10 things holding you back from WINNING on Etsy

[@sheverleyclacken3676]

I’m always put off when I’m told I can make a lot of money and it’s easy. The word easy puts me off because I know anything worth having is far from easy to obtain. It takes consistent hard work not only to achieve it but to hold on to it and keep moving forward. A lot of people selling their courses try to get you to sign up by making you think you can achieve success without much effort and it’s easy. I know they’re lying because life isn’t like that.

[@dylanjahraus]

Exactly!! Success on Etsy is hard work and consistency. To become exceptional you have to be willing to do what others are not willing to do.

I've watched a lot of videos with people trying to help others but you seem to be the smartest and most realistic one I've seen yet. I was a few of those things you talked about but I've adjusted my thinking. I did hurry to put up my first listing because I thought I needed to get something, anything, up but I see I was wrong. I would love to take your training but I'm 67 and on Social Security only so there is nothing left to spend. I don't expect to make sales overnight and I know it's all trial and error which takes time. Thanks for all of your videos.

Thank you for all the tips and motivation, Dylan! Totally agree with the hard hustle and not giving up 🙌🏼 I manage a team at a Fortune 500 company, have 3 kids under 6, a spouse, and am running 2 Etsy shops (1 POD, 1 digital items). It’s overwhelming at times but I can definitely see the potential of all the hard work I’m putting into this. Truly, thank you for the continued inspiration and motivation!

Awesome video! Working on my shop while tuning in

[@dylanjahraus]

Right on!

[@blissessentials524]

I tend to add more colors, I feel like if if I add 2 colors, I'd get messages from people asking for more colors, but I will definitely try less variation, maybe 1 or two colors, how about copy cats out there? I contacted a store owner yesterday bc they used my photo and title, even listing it for a lower price. Thankfully she removed all of the listing she stole from me

[@AwakeningAspirations]

I think of it more as residual income than passive. Passive makes it sound like you’re just making money doing nothing. With any sort of “passive” income you have a lot of up front work. And if you want the amount of income to increase over time you need to keep working.

[@kdec3023]

Oh WOW! I love how you kept it real. These are facts, you have to put in the work. I also love how you always lean towards the positive 💯🙂Thank you for another value packed video, and for your hard work.

[@dylanjahraus]

Thank you so much 🤗

[@dylanjahraus]

I've sold in many categories! We've tested tons of different products. And I do show a bit of my store in some videos (like my day in the life video). We'll be doing a video specifically on my store in the coming months.

[@rhhowden1]

Could you tell me why etsy seller use names for the listing titles? For example "Modern Cards and Gifts Sign Template, Cards and Gifts Table Sign, Cards and Gifts for Wedding Printable Sign in Multiple Sizes - Claire " or "Modern Place Cards Template, Printable Wedding Place Cards, DIY Wedding Place Cards, Wedding Name Cards, Elegant Place Cards - Celine " are there any affect for my listing? Thanks in advance!

Etsy's toast. Its CEO Silverman knows so he's selling his shares.

[@patriciacastaneda845]

random question, where's your top from? I love it!!

[@jjbooker23]

My main concern is them putting your account on reserve for 90 days 😩.

[@krystimaxwell2931]

Mine was just put on reserve and I do not know why😢

[@daviddwyer2094]

Etsy, the global online marketplace used by millions, is facing claims from sellers it has been withholding thousands of pounds from small businesses by imposing reserves on accounts that take 75% of sellers' income for 45 days with no warning. Is this happening in the USA

[@Havoc2003414]

From what I've been reading yes. As far as I know from what I've been researching, it looks like it's for orders with no tracking attached to it. It's a crap situation either way and it is hurting sellers.

[@paulmoldovan9518]

Yes that is true. So i wonder why then so much daily stress with etsy if they are doing something like that.

[@daviddwyer2094]

Thanks just starting out will look into the tracking thanks again

[@krystimaxwell2931]

It’s crazy I buy all my shipping labels through Etsy with tracking and still got put on reserve.

[@paulmoldovan9518]

Not for digital downloads.

[@Ileanapros]

Dylan. You’re the voice of reason! I talk to folks who are also getting started or want to start and their ‘im not willing to do this or that’ stance really makes me feel like maybe I’m doing something wrong by trying so hard? In the end listening to a successful seller like you recenters what is truly important and cements my approach to this. Thank you!

[@dylanjahraus]

Achieving success is hard work-- you're on the right track!

[@inkpage1501]

Thank you for mentioning the myth of passive income! I have a printables shop on Etsy and there is nothing passive about it! I look at every printable journal pack I make as an investment in the future. Etsy isn't passive income, you have to be there, showing up every day!
