[@rudenutt]

Quick question, how do returns work with the tshirts etc with printify/Etsy, if someone doesn't want it anymore?

[@julianwillems2295]

@alekSheffy Why does the website Etsy itself have very bad reviews with people saying things like: when I created a Etsy account in a few hours there was $200 of my bank account. And people say it is a scam or have had very bad experience with selling/ buying thinks on Etsy/

[@ebayseller6040]

@@rudenutt no return policy on etsy. sometimes once in a blue moon you take the L and refund any REALLY unhappy customer that might go open cases or whatever lol

By far the single most informative person on youtube on how to start a side hustle on Etsy!

[@MilenaKoncar]

Great vid! I just subscribed! Yes! I would love detailed videos on each! Definitely!!

[@alekSheffy]

Thanks for subbing!

[@frozenpaintballer1]

Maybe others can answer this for me. Alek I am making my way through your videos. Thank you for making them. I love you admitted that you "Made every excuse possible not to work on your Etsy store" for the first few weeks after the 26 listings. Makes you totally relatable. My question is: How automated is having an Etsy store once it is created and you start making listings? I know the more work you put into it, directly correlates to how successful you will be, but when a client orders a print on demand item linked to Printify, assuming that there is no client issues, what tasks do you need to performs as the store owner? Like I said I have been making my way through your videos and maybe this is mentioned somewhere but I want to try and do as you suggested, where I keep my current job but start a store as a side hustle to increase my annual income. Im a dad with 2 young kids and a full time job and I'm trying to decide if the amount of time necessary to just keep the store running without hug improvements to it is doable. Maybe a breakdown of how much time it takes to minimally manage the store would let me know. Or a breakdown of what tasks take a certain amount of time out of the complete time of managing the store. Feel free other store owners to give you feedback as well. Thanks again.

[@alekSheffy]

Much appreciated!

[@ramondgloory3027]

Always good to see your content, I hope you keep up great work in future as well 😀Regarding this topic, in my opinion the easiest way to make money now is through dropshipping. I've been doing it for a year now and have learned that the biggest difference between average and successful dropshippers is having product(s) with true value to your customers (the catch is that I am using a bit of winnerzila. They update their product list weekly, which makes it easier to stay in touch with market trends and find winning products).

[@AquaBloomStudio]

Agree with what Alek said. Crafty niche is a huge market. I like shop 1 idea. I like the sticker shop idea as well. I found a shop who does text only sticker and they make over 20k sales!! Damn they just use commercial font too. That’s so lucrative they don’t need tech or art skill doing text only digital download store.

[@DebtBusters2024]

Great video, Im going to start sending people your way that are clearing up debt and need to now make more money to get by. Keep it up. Love what you do!!!

[@deborahmw777]

Alek , I have been trying to learn mid journey, when i try using one of the pictures for printify, it always says low resolution. Mid journey for me, so far has been slow going in learning everything!

[@carriemason3728]

Hi Alek! Thank you so much for such helpful and clear videos. I would like to know how you handle customer service. Is it super time-consuming and frustrating, or is it easy to handle? I have heard it's very time-consuming. Do you have a video about that, or can you make one? Thanks!

[@paradise6047]

your videos are helpful but can you make a video which shows us the policies which we have to consider when signing up for etsy or printify

[@mahaakhan1787]

Which app/software do you use to customise POD orders?

How do you know if a digital file doesn't contain virus / malware / trojan?

[@urmixbyaagkool1863]

HI Alek, very informative - a question, is it ok to start one Etsy shop selling a multiple of these ideas e.g. all 7 product types under one shop or is it better to do just one product in one shop? Thank you

[@IandIKeepingitReal]

Thank you so much for sharing these wonderful ideas and suggestions. They really help a lot. A question I would humbly like to ask is what are some proven strategies to market and advertise one's business on a low budget in addition to social media where the markets already seem saturated? Thanks in advance for your time.

[@redypop9484]

I want to start apparel business but some people of my entourage is telling me that it’s saturated? Do u advice still to do it?

[@RoaringShadowQueen]

Is there a way to pay out to multiple people in the back end of Etsy. For example to split monthly profit payouts with a partner or as a way to pay royalties for art work? I know a whole community of painters, and a print on demand shop where they all can get exposure would be a gold mind. But they won't just want to sell their digital versions for a flat one-time fee. Plus they become marketing partners. So paying them would be easier through the backend of my shop thru Etsy, or do I have to handle that separately through my PayPal account?

[@makemoneyscout_official]

Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge. In this era, we need to strive hard to set up a business or side hustle at least to make the ends meet. Stay motivated people!

[@carlos1642]

Hi Alex one question if I wanna edit an image design on my Etsy listing let’s say a mug picture do I have to change it in printify as well it will change automatically or I need to do a new listing thanks

there is always something valuable in your videos. I never heard of photoleap but looks like a great tool I can use right now

[@athensniceboy]

so much information thank you so much...

[@brazillionnaire]

I’m a complete newbie here, so can you explain, when a sale is made on Etsy, who pays me ultimately? Is it Etsy or is it Printify? And how often can I withdraw profits?

[@wandergals]

Nobody replied to you I don't think but I can help! Etsy pays you directly, if using POD you would pay them, with the profits coming from the Etsy payments. You can be paid on whichever schedule you wish, I'm paid daily so I will always have the money to pay for orders as they come through, but you can also choose weekly or monthly payments if you prefer to receive it in bulk amounts (it doesn't make a difference to the amount received, it's probably a bookkeeping thing!). I hope this helps 😊

[@brazillionnaire]

@@wandergals thank you for your reply. Appreciate you taking the time to reply. 🙏🏻

[@leighhansen738]

Do you recommend enabling automatic routing, or something like that. I’m in Australia but obviously the biggest market is the US. Is it best to cater to the US and the customers here in Australia just wait a week or two for products, or do I enable the routing option so some things could be done closer to the customer…I’ve heard most people say no, don’t enable it. What’s you it advice on this?

[@MilenaKoncar]

Can we sell directly on Printify? If yes, why then people sell on Etsy things that are from Printify?

[@stevefairbrother6625]

hi Alex, great video thanks. I am in Canada so in Etsy can I sell to USA too? I downloaded your upload tool and installed it, another thank you. However after pasting to token in, nothing appeared unlike your items, what is wrong? Cheers, Steve

Things he doesnt mention is etsy charges you per listing and for renewing listings. There is also A LOT. Of scammers posing as etsy staff that try to say your account is suspended in hopes to get you to click theor links and give access to your information!

[@minabenjamin7560]

I am wondering when you mention that the business relies on dropshipping , does that mean with each single order do we have to take the order information and plug it manually in the website that will ship the product ? Or there is automated way to send the order info to the website which will ship and process the order? I wish you answer my question

[@daywizzle]

It’s automated i think

I have noticed that these shops tend to be selling one or two items. Is it a bad idea to open a shop that sells all kind of things based on a theme? So shirts, stickers, mugs, and so on based on a theme.

[@maarutisuman4852]

You can start a shop with one or two items but later you have to add more items in other categories to expand your business. You simply can't depend on one item-selling business, also you have to be innovative if you run it for long.

[@butterflyj685]

I was wondering the same thing too! I want to create a shop based around one theme but selling the various items you just mentioned, now I'm not sure that's the best strategy. The other day another 7-figure content creator that does POD says to focus only on one product like T-Shirts and put all your energy into it and not spread yourself too thin trying to put out other products. Then he says wait a few years and access the business then slowly start introducing another product.

Don’t know if this made it through, but what about this question from a few weeks ago: “I thought Etsy changed their AI product usage terms. Can you speak to the changes terms?”

[@OGMOKS]

Product uploaded didn't work for me

[@cmgweb6951]

These numbers in this example at 4:29 don't add up. First, you call out numbers different from those on the screen. Screen shows 3257 sales, with $54,195 in total revenue. That's an average of about $16.63 per item. Then you show 3383 saies (where'd this number come from?) at an 'alleged' profit of $6 each. Which POD platform is selling items for $16 and letting you take $6 of that? So Etsy is selling T-shirts at $16.63 with a 35% profit to the seller, after fees? I don't think these numbers are accurate.
