THIS IS THE CONTENT I AM HERE FOR👏🏾👏🏾🤩 You really helped me with my plan on starting my Etsy

Yassss! Please post it so we can check it out once it’s open!

[@MeditativeMuse5860]

I’m a researcher at heart. This is probably the 208th video I’ve watched on Etsy shops ALONE! Not building websites, choosing products, small business start ups...just Etsy. And you have added value only 9 minutes in. Thank you👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@shadowsilverlight1651]

if you are starting a business, realize that using etsy is ok for supplemental sells, but not rely on them for all sells, because what happens if something happens to etsy? another thing to think about with etsy, is do you want to rely on them to pay for certain of your business expenses, because they are in essence, a business partner if they are hosting your listing of your items. they are paying the bandwidth for each person viewing your page. just like you have to pay for internet to watch youtube or use socmedia. if you do your own website and not use etsy, you will be paying the business costs monthly associated with running a business online. so you have to ask yourself, do you want your business to be solely yours and pay all your business expenses and you have full control over every aspect, or do you want to have a business partner like etsy, who is paying to host your business site on their platform and making changes to policies whenever they choose whether you agree or not. another thing, you could use etsy to start your business and get some traffic and then transition your business over to your own site after you have success on etsy. good thing with etsy is you can sever the relationship whenever you choose, if they make a change you dont agree with or come up with new policy. sorry for the novel, but i wanted to try and show valid info. i did podcasting im the early days of it, and i paid all the expenses incurred from having the podcast.

I would say in the crafting community and others too that you do have favourite shops that you check regularly and do repeat business with. Good product + good service = repeat customers

[@audhdcreativity5899]

thank you for the video and worksheets ♡ starting NOW!

[@barbsmith500]

This is exactly what I was looking for. Not a 20 something girl getting into selling lashes or fake nails from her bedroom at her parents’ house. You are someone who has put some thinking into this video and your intellect and experience is appreciated. And you are kindly sharing this information to empower other women. I am serious about my business and it’s potential. Thanks for your information.

[@EverySingleDollar]

Haha! I didn't even know selling those two things were a thing on Etsy. I'm glad you found it helpful. Let me know if you have any questions.

Amazing content. Subscribed. I wish you would talk about Etsy/small business matters more though 🙂

[@EverySingleDollar]

Great suggestion! I'm definitely going to try to do more business related stuff from now on. Talking about my personal finances over and over can get depressing.

I know this is an older video, but just wanted to give you a heads up in case you see this, I tried following your Azlo link, I guess they closed their business in 2021. IDK, you could have had a signup potentially, just thought I'd give you a heads up so maybe you can update the info or make a new version of the video.

[@FickleFickell]

This is amazing :) Thanks for putting this together. Much appreciated

[@EverySingleDollar]

I hope it helps! Thanks for watching!

[@amilasrsly]

Has the link to the worksheet stopped working? 😔

[@dreagianella2925]

Is it true on edge me I seen another video and I seen a couple videos where they say that they can just stop your shop at any moment or is it not true in there is a reason behind that?

[@dreagianella2925]

And also say you start selling on Etsy and business starts going really well for you what would you recommend for not have to close the shop and are you allowed to stretch out your time limit on when the product will be available and shipped

[@darlalathan6143]

Well, that's encouraging!

[@rahuldravid8723]

Amazing video....can you please tell me if the final price of my product is 15 and i sell it for 20 including shipping and 20 is my selling price. How much will Etsy charge me on 20.

[@trinapullum3986]

So glad I found your videos. Helped me so much. I've been intimidated for years by the whole process. I'm retired now and need to go for it. Been doing craft shows for years and people love my handmade girl's clothes. I now have a 6 needle embroidery machine. I've done pillows, wreaths, blankets, bibs, bummies, leggings, (really love the last 2), birthday shirts and tutus, headbands, bags, etc. My target would be mothers. I just don't know what my niche should be. I love to make so many things. Thinking of "Tennessee Tot and Mom" to have something for both of them. Any suggestions please.

[@naturegirl2110]

What are bummies? I like the name Mom and Tots. I think that's a great store name whether physical or online.

[@naafiahussainy9407]

Hi, I want to start business, I don't know where to start because idea of doing three things. So, should I do three things to start my business or just one niche stat from there. Is Etsy really worth it?

[@julsatmidnight]

I am completely undecided and stumped on my seller name. Where can I go for help??

[@naturegirl2110]

I can help you. What products do you sell?

[@anitabeanland8149]

Hi. I’ve been procrastinating about selling my up-cycled jewellery for ages but they are ‘one off’ designs. Would this be a problem with shop ‘visibility’ /advertising for selling on Etsy. Hope my question makes sense.

[@EverySingleDollar]

Absolutely not! There are a ton of vintage shops on etsy that sell one off pieces. Let us know your shop name as soon as it's live. Good luck!

[@anitabeanland8149]

@@EverySingleDollar Thanks Sharon. I've downloaded your pdf, so will be reading this with interest. Though I still have the gitters!!

[@alimatusman9819]

Hi ,please can an etsy shop profile be different from the payment account details . Because I want to open an etsy shop with my friend who's in the US and I am in Nigeria . And we want to use her US details . Is this okay?

[@annagierlik7835]

I also subscribed:) Great content! I am interested in this wooden puzzle. Do you know maybe which print-on-demand company has such items in their offer?

[@EverySingleDollar]

I'm not sure if a print on demand company would offer the puzzles. that's an area I'm not that familiar with.

[@liveoffthewallco]

How long should somebody stay on etsy if they are first starting out before moving to their own website? Because i dont know how to market my own stuff 100% if i just had my own website first.

[@EverySingleDollar]

That depends. Do you have a following on social media. If you have a following I would just sell there. Selling on my website only costs me 3.5% in credit card fees but other platforms are well over 10%. BUT I get a ton of traffic on platforms like etsy and ebay. Do you have an email list? I'd start building one so you can market directly. Sorry, that was a long response.

[@becks9922]

This is a great video, thanks for sharing your tips! I’ve really been debating starting an Etsy shop for hand embroidered items - it’s a high demand area but it’s also super saturated! So I can’t decide if it’s worth it or not; my items would have a specific theme but it’s still a daunting idea.....any thoughts/tips on entering a seemingly saturated market with some success?

[@EverySingleDollar]

So, I did a quick search for you and my advice is to niche down and specialize in a specific type of hand embroidered item, like sweatshirts. Sweatshirts don't have a ton of competition and it has about 390 searches on google last month. Good luck and I absolutely support you starting a shop. Leave a link to it in the comments so we can all support you!

@@EverySingleDollar thank you!!

[@vicd8346]

@@EverySingleDollar Wow you're amazing!

[@maggieskbowler]

I see people showing the process of making their items and it makes me think, “I could do that.” Does this work against you? Like people could see how to do it themselves? Or it that only a problem with crafters, lol?

[@EverySingleDollar]

I don't think so. In the end we're all a member of the Etsy community and short of 100% copying someone's product, we try to do what we can to help each other. I'm in a facebook group with 35,000 makers and everyone is always willing to answer any question I may have. There are hundreds of people on Etsy selling stickers, but every sticker set has its own twist.

[@the23rdbryan]

I make my own unique nail polish colors that i put in small skull shaped bottles and wrap as a gift bag each containing 3 random colors. I'm old school goth and I've been told by many people I should be selling these on Etsy. After watching this and several vids I'm now terrified and completely lost. Your vid is BY FAR the least intimidating. I guess I love the creative part but the selling process is above me. I'm not trying to "get rich quick" or expecting huge financial gain. I just love my product and enjoy sharing it but a few extra bucks wouldn't hurt. Am I aiming too high with attempting to use Etsy ?

[@ellaxu8734]

Where is your shop?

I no longer have my website, but I'm building out my etsy shop once again. It's called Perfectly Pinned on Etsy.

Polotics and sales should never go together unless its your only focus.

[@beyou7627]

I'm afraid you are contradicting yourself, you said you already have your online shop and selling with social media but u wanna use Etsy bcos of the traffic. All good but then why would you advertise for Etsy in FB market? if u have to pay for ads then use your own website and bring the traffic to ur own website, not on Etsy.

[@EverySingleDollar]

I should have been more clear. I owned a brick and mortar business and all of my website traffic was from my local community. It’s a very limited audience and my website isn’t built for e-commerce like a Shopify store.
