

Yes! It was this episode: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3jcgYJjga2Uepo I think you *can* learn most everything on youtube. But you have to have massive amounts of time to sift through the info, figure out what works for you and what doesn't, and put all the pieces together. I'm super short on time so I buy courses regularly to help me learn quickly and efficiently from people I really resonate with. But I think it's totally fine if you don't! :) :)

I appreciate your video.... and really all your videos, but this one was very timely. This morning I woke up thinking I'll have to prepare for one year before I can open my own etsy shop. And it was because I make wreaths...so I really need to find ways to reduce the cost...anyway, thank you for your encouragement. I think if I understand etsy better I can do this...and I will still need to figure out ways to reduce my costs for my customers...I sold wreaths years ago as a business but stopped and now I'm thinking of doing it again but using etsy (I've tried starting on shopify and at that time I was also starting to homeschool my daughter and finish grad school... let's just say I had no time for marketing). This is a long comment just to say thanks.... but you really don't know how much I appreciate it.
