How To Make Money Selling Your Woodworking Projects on Etsy

[@Bearded-Viking-WoodWorks]

This is where you’ve been ! Ah hah ! Crazy in depth info here ! 🎉🎉🎉 now I don’t have to do a video cuz boy those comments don’t stop. How do you sell your stuff I can’t sell anything ??? lol 😂 I always just reply like this , what are you doing to sell them ?? Are you adding your own touch to them ?? Are you just posting and wishing yourself luck , it’s not that the items aren’t selling , it’s the fact that you aren’t selling the items . And that’s a fact , how many times a day do you share your item or online shop on your social media sites ?? How many of your friends do you ask to share your items on social media ? Do you market your items ? Are you a squeeky wheel that needs greasing ??? Are you really putting in an effort to sell your items ? Are you using tags and keywords ? Are you taking the best photos and video staging your items ? Ask yourself these questions and it should all make sense . Sorry for the paragraph

[@jascogoods]

Hahaha I love the comments escaping from the homies!! I get the same questions, especially on the video I made about Etsy. So I figured I would make one big video to cover all the questions so I can just say here watch this video!

[@ScottBionicBlasters]

Thank you for such Expert Advice.!!! I had to say that. Not just because you said you're not, but mostly because you said you weren't. 😎 Anyways, I just wanted to thank you for taking the time outta your busy schedule to keep doing videos, encouraging others to make stuff, and trying stuff that they're not sure they can do. I'm sure you've influenced people to take up a hobby they were more than a little afraid to. I'm 58yrs old. When I was 6yrs old, I helped my Grand Father make a step stool, that he placed in the bathroom so that my younger cousins could use the bathroom sink more easily.

[@quincyh9745]

I’d love to see more content on how to start and sustain a woodworking business

[@jascogoods]

ok , I will add some in my videos from time to time.

[@digismurf]

My son was just telling me I should start selling my woodworking on Etsy, minutes ago, over a 30 min discussion he was making the case for it, then I look on my tablet and see this video. 😮 Thank you!

[@amistry605]

Best of luck to you 🙏🙏🙏

[@jascogoods]

That's awesome, It must be a sign!! I hope the video helps. Please let me know how it goes.

[@troysgarage]

That’s because Google is always listening! 😅

[@WedoweeHandyman]

I have to also give you kudos on how well you thought out the photos and how potential customers that land on your listing can easily find your other options and all the details at a glance!!

[@jascogoods]

Thank you brother, i can't take full credit, I learned it all from other people on youtube. 😂

[@WedoweeHandyman]

[@kevinrose8568]

[@jascogoods]

No problem, I hope you find some value in it. Please let me know how it goes for you.

[@jascogoods]

No problem brother, I wish you the best of luck! I just subscribed to your channel, you'll have to let me know how you do.

[@2475Customs]

@@jascogoods I sure will, thanks for the support!!!

[@sandraclark8413]

Thank you thinking about trying

[@jascogoods]

[@jeremyclaybaugh8790]

Great info. I’m retiring soon and I plan to start selling my goods for the first time.

[@jascogoods]

Thank you, good luck ,I wish you the best!!

[@frankhomen2632]

That was a very helpful video and very good content also thank you for putting out there for us beginners wood workers

[@jascogoods]

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. I hope it helps you make some dough!

[@annwithoutane9432]

I use the free priority boxes and just wrap them in brown wrapping paper to ship however I want. You can still use those free boxes without using the shipping method on the post office boxes. I always do that especially with those smaller priority boxes they have, just wrap them and ship them with a cheaper rate.

[@jascogoods]

That is really smart!! Where were you when i was buying all them boxes! 😂😂😂 thank you for the advice, I am sure it will help others.

[@illiniwood]

You'll get away with this until you don't. When you get caught, your customer won't be getting their product. You'll also be red flagged for violation of their shipping policy. Every time you ship, it will be sorted for inspection. Your customer will be lucky to get their paid product in the same month. You may not be caught for years, but when you do, you'll wish you hadn't. P.S....UPS works in tandem with USPS. What you're doing isn't worth the risk.

[@brianconway4172]

You’re the best thank you

[@jascogoods]

thank you, I appreciate it.

[@aimeechas]

omg new car smell - I freaking love this channel!

[@brianhuntley4072]

[@jascogoods]

No problem.

[@RayandSandysWoodworking]

great informational video, thank you for taking the time to do it! answered a lot of questions .

[@jascogoods]

You're welcome! I'm glad it was helpful.

[@1lows154u2c]

Love your funny videos brother . Awesome content . I have made a few things and tried selling on Etsy with no success . Going to give your advice a shot and see what happens . Thank you

[@jascogoods]

Thank you brother, I appreciate the encouragement. I wish you the best of luck. Let me know how it goes.

[@XxKevin79xX]

I’ve been told many times I should sell my stuff on Etsy. Thank you for this video it has been very informative.

[@jascogoods]

I'm glad it helped! let me know how it goes when you start.

[@devinteske]

If I understand you correctly, this is America, the land of competition, and as-such, if someone is making it on Etsy and you can make the same thing they are making, but better, have at-it and take some of their customers. Sounds simple enough. After all, it’s going to cause them to up their game, and everyone wins, including the customers.

[@jascogoods]

Yes that was well said. I don't think you should copy anyone exactly but in reality how many items on etsy are original thoughts? Most of it is copied from one place or another. But just like in the real world if you see something that you could make better that people like then go for it. Thank you for the comment.

[@donutman3089]

Excellent info so far, will have to finish it tomorrow. Of the items I have sold on Etsy so far, shipping is what made me buy that first bottle of lotion from ya. $9 for a small flat rate box???

[@researchandbuild1751]

Use usps ground advantage bro. It's pretty affordable. Just make your own box or get cheap boxes.

[@jascogoods]

Thank you, I hope it helps.

[@jascogoods]

😂😂😂

[@AIWritingEdgeEarnwithExper-k7e]

Love the humor

[@danderth]

you're great, I love you, man! I'm gonna order something from you just to get a booger.

[@jascogoods]

Thanks, man! I appreciate the support, I'm still working on the booger production. 😂😂😂

[@jenharris6970]

Thank you! This is very helpful. You provided a great starting place and info on stuff i need to know, but didn't think about. Like paying that uncle sam guy, seeing if my state requires a business license. One question. Does etsy take their part out of what they pay you, or do you go in and pay them separately?

[@jascogoods]

Thank you for the comment. I am glad the information was helpful. Yes etsy takes their part out before they pay you. But shipping comes out of your money after if you ship the item after you get paid.

[@COLTUL_RUSTIC]

Where the heck did you find that book???😂😂😂😂😂. Anyway I enjoy everytime to watch your videos.

[@seanpaula8924]

Hes back!!

[@jascogoods]

I am!! I had a busy December but I'm gonna try to put out videos more regularly!

[@kimberwest7304]

Although this was/is extremely informative… GET BACK TO MAKIN’ SAWDUST! 😂😂😂💙

[@jascogoods]

😂😂😂 I agree, I just had to put this out to answer all the questions I get on this topic so I don't have to keep answering the same questions over and over.

[@donniewakemup8729]

Thanks for the info. I've been on the fence about whether or not I should sell on ETSY for a while now. My big hang-up is whether or not I want to deal with packing and shipping a bunch of stuff. Then again, I've also been considering starting a pooper scooper business cuz those guys make good money for such a silly job. 🤣 Basically, I just want to supplement my income by about $30-50k per year and I'm trying to decide the best way to do it. Decisions decisions......

[@jascogoods]

The pooper scooper business sounds like a lot less crap to deal with!! 😂😂😂 I guess its whatever you enjoy more. I'm guessing its woodworking unless you have a thing for poo!! You could do both and dry the poo out and sell it on etsy as facilized Dino doo doo!!!😂 you would be an entre-manure!!!😂

[@dariusiam4all]

I bought boxes in bulk from Uline. I did not compare prices with Amazon.

[@jascogoods]

Yea i got them from Uline a few times too because they are cheaper than amazon and have more of a selection. The problem I had was they make you pay a fortune for overnight shipping and it ended up being cheaper to look on amazon.

[@jjpiatek3294]

When you ship free domestic does that include Hawaii and Alaska? That could get expensive, right?

[@dropndeal]

You can include free shipping to AK, HI, PR, GU, and other US territories as long as the packages can go air freight. This means the US Postal Service only (no FedEx / UPS ground packages). For instance, USPS Ground Advantage (formally first class mail), and any USPS Priority provided packaging. Now, the zone prices may go up, but not that much. Just be absolutely certain to place comments in your listings advising offshore customers to contact you for a shipping quote BEFORE purchasing! I have cancelled / refunded customer orders on both Etsy and eBay for this very reason.

[@jascogoods]

thank you for the great reply! I didn't even know that myself.

[@jascogoods]

What he said!😂

[@researchandbuild1751]

I thought you could just set the quantity to say 1 but then your could turn on auto listing renewal.

[@jascogoods]

they have an auto renewal but I don't think they have an auto quantity. Unless its new, I could be wrong it happened one time in 97.

[@seanpaula8924]

Hes back!

[@jascogoods]

I am!! I had a busy December but I'm gonna try to put out videos more regularly!

[@halo218813]

You sir are an angel sent from heaven......you're doing the Lords work here ❤

[@ubwoodman915]

I know it costs around 20 a month but have you heard of Everbee?

[@devinteske]

22:35 “One way to do that is to use this free extension called EverBee” (spends the next 3 minutes talking about EverBee)

[@jascogoods]

I have, I actually show it in the video. I just used the free version.

[@CorbyQ]

I dont know boxsizes. I was waiting for you to say. "Im not a boxologist"

[@jascogoods]

😂😂😂 Now I wish I would have !! 😂 missed opportunity!

[@markgaither5635]

Ok I really appreciate and enjoy your videos but when I watch a lot of these videos and I try to do what its in the video its always different for me. For example, when I go to Etsy and click on FILTERS it doesnt look like yours. Nowhere on my filters does it show best sellers or star sellers. Its just like categories for price, room and featured. Many times when I go to try something, what I see is completely different and thats very frustrating. Not just your videos, others too

[@jascogoods]

I didn't know that, thanks for bringing it to my attention. Are you using a phone or your desktop?

[@rickneiheiser5091]

Millionaire guy is Ryan from Cuttin it close

[@jascogoods]

Thank you, I couldn't remember where I saw him.

[@paullambert1485]

Question if you're using a laser is that considered hand made or maybe people don't care 😮

[@jascogoods]

No thats still considered hand made. They are actually really loose with the term on etsy! 😂

[@Kat-dx4ui]

Great video. Thank you! Would love to see a video (just a short one - or an in depth one) on how you utilize Pinterest. I don't understand Pinterest boards and such for selling items. >

[@blobnumber2]

So how many sales do you think you would get without a KZbin channel driving traffic to your etsy store..?

[@donniewakemup8729]

Btw..... I'm a little upset that there wasn't a single fart noise in this video! 🤣🤣🤣

[@jascogoods]

😂😂😂 Maybe i am maturing... nahhh!!! 😂

[@paul.mcguinness6075]

Looks like your Etsy Shop is POD T-shirts. No woodworking items anymore? Hmm.

[@jascogoods]

Yea I started focusing on making KZbin videos because I enjoy that more. I get to make a lot of different things then making the same items day in and day out.

[@blobnumber2]

His income is KZbin get rich quick videos not woodworking lol

[@seanpaula8924]

Do you carry any kind of liability? Say if a customers booger eating rugrat, thinks one of your mountains is a klondike bar and chokes on it?

[@deeclutter1123]

That’s what insurance is for. Make sure you CYA.

[@jascogoods]

I don't but that's a good idea!! at least to add a warning label!!

[@johnrokss8971]

Buy BITCOIN It's easier LMAO

[@handyman711]

Watched several of your other videos, telling you with much respect, if you’re tired of being a fat body, I’ve been there, check out the carnivore diet! Do the research for yourself. Look up Homestead How! And a couple of Dr.’s Shawn Baker, Ken Berry!

[@WedoweeHandyman]

I have to also give you kudos on how well you thought out the photos and how potential customers that land on your listing can easily find your other options and all the details at a glance!!

[@jascogoods]

Thank you
