When I first started out, I took the advice to bulk create and push out 100s of designs, but I had not learned how to design yet. So I had 300+ terrible designs in my shop and almost no sales for a while, and I felt like I almost had to start over when I finally learned good design.

[@hannahebeling]

It's definitely a balancing act as a POD seller. You are both trying to make great designs and do good research, but also not let that hold you back from getting products up. Good for you for working to improve!

[@megann7543]

How and what did you do to learn good design?

[@hannahjoy4857]

@@megann7543 I watched Detour Shirts' design series here on KZbin. He has the best way of explained basic design principles.

[@GabyGaraban]

That is exactly my problem, I am having issues designing. I have only uploaded one single design and I feel my designs are not good at all and I don't know how to improve them 😢

[@hannahjoy4857]

@@GabyGaraban Watch videos and practice. Keep making bad designs until you start to improve. If you know your design is not great, that means you have some type of eye for it and can learn.

[@stubbs0999]

You're awesome Hannah - Super straight to the point, motivating, and always super helpful with practical tips every time. Thank you for being YOU! I have an Etsy store selling BC3001 Tee's and more recently added G18000 Sweater's and G18500 Hoodie's that I started at the beginning of May. I have 520 unique t-shirt designs of which 42 of the sellers/newer designs are on sweaters/hoodies. I have 41 sales so far and am addicted to that feeling I get when I see the "Cha-Ching!" notification on my phone! You have convinced me to jump on the Kittl train to pump out higher quality designs at a quicker pace.

[@hannahebeling]

That's so awesome!! Good for you. It's so cool to see those new sales coming in more and more often!

[@FurbabiesnFun23]

Hey stubbs how long did it take you to get the 41 sales?

[@stubbs0999]

@@FurbabiesnFun23 I technically opened my store on or around April 25th, but didn’t list anything until May 1st. Those first 100+ designs were absolutely horrible haha - I look back at them and shake my head. My first sale was on June 10th and my 41st sale yesterday. My conversion rate was 0.8% in June, 1.1% in July and currently 1.5% in August for a total average of 1.1% all time. Everything seems to be trending in the right direction but I know it’ll still take a lot of discipline and consistency to get where I want to go. I am determined to make this work though so I’m not going anywhere! How about you?

[@mkingscott]

Great video, v motivating 👍 I've got another 5 sales to go until my first 10, and I'm on 82 products. It's become clear i need to focus on niche research, however.

[@hannahebeling]

That’s awesome though!! Getting those first sales is the hardest, but now you know you can do it!

[@mkingscott]

@@hannahebeling I'm chatting with someone about three custom mugs, one of which I can sell two designs of, and one that I can sell as personalised, so 🤞 Thanks again for the video 👍

[@Nadi-wj2vz]

Thank you so much for your great Videos, they are all just so great and helpful. I wish you just the best Hannah

[@hannahebeling]

Glad you like them!

[@user-zt3zn8vn9y]

Hello Hannah, I have really enjoyed your videos and the way you present them. I am in the process of doing my top ten designs here in England/UK. One of the problems is understanding or knowing about the pixel size for each t-shirt you put up for sale as well as the price guide which I am slowly learning. Thank you

[@pamelamitchell5862]

Hannah your videos are so helpful and inspiring. I was ready to give up. I got the 100 listings done 11 days ago and was so proud of myself. Alas not one sale. I just don't understand what I am doing wrong. I have looked at my etsy shop and it looks fine to me. However when I look at my shop on the phone app it shows nothing I have recently done. I am stumped. I started this shop to supplement my social security income and I'm thinking perhaps I'm out of touch and this is not something I can be successful at.

[@hannahebeling]

You've got this! I'm so glad you passed that upload milestone. Sometimes it can take days to a few weeks for Etsy to really start ranking all your products and understanding who you target audience is. In the meantime, don't give up and keep uploading as much as possible!

[@tonyr.4778]

Question - should you have everything in one store, or a separate store for each niche?

[@ZoltanJaromi]

Hi! Can it work if we choose a niche that we are passionate about? Thanks for answer.

[@Amanda-hz2ve]

Hi Hannah thank you for your very informative videos, I started my first POD a week ago now have 57 products so far, should reach my first 100 soon. going to get started on Christmas products now.

[@hannahebeling]

Woohoo!! Look at you go! You’ll be at 100 in no time!

[@daniellemetoyer]

Wow 57 in a week thats impressive! I started mine two weeks ago have almost that amount.

[@successfulpeople]

Hi, where is the link to the video on finding niches that you referred to? I clicked on your link and was taken to a place with thousands of other stuff. I just want to go directly to the video. Thanks

[@colormequirky2303]

You always tell us what to sell and how much it cost but I'm still lost on how much to sell for that's the hardest part in my opinion. I know it's up to each individual person but I don't want to charge 15-25 for a shirt when everyone else is charging 5-10 in so confused

[@antonellacooper]

Hi Hannah! Thanks for all your videos 🤗 I have a doubt tho. What happens if someone buys a customized product and a regular product (SKU) should I add the customized product to Etsy first? Do you have a video about it? Thank you again 😊

[@kelleyerway649]

"Tshirts are the bread and butter of ALL of my print-on-demand stores" May I ask how many POD stores you have? :)

[@marinrodriguez7729]

When uploading those first 100 designs, is the goal to target your "special" niche or multiple very specific niches? I could do 100 different designs for the sub niche of father of a middle school math teacher but is that efficient use of my time? Over saturation notwithstanding.

[@chipcook5346]

Thank you for the reframe idea.

[@user-jj6sm1ui7h]

Hi Hannah, thanks for your motivation. I made my 10 first hope to have my 100 sales soon 😁

[@hannahebeling]

That's amazing! Congrats!

[@juliazanette4890]

I have almost 300 listings and still no sales :( I've been working hard on SEO with titles and tags, designing for different niches, and using ads but still no organic sales. What am I doing wrong??

[@user-go5vl9rv4p]

After I sold the first 10 pieces, I waited half a year for the up , which took a long time, sometimes I didn't understand the upgrade system.

[@hannahebeling]

That’s so frustrating! I wish Amazon wouldn’t make some people wait and some not!

[@successfulpeople]

Thank you very much for the motivation. I kept jumping from creating one store to another and have never made a single sale. I am going to follow your strategy. One question, When is it a good time to start advertising products on Etsy? I listed only 5 products and started advertising. There are some clicks but no sales. Should I wait till I have enough listed products? Thanks

[@yousufaley]

Thank you for providing such useful information. I appreciate it so much.

[@hannahebeling]

[@MileyonDisney]

Thank you. Do commas make a difference in the Etsy title?

[@hannahebeling]

I try to leave them out to have more exact matches!

[@basedtiger8984]

Hi, can we make multiple Etsy stores with one email account? Multiple niches etc

[@hannahebeling]

You can have multiple, but should use different emails.

[@FRACC847]

Hello! Hannah. Would you be interested someone a requesting of someone letting you evaluate their print on demand store and you giving them feedback after checking their store?

Thanks Hannah for your awesome videos! You give awesome tips and because of your one video on creating 10 listings in 10 minutes (not quite as fast as that myself haha) but I signed up for Kittl (I made sure to use your link) don't know if you got the credit for it but I did make sure I used yours as your video was the one where Kittl "clicked" for me like OH okay...I had seen it before from other youtubers but it hadn't clicked quite right but after seeing your video and the potential for it I signed up so thank you for that :D

@@hannahebeling no problem at all! I try my best to support channels if something clicks for me or I get it because of one of their videos I make sure to sign up under their link :D Appreciate your content SO much friend! And haha its totally eye popping how fast you can create designs (I created one but it was a nurse one) and I kind of used the same design with minimal edits to fit the specific nurse theme but one of these days I'll use that INCREDIABLE POD Niche source you share with us (thank you thank you) its amazing but I'll use that and create 10 "new" designs LOL :D honestly even if it takes me an hour that's much faster than Canva :D

Do you select all products for example on amazon merch. When getting to the 100 designs i want to understand this part better.

[@hannahebeling]

When you are in the higher tiers on Amazon, yes, you should upload to all products!

[@KimCinAZ]

I feel stupid for asking this, but I can't figure it out: if you have only 10 slots available, why are you creating hundreds of designs? I am not on Amazon Merch On Demand, so I guess I do not understand how it works. Please explain. Sorry for being a dolt. ;-)

[@hannahebeling]

This is true for when you first get on Amazon Merch, but not the case on other platforms like Etsy.

I've been told that tshirts and sweatshirts are over saturated and way too much competition. What is your opinion on this?

I think there is still a lot of room in the marketplace as long as you have a good niche--however, there are tons of other products out there with less competition that can be a great place to start too!
