The Real Reason Why You're Not Making Progress with Etsy POD (and How to Start)

[@ForeverSunsetsBtq]

OMG Were you speaking directly to me? Thank you for this. I'll watch it on repeat weekly! lol. Seriously, I love your Thrive group, and it's helping me so much! This is the kick I need!

[@studiomdesignsco]

You are not alone, my friend! I’m so glad this was helpful - I appreciate you! 💜 Cheering you on!! 💪🏼

[@lh9933]

Also felt like Mandy was talking directly to me. I'm also in the Thrive group & have learned so much in just a couple of months!!

[@jaywillingham4085]

Oh my GOD! lol, this vid just came up in my feed, AS I was literally sitting here thinking "Why is my shop not progressing?". And I gotta add, Im only subscribed to maybe 3 Etsy experts here on youtube, you being one, because I feel like 99% of Etsy content providers are either full of it, or tend to ride all the buzz word fast cash hype trains. You are one of just a tiny handful who make me feel confident that I am getting top tier information from someone with legit experience. Thanks for all you do. 🤗

[@karlamurphy9934]

I'm doing well in my shop, but I love watching your videos anyway! Thanks for wonderful and encouraging content! This Etsy-preneurship gets lonely and I could always use a pep talk!

[@studiomdesignsco]

Thank you for being here and congrats on your shop success!! 💜🎉

[@nicole.salama.coaching]

I can relate to all of these! It can be so hard to decide what to focus on since I have no idea what will actually work lol! Thank you for your insight

[@Marie-fx4wh]

This needs a love button. Very informative 👏 ❤

[@susanbyland5106]

I am a full-time rider on the struggle bus (love that term) but, I am now part of your program and I think I am seeing a light...

[@wilhelminabrucelarbi4049]

You are a wonderful teacher ❤️ THANK YOU

[@yandinalamonts5312]

Great advice, I’m speaking too thinly and worrying too much, thank you

[@lillietblue9801]

Exactly what I needed! Thank you Mandy😍

[@user-jt2uh4sx6c]

Make lot of sense - thanks for guiding us in the right direction.

[@AliceMarie-uo3lx]

Mandy, I felt like you were speaking directly to me. You summed up most of things I have been struggling with. I've only been a member of the club for less than two weeks and, during that time I have learned so much and am beginning to focus in areas that can make a difference. Thanks for sharing your experiences and possible solutions.

[@senizkaraman3912]

Very realistic but still motivating👍⭐️, thanks a lot 🌺🐞🍀

[@NZTiberius2023]

Mandy, you are a true gem! I always use your time blocking system now!

[@chakka3000]

Thanks for the info, Mandy. As we have discussed before, finding individual strategies to succeed on Etsy via POD is getting challenging. Your suggestions here are very helpful!

[@darlafischer9869]

I am so glad I just watched your video! And like the comment before me, I'm going to watch it whenever i have self doubt or need a little kick! Thank you!

[@ProfitCatalystSynergy]

Hey Mandy, thanks for sharing this motivational video. You should upload videos more frequently... Because you provide high-quality stuff and you will also benefit in the long run with monetizing your channel better.

[@mel_ecom]

thank you so much Mandy! this was so helpful!❤️❤️

[@ibendivanno4270]

Very well said👏🏻

[@genahill4548]

Thanks, I needed to hear all of this. Very motivating. I feel like every guru says I need to be on Pinterest. I tried Pinterest and completely failed. I cannot find ANY useful information on HOW to drive traffic to Etsy from Pinterest. Or how to use Pinterest properly. Do you have some advice for me?

[@erensize]

Hi Mandy! I love all your videos! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience! I have a question for you. I started POD at the end of last year. I’ve had some people asking for wholesale prices for group orders. In the past i offered a percentage discount but I would like to know the best way to calculate my profit for larger orders. Would you be able to provide any advice? Thank you in advance. Eren.

[@user-gy8nu5ch4u]

Beautiful content! Thank you!!

[@ChantelleArts]

Such a fascinating video, ☺☺

[@ohwhatagass]

You are Fabulous!! And soo True.

[@fewsproducts]

Hey Mandy. I just joined the club.

[@studiomdesignsco]

So excited to have you!! 💜🎉🤩

[@cuotasdefe]

I loved it. Thank you 🙏🏻

[@Azin-vl6nh]

Thank you♥️

[@VivienneRussell]

Mandy, I have 6 or 7 products and tons of niches and I am getting virtually no views. I have been considering opening a new shop because Etsy has already rated my listings poorly but I do have 30 reviews that I worked hard to get and I fear that starting over may not be the right thing to do. What do you think? Should I open a new shop?I would LOVE your feedback!

[@Tawny593]

How do you know Etsy is rating you poorly?

[@mayrag6019]

Totally feeling like me 😢

[@JesusJoyJourney]

Mandy, I've started selling Christian difitial studies and market research has not been easy or clear for me. I have lots of pod ideas to match the digital stuff and/or bundle of the pod digital designs with the studies. Would the thrive club be helpful for me?

[@delta_yoko]

Hey can you please help me in something, in my country i can't open an etsy shop and am waisting time and i really want to get into POD business what do u recommend as substitute to etsy ... And do u have tips for lack of confidence when it comes to make designs, and searching methods in an endless niches and lot of designs i tend to get lost 😢

[@lmelyakim]

Hi,can i make a full income from selling shirts on etsy? Its realistic?

[@barbra429]

I really would like to use POD to sell t-shirts, but the problem I have with doing so is the long amount of time for the item to arrive to the customer, and the fact that I can't use my logos, packaging, care cards, freebies etc. that makes it so pretty and personal. Now, I am new to this, so maybe I got it wrong. I would appreciate any input anyone has.

[@studiomdesignsco]

I have a handmade biz, so I totally get the adjustment to POD and not having all the extras. It’s a trade-off, but the huge value comes from freedom from fulfillment. Holding inventory and designing tshirts on your own is very time consuming and very expensive (I’ve done it!). I use Printify for my POD and for apparel there are branding options for several providers, particularly apparel. For example, you can add neck labels with your logo and you can include a branded insert. They both are great for still having a branded experience, and I generally don’t run into issues with production or shipping taking an excessive amount of time 😊

[@barbra429]

@@studiomdesignsco So is there decent profit. Since pod is so expensive?

[@rohinigoodell3481]

Overwhelmed has been my paralysis so I gather more information and it gets more confusing and so the cycle goes before I am still staring at a canvas full of “ideas”. Thank you for this timely video!

[@lmlowe9100]

I have great designs and ZERO traffic.

[@Tawny593]

What is the name of your shop? Maybe we can help you. Maybe it's something small you're overlooking.

[@TraciLynMoveYourBody]

Hi Mandy. I really appreciated that video. I’m at a very frustrated point. I have been working so hard on my shop for hours daily. Every single day. I really working hard on designs and a specific niche that I have researched and I’ve seen other shops doing very well with. I have some ads running. Nothing is happening. I’m just working and working and working for free. I know that’s part of it. Do you offer a shop audits?

[@Tawny593]

You should share your store with us and have us try to help you.
