7 DEADLY Etsy Mistakes You Must Avoid in 2025!

[@worthyofsuccess]

You are so humble and kind. I really love your attitude and your energy. I put myself on your list and will be connecting with you this week for a one-to-one. Thanks so much. I'm glad I found you.

[@brandontimothy]

Wow thank you! I’m glad you enjoy my content :) looking forward to it

[@itsjessicahomann]

i really like the way you explained point one! no one has explained in such a on point way!

[@brandontimothy]

Thanks! Glad you found it helpful :)

[@dahrrg]

Nicely explained. Thanks. Here's my tip for you: The countless video cuts are made so it sounds all smooth, but the visuals are very distracting and unpleasant. Don't try to be a flwless speaker, just be yourself. Good content doesn't need to be overpolished.

Time to start a podcast Brandon! Could listed to you for hours!!!!

[@JJShalashaska]

I barely have views and visits. I've made 15 sales in 3 years. Didn't care of my shop so much and felt discouraged, but I don't want to give up yet. Because 15 sales can become 100, 100 can become 1000 and so on. My real issue is with SEO. What is the best SEO tool in your opinion? E-rank? Marmalead? Everbee?

[@shannonjohnson6381]

Thank you I needed this right now

[@brandontimothy]

Glad it was helpful!

[@paulinedesbiolles4583]

I love your content and your energy :))) Thank you for doing these amazing videos and explaining things clearly and in simple terms it's really helpful!!

[@aleeshasarr]

My problem this past year has been just starting. I think I’m mainly afraid if it failing and me giving up.

[@amanita1964]

1 ) Shop is to broad - Make it more Niche store 2) Lack of research 3) Stop copying competitors 4) Brand lacks consistency - Font style - Images - Logos - Colors 5) Not listing to Feedback or Analytics 6) Incomplete or Unclear Policies 7) Giving up to Soon ! Thank you

What website would you suggest is best for creating mock-ups for financial planner printable and financial google sheet templates?

[@bhumikapatel4432]

Hey Brandon, I am so glad I found your channel. I also signed for the chance to join your coaching program however I never received any sort of confirmation. Would love this opportunity to learn.

[@AlexandraaParis]

Is it too broad to sell daily digital planners AND wedding planners? Should I make a separate store for the wedding planners?

[@brandontimothy]

Start with one, then expand into the other category after. They’re relatively close enough/related to be in the same shop.

[@SuperMrsMar]

I'm at the spot where I made the mistake of chose 2 very different categories to sell and while it would be easy to pick 1 over the other, I would still lose the money I spent to post the other items and my only review (from my husband). I know it is the right thing to do, but it is still ouch.

[@brandontimothy]

It really depends case by case, I’ll need to take a look at the shop and see what the best next move is

[@HepsikullanimdaAQ]

mate whenever you put your hand on the table, or hit your hand to the table, we have an annoying 'bumb' sound, you might want to use a tripod for your mic, to remove it's connection to your desk. Or you can stop hitting on your table xD

[@thisisyoutubehandle]

Good stuff. Question about the last point. What do you think about people talking about "passive income" when that's pretty much the opposite of etsy business especially at the beginning?

[@MinistryofFilms]

Im finding the esty fee's taking most of my sales/profit. any ways around that, or it is a case of putting more listing out or pricing them higher?

[@brandontimothy]

Yes exactly! Try to create bigger bundles so you can increase your price. All the best on your Etsy seller journey.

[@ness3140]

Any tips for very oversaturated niches? Like for example press on nails please 💕

[@ElysianFields108]

This might sound weird, but this is a legit sub-niche for any kind of nail tech. If you can offer something with your press on nails that women with "club thumbs" (also called short- or stub- thumbs) can wear, and can show that you know about this (google "Brachydactyly type D" or "Megan Fox thumbs") and truly care about how your customer wants to have pretty hands regardless of this, you will have success! Another niche could be for transgendered women looking for press on nails and may need larger size nails.

[@trowan55]

Brandon, is there any reason not to use PNG images instead of JPG? Or even SVG's? Just curious. Thanks.

[@brandontimothy]

Yup that works too. It really depends on the type of digital file you’re delivering

[@georgetsoi2288]

Brandon, what’s your sign?

[@Auntdidder]

I’m not finding where to sign up for the newsletter. Can you direct me to the link please?

[@maugongora1027]

what would be considered high level of competition to enter a niche? 10,000? 50,000?

[@brandontimothy]

It’s only relative to the amount of supply (search amount) for that same keyword. Then you can decide if it’s saturated

[@karlamurphy9934]

Hey Brandon! Love your content thanks so much! I did your shop critique early this year when I opened in January. I’ve made adjustments since then. Do you offer a “shop audit” for return customers? I don’t need the basics like banner etc. Just wondering if you offer anything like that. Thanks 😊

[@YogaBlissDance]

Great question! I should do this shop audit with him, I have the basics in place.

[@applepi5100]

Hi Brandon! Do you know any other marketplace or websites to sell printable wall art other than Etsy?

[@Wheelztotheworld]

Great content

[@brandontimothy]

Thanks for watching!

[@blissessentials524]

So I ran a sale and totally forgot to renew it..but got new orders..so now I don't want to put up a sale bc of the new orders i don't want angry customers ...should I wait to have their orders get delivered first ?

[@brandontimothy]

That is totally up to you and where you are in your Etsy seller journey. But generally I think it’s okay to renew it if that was your original plan

[@LovelyDollsAndToys]

LOVE YOU 💝

[@Peptalkhub]

Do you work with people 1-1 guiding them on ETSY? I’ve sent emails but haven’t gotten an response.

[@ewaa1111]

Where are people buying products to sell on Etsy??? I'm confused i thought Etsy was for selling handmade products...i see handbags,rugs etc being sold ????
