[@suchetamukherjee5548]

Hey Heather could you please make tutorial on bundle listing . Really this is something different no one talk about. Please dear

[@CindySimpson-h8o]

[@chickane5586]

[@angelafraser2147]

Hi, I agree how do I bundle ? I have never seen this and would love to try. I love all you do and share. Thank you so much!

[@itsheatherstudio]

Thanks for watching! ❤ I have this in queue to film and upload in the next month as a tutorial from all the requests.

I’ve been watching you for a while and always appreciate your content. I have to say you’re a breathe of fresh air. Love how you don’t take yourself too seriously and leave in the bloopers. It feels really genuine. It’s nice to see a KZbinr not over edit ❤

[@itsheatherstudio]

Aww, thank you for taking the time to write this kind comment and thanks for supporting my content here! ❤

I've been watching you for the past month. And you are my absolute favorite go-to for Etsy anything. I opened my shop in the middle of July and I only have 110 listings. So far. I'm working on my tags to hopefully drive more people to my listings. I've not been very successful. In fact I've not had one sell . At this point I'm very discouraged and feel like a failure. I don't know what to do

[@baltimoremilk2541]

Are your items personalized? Do you have ads turned on?

[@itsheatherstudio]

Thanks for watching and the kind words here! The summer is the slowest months for any shops so I would not get discouraged- the time you began just typically is slower. I would not feel like a failure by any means and it usually takes 3 to 6 months to see some organic traction so hang in there and keep listing as we go further into the holiday season! It took my shop until I got to over 200 listings to find the niches & design styles that began picking up traction on Etsy. I don't say this to encourage quantity over quality but just to say that it took time for me to get into my own 'groove' so-to-speak and the more I listed, the better I got at crafting a really high converting listing and finding new niches/products/designs that sold for myself. In the first few months, I like to call this your 'trial and error' stage because you are testing things to see what sells and what doesn't. A lot of us don't have a background in marketing or product creation(I definitely didn't), so give yourself some credit that you are learning a whole set of new skills and learning still! All this to say, hang in there and keep going!

@@baltimoremilk2541 I have I had to turned on but my items are not personalized.

[@SugarsMom]

Thank you so much for the encouraging words. I'll just keep watching and keep at it. And it means a lot to me that you responded

You guys should discuss the new algorithm changes the CEO talked about recently, where it's less about SEO and more about giving everyone a chance and showing people related things instead do the direct search. Pretty important

[@chibuzonwachuku5624]

Heather, have you left a link for the video on the Everbee email tutorial? The email system has been updated. I can't find any tutorial showing the same system as the current one.

How do you do bundles? Must be the same Printify provider right?

[@itsheatherstudio]

For bundles it's a manual process like personalization. You would want to make your SKU black or name it such as 'bundle' so that the order isn't automated with your POD company. Then when the order comes through, you will add the additional product and send to production. Hoping this helps! :)

[@citybloomstreasures]

@@itsheatherstudio thanks a lot, but they must be same provider right? Otherwise go in deferent parcels are differents locations....Am I right?

[@NE.Academy]

That’s what I was going to ask… if I use swiftpod for tshirts and then another for a mug, would it show up two different times

[@barbra429]

I have been trying to find an answer to this question. I am selling magnetic bookmarks and want to take a picture of the bookmark on a page in a book such as a novel or anything with print. The problem is I'm wondering if that is a copyright issue, and if so, is there any work around or suggestions anyone might have. The bookmark looks really good on a book page. I don't know what to do :(

[@rakheeharidas7720]

Are you seeing Etsy ups and downs in sales I was getting consistent sales and fur the past couple of months it's been weird, 0 sales for a few days and then 6-7 sales fur 2 days

[@SheHer232]

Do you have to have Etsy Ad to drive traffic?

[@itsheatherstudio]

You do not need to have it to see sales on Etsy. Etsy ads helps boost your shop traffic though and can help your shop grow faster than without traffic but you do not need to pay for ads. A lot of sellers use social media or just consistently listing with good SEO to see traffic over time. Thanks for watching! ❤

Turn my shop into a business ? Turn Etsy into the Selling Venue it's supposed to be. Get outta my hair. I have a business to run.
