How I Did over $945,000 My First Calendar Year on ETSY

Tip! When you send a little card that ask for a review. Add a QR code to make it that much easier for the customer to add a review. This concept aligns with a “customer journey map” this will help the efficiency on your business.

Awesome thats a great value add !

For the regular people who don’t have KZbin channels. Patience is key, just because you don’t make a million your first year doesn’t mean you will never get there. You can do it too.

[@EcomHannah]

For sure love that ! I mention this a lot in my KZbin channel it is one major theme of my entire channel, even though this brand hit 1 million the first year I’ve been in entrepreneurship with many many many failures for 2 to 3 years before this, I learned by falling on my face many many times

This is a success story and no mistake; having said that, your timing was 👌. People went NUTS with spending during the pandemic, so opening a store at that time was genius.

[@In.this.economy]

This video changed my life I was stressing about trying to get my first 200 listings and your idea to duplicate is amazing! The only thing I see you suggested I wouldn’t do is to respond to the negative review because it will lock that review and the customer can’t change it. You want to give your customer a chance to change the negative review to a more positive review. I would say if the customer just refuses to change then respond to the actual review.

[@EcomHannah]

Wow awesome value in this comment! I agree, I wish I could change the video now haha Thanks so much for the love and commenting!

[@lauriemyers3]

As a buyer, I personally hate duplicated SKU’s because it requires me a sh*t ton of time comparing descriptions to make sure I’m getting what I want

[@EcomHannah]

For sure that makes sense!

[@gjk540]

I think the star seller badge is--or has become--important. When I'm looking for a specific product on Etsy, my preference is to search within the star seller shops. I know the item I ordered will be exactly as described, and it will arrive within the specified timeframe. In the rare instance that there is a glitch, the shop owner will *always* respond to a question within 24 hours. A couple of other tips that will encourage a customer like me to return to your shop are: (1) package items well for safe shipping; (2) *always* include a small thank-you note; and (3) offer a discount to encourage repeat purchases.

[@idontheartliers]

Be careful. Many sellers are buying their shipping labels early. To Etsy, it looks like it's being shipped on time, but in reality, it ends up sitting in pretransit far past the shipping date. This is happening often, unfortunately.

[@G.G.8GG]

Wonderful video, 8 years ago I made and sold decorative wagon wheels and was very successful, but unfortunately I had to close shop because of too many orders and with that said, 100% of sales had in return a solid 5 star rating, nothing less. I did this all without paying for anything extra and I believe with a 5 star rating which helped drove in traffic. I wish you much success and keep up the good work! I plan on doing this again and have designed a new wagon wheel product that's still not out there on the market. Much success to everyone!

The problem with ads is that if you start using them then you can't stop, it's like the algorithm notices when you stop and stops showing your listings, even ones that were showing up organically. (Not 100% sure about this but saw a couple of sellers say this 🤔)

[@EcomHannah]

I agree but unfortunately if you don’t use them at all you won’t be able to compete with your competition and won’t make nearly what you could

[@staceyhawley3701]

Great point on number three! Something I heard a long time ago that stuck with me is the more "BUY" buttons you have in your store, the more chances of making a sale(s). So particularly at launch, it is a great idea to have an array of designs and products for your potential customers to see. It gives your potential customer s a clear picture of what you are about and what your style is. And even if these are things that may be changed or tweaked later, you want to make sure that you look legit when a customer walks through your virtual door for the very first time. It's cliche but a first impression is everything! I also want to thank you for your info. I am so pleased and excited to have found your channel and videos! Trust me when I say I have seen about content creator and list of suggestions regarding pod on KZbin as well as virtual course creators and sellers and I constantly find that I'm hearing the same suggestions over and over. You have given me things that I have never heard and never considered before. And that is truly exciting! Although some of the things you're saying seems so basic, it's still extremely valuable! It's almost like it's things I should have already known because every point you've made made perfect sense. And every point you made can and will easily make more dollars and cents 💰💲 the value of your knowledge doesn't in the simplicity of the information you have taught here. Rather it's value lies in the results I plan to achieve once I implement your suggestions. And for that I thank you! You have certainly gained a new subscriber for life!

I feel like there is still a lot of that on there, we still make everything in house but have scaled out our systems but yes as market places get saturated this is going to happen in business and it forces us to build better ones. We have a choice to optimize and become more competitive or get drowned out. But I would still say it is not as bad as amazon, there are still many creators on the platform doing very well.

For sure! Not really the point of the video, the value is in the strategy and methods I am teaching for your own business. My numbers don’t really help your own store in any way only meant to inspire what is possible. We ran a 32% profit margin that year before employee wages and taxes.

You know Another big earner on Etsy has only 65 items and 1 bundle, so only 6 listings total. She's in a very competitive niche in general but she positioned her items in a sub niche and she's doing really well. So quantity isn't the answer for everyone. You know

For sure! Totally agree and totally depending on the niche. That’s exactly why the video is “How I did… xyz” not “Hot to do …. Xyz” I can only share things from my experience and add value through what worked for me. Absolutely does not mean it will work for every niche as competition varies, search volume varies, price point etc there are many variables that exist for different niches :) which is great that you pointed out because that’s a huge thing people must understand coming into the space. because it worked for one niche does not mean it will it will 100 % work for another

[@EcomHannah]

Selling and the buyers are re branding :) thanks for watching

[@leafuentes]

@@EcomHannah Ahh very cool :)) Huge Congrats. Would LOVE to see a future video on this process if you feel comfortable sharing. xx

[@neilrerup9539]

Got a couple of learned items from you. Thanks for making the video...

[@EcomHannah]

Hey, thank you for watching

[@nz7780]

Just watched this video and loved it! So happy for you & all your success thus far, very inspiring! Thanks so much for making this and for your willingness to share your personal business data. It was very helpful to see how to use the competitor analysis tools and I think you shared a lot of insightful tips for people who are just starting out.

[@EcomHannah]

thank you so much for the love and commenting these are the comments that make me feel like I am making a difference for people :]

[@Bohohoho]

I opened my store almost 2 months ago and still waiting for my first sale.❤

[@EcomHannah]

That’s okay keep learning keep going :)

[@Nathanjesseworld]

Thank you so much for this video; I’ve been trying to figure out how to grow my channel and how I want to go about branding myself and stepping into more social media influencer content, and this video has been extremely helpful. Congratulations on all your accomplishments.

[@EcomHannah]

AWESOME you got this girl starting is always the hardest but you can do it for sure

[@bubblegum505]

You are such an angel :') Hope you are blessed with 10x times increased income in 2023 and beyond.

[@EcomHannah]

Thank you! You too!

[@jessicae1492]

Thank you so much for this information! I will have a limited quantity of certain products and wasn’t sure how to put quantities in since I like to make multiple listings.

[@EcomHannah]

Yes check sumtracker out they are awesome

Way to go, that's awesome! I thought I did good reaching the 6 figure mark my first year... it's inspiring to know there is no ceiling and I can go SO much farther 😊 I JUST came across your channel... and I I'm curious...you mentioned tweaking tags and titles. This has been a real issue for me, I was under the impression that it could take upwards of 30 days for the algorithm to really catch on to the changes. Has this changed? Or maybe I got the wrong information? I'd be SO excited if this isn't the case! I'm subscribing... and so glad I stumbled across your video! 💗

[@EcomHannah]

Wow thank you so much for the kind words! And yes you can do anything you put your mind to ! Yes you can let the keyword sit for 3 to 4 weeks to see if they really get traction. You can also duplicate the listing and run two listings against each other that have slightly different tags

[@terrellsmith6715]

If you hit 6 figures then you did good…congrats

[@gfree8037]

Wow, you have come a long way since I met you in 2019

[@EcomHannah]

Thanks for the love !!

[@suzannewebb7661]

I just found your channel. Love it!!💕💕 I agree that being present in your Etsy account is helpful. Do you think having multiple variants in a listing is a good way to increase exposure?

[@EcomHannah]

Awesome thank you so much for this comment and sharing all the love it seriously keeps me going! and yes especially because if the main image shows a bundle, it will always auto populate the cheapest price which increases your clicks which is the hardest part about getting traffic is earning that click

[@suzannewebb7661]

Awesome video and great content! Quick question regarding "ads". You mentioned having a "minimum" of 50 SKUs, and you also mention paying for a *minimum* of $5/day for advertising (at least in the beginning). Is it necessary to spend $5/day per SKU? Or would the $5/day ad rate cover your entire Etsy store? And congratulations on your success! 🙂

[@henryking2119]

The 5$ a day covers your whole store. I guess technically you can pick and choose what items in your store are included in the ads

[@paulyneskipsey]

Thankyou for your helpful info I am busy trying to make my shop a success. Well done. ❤

[@EcomHannah]

Hey that is awesome keep it up :]

[@faithfilledprints]

I have a question...if my one digital product goes 500 sales , does the transaction fee of 6.5% apply on each time ..like 500 times?? And does Etsy charge before transaction or after?

[@EcomHannah]

It gets deducted from your payout and yes it applies to every sale

[@EcomHannah]

Technically it comes out to about 9.5 percent because that includes the merchant fee of 3%

[@faithfilledprints]

Where’s your Etsy store link?

[@EcomHannah]

Hey Amanda I actually don’t share publicly for obvious reasons as a person that dedicated their entire life to building brands on Etsy and Shopify I do try to preserve my brands as much as I can. While competition is not always a bad thing I do try to preserve my brands for the time I can. Other KZbinrs who share their product listings and their storefront will even admit that it definitely comes with a cost but I would say the real value for your own business is implementing and doing the strategies that I am teaching. I have had people go straight to my website and steal my images and my designs without even trying to be an entrepreneur I hope you can understand

[@pinkmacprincess]

@@EcomHannah Really, that makes more sense why I haven't seen people advertise their store page. It's unfortunate that people out there try to take from small businesses. Thank you for explaining that to me.

[@EcomHannah]

No worries at all, once I sell my brands I will be more than happy too :]

[@EcomHannah]

Mmm not necessarily since I have sold smaller ones in the past it is all contingent on the buyer you have and the deal you set up with them.

[@EcomHannah]

Yes I have just sold my main brand a few weeks ago too and it is in the contract that I have rights to the strategy of what I teach to share in my ALL IN masterclass that I am creating

[@rarelyaccurate6252]

Love the hustle.

[@EcomHannah]

Thanks for watching !!

[@emilyraybabin]

Hi Hannah! Thanks so much for this video! Two questions! Do you do consulting? And do you have ads turned on for every listing, or top sellers? New listings as well? Cheers!

[@EcomHannah]

Thank you so much for watching and I actually am offering store audits right now :] please email me at [e-mail]! I run ads on all listings and turn off ones over time that do not perform or are "dead" listings

[@themediterraneanguy]

Such a great video, Thank you so much Hannah for taking the time to make it, You’re so positive and inspiring

[@EcomHannah]

Thank you so much for taking the time to comment and share the love :]

[@WavmicGrace]

Hi! Thank you for the great content. I had two questions. When you say to have at least 50 listings, do you recommend listing 50 all at once, or only listing one a day until you reach 50 listings? Also, once the areas to input information are filled, and the item descriptions and branding are to your liking, how do you "stay active" every day without reviews to answer or items to ship? Would logging in suffice?

[@EcomHannah]

does not have to be all at once just keep launching and testing new listings as you make them. Stay active meaning, updating listings, testing new main images, answering customer service, fulfilling orders fast, testing new ways of bundling your items

[@WavmicGrace]

@@EcomHannah Sorry for the late response! I wasn't notified for some reason, but thank you for responding! That makes sense and I appreciate the advice. Thank you very much!

[@jacklynwatz980]

I wish you would've started number 4 by giving the definition of "SKU" and explaining what it is. I googled it but I still don't quite understand and it sounds like an important part of the process. Other than that your explanations are impeccable. Very helpful. Thanks 🦋

[@EcomHannah]

SKU is a Stock Keeping Unit identification number you can make up and give to your product listings in the back end of your products. SKUs do a lot of things for your tracking and bookkeeping of your inventory :]

[@muzzabear]

@@EcomHannah Do they have much benefit apart from tracking inventory on the seller's side? As in, does having a SKU for your product help it become more visible in Etsy searches? (I sell digital products, but have never used them before). And as for joining them up for duplicate listings, I'm guessing this means more listings = more traffic/views to your store? :)

[@EcomHannah]

@@muzzabear If you are selling digital goods and have no need to track inventory then no you do not need a SKU system it is really only for bookkeeping and inventory tracking purpose but if you have no money tied up in inventory than it does not matter for you :]

[@ThePeachesandCo]
