I thought I heard every tip out there, but OMG, you took it to the next level. My fav is the same as you. What a genius hack. Thank you Taylor!

[@TaylorPOD]

No problem!! I’m glad it was valuable and things you hadn’t heard before! ☺️

My goodness, that demo video walkthrough is going to be an absolute game changer for my shop. I never considered just using a static image with animations, but I really love that idea! Thank you for all these awesome tips!

[@TaylorPOD]

Yay!! Yes it can be so simple! Less is more 😉

[@loliloli7168]

create a mock feed is a great genius hack!

[@TaylorPOD]

It really is a game changer!! It helped me so much because I am such a visual person!

One thing you didn’t mention was Etsy’s new search visibility guidelines for images (maybe you filmed before it came out last week) they do not want to see collages on primary images - not sure how this impacts all the images with CTA’s like “free shipping” or “personalized” but I did have it flag a few of my listings to improve the thumbnail where I had colors highlighted across the bottom. I do think using these types of callouts in the video is a great idea.

Hello good morning Thanks good work

[@TaylorPOD]

Thank you!

[@lauriepuleri5409]

Hi do you recommend having a different Etsy store for each type of product? so if you sell a bunch of mugs do you need one store for mugs and then another store for T-shirts or do you combine in one store?

[@Mark97_5]

Hello please what type of pod products are you selling ?

[@stevenchurch8751]

Hi Taylor….Do you recommend or have an opinion- Flat Lay MockUps vs Model MockUps. More and more I see the same model MarkUps being used….I am guilty of this too

[@TaylorPOD]

It really depends! I have some niches where flat lays convert better and others where lifestyle mockups convert better. Always test different mockups 😀

[@shonahall1689]

Definitely going to use your Canva video tip. I do sonwtimes find to get say a whole shirt in the frane that my design is a little lost, is there a way of making it enlarge when its hovered over?

[@lince725]

[@sandracredit2996]

Love Love Love your videos!!! So regarding the Mock Feed Demo idea where you do a screen shot of the compeition and insert your thumbnail...Which BTW I think is brilliant....But I was just wondering about the info that is under the thumbnail...is this ok that the info stays the same but just under your thumbnail now?

[@TaylorPOD]

Yes! Its really not about comparing titles of listings and more so just about visualizing your mockup image compared to your competitors 😀

[@sandracredit2996]

@@TaylorPOD thank you so much...I really look forward to your content...

[@thesaint5183]

The issue I'm running into is that for some home decor items, there are no mockups available anywhere. Everyone is selling t-shirts, mugs and sweatshirts, which is mostly what mockup sellers care about.

[@TaylorPOD]

I’ve found for some more intricate product types I have to play around with photoshop. It’s a bit of a learning curve but you can usually download a PSD file for mockups from Printify and customize them in photoshop to make something really high quality that looks great.

[@rmmoss3800]

Did you try Place It?

[@h2otaunt]

i’m actually really looking forward to this because my Printify thumbnails do okay but it doesn’t fully show the design. It’s so zoomed out

[@TaylorPOD]

Hope the video helped! You can adjust your thumbnails on Etsy to zoom in more! 😀

[@h2otaunt]

⁠@@TaylorPODBut at a certain point it’s zoomed in to where you lose wuality of the image. at 14:38 the “momster” shirt is a good example of a mock-up. i’ve seen that same girl image template on a bunch of stores but I don’t know how they make it. Do they use a website for it or is it done in Photoshop?

[@kathywalters3811]

Isn't there a new rule about not having the 1st thumbnail as a collage? I am not sure of all the details.

[@mrtonyp2463]

I'm trying to find the first video in t his series. LInk?

[@AniMerci]

Is Etsy new policy frowning on collage type images?

[@TaylorPOD]

That has been a factor they’re sharing in the new viability features! Curious to how it will play out though as front/back products do need to be displayed in some way in my opinion!

[@jowaller69]

I love this!!! Definitely going to do some of these ideas!!! Thanks 😊

[@TaylorPOD]

Yay!! So glad you liked it. Thank you for watching 😀

What is interesting to me is that none of these people tell us how they get traffic to their shops. Can youy pleas tell us how you do it.

[@TaylorPOD]

I have lots of videos about traffic. My traffic is from SEO and I use Etsy Ads as well. I have many full videos on those topics! 😀
