[@ValeriePate-x9u]

Lyneida mentioned it's easy to forget to set daily sales up every day. I have a great tip though, you can batch this and set each daily sale up in advance so they run automatically everyday and you don't forget. When you go to the page to set up your sale use the calendar and select the start date and then select the same day as the end date and it creates a sale for just that day (I usually use the date as the sale name to keep it simple like 061423) but the trick is you can repeat this for every day in the future. So at the end of the month I go in and set up a daily sale for every day of the next month so it's already set and I don't have to remember to do it every day.

I am sorry to hear about the copy cats Lyneida. They went after my group listings too. They attempted to recreate my designs, copied all of my phrases verbatim and used all my SEO. This coupled with a more established shop, with prices a POD seller cannot complete with - - - even with break even pricing, my sales went poof overnight. I am glad that you addressed the impact this has had to your shop. I think that people are chasing down the best seller tags and forget these tactics hurt people. I am also glad that Shawna brought up that this is the nature of the business. I haven't yet figured out how to recover from this loss in sales, but I know that when I do, my business will be stronger.

​Shawna you're amazing! I love this interview as it's realistic and shows effort, tips, and the rollercoaster ride it can be for a new shop! I'm a 5 month old shop on my way to 200 sales! I now consistently get 2 orders a day & trying to grow it to 5+ and then down the road 10+ a day. Having a love/hate relationship with etsy ads right now & trying to reevaluate it. I am almost getting too much traction with clicks and not enough conversion. My conversion isn't bad, but it should be higher for the amount of clicks I'm paying for. Trying to figure out if it's my pricing as I slightly increased them after a good number of sales or if I need to decrease the amount of listings I have on ads for now (I currently have 700 listings with 250 on ads between good sellers and new items as I list about 20 per day. I just like seeing immediate stats on what's working more than others when I list the new items so that's why I have so many on ads. However, I need to figure things out because the daily ads are taking my daily profits so it's still break even for me. Like you always say...continuously looking at what's working and what's not working!

[@shawnalynn2083]

You got it going on Blair!!!! It sounds like you are on such an amazing track!!!! With ads keep a daily look at your search terms and turn ones off that are not specific enough.

@@shawnalynn2083 Thanks Shawna! Always appreciate you! Yesssss, that video is amazing! And yes I think I need to cut down a bit more on the search terms so that they're more specific to my products. I still kept some up that are the vague main topic search term and not niched down enough to what my product specifically is. I was hoping just to get eyes on it, but those eyes aren't converting.

Please do more of these videos and I would love to be in on the Etsy nights they sound so fun 🎉 as for me it’s been really slow, I’m at 66 sales since end of December 2022 😢 I do daily sales I’ve doubled down on what’s working which is 2 niches super specific but idk if it’s enough. I upped the adds from 1$ to 2$ a day. I don’t know if 3$ would change much. Some weeks I have 4-5 sales, some I have 1. I hear that after 100 you get more sales..? I only have 470 listings maybe that’s why? But then I see shops with 150 listings and 400 sales. I see listings with youth shirts and many shirts in one listing but I struggle with the how to. Is there a way you could make a video on how to do those types of listings? I try to list at least 1 listing a day sometimes I do more but I struggle with the group and listings that have onesies tank tops shirts and sweatshirts in one listing. Anyway lol I absolutely love you both and your energy soooo much I do hope we get to see more Shawna and Lyneida together! ❤

Shawna, I’m having a little girl crush. You are so fun to watch. Thank you for your beautiful heart. I just discovered your channel. I’m so glad I did. I opened my first shop on 11-17-23. I’ve been creating new designs every day. Aiming to list 5 each day. I’ve got two questions: the leader thing: I don’t get fully what you were saying on this one. Do you have a video on it? The daily sales: great idea. I am now in a cyber week sale but I was already planning to do continually sales and just set up a monthly sale for after cyber week and then bumped into this video. So I’ll delete that one. When you say daily sales: do you suggest to do a shop wide one with every day a different % or do you suggest to do this a couple of items? What does daily sales look like? Looking forward hearing from you. Have a great day, Miriam ❤

[@RailinX]

another awesome video! I've spent this whole year scaling out my bestsellers and popular listings ... that's all I do. Doubling, tripling and fiftupling down on things that work has literally built my shop! Why waste time shooting arrows in the dark trying to land new niches all the time when it is much easier to corner a bigger market of the niches we already get traffic for! (not that we don't need to add new, we do! just saying it's much easier to grow a niche we already get traffic for). Regarding copycats - they are a plague in Etsy. Definitely funny to see one of my bestsellers from last summer now copied all over etsy. BUT scaling out your successful designs also helps combat copycats, because you will be able to extend your successful design to other markets before the copycats do. And I have gotten a shop shut down for copying mine and another seller's designs!

[@shawnalynn2083]

OMG Mel! FIFTUPLING!!!! This just made me laugh so out loud! Anyone catching this comment... reread it a few times because golden advice here! Words to live by!

[@Straingelove]

I really appreciate your comment. It kind of answered what I was wondering. I have a specific like super specific niche that sells for me. Even a older shop with more sales copied one of my designs and I only have about 60 sales and I opened 6 months ago 😢 I was wondering if I should try a new niche since it’s been slow in the one that has been selling but maybe I just need more designs in that niche or scale designs on other items 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@shonahall1689]

Just when I think I'm doinf everything I can, you come along with something else I should be doing - daily sales. I have been doing a sale that runs for a week, bit not daily. I was wondering, isnit normal to set a highrer postage in your shop than what we get charged by POD? I kept mine the same.

[@shawnalynn2083]

Hey there! You just want to makes sure you know your total cost after materials, shipping, and fees so you can charge evough to make some profit over that. I like to make right around 7 dollars profit on shirts. I hope this helps!

It absolutely is the learning and training bc if someone were to try and explain this at first a person would be so lost. U have to learn then as u get to that place be hungry for it. I just listed listings on my cell and let Etsy sit for 7mo and wondered why wasn't I getting sales?? CraZzzy I signed up for a class and it opened my eyes to the real Etsy.😂 However that class was 50 a mo! So I started going to videos and since March 13th everyday 8hrs a day going back and fixing listings and started getting few sales... I'm still in learning mode and will not quit! I take everything u say, take notes and go back and redo😂😂😂😂

[@shawnalynn2083]

I am wishing you so so so much success Nat!

[@kateshort2368]

This is a awesome video, Thanks ladies! 😊 I was thinking a good idea for a future video would be what pricing you use. Like what you list shirts, hoodies, mugs ect at. I think it’s hard to find a lose leader price that also does not look to “click bate” by like having size small $10 cheaper than medium and up. Also I’m struggling with mugs and shipping prices, cuz with the $35 and up free shipping it becomes a huge difference and I take a loss. But if I raise the mug price to off set it that makes it look very expensive compared to others.

[@shawnalynn2083]

Hey there Kate! So my loss leader is about a 10 dollar difference and it has been working pretty great for me. I would up going with complete free shipping because of this issue! But I know many people leave it with 35 and up and are successful with it. A loss leader on those will help!

Do you have adds on all the time? Congratulations!🎉

[@minnam275]

This was fantastic! I love your friendship. Any suggestions what to do when others copy your design? I created digital print that no one had and it became the bestseller. Soon enough I saw it in another new shop, being the exact copy of mine, with the layout... everything. What is the best way to approach in this case?

[@shawnalynn2083]

I am so sorry that happen to you! It is so very frustrating! I am putting a two part video together on this! But the quick answer is that I ignore it and make more new listings! Keep your eyes peeled for those videos because I do have a ton more to say on the topic and some other things you can do about it!

[@icebirdd]

I had a question about the paid ads. If you’re not hitting your daily budget would you just advertise everything or only advertise what’s getting views, likes, and/or sales? I’m doing $3 a day and have 95 listings at the moment. I’m just advertising everything since I’m not hitting my daily budget yet. My shop is 2 months old. Maybe you could make a video on that if you haven’t yet. Thanks!

[@shawnalynn2083]

Hey there! I would do what you are doing! And if you haven't seen this video yet you might find it helpful:) kzbin.info/www/bejne/pqDTi2hnlpdjfLM

@@shawnalynn2083 Ok, thanks!

[@sampsonshollowlivingston2173]

2000 listings? Wow. I feel like I’m pretty creative but I’m definitely not fast. It takes me several hours to put up the design. It’s not the creative parts, it’s all the steps in the process. I am a retired teacher but have my own wedding business. I don’t consider pod a passive side hustle! But, it appeals to my right side brain.

[@shawnalynn2083]

Hey there! The process gets much quicker as you continue! Sounds like you must be very creative with owning your own wedding business! Definitely not passive in the beginning but later it becomes much more passive. Wishing you so much success with POD! If you aren't in the wedding niche on Etsy I think that one would be a great one for you to add to!

[@timothy8142]

2000 adds up pretty fast, especially if you have a quick template you can use and transpose into other designs. "First Grade Teacher" - K through 5 = 6 shirts. "I'm in the First Grade!" - K through 5 = 6 shirts. "I love the First Grade!" - K through 5 = 6 shirts. "First Grade Rocks!" - K through 5 = 6 shirts. You're already up to 24 with those simple shirts.

[@eatdrinkandtravel5190]

@@shawnalynn2083 thank you so much 😊

[@MileyonDisney]

Thanks. Question: When Printify or USPS raises their rates, is it automatically reflected onto Etsy (like when an item is sold out), or do we have to go through and change every price?

[@shawnalynn2083]

Hey Miley! So I created a separate shipping profile that is not automatically connected with the POD shop. So mine would differently. If I were charging for shipping I would definitely have to update it myself. If you are using the shipping profile they push out in your shop it might be updated automaticaly but I'm not sure! You might just want to go into your settings to see if everything is what you want it at. Hope this helps girl!

[@carolamoore72]

Hi Shawna, great video! I am a new Etsy owner and I have 8 listing's and I just recently got my first sale which was organic, Yay! I think I probably could do better, but I don't know if I am pricing correctly! I do apparel right now, so what should I be pricing these at?

[@shawnalynn2083]

Yay! Out the gate with a sale and only 8 listings??? That is amazing! So it really depends on the item... I price most of my tshirts between 22.99 and 24.99. I hope this helps!

[@oooBoEoNooo]

Thanks for the insights! 🙂 Shawna, how does payment work when you sell shirts through a printer like Printful or Printify? Do you then have to pay upfront as a shirt seller or can you pay the printer after you get the money from the customers? If you have to pay upfront, you can quickly run into a financial bottleneck if you don't have a lot of capital. Or am I looking at this the wrong way?

[@shawnalynn2083]

Hey there! So you have to pay for the shirt when it is purchased. I have mine on a credit card so it kind of just hangs out there and when I get paid from Etsy (weekly) I just pay it off. As great as it would be to sell tons of shirts suddenly that probably won't happen. It will be a slow build up which will make that bottleneck problem not much of a problem! Hope this helps!

[@oooBoEoNooo]

@@shawnalynn2083 Yes, thank you, Shawna ☺

Can you clarify the difference between daily and monthly sales? I am not sure what that means. Also, using a loss leader when someone copy cats is a way to capture back those sales?? Good video!

[@shawnalynn2083]

HI there Carla! We are so glad you liked the video! A daily sale is when you run a 24 hour sale in your shop. I run them just about every day. A monthly sale is set the sale to run for the whole month. I hope this helps! Here is a video that might help a little more! kzbin.info/www/bejne/epTFf6ysoJuCqJI

[@hannahjoy4857]

I have a question... Did L. take down any of her 2000 listings from before her learning curve? I feel like she is telling my story in that I have 450 listings, but almost all of them were created before I learned how to design, how to do research, etc. Now I'm still putting up more designs every day, but I still have hundreds of pretty bad listings still up. What should I do?

[@shawnalynn2083]

Hey there Hannah! She did not take any of them down. And she does randomly sell from some of them... with the momentum of her shop swinging forward this gives them a bit better chance. I also think it might have made her feel like progress wasn't being made if she say so many listing gone out of her shop! But you could always set them to "manually renew" so you have the chnace to make that decision every 4 months when they expire. Hope this helps!
