How To Do Niche Research On Etsy For Print On Demand - EverBee Research Tool Tutorial

[@suswil9086]

I love how super chill you are!

[@CassiyJohnson]

Appreciate that

[@Carol-LeeB]

Just ordered EverBee! I'm excited! You're an awesome teacher! Another great video!

[@jeremyhall3470]

This was a really great video, I have watched all of them and in this very pivotal shift for me I’m really looking to get the store up and running. My biggest struggle is wanting to be completely different and unique and not like all of the other shirts I see but thinking of it as a general store i.e. Walmart and just enhancing designs currently selling has helped guide me in another direction so thank you

[@CassiyJohnson]

So glad I could help! I know there is a lot of analysis paralysis in the beginning because there is so much to learn but trust me, just getting started and throwing some stuff out there are testing different things is the only way to learn and grow. Try not to take yourself too seriously or overthink things (I know easier said than done). I wish you the best of luck and glad I could help some!

[@corinnaneufeld5772]

Amazing content. Thorough, concise, and easy to understand 👍🏼

[@eurossocial]

Very helpful information you provided with your video. I haven't start my etsy shop yet. But I am trying to learn as much as possible first. I want to start selling only digital download products. as i don't want to involved with the confusing Shipping stuff yet. Do you have any video I would like to watch, about the process of uploading and creating a listing for digital products? and how to sell them? You have a new subscriber to your channel.

[@DarcyGuest-h3e]

Thank you Cassiy. As always, a fountain of information!

I started my etsy store on february 1, 2023. Your videos have been the best walk through tutorials for me. My store looks very professional and i have made 3 sales ( from family lol) but either very happy with the results. Im actually in need of help with good niches and the group shirts set up through printify. Please help

Hi Cassiy, Thank you so much for sharing such valuable info with all of us. Quick question: How do you know if someone's design is trademarked? Besides the big brands, obviously. TY! :-)

[@miketier9674]

Hi Cassiy, Can yoy tell me what Everbee plan you are on in this viddy. Is it Growth or Pro plan.Thankyou

[@CassiyJohnson]

I have the Growth plan!

[@KellyGoss-fj1yv]

thanks for a great video! super helpful and clear. I like the way you don't rush through the steps! Do you have any videos for what to do once you've decided on what to design? thanks!

[@loliloli7168]

Hey, Cassiy! Soooo excited to see this video content. I am so confused about it you mentioned that don't make the same design as the best-selling listings. But I want to know how you bring the new design style, How do you accumulate design inspiration as well as try to stand out from the crowd on the first page? I think bringing the design idea or design style etc, this portion it's so difficult

[@CassiyJohnson]

I know this can be one of the most confusing parts in the beginning. What I would recommend is starting taking screen shots of design layouts/ design styles/ and design colors in separate folders on your phone. Then when you are looking for inspiration, go to those folders and try to think how you can apply those elements or combine elements from a few of the design, for the design you are making right now. Eventually you will find a few design styles you make best and you will just repurpose them for every niche that you design for 100's of times. Hope this helps you!

[@lollydolly7167]

Would you say everbee is better than erank can only afford subscription to one of them.

[@ashs5398]

Thank you so much for informative and educational videos, they're truly helpful. Also, thanks for sharing everbee discount link, we used it. Just learning and will be starting etsy shop soon. Do you have discount code or percent off for Erank also? Thanks

[@kitnewlin3068]

Such a great video. Everything was clear and easy to understand. I clicked on the Everbee link you provided. Thanks! I love to design but have trouble with most anything technical. Of the available research tools, which would be easier to navigate and understand ... Everbee, Marmalead, ERank, Sale Samurai, Alura??? Also, is it worth it to get the Everbee Growth Plan for $19.99 a month? Thanks bunches Cassiy!

[@CassiyJohnson]

I honestly don’t have a ton of experience with all of the tools. I didn’t use any of them for building most of my business but in the last year or so I’ve been using Everbee a lot. I like that Everbee helps me just do what I’m already doing but just faster! Erank is a separate website and I ended up spending way too long looking at the random stuff in their site but it was more data than I thought was needed. So for that reason I like Everbee! But wouldn’t hurt to watch some comparison videos or try each of their free plans and then pick what works best for you!

[@kitnewlin3068]

@@CassiyJohnson Thanks Cassiy! I signed up for Everbee and so far have found it to be really easy to navigate and understand. At last I will have taken steps to be found by that crazy algorithm. I have learned SOOOO much from you!!! Blessings sweet lady!

[@allisonwilson9154]

Thank you for this video! For a busy college student how many listings do you think I should focus on making everyday? Is 1 or 2 okay?

Hi Cassiy, great video. Do you use the Everbee Growth Plan or Pro Plan? I find very little information with the Pro Plan and I'm not sure if that is just me.

[@sandysplannershopandcrafts4847]

Awesome video Cassiy! Thank you

[@CassiyJohnson]

Thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed it!

[@eternity6615]

Cassiy what are your thoughts with shops that list items for super low - only to find out when you click on the listing it is sold out. It gets them on the front page and they get sales, I'm not sure if customer know its a trick like us etsy sellers know it is. Do you think its a good strategy? Also, can you add to your long list if video's to make - explain and show how to use etsy adds? I'm sure its a no-brainer, but my brain is fried these days trying to cram all your good content in it, lol!! Love your channel!!

[@CassiyJohnson]

I think most customers don't even look at the price much until they first see a picture of an item that they like. Personally, if I thought a shirt was $12, I'd think it was bad quality. I wouldn't recommend this process but feel free to try it for a month or two and see how it works for you! I have sold almost 20k items and most at $24.99 shirts with free shipping. Don't overthink it, if you have a good design, good SEO, and good mockups, then you will get sales no matter what the price!

[@karenkilba2907]

Thank you for such informative videos, I am taking notes and working towards creating my own designs. I am thankful 💜 I found your videos because it’s giving me hope that maybe I too, can create an income stream from home.

[@CassiyJohnson]

You absolutely can Karen! I have tons of family and friends that are doing this and making money as well. By no means am I some magical unicorn. Anyone willing to put the work in can be great at this!

[@marys.5050]

Another great video Cassiy! I'm so happy for your success overall and for my getting to learn from you now! Yay us!! I'm curious when you started using everbee or any of the other tools? Did you use any of the other tools, Alura, etc.? If I can learn from what you did I'm happy for it...so I don't get into analysis paralysis of comparing the tools (again).

[@CassiyJohnson]

Great question Mary! I didn't use ANY tools the whole 2 years I've been selling up until now that I found EverBee actually. So you don't NEED any of them. I just look through all the first and second page of results for keywords other people have used and come up with my SEO. I think some of those keyword searching tools can definitely give analysis paralysis for finding SEO because you want to find the most searched terms with the least amount of listings but my most searched term this month is "bachelorette party shirts" lol The reason I'm enjoying Everbee is because it does the same thing I would have done anyways by looking through each listing but it just puts them on one page for me and makes it so much faster. I also like being able to see approx how many sales each one has had more easily by sorting them instead of going through to see how many reviews each one has and guessing. So maybe hold off on buying any and focus on the basics first and then consider which ones can help you do what you already do faster.

[@marys.5050]

@@CassiyJohnson Great response! Thank you Cassiy!!

[@marys.5050]

@@CassiyJohnson Thanks for that detailed reply Cassiy. I totally know what you mean about scrolling down to approximate how many sales an item is getting. One thing I wonder is if we are better off looking at items that are having sales success but have been posted more recently. For example, if a shirt has 500 sales but it was originally posted 3 years ago, maybe it's not ranking for the those keywords, but being pushed by Etsy. I don't know. Just a thought. Vs a shirt that is ranking and was just posted 90 days ago.

[@CassiyJohnson]

@@marys.5050 It wouldn't still be on the first page if it wasn't ranking for that though! Don't overthink it, just use the SEO you find from the first and maybe second page of results and you will do well!

Thank you soooo much for your content! I know you have a video about taxes but at the beginning did you set apart money to pay the IRS at the end of the year? And if so - what was the percentage?

[@CassiyJohnson]

I'd recommend setting aside 30% of your profit per month in a separate account for taxes!

[@gocatapultar]

What's your opinion on niches on Etsy. I see a lot of successful shops that do numerous niches ( sports, occupations, music, ect) yet some say you should focus on a narrow niche.

[@CassiyJohnson]

I recommend selling in lots of niches on Etsy! Most people on Etsy buy from the search results, not by looking at your individual shop. If you ever start a website on like Shopify, I would recommend having just one main niche. But when first starting, it takes awhile to figure out what niche's sell well and you are good at designing for. So I recommend trying lots of them and then once you find something that works for you, capitalize on it and makes tons more in that niche if that makes sense.

[@gocatapultar]

hi cassiy thanks for sharing all this valuable information! I have a question and hopefully you get to read my comment. Why Ever bee tells me that I have trademarks in my listings I don't know what to do. Etsy has not sent me notifications but I am confused please help

[@CassiyJohnson]

Everbee’s trademark software just warns you of any potential trademark but it won’t always be trademarked for your item type. I’m still learning how to use that part of it right now so I’ll make a tutorial when I figure it all out!

[@mahadmohamed9656]

Hi Cassiy, Great video! I have been watching your videos and it has really helped me join he dots and put the pieces together. When using Everbee and checking demand by looking at the total number sales, is there a minimum number you look for? Is there a point where you might decide not enough sales are being made here so I'll try a different niche?

Hi Cassiy, do you use alura, and sales samurai? Or everbee is good enough?

[@girlluvs2golf]

First off I wanted to thank you for all your videos they have been very helpful. But I do need some help understanding something. If you’re supposed to start designing and get products out 8-12 weeks in advance, how do you know what is selling? For instance, say I’m trying to make designs for St. Patrick’s Day now. I use EverBee and Bestsellers to research, but when researching nothing really comes up, mostly because no one is buying anything that far in advance. In this case, how do I know what’s selling? I’m sure I’m missing something, please help.

[@CassiyJohnson]

I'm so sorry but I don't understand your question? Are you asking if you want a black shirt with a white design on it and a white shirt with a black design on it in the same listing? You can do these in the same listing by selecting under the design on one of the colors "Make a specific design for white" or "Make a specific design for black", then you add the png in black or white etc. Hope that helps!

Hello and thank you for all the information and help you provide on your channel. In one of your videos you mentioned you use monster digital but what I see on printify is that they don’t offer XS? Am I missing something? Do you not offer size XS ?

[@CassiyJohnson]

No I just don't offer XS. It honestly is never an issue. If someone messages me wanting one, then I tell them to order the small with a note that they want an XS, then I switch it to another provider after they order. But this has literally happed twice ever. Most people wear Medium - XL shirts, you won't sell that many XS.

Hi Cassiy, thank you for the great video. I have a confusion using EverBee. I decided to analyze one sucsessfull Etsy shop and saw it's product analytics. On the top there is number what says Average Mo. Sales, and in this case the number was 47. However, I Etsy says this shop has more than 14000 sales and was opened around March 2022, which means their monthly sales are about 1400. Where is the truth? Thank you.

Hello dear Please, I want you to know how much are the monthly Etsy commissions with the new Etsy update

[@CassiyJohnson]

Hi Mark! You would just make 1.5% less off of your total sales than you did in the past. Like in March I sold about 16k in shirts, so if the fees go up 1.5% then I would have made $240 less last month than I did.

[@jennsarinana]

Cassiy, for matching shirts how would you do that listing for POD? Would they order each shirt separately? Thank you for the info, enjoying being a subscriber!

I made a video all about how to sell couples shirts/group listings here it is! kzbin.info/www/bejne/qmKboKaaqNJ9ga8 Or if its just to get them to buy the same shirt more than once, add a photo card or put in your description that lets them know they are sold separate and to just add as many sizes to their cart as they need and then just check out all at once
