Is $450 in sales good for a shop opened around a month ago?

[@Claudia-md7te]

I came across your videos by googling how to create an account on Etsy and wow I'm mind blown of the amount of information you've shared. I truly appreciate your time and effort in creating this informative content. 😊

[@stephaniem1571]

KairisTees is my shop and you are more than welcome to use it at any time. I am so glad I found your channel. I like to have a variety of different teachers since everyone teaches things in different ways. I'm determined to make this work for me.

[@brandontimothy]

You make it work 🙌 All the best to your Etsy seller journey!

[@thebutterflyhat]

Thanks for taking me THROUGH THIS! i AM A HORRIBLE LEARNER ON VIDEOS. You made things very clear for me.

[@brandontimothy]

Wow I'm glad you found these videos helpful!

What bookkeeping software do you use for your physical shops?

Exactly what I was looking for mate, your helping me get closer to posting my first listings.

another great video, agree with the social media as well.

[@activedogzz100]

Love your content and delivery

[@eatlivebloom8076]

Nice tips. Like your channel🌸

[@carolynjanise4086]

I agree leave the social media alone if you want to focus on organic sales.

Thank you for the valuable advice!!

[@brandontimothy]

Thank you for watching!

[@clumsy.spirit]

Hey Brandon, I have an idea for your KZbin videos: Comment / review / offer constructive feedback to people's Etsy shops where you do an analysis of what they could do better. People could just comment their store on your socials and you could pick some. Good way for growing not only your following, offer good content, but also to support smaller shops 😊

[@brandontimothy]

This is a great idea! Thank you for sharing. I will start in the new year :)

[@clumsy.spirit]

@@brandontimothy amazing! Looking forward, I will stay tuned 😍

[@FrowningSparrowUK]

Thank you for all your videos, very helpful. I was surprised to find that Pinterest really worked at bringing sales in for me. I no longer bother with Facebook for Instagram as too much work for little return. I now only invest my time in Etsy, Pinterest, and my website. It is hard work but hopefully, it will be worth it.

[@Back_To_Basics]

Thank you for this video guide as many successful Etsy sellers that I trust said the same thing too. I tried these with my shop with no social media and it does bring slow, but steady sales as I’m new. I discovered that when I post a new listing consistently every week, Etsy started bringing more customers to my shop. This was the missing piece to the puzzle I felt..🙌🏼

[@brandontimothy]

Yes this is also very true! Thanks for sharing :)

[@polinaraw]

Thank you! It's interesting to hear your point of view on social media promotion when it comes to Etsy. I just started and it felt so overwhelming to think about starting social media accounts from scratch. I will focus my energy solely on the shop now!

[@brandontimothy]

Yea too much to worry about when starting out. Best of luck on your Etsy journey 🙌

[@polinaraw]

Super helpful information!! I learned a lot! Thank you

[@consueloclementi6727]

Thank you very much, Brandon, I am a new seller and I am still trying to figure out how ranking really works, I hope I can soon ask for a coaching call with you

[@Smirk_Station]

Thank u. We put a picture online and people said they want to buy it... I am trying to figure out how to get this one photo put onto an etsy store and have it have size options. Am researching POD and want to know what companies use. Thanks!

[@tracey26reacts59]

You’re so right about the social media, I can post something about my Etsy Shop & will get a lot of likes but NO ONE will click on the link provided

[@lmelyakim]

hi,i have clothes shop on etsy,and i want to start selling stickers on this shop,it is a good idea?

[@aiartgifts]

Really helpful tips! Thank you for sharing them. As a newbie I found tips 3, 5, 7, and 8 were most helpful to me. Etsy is wonderful, but there's so much to learn as a seller and creating products is only one small part of it. I appreciate your insights which give me hope that one day soon I'll gain some skins and ultimately more confidence.

[@brandontimothy]

You got this! Best of luck on your Etsy journey 🙌

[@gabrielschroll3824]

Great stuff! Also, great channel!! I've subscribed. I have only seen a couple of your videos so far, but can you (or anyone) tell me if it's better to create one poster and start my Etsy store with it right away? Or should I create 3 or 4, and then launch my store?

[@kokilaellil739]

Hi Brandon I am so impressed with your videos! As a beginner digital product seller its help me alot. My bigger concern is i dnt have many listing in my etsy shop. But i am working to get more listings. How do I create many listings every day?

[@brandontimothy]

Outsourcing is one way to streamline the creation process

[@brandontimothy]

Glad you found my videos helpful! All the best to your Etsy seller journey

ArtPrintAvenue is my etsy store. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

[@brandontimothy]

[@Nwcta14]

I have been watching your channel for the past 4 weeks, great content I find it very helpful. Would you recommend when offering different colors for digital downloads to have one listing with the option to select the desired color or multiple listings for each individual color option? Not sure which would have the best impact. Thank you!

[@LennyYT]

How much seo boost you’d attribute to tags? For what I understand they are not clickable which I find a big lost opp to find similar products 😮what’s your take?

[@lexierepp2530]

Hi! Do you coach 1:1?

[@Jeanne88B]

Great advice

[@viktoriasavran1971]

Great chanel. I just started couple weeks ago on Etsu and is still learning. Curious what you can say about my shop CrossSticthArtHouse. Thank you beforehand.

[@saltdesired]

Thanks so much for your input! Would you recommend having friends and family buy the first products and leave a review in order to get your shop off the ground? Or did you always do it "just" with SEO optimization etc?

[@TH-ez6hz]

Thanks so much! Would you consider a video on how to create high quality mock-ups for Canva templates? Your other mock-up videos are great (thank you!), but I'm having a hard time specifically creating mockups for Canva templates (effectively, a piece of paper) that rival what is on Etsy. Thanks!

[@rizisstudio]

Hi I’m from indonesia, is my shop accessible for other countries? Especially for the payment, etsy doesn’t provide paypal anymore😭

[@ezgisuberber653]

I love this man

[@alicemccree]

Can I categories 1 listing in multiple categories? Or would I have to duplicate my listing and place it in the relevant categories?

[@brandontimothy]

Each listing can only be categorized in 1 section unfortunately🥲

[@alicemccree]

Noooooo. Okay then, I guess I'll make my categories as specific as possible 😆

[@Om-gg5tk]

Great video Brandon! Is it a good idea to open a general Etsy store and have a mix of a lot of niches and products in 1 store so that it becomes easier to manage the store from just 1 email account and from customer support perspective? I am planning to open 2 Etsy stores wherein 1 store will be dedicated to only giftable jewelry but my second Etsy store will have POD items like mugs,tees,sweatshirts etc from multiple evergreen and trendy niches and also digital download items like printables,canva templates,planners, social media templates to make it easier for me as I still work full-time so managing multiple Niche stores simultaneously will be difficult for me, would really appreciate your thoughts on this, thanks ahead of time🙏

in the announcement section what do i include

[@brandontimothy]

Hey there! The announcement section of your Etsy shop is a fantastic way to keep your customers in the loop about all the exciting things happening in your shop, such as promotions, sales, and updates to your shop policies. You can start by introducing yourself and your shop to potential customers. 😃

[@antek6636]

I just finished project and when i add my pictures they get blurry every time and i check so many videos and sites but no help. If someone can help me i will be so grateful

What is SEO

[@brandontimothy]

Search engine optimization - it’s the process of improving your site/shop to increase its visibility when people search for something online

[@chitchat4851]

So for example key words in titles/descriptions/tags?

Is Redbubble a better choice to sell art than Etsy?

[@duartegomes8491]

Think it's oversaturated

[@azules.basics]

Are you familiar with Etsy "re-listing" fee? Did you know that "everytime" you sell a single quantity, you are also charged a 0.20cents "re-listing" fee? For example, if you have qty 999, and sell 1 item, and you are left with 998, you are STILL being charged a 0.20cents of "re-listing" fee even though you have 998 at hand? Why are they charging "re-listing" fee, when nothing is been "re-listed?" What do you think about this practice? I want to see what other sellers think...

[@Deteelove]

Hey Brandon.... love your videos! I'm a newbie kindly help me choose EverBee or eRank?? Newbie here....

I’d recommend both. Everbee to research listings, and eRank to research supply and demand. Even if you just use it for a month only, you can gain a lot of intel!
