Brandon, fascinating video, thank you for posting it!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you for the tips, I’d like to see more on seo: how to do titles and tags 😊

[@brandontimothy]

You got it!

Hi Brandon - great advice as always - can you please advise what size ratio you use for your thumbnail 14:04 and the corresponding pixel count for length and width ? I see 5:4 or 4:3 or square - what size do you like for least amount of cropping and looking good across the most platforms? Thank you !!

[@brandontimothy]

I use square for my mock-ups, but I keep all the important information in 5:4. So it doesn’t get cropped when viewed from different platform searches

[@jiggyplum7851]

Thank you so much - been looking for that info !!

Thanks for the info❤ Have you considered starting a new series where you start and grow a store from $0 to whatever. Bet it will be fun😊. PS: No need to disclose shop name

[@brandontimothy]

Yes, I'm planning to do this soon :)

Hi, Brandon, I need your help. I have an Etsy shop for resume templates. My first customer complaint that she couldn't buy my digital product.

[@DADDYSGIRL450]

Do you have Canva pro?

[@brandontimothy]

Hi there, just want to understand the question correctly. She couldn't buy it or she couldn't download it after she purchased?

[@AncientHinduChronicles-th4qu]

She couldn't buy it@@brandontimothy

[@brandontimothy]

Yes.

[@DigitalResellSuccess]

How is it that you do screenshot? On Mac, command, shift, and then the number 4? Not sure if I heard it correctly.

[@brandontimothy]

Yup! It’s “Command + Shift + 4, then click/hold the mouse button and drag the pointer over the area you want to screenshot :)

[@DigitalResellSuccess]

@@brandontimothy Perfect, thanks! That’s gonna make life so much easier!

Can i get banned for creating my Thumnails to similar to my competitors ?

[@brandontimothy]

Hello Tim, when it comes to crafting thumbnails, there isn't a strict set of rules. Typically, images in listings tend to resemble each other, as sellers often create designs based on what is popular in the market. However, I recommend customizing your design to incorporate your unique branding in the listing presentation. The primary risk of being banned is violating Etsy's policies, so I advise thoroughly reading their Seller Policy which can be found on the Etsy site as well.
