How To Get Your First 100 Sales On Etsy in 2023

[@treasurejade7995]

After I watched your video, I got my first 100 sales on Etsy. Thank you so much for sharing helpful information. You are amazing!❤

[@elliehoke9580]

You're such an underrated youtuber, stay consistent and you'll make it. Can't believe you have less than 1k. Remember me when you're famous.

[@alekSheffy]

Thank you for the kind words 🙏 Means a ton!

[@goilo888]

Less than 1K? He has almost 40K subscribers.

[@Invisibletoday]

@@goilo888 yeah I was thinking the same

[@elliehoke9580]

@@goilo888 At the time I wrote that (around a month ago) He had about 900 subscribers! He's grown unbelievably, and rightfully so.

[@goilo888]

@@elliehoke9580 Yeah, wow, indeed.

[@beverlytheartist425]

Wow...Alek, you said the most powerful thing when you said basically it's a mindset. How the lack of sales can sap your spirit and one must solider through that. That is the real nuts and bolts of every endeavor in life. Great advice.

[@alekSheffy]

Absolutely! It can be super hard but you'll never get to the rewards if you don't push through.

[@JKPlaysgaming]

Your Challenge from 0 to 100K' series not only brings clarity to a print-on-demand journey but also rekindled my confidence in starting mine with Etsy, after almost walking away - your guidance is a game-changer!

[@timdanyo898]

As an artist your videos are getting me stoked to try this. I like your insight into the right mindset. Please do some mindset focused videos. It’s the key to being successful! Overcoming fear, obstacles, setbacks, how to see yourself, etc. thanks!

[@alekSheffy]

That's a great idea! I'll start working on these

[@infowazz]

Me too brother! Starting is the hardest but once you learn the flow it gets easier. Society6 is more fun to work with i think but Etsy gets way more business. I'm doing 3 stores. One for oil landscape paintings, one for graphic design stuff (humor, motivational) and one for vintage public domain type images. If you do multiple sites you obviously increase your odds. If u have any problems you can alwayw find help on youtube. Like how to get your first 100 sales. Good luck!

[@AIChatAdvisor]

Hey Tim, read "Becoming Supernatural" by Joe Dispenza and you will master all of the above! It changed my life!!

[@timdanyo898]

@@AIChatAdvisor Thanks for the recommendation. I realize the power of mindset is spiritual. In fact, as far as super natural beings go.. we all are eternal beings and thus supernatural. As a Christian, I am in-dwelt with the Holy Spirit. The very presence of God. Knowing this has been a massive shift in my life. It caries into business, but applying a higher purpose to business puts power into it. Knowing that building a business is a part of my service to the Lord and not to myself. I am very weary of self help books that seek to put God's created in the place of the Creator.

[@AIChatAdvisor]

@@timdanyo898 Dr. Joe Dispenza, a remarkable individual, embraces his Christian faith with love and reverence. His teachings do not seek to replace the Creator with His creation; rather, he guides people on a path of manifesting their dreams through love and uplifting thoughts. Driven by scientific principles, his approach has touched the lives of countless individuals from diverse backgrounds. He has empowered them to overcome health challenges, navigate troubled relationships, and attract abundance into their lives. Moreover, he beautifully imparts the understanding that each and every person is deserving of the blessings they aspire to receive. Dr. Joe Dispenza's work is a testament to his caring nature and his unwavering belief in the potential for growth and fulfillment within all of us.

[@martyparsons9419]

A "customer mentality" means that you need to step into the customer journey on your site and over your products. This means, you need to become highly focussed on the customer experience with your business and more importantly, with your product and service. Repeat sales, engagement, as well as cross- and upsells are an attestation to this fact. Thanks for your great content, Alek, sold on your content already, so subscribed!

[@jenw1116]

Excellent video. So many people post "first 100 sales" videos and this is by far the best. At least 20 listings, use good keywords, use good images and BE CONSISTENT

[@audreygeorge9003]

Your advice is so spot-on! New sub here. Thanks for the great content and encouragement! I started my second Etsy shop in mid-October (first is all digital, second is POD) and am just shy of 70 sales. Had to take a couple of weeks off due to young kids with viral illnesses but slowly getting back into it to hopefully hit that 100 mark soon!

[@alekSheffy]

Thanks, Audrey! You got this, that sound rough but great job pushing through the hard times! If you can do it when it's hard, you can do it whenever :)

[@happymothers343]

Thanks for goog advise I have a store on etsy its POD store with no traffic I am losing hope and near to close it. Please help me in how to find niche and seo 🙏 Please make vedios on it.

[@adams3552]

Theres so many of these types of videos. Yours are so in depth and actually show step by step how to do things. I would've gave up on trying to use midjourney if it wasnt for your videos. Thank you man

“Treat every single customer like they’re your first one” 👏🏾

[@yohanlovesjackie]

Alek, Just wanted to say thanks for these amazing and encouraging KZbin lessons on E-commerce. Your May 7th 2020 comment caught me. As I have decided to fully be committed on E-commerce September 24th, 2023 after one of the hardest years of my life and my day time job taking me away form the things I love the most, my family. I was watching one of your videos and learning intensely by the pool side while my kids played! I plan to apply everything you teach into launching a new chapter of my life. Thanks again.

[@MariskavanBrederode]

Came across this comment, and just had to reply. How are you and your business doing now? Greets, Mariska

[@calmingmusicmeditation7384]

You are simply the BEST i spend 3 years on youtube try to understand exactly what to do nobody gives everything. Now i will only follow your instructions thank you so much. 🥰🥰🥰

[@alekSheffy]

Great to hear!

[@Back_To_Basics]

I just crossed the halfway mark at 51 sales yesterday. Will continue to grind till I get to 100. I’m really curious what will happen to my shop once I get there. Thank you for sharing this video! 🙏🏻

[@alekSheffy]

Great work! Keep it up!!

[@helenmarie01]

This is great, I've had a few sales, but zero reviews on Etsy, but I got 2 reviews on Ebay. I feel that's because eBay encourages reviews more than Etsy does. I think that's a great idea to send them coupons. Also, I tried running ads for a little over 2 weeks and nothing came of it at all. I had all these views and clicks from the ads, but no sales. I stopped running the ads and kept putting up listings, and I started getting sales anyway. Thanks for all the great advice!

[@tiffanybell303]

I only found you recently and I have been on KZbin watching Etsy videos for years. I love your vide and your info is so concise. I am binge watching now

[@unitykaddour]

I’m almost 6 weeks in and only have 8 sales. I’m seriously losing motivation.. your videos actually make me give it a go for one more day and see where I am. So, thank you very much. And keep the content coming.

[@davisxd4745]

atlest something you have a chance

[@Invisibletoday]

In the grand scheme of things 6 weeks is still kind of new, think long term and don’t give up

[@jaythatskywalker]

Keeping me motivated! Finally managed to get new social accounts, without ban, etsy login was not working the past 3 days, finaly working. Working in the cbd business really hurt my social standing it seems. wish me luck it stays like this.

[@alekSheffy]

Wishing you the best of luck!

[@boten9672]

The amount of value you give in every video is unbelievable i never subbed so fast

[@shavonwalker2550]

This has to be the most useful video on selling on Etsy that I've ever seen. A lot of sellers have told me not to use the mock-ups because then, my work won't stand out. But I know that scrolling through Etsy, I don't want to buy something that looks like it's amaturish, and my personal photos, as good as they are, aren't going to give that Etsy vibe. I also know now that I need to add more items to my store, use all of my keywords, and Get my off Etsy buyers to leave me some reviews. Thanks for this, I'm looking forward to my first hundred sales!

[@genenecianciulli3675]

What a great video! I want to start a shop because why not! What is your advice for pictures of your product when you don’t have it!!? So many things to know! Thanks for sharing your hard earned wisdom, It’s so generous of you!

[@numberoneappgames]

Loved this video! It was great and straight to the point! :)

[@TommySpero]

Another great video. I just found you and have been watching the 0 to 100k series, which really helped me in launching my second Etsy shop this week, which I was planning on but you gave me some specifics to go by. This new shop launched yesterday and is POD only featuring my original design work, but for a broader audience. My main shop is based on my design and artwork and I make everything myself. Approaching 400 sales heading into my second year. I am going to use some of what I am learning now to modify my keywords and tweak that shop as well. Much appreciated.

[@palakush7650]

How did it go?

[@nbgvfcmnbh6226]

Looove your channel so far. The one showing North Prints and Hearts In Colors etsy stores was awesome. Digital downloads is so popular. I had no idea!!!! Once again you nailed it on this one too. Thx so much! Printify could be better to use but i'm still grateful for their service. Nice to see you mention Crazy Dog. They are my role model. I love brainstorming idea like they have.

I will also be promoting your videos. Thanks

Hi Alex, i never comment on videso but this is the 3rd video of yours that ive watched today after just finding you and im feeling really inspired and ready to start. Thanks for taking the time to share your experiences and knowledge. 😊 Its exactly what i needed to see this week!

[@davidmendes2441]

for the yt algorithm. Btw one thing I've seen really work in term of youtube, is just telling people what to write in the comments like a "the comment of the week is: Organic traffic is the shit!". People will just write that out in order to help you out / as a thank you for your content. Takes away the having to think about what to write

[@AvaLynne]

Can you do a video on the analytics of your established store and how long it took to get consistent sales after you first started it?

[@alekSheffy]

Yes! I'm planning on it. What analytics in particular would be helpful in this style video?

[@AvaLynne]

@@alekSheffy It seems like so many videos I see mention really taking off after the three month mark. I would like to see visits and sales in the first three months compared to months following, and any significant yearly trends with stories behind peaks or dips

[@brandonl2175]

How did you find a successful niche for your shop that brought in 7 figures? Love the way you presented this info, you condensed a lot of research into one cohesive and applicable video :)

[@alekSheffy]

Great question! Since Etsy is a marketplace, I don't create products for just one niche! That's the beauty of it. You can make (t-shirts for example) in any niche you want, and they could all sell! It's actually important that you don't only make once "niche". Make products for all kinds of people :)

[@brandonl2175]

@@alekSheffy thanks for the answer! Definitely sounds like the more designs you post, the better!

Where did you get your knowledge from man cuz u clearly know ur stuff. Where can i really learn how to make winning products on stores such as etsy? So much competition

I've been working at this for a long time! The competition seems bad until you realize they actually don't try that hard. Just post listings and you'll get sales (just use good Images, Keywords, and customer service!)

Hey Alek, really loving the content. I'm in the process of going through and getting all my designs ready at the moment. I'll probably have a couple of hundred variations ready to go by the end of the day.

I have been doing this for couple years now and I always hit the point, where I feel stuck. I feel like there isn't much growth or progress, in despite me putting so much time and effort into it and my sales are bit worse then same period last year. I have tried working with the mentality of as if I am already sucessful and it always led me to burn out after putting so much effort and no results. :( I feel so stuck

I’m going to open a shop next week, question: As far as giving a discount to a returning customer , how do you know they bought from you before? Another how do you know which discount you gave to who? TIA🤜🤛

[@YesandNoPlease]

How long would you suggest planning your shop and what to put on your listings ? I feel like I want to plan so much but it’s putting me off actually starting the shop

[@YesandNoPlease]

Putting me off in terms of not getting round to starting it straightaway

[@alekSheffy]

Post a listing every single day regardless of how bad it is. Get better each day. I promise if you do that, you'll be more successful in a month than you are today without starting at all.

[@alekSheffy]

You also don't know what you want / like. Your vision and ideas will grow as you do by learning the platform.

[@happybunny1329]

You don't need to make your shop live to customers immediately. So you can spend some time practising creating listings, doing photography, writing descriptions, identifying keywords etc, before a customer ever sees one of your products. This way you can learn the basics in a practical way, while improving all the time. Often I find I have to actually start something to understand what exactly I need to learn. So the practical learning process is actually part of the planning process, not separate to it. Also, it really increases my motivation and enthusiasm when I start to put something into action. You will probably find after several weeks of learning about listings, you will have the confidence to make everything live and hey presto, you've got a shop. :)

[@karenharjo3402]

How do you handle a negative review or complaint on something shipped by Printify? I’d like a video just on customer support side and how it works between Etsy and Printify. Examples would be nice to see. Thank you!
