Super helpful thank you! I just got laid off yet again and am really ready to finally just work for myself. Your success is extremely inspiring.

[@wolfmaan]

This is wonderful to hear! When I saw your comment, it was 8 months old. How has it worked out for you?

[@hpwray]

More great wisdom !!! Thank you for SOOO much great details and real life analysis. Wow. Thank you!

[@carriegooch9410]

Thanks for your videos! My shop has just started taking off in the last month and I’m struggling to keep up. Appreciate any videos on scaling and how to manage. :) Thanks for your content!

[@faraboverubies7]

All of this was spot on! The learning curve is 🥹😮‍💨😮‍💨😵‍💫😵‍💫🫠

Excellent informative video as always, many thanks Vlad for your knowledge.

I appreciate it!

Thanks I have been sailing for almost a year now and I am finally getting sales daily .

[@elenarosado1754]

I posted my first item is a necklace with different color variations, but for some reason the main image that I want for the item does not show up, I only see the image form the color variation but not the main image that i want. Do you know how to fix that?

[@ilkbaharkunduzu1]

We have lots of crochet products that are pure white. Can I use different backgrounds or should I use only white background? It does not make sense to use white background for these white crochet products.

[@piotrkowalski6048]

Maybe a video on how to find something that would resonate with oneself when one does not have the idea how to start but would love to dive in and everything seems sooo saturated and already done ;(

Im about to try out this handmade on amazon thing. Ive gotten zero activity on etsy, and it has been years.

[@mauromoreira3455]

I’m totally sympathetic with this. I have no activity at all

[@TheJavonplayer]

What about the FBA? do you use the fulfillment center? What are their fees break down on amazon handmade?

[@moniquerene1504]

Hi can you do a video on how to set up made to order on your Amazon handmade store

[@simplyfilms3153]

Handmade being in its own category has some issues with my listings. Not a lot of discussion on HM regarding this does anyone else have this issue?

[@wahidIndia]

Hey first of all thank you, I am a star seller on Etsy but yet to start on Amazon handmade, do I need to open 2 different stores for handmade and my branded products

[@destunltddesigns]

Love the info! Wondering how your Amazon handmade shop is faring now with the No Returns policy for all customized items implemented on Feb 15.

[@thetalkshop]

It hasn’t been that bad for me I never do return anyways. I’m a lot more laxed about my refund policy

[@PictureProfit1]

Hi Vlad did you do aggressive Amazon paid advertising to do so well with just two listings? When I search Amazon for handmade dog collars there are loads of competitors, so how did you boost your sales here. Thanks Vlad.

[@thetalkshop]

In the beginning I was a bit more aggressive than I am now.

[@MrFloKop]

Hi there! I was wondering if you could teach us how to write the proper Etsy titles for our listings. I'm having a hard time figuring out how to do that. What I do is that I put keywords that I find on Marmalead and then use them as tags. If the keywords are too big, I split them in two or three tags. Then I add more relevant keywords to use all 13 tags. But it doesn't seem to work well, I don't know what to do. I've been stuck to 45O sales for weeks, now. A little help from a top 1% seller would be appreciated! Thank you for reading! Love your channel!

[@thetalkshop]

Ya for sure I will put that on my list of videos to do

[@ghostbunny3870]

How are ads charged on Amazon Handmade compared to Etsy?

[@mrespinosa]

Thank you. Can you add a video to an Amazon handmade listing?

[@blondetruther]

Am wondering about what Amazon defines as 'handmade'? If I design something and tell artesians how to make it, would I still qualify for Amazon handmade since I wouldn't be making the whole thing myself?

[@amerienglish9635]

Hi there! Is there a chance to schedule a consultation for Etsy/Amazon ?

[@maltan3714]

Hi Vlad, thank you for making the video! Do you find that customers on Amazon cancel their orders more often or do they return the items? Can they return personalized items? Because on Etsy we have the option to not accept returns.

[@thetalkshop]

Yes I will probably have to make more than one video on advertising on Amazon, it’s a bit more complex

[@cangel201]

@@thetalkshop you didn't answer her question though. She was not asking about advertising

[@huntermurphy2635]

On amazon handmade you can create your own return policy as I have personalized items listed right now and it is very clear in my policy that personalized items are not eligible for returns.

[@precyinsd9407]

@@huntermurphy2635 Thank you for taking the time to respond to the other commenter's question. 🙂 I was wondering as well.

[@PgsalesMail]

@@cangel201 I sell on both, and have literally had one return on Etsy because they were disappointed out of thousands of sales. On Amazon, I get them weekly. Frustrating, but its a different customer.

[@sewandembmom12]

I got these compliance e-mails. My items are handmade for dolls. I don't know what to do. I actually moved most everything to Etsy.

[@j-themammothentrepreneur7271]

Hi Vlad, Will you be able to make a video of how to start or create a shop on Amazon Handmade?

[@thetalkshop]

Hmm good question, I’ll have to see how I can pull it off without actually opening up a whole new account

[@PictureProfit1]

Hi Vlad when will you do a Amazon advertising video? I have started on Amazon since I last spoke to you but know I need to advertise on their platform to boost my product in the limelight to get the feedback and traction.

[@thetalkshop]

Yes I will make several videos as it is a big topic

[@PictureProfit1]

@@thetalkshop thank you. Appreciate it. Yes lots of people would love that.

[@yah9489]

Excellent. I'll try to find your advertising video.

[@ankitakejariwal3570]

how does a new shop with new listings compete with existing established shops? You say they can advertise on your page, so how does a new shop even get sales?

[@Armandobuilds]

Hello, thanks for the into. Just wanted to confirm that Amazon collects and remits sales tax on sales like Etsy. Thanks so much

[@elartedecrearideasenlinea1218]

Hi there ! question, which business type should i select in Amazon?... none, individual? Thanks!

[@thetalkshop]

I would obviously recommend that you open up an LLC, you’re going to have a lot of issues with taxes, I will speak to your tax advisor

Hi Vlad can anyone open a Amazon Handmade store or do you need to get approved by Amazon?

[@thetalkshop]

Yes Amazon has to approve you, to make sure that you are a handmade shop

[@cherylmittel4881]

when you started out, how did you find the right manufacturer?

[@thetalkshop]

I did Alibaba.com and I ordered small amounts and every time I would get the order I would ask for some improvement, either price or quality, if they are willing to accommodate then they are the real deal. Also if over time you find better deals, I would let the original manufacturers know, and since you have a history with them, they will want to match that price.

[@thetalkshop]

Also I would buy from Amazon for test items

[@cherylmittel4881]

Great, thank you so much!! I have my own unique designs so I need to find someone to create the fabric and also manufacture the finished product. I have an added step. I wish you wanted to do manufacturing!! 😀😀😃
