Hello Kate is the 3 month from Shopify for $1 still valid? I see only one month now. Also I hear a lot about the suspensions from Etsy kind afraid they being unfair with the seller.

[@KateHayes]

Do you prefer Etsy or Shopify? Let me know why in the comments!! 🤔🙋🏻‍♀

[@CreativeRob]

Well I am using both to sell my artwork. I have only made sales on Etsy and my website has not had one sale...just a bunch of bots signing up on my email list. So i'm actually thinking about doing Etsy Plus and making my website that way. If I can get eyes on my artwork I can sell it...shopify does not push your website so it's hard to sell.

[@KidAMRadio]

@@CreativeRob Do you buy ads? I feel like this is required to be successful. Organic traffic just doesn't happen.

[@LahrySibley]

@@CreativeRob that is very helpful, thank you.

[@thehapagirl92]

Shopify sounds like a better site for someone with an established business that now wants another site to sell on and can bring business too

[@KateHayes]

Absolutely! You can still start on Shopify but it will be harder to build a customer base.

[@davidthescottishvegan]

Another fantastic video Kate and a useful video because I am considering setting up a online store either through Etsy or Shopify and because i am only starting out Etsy sounds like the best option. Love 🥰 the video and love 💞 Kate.

[@KateHayes]

Thank you friend. Glad it was helpful!

[@soyoungNpompom]

[@EstevanCobbledick]

I appreciate you for sharing this, excellent!

[@alexanderturkiashvili]

Hi guys, overall i think shopify better but one detail is stopping me decide which platform should start selling, so when customer goes to etsy, they know, its a big corporation and no chance of getting scammed and buys freely, but when you have shopify, customer goes to random website, dont know its scam or not. Isnt it big dealbreaker?

[@KateHayes]

Having a professional and official looking website (which Shopify can help you build with their templates), as well as reviews for social proof, can really help ensure your shoppers feel safe.

[@LahrySibley]

ecommerce scamming is becoming a huge problem. Good point.

[@DinhKhacPhung]

THANKS A BUNCH, AMAZING VIDEO!!!

[@dhebert111]

So...could you set up a Shopify market, and one with Etsy, and link the two? Thanks. This was a great video, and it's appreciated.

[@KateHayes]

Yes you could have both. You can’t necessarily link the shops but you could include your website link in your Etsy shop About Section and vice versa

[@Emily-dg6rc]

Thank you for all the information! :)

[@KateHayes]

You are so welcome!

[@RochaScutter]

very helpful, worth the watch

[@isabear478]

Thank you, friend!

[@EbonyRymill]

AWESOME it really helped me

[@Ttmara88]

Hi do you have to paid the ad fee if you are promoting your etsy shop on your on social media or just if they promote you

[@melissamoore1965]

Once you are established on etsy is it wise to switch over to shopify? And would it be easy transition?

[@KateHayes]

Some people do and some do both! Shopify’s initial setup will take more time because it has more customization options but once it’s done, it’s done! If things are going well for you on Etsy, I’d say keep both for a while!

[@AbbyDelea]

amazing vid!!! ty

[@RutheBatriz]

You are AWESOME!!! TY

[@zakariae7913]

With Etsy your store can get suspended anytime and with no clear reasons. Plus you can't build a long term business because you always depend on Etsy.

[@KateHayes]

Hi friend. I hear where you’re coming from. I have a video that explains more about Etsy suspensions, you can watch that here: www.kate-hayes.com/webinar-registration-page-1 As far as long term growth… this is why it’s so important to build an email list, so that for those wanting long term growth, they can eventually have their own website through a platform like Shopify and direct their email list there

You’re welcome! 😊

[@TeruKanausuku]

Nice. thanks for sharing

[@HànLiênCẩm]

great content. ty

[@hindsabri3557]

etsy is not free at least now, you have to pay 40 Canadian dollars to join and then you keep paying the transaction and listing fees which honestly I can't decide if it's better or shopify since you can get 1 month for free from shopify and the rest is 30 dollars a month

[@2lillyboo]

Hello. I don't have etsy available in my country. Should i use ebay for selling my designed items in printify?im a beginner so it would be helpful if you reply.

[@eladiopadilla]

I wish this was an unbiased comparison.

[@RiRiBondo]

Thank you for this video

[@KateHayes]

You’re welcome!

[@PhạmXuânLinhOanh]

TY!!! AWESOME

[@isabear478]

etsy is a no no

[@Tania-d9v]

Thanks for the video. Great info! Question - Etsy is not tansferrable. I think this is important if you'd like to build an online business that you can sell.

[@KateHayes]

Definitely worth taking into consideration!

[@mdnahidseo]

U need a professional youtube thumbnail designer?

[@domehouse79]

Nah

[@dalissaperez106]

So, Etsy sponsored this video…

[@KateHayes]

Nope, not sponsored 👍🏼

[@maya1110]

i m sorry but as someone with some IT knowledge comparing these two is like comparing apples and tennis shoes...etsy is a marketplace like ebay or amazon and shopify is a website building service....shopify is your actual website that you can pay a designer to build for you whereas etsy is a marketplace...you can sell through both but thats where the similarities end...i m not sure you understand it youself to even compare

[@KateHayes]

Many people get confused since both are recommended highly for those wanting to sell products online which is why I’m explaining the differences (exactly what you mentioned) in this video 👍🏼

[@guitaristguy20]

Did you watch the video? That’s the 1st the she says when she started lol.

[@SavishhFinds]

She said that a couple different times in the video lol.

[@Taylordessalines]

Horrible comment. You’re just trying to sound smart.

[@charityajuwa1032]

Hello Kate Hayes, how can i get 1:1 coaching with getting started with Etsy shop. I have no prior experience at all. Hear from you soon.
