I'm 43 secomds into this video and you have exactly described my life lol. Ive invested over 10k in probably 5 or 6 different business models by now amd failed at them all. I have now started an Etsy shop about 3 weeks ago, literally as my last hope & saving grace because i have like $300 left in my account and no source of income. So definitely hoping for the best here lol so far im around $150 USD in revenue (~70 in profit) so not a great start per se but not the worst. That being said, im LOVING your content. I love how you speak, how you share your knowledge, your honesty, that you arent just making videos to promote affiliare links, youre literally helping. So thanks for that

[@SaidThaher]

I'm so happy today .. i got my first sale exactly one month after i start my shop . The thing is that i run a sale every day .. but today i got busy and forgot to run the sale .. and BOOM i got a sale in full price .. thank you for all your advices

[@moonlightxyz8728]

It's my 4th month on Etsy with over 350 sales, not too grand. I have 297 listings now on my store. My goal is to get 1000 listings up before 2024. In my first month until the third month, I felt it was really hard to put up 2 listings a day because of the product type that I'm selling. The product creation process took so long because I was still learning. Now that I'm getting better at it, I can put up at least 8 listings a day; even though sometimes I feel like throw up lol but gotta work on it for at least a year to see if I can get the result that I want. This video is one of my motivation sources. Thanks!

Alek, I appreciate you going through your journey. Could you dive into your process of creating materials and how they have improved over time? Maybe even do a live walkthrough type thing where you take us through coming up with an idea and putting it through its paces of concept all the way to sale? Since you've seen so much and been through the ups and downs, what are common mistakes that you see people do? Since there is such a emphasis on volume, are there Etsy stores that are very niche and have low volume but high sales? Needless to say, you've peaked my interest and I'm wondering if I or my wife should try this out... thank you for all the time and effort you put into these videos. I look forward to all the information and value you are providing. Much appreciated.

[@janelopez7010]

Great video, so motivating! :) Wow you are so close to 100k! Weren't you just at 30k like last week? Well deserved! Sorry but that Ikerson shop uses a Comfort Colors shirt mockup but sells Bella and Canvas shirts. They price so low and make it look like they're such a good deal compared to others that really sell that shirt. But people who actually sell the Comfort colors shirt have to price higher because it's a much pricier shirt. It's unfair because it's a lie in a move to get market share on Etsy. I started during xmas so got sales right away, but these months in the new year have been so slow. Hoping it does pick up. Output is so important.

[@inezstaley4198]

Thank you very much for all the information you share here!

[@helenmarie01]

I think you're probably right about volume, however I have seen some shops who have 20 listings or less that are getting tons of sales. Maybe it just really depends on do people love your products. So quality matters just as much as quantity. I started my Etsy shop in Aug. 2022 using Printify for t-shirts, sweatshirts, and mugs, but I didn't add a lot of listings (I think only 15, and the listings took me a long time since I was a new and I spent way too long on the mockups trying to make them look super perfect), and I only sold one thing, so I gave up....until I got a plan a couple months ago that I was going to handmake mugs and sell only mugs. I only had 20 listings of handmade mugs, and I focused on designs people could personalize. In one month I made 6 sales and 2 sales on eBay, but handmaking and shipping the mugs is a pain. Sometimes the prints transferred correctly and looked great and other times they did not come out quite right so I would have to re-make them, which ate up any profit I got, so I changed everything back to POD. I'll keep adding more listings and give it time to scale and grow. Thank you for so much valuable information. Btw, I do agree on the idea that if you list more items it does increase the chance that someone will see one of them and really want to buy it. I think by staying consistent and continuing to do quality work anyone could grow their business. I'm really glad I found your channel, I have already learned so much from you. Thank you!

[@JeffRevell]

Just remember folks, each Etsy listing will cost you $.20 each whether you sell anything or not. Be sure to take that into account when you are looking to set up your own shop. Looking at shops that have 7000 listings is great but remember that they spent $1400 just to list those items. And the truth is that there are probably a lot of items that have never been sold once. Etsy is definitely a volume game.

[@alekSheffy]

Very true! It's likely that you at least some of those items will see if you're really trying to make each one better.
