Hi.. how are you ? I am having significant difficulty in listing my etsy shop.. it requires me to upload ten photos in there of my products.. but nomatter how I try to upload them.. etsy won't accept those photos... and I do not yet have a video to add in there. Can you please advise on HOW to do a product listing on Etsy??

[@stfuhr]

Brandon, so when you say to put 16-20 listings into one Etsy shop, can you expand a bit on that? Does that mean that you create 16-20 products within a niche, or just 16-20 products, or something else? Thanks

[@brandontimothy]

Yes, when I suggest having 16-20 listings in your Etsy shop, it's about making your storefront look full and appealing from the start. You can offer different variations to showcase your range. The idea is to create a good first impression for potential customers.

Hi Brandon, I appreciate the helpful information, especially for someone new like me. I have a question: Would it be okay according to Etsy's policies if I use my personal email, such as Gmail, to conduct email marketing to a list of potential customers in my niche (e.g. Medical niche)?

[@brandontimothy]

Yes, that's okay, but personally, I would recommend creating a business Gmail account for your email marketing efforts. It adds a professional touch and helps separate your business communications from personal ones.

Hi Brandon, thanks so much for the valuable information you shared. I have a question : can I sell either digital products and apparel in the same shop or should I create two separate shops for each product ? Is selling both in the same shop will ban my account !

[@brandontimothy]

Hey there! If they cater to completely different niches, I recommended to separate them into different shops. Selling unrelated items in one shop might confuse customers. Hope this helps!

Hi Brandon, thank you for the information. I have a question if debit card can be used for opening my Etsy shop. Thank you

[@brandontimothy]

Yes, you can use a debit card to open your Etsy shop. 😊

Hi Brandon!! Thank you for your channel. 🙏 You're a Godsend! So my question is about the size of the listing photos on etsy.. What size should my mockup photos be, if I'm creating it myself in Midjourney, Canva or PicsArt? I cannot seem to find a straight answer and it's annoying 😂

[@brandontimothy]

I use a 3000 x 3000 (rectangular) format with 300 for the top and bottom borders in my mockup photos.

[@Soulseeker75]

@@brandontimothy God BLESS you lol! Finally, a straight, direct answer! Thank you, Brandon! 😆 Cheers, Angela

[@brandontimothy]

Haha.. You're welcome! 😁

No link in the description for getting 40 listings for free

[@brandontimothy]

Oh! Thank you for bringing this to my attention! I have now included the link to open your Etsy shop with 40 FREE listings in the video description. :)

[@bluencrafts]

hi, i opened a shop on etsy using the link to get a free listing. but I didn't get it and I have sent a message to Etsy but they ask for personal data such as *last 4 of taxpayer/VAT ID and last bill amount, what do you think?

[@brandontimothy]

Hi! If you're located in the EU, Norway, Switzerland, or the UK, and your gross sales reach or exceed the local threshold in the calendar year, Etsy mandates adding your taxpayer name and VAT ID to your Etsy shop. This is a requirement for continued selling on the Etsy platform. Make sure to comply with this regulation to ensure smooth operations on Etsy.

Hi,can i make full income from digital products of png files for pod?

[@brandontimothy]

Hey! I was able to quit my regular job by selling digital products on Etsy. If you're considering diving into this business, know that yes it's entirely possible to make a full-time income selling digital products. But, before taking the leap, it's important to conduct thorough market research.
