Create a Design People Actually Want to Buy (Beginners... Do This Now)

[@VivienneRussell]

Shawna, this video is so detailed and unbelievably helpful! It's just like all the stuff you teach us in the Learn & Earn academy! I've been using your General Niche Calendar for a while now and of course, soaking up all the trends, challenges, tips and tricks, and personalized help from Learn & Earn! Over the past few months, I've learned so much from you AND experienced a significant change in my results! With your help as my mentor, I am certain that this year will prove to be a big success and I'll be able to lay the groundwork to scale my shop in the future! You are the ONLY Etsy coach anyone needs! Thank you Shawa! Love you to pieces

[@CindySimpson-h8o]

No doubt at all mind that you were the most favorite teacher in your school! Thank you for dedicating your time and sharing your knowledge with us! You are not one bit stingy with your content and that's so very much appreciated! I would Love to see a tutorial on how to create the checkered patterns and such. Thank you! AND....Tucker always makes me very "hoppy"! He's too adorable! I hope you have a blessed week, Shawna!

[@ChandraB-love]

Shawna Thank You! I believe this is one of the most valuable videos I have ever watched. It is just what I needed, and I cannot wait to try out your method! I have slowly grown my shop with all your help the past year. I believe this year it will grow even more! When I first started this Etsy journey, I had no idea what I was doing. I had no money for the extras to learn. I took all the knowledge I could get from your free videos and in time was able to buy your calendars, then I was able to join the Learn and Earn academy. It has all been money well spent!! Your knowledge, time, and skills are priceless! I cannot wait to see what this year will bring! Thank you for all you do! You are a blessing to us all!

Seriously Shawna, your videos help me get focused to do what i need to do. I get so full of ideas durring reseach I struggle creating the actual listings in a systematic way and I know that will lead to burn out. I love your process

[@shawnalynn2083]

Thanks for joiningg us in the chat this morning SeekingEden! And I am soooo glad to hear this was helpful!

[@sonz4205]

Oh my word, how cute does Tucker look as a bunny??! 😂😂😂😂 I love this video, it took me far too long to put all this together and I really enjoy it now (thanks to you!!). You really are the best teacher for etsy POD! Thank you!! ❤

[@danid2334]

Yes please tutorial for the checker

[@SusanDettmer]

Do you have a tutorial of how to actually take each element and layer it to make a design?

[@ambersucces9867]

Shawna you are a gem!! I love watching all your videos. Will you be sharing how your 2024 went? I really hope you met your $200k in profit this past year. You're such an inspiration

[@chrismazz75]

Sorry I'm a few minutes behind.. I'd like to suggest castlecore or sea witchery as the niche for the next project.

[@shawnalynn2083]

Great suggestion! I'll be sure to add those to my list!

[@jeaninespets]

Very helpful! I have tons of ideas on digital items to make!

[@JhaenShop]

Wow! I love your videos so much. Have so much Value

[@SusanDettmer]

New question- how can you use Peter Rabbit in your SEO since it’s intellectual property?

[@alanamiller958]

Thank you so much for all the information. If you could pleaseeeee tell us how on earth do we get our stores seen??

[@sarahmarie607]

How do you advertise your shop? Purely via etsy ads or do you do facebook and IG ads as well?

[@paulahawthorne7807]

Can POD designs etc.. be used in solely in Etsy? I don't use POD but would love to be able to use this information for my shop. Thank you. Love your tutorials.

[@shawnalynn2083]

Yes they can! You can absolutely use the same design strategies even if you aren't using Print On Demand.

[@stacyosborn4537]

Shawna with group listings…do you feel Printful is easier to do them than Printify with the process of SKU and which one works easier for you with less upfront time and not messing up orders for example if we don’t add SKU’s in printful and add as you go…but if someone orders 2 and one you have added as you go but one you have not-Printful will not send the one over to let you know there is one order not filled that you have to do manually…or do you think it’s better to create a template and duplicate. I know you have done group listings from both companies and how to do them. Just wondering your preference! Ty Shawna for ALL your thorough videos!! And I was going to ask do you use many AI elements?

[@fezaaline7254]

Thanks for this video

[@isabelramos7466]

Shawna, I want to thank you with all my heart for all the videos that you have made for us with much love and without reservation, I value them a lot and I am learning from them.We love you 🥰🫶🌷

[@VanillaDaisy1k]

Tyyyy so much❤❤❤

[@surgicaltechcrafter2169]

Thank you. I want to start something but I'm 53 and I feel like I'm late to the show. I have an entire craft room with all the things but it appears POD is the way to go now. I have Canva Pro I have Creative Fabrica through 2030. I guess I need one Person that I click with to have a complete series from the ground up start to finish. I'm going to look through your videos and see where to start . It's so overwhelming. Business name, where to advertise, what is the best POD to go with. What are the fees for basically a "middle man" Etsy shop, 🤯

[@SusanDettmer]

I’m going to be 59 and in the same situation as you with a huge craft room etc

[@SusanDettmer]

It appears to me that by the time everyone takes their cut, BEFORE taxes you’d be lucky to profit 10%

[@danid2334]

Hi Shawna, in your online course do you give the trends ? What’s included

[@shawnalynn2083]

Hi there! I do a monthly trend report and so much more! If you enjoyed this video you will probably love it. Check it out and if it isn't for you just let me know within seven days and I will refund you. Hope this helps!

[@danid2334]

@@shawnalynn2083 lovely 😊 thank you 🙏

[@MildredFritchley]

Hi Shawna! Do you use any customization software on your Etsy shop? Thank you. I am learning so much with your videos. Thanks again!

[@christinacampbell7511]

Hi Shawna! My spouse got me your general niche calendar for christmas! It was bought with a different email than mine. Will that matter when it comes to updates etc ?

[@SusanDettmer]

I’m new and having a difficult time learning how to design mock ups

[@barbiemccraney]

Love your video. I have a few questions. Do you have more than one Etsy shop? Do you have like one for kids and one for adults or do you just do the children’s shirts kind of more for just showing on your KZbin channel? I’ve been thinking of starting to do kids shirts also along with adult apparel. Just can’t decide if I want to do it all on one shop or if I should start a separate shop for kids? Just curious if you knew if it did still work out to have children and adults together?

[@jamaibhassan]

thanks😀

[@frank4pickerson]

How do we allow clients to put their custom name when they try to purchase?

[@candor-tt4836]

You need to turn on personalization in printify before you publish.

[@KellyLombardo-yg8yx]

How long does it take you to do all the whole process? Is that 1 weeks worth of work? Or a day? Just generally curious as I feel like I am so slow. Just wanting a goal or mark to shoot for! Thanks!

[@mariostewart903]

I enjoyed this video 👏🏽 Home run B

[@ambersucces9867]

Shawna Im interested in joining your community but I sell physical and digital products only on Etsy. Do you have any fellow digital product people in your community or is it all POD? I plan on doing POD possibly later this year but Ive found that your mindset, techniques and strategies such as doubling down applies to me as well.

[@SusanDettmer]

Everything I research appears that the people that actually make money are those making/selling courses on KZbin?

[@shawnalynn2083]

Thanks bunches!

[@jasonmax5759]

Nobody buying nothing on there lol. I have 1500 items prices ranging from $2-$35 items and made $4 last week. I can show you the Etsy email where they sent the payout. My shop was banging in 2018. Now it’s crickets

[@shawnalynn2083]

Oh man! I am so sorry to hear that! Maybe try testing out a few new products or product designs? And are you still actively adding listings or are they mostly from 2018?

[@SusanDettmer]

Do you think people are using Temu instead of Etsy now?

[@candor-tt4836]

That's very scary. I'm new to Etsy.

[@helengren9349]

😳 You're burning money on fees for 1500 listings ! 😱

[@jasonmax5759]

@@helengren9349 yes , I did have 2200 listings and removed items that never sold

[@juxtagirl2102]

Ugh. Please turn the sound effects down for those of us who use earbuds. It’s painful and distracting.

[@helengren9349]

Please kindly, skip all synthetics on the dog...it's not healthy...😢

[@jowaller69]

I’d like a design for linemen that isn’t the same thing.
