His take is so refreshing, no BS, no "make $10k in a day!" or "get rich in a month!" he's genuine and he's speaking about the good and the bad while keeping expectations realistic, i really feel inspired to start my own etsy shop, i've been thinking about it for some time and this just inspires me more!

It depends on what you compare it with, completely okay for a small side project or as a start, but if you are still making more than minimum wage in your country per hour, it would be better to learn a skill or get a job. Not bad for a start though.

Awesome success! As someone with a fairly large POD shop and a tiny digital shop I’ll say that POD is a lot more work due to so much customer service needed. In my digital shop I have about 350 sales and have gotten ONE message from a customer … in the POD shop it’s never ending. Questions, custom requests, “where’s my package?! - it’s been in your mailbox since yesterday…”

You're a huge inspiration Tim, I've been following your progress for a few years now and I'm looking forward to hearing more about your new shop, even if it just ends up being an experiment. The fact that you've replicated your success means you're definitely doing something right. Your numbers for the first 3 months are very impressive, I don't think anyone would say no to an extra few hundred a month. I'm an artist and I've been struggling for years to turn art into my fulltime income. I finally did it through building up my clients and getting some larger jobs, but I realise now that I really want to be financially independent. Making my own products has always been in the back of my mind, but my priorities were elsewhere. I'm sure you hear this a million times a day, but I really struggle with coming up with ideas. You say to find inspiration in the things you know and I know art, but I just can't think of a problem to solve within that space.

I've been making high-quality digital products for 3 years and I'm lucky to make 300-400/mo off both shops combined. I have polished listing images, niches with low competition/high search volume, used the SEO tools....the quality is there, but Etsy isn't showing my stuff to people. If I make one sale, that same product might get 3-4 more sales within the next 24 hours because I get a boost. But then it's like it gets lost in the algorithm again. I see all these videos about people making huge money immediately, but there's a gap here because I've taken all the courses and done all the things and there's still the algorithm to battle.

@@poppopopp-k3j They are lying to get clicks. What makes me sad is all the ads on FB to sell people courses and PLR to sell planners, stickers, etc. Those niches are so saturated, there's just no way unless you are working every minute of the day on products and marketing that you'll be found. Your best bet is actually to have your own site and run FB ads if you can afford 5-20 bucks per day. Etsy changed their algorithm for 2024 and so many sellers are not being seen now. I had 0 sales for May and June and it's only now picking up to $200. So I started my own site and am blasting out content marketing to get organic traffic. Etsy isn't enough alone.

How did you prepare for your online business before launching it? Do you have a separate bank account for each store front? No one ever talks about how they structure their PoD businesses. Do you have everything owned under one company name/LLC or do you split business ownership with the whole Brand company, Holding Company and Trust company model? If you do split them, do you have a different bank for each? What kind of impact does even trying this, have on your taxes?

ngl before clicking this video I expected it to be some kind of “why you shouldn’t try selling digital products” video but I’m glad I was wrong. I want to start my own Etsy shop now. And btw, you have a great narrating voice, these 13 minutes passed very quickly. thank you for this great content!

Thank you for including your perceived optimal pricing and for clarifying you aren't yet doing print on demand. I was curious about that earlier in your video. I tried to create a digital shop several months ago selling tileable textures, but got deflated feeling like I had to sell a set of textures for just a few dollars each in order to make a sale. After several months and after creating about 30+ sets of textures, I made a little over $150 and just kinda lost steam, since it took so long to clean up the files out of midjourney, to digitally create the display images and figure out the seo. The little profit I made just didn't seem worth all the hours of effort I was doing, and despite my efforts, it seemed like a long road ahead to even hit the eventual 1k profit mark. With all that said, your video makes me curious to try again and either revisit my past shop and adjust some things, or simply start a new one. I respect you not wanting to reveal your new shop just yet, but I was wondering if you would be willing to share how many total products you had listed on your shop for sale by the end of those 3 months? The reason being is because I've heard it's hard to make money on a digital only store if you have less than 100 or so products on your store page, and since my products were texture bundles, to create over 100 sets of textures seemed admittedly overwhelming.

@@Metal-Spark Why are you being rude? I thought this was a place where we could learn together and uplift each other. Not tear each other down. But to address your sarcasm, it actually was lots more work than I initially thought. Tileable textures aren't as easy as just asking for a random photo from midjourney and calling it done. I had to photoshop a lot of the textures I generated to correct issues with the patterns and remove odd artifacts so they would match up correctly without any distortion to the imaging in the patterns. Then each texture had to be upscaled in a separate program, and then converted to a DPI of 300 for printing quality. Add to that all the time spent in photoshop creating custom mock ups to feature & display the created patterns, especially since each item sold was actually a bundle collection of textures (often between 6 to 12 individual textures). Then there was time spent creating a custom video for each product display as well, and finally researching SEO to use when publishing each item. In total it was easy to spend 5+ hours on each bundled product. Add that to the fact I also work a full time job and have a wife and kids. It's not as easy as you might assume and if you doubt me, give it a try yourself and let me know how it goes.

@@Old_and_Wise I'm not going to feign nicities to protect the feelings of someone using plagiarism as the foundation of their business. AI doesn't work without stealing mass amounts of data from real artists and you're directly competing with actual artists who are attempting to create businesses within the same sector. Thieves dont deserve common courtesy and I'm not going to pretend otherwise.

@@_My_KZbinNo, I don't think I will. As in my response to OP, AI doesn't work without stealing mass amounts of data from real artists and he's using that plagiarism machine to create a business that competes directly with the artists who've been stolen from working in the same sector. Why exactly is my rudeness considered worse than his plagiarism? I'm not going to be nice to someone who builds their business on theft. And anyone who thinks rudeness is somehow a more important issue than data laundering and plagiarism that directly affects the livelihoods of hardworking people needs to seriously rethink their priorities.

I did all the research, paid for canva pro and made designs, opened an Esty shop with my digital art and even paid for ads on Pinterest. I got NO sales. Its been probably 6 months or so and I feel defeated. How do I get people to actually BUY my digital products? I did get a ton of traction but no bites. That's my biggest issue. I even made amazon KDP journals, even did Pinterest ads for those and nothing! I would love to even get a 1:1 training with you. Ill pay for it lol. I just need help with this. Please let me know if you would be up for that OR if you could just give me any tips/guidance. Thank you

What do you create? Are you getting honest feedback from family and friends? Is your art very "niche" for a unique kind of person? Keep in mind that most people don't buy real art or good art, they buy trendy and cute stuff that many artists might find tacky or beneath them. For example, I'm stuck in between; artists call me a designer and designers call me an artist. Also no sales.
