[@saraandcrew]

I get emotional when I listen to you, it gives me hope ! Thank you!

[@shawnalynn2083]

I am so rooting for you Sara❤️❤️❤️

[@sonz4205]

Shawna!! You never disappoint, honestly!! You are my favourite!! I loved the root where the oo’s were switched out for onions and beets. Your design process and the research is just amazing. Thank you so much ♥️♥️♥️ always!! And OMG Tucker 🥺🥰♥️ xxx

Hey Shawna!! You knocked it out of the park as usual! Such great ideas! I can't wait until summer break is here and I can be on your chat again! They are such fun when the text gets to moving so quickly! I love that you are sharing the links to the graphics! Also, I wanted to let you know that I am hanging in there with my store! I'm closing in on 100 orders for this year--not where I want to be, but had I closed my store in Feb (when your urged me to stay open), I would have lost 40 orders. Thanks so much for rooting for me! The 2nd design is my favorite.

[@shawnalynn2083]

Jennifer!!! I am looking forward to you being back in the chats! Whoo hoo! I swear the second 100 will be easier than the first! You keep going!!!!!!!!!

[@HOWLYDOG]

Shawna you are SO gifted in your teaching skills! I'm so grateful for you and your abilities to make things clear and simple to follow! ❤❤❤

[@shawnalynn2083]

Thank you Howlydog! I am so glad you have been watching my content and finding it helpful!

[@renjadegroff8342]

You are so good at designing!!! I hope to learn how to be that good!!!❤❤❤

[@shawnalynn2083]

You've got this! Keep practicing!

[@Tabalina2011]

A future video idea: To review some of these design samples on the actual product. I have heard the watercolor items do not print very well on a darker shirt/sweatshirt as a white layer is put down first. Would love to see this in more depth!

[@shawnalynn2083]

Hey there! Great idea!!!!

[@dianaacosta3211]

Great video Shawna!!! My favorite : Second Green Shirt with the vegetables instead the letters OO for the word Root .

[@shawnalynn2083]

Yes! Thank you! I love using that design strategy!

[@sandysplannershopandcrafts4847]

shawna - I love you! My fav is the "You've got the Beet" so clever!

[@shawnalynn2083]

Haha Sandy! I'm glad you liked that one! I have checked your channel out and I love it! You do such cute things!!!!

[@priscillajackson9243]

Shawna, this video is very informative and educational.

[@shawnalynn2083]

I am so glad you found this helpful Priscilla!

[@myeklecticlife]

I like the first one

[@shawnalynn2083]

Hey there! Thank you! That was my fav too!

[@tiffanybell303]

You can even highlight the 1st art board by highlighting over all four corners and copy paste it

[@shawnalynn2083]

That is awesome! Thank you!

[@ineslaos6444]

Shawna thank you so much for all your wonderful videos.

[@shawnalynn2083]

You are so welcome!

It's hard to stay motivated but your videos have been helping me a bunch. I made the choice to return to Etsy after two years off the platform. I want to reach new customers which I've been struggling to do on my own website and social media. I've been posting new listings on Etsy for less than a month, have 42 active listings, and no sales yet. I have over 1k sales from when I was on the platform, and a bunch of 5 star reviews but their all over a year old. So I'm worried that those are hindering me? But it could honestly be that it hasn't been long enough yet, less than 30 days being back. Regardless your videos keep me motivated to keep listing, keep designing, and continue to be patient.

[@shawnalynn2083]

Hey there Kristen! That is amazing!!!!!! You have so got this! I think you just need some more fresh listings. Keep me posted on your progress!

[@dianaacosta3211]

I can always tell that you are a Teacher! What a great Class !

[@shawnalynn2083]

Wow, thank you!

[@PatriciaScherer-f9f]

Excellent video as always! U know u are my favorite copilot! OMG what a handsome Carrot ha!

[@shawnalynn2083]

Hey! I hope you are doing so good and I am so glad I am still copiloting!

[@juliaknight2548]

Shawna, you are so talented! I love the first design you did, with the words below the flowers. So pretty! Thank you for your great videos filled with inspiration and encouragement. ❤

[@shawnalynn2083]

Thank you Julia! That one was my favorite as well!

[@dianathompson6153]

Thank you, Shawna, for another helpful video, I love watching you design and your thought process, it helps so much in training mine❤🙏

[@shawnalynn2083]

You are so welcome Diana! I am so glad you enjoy the channel!

[@Barculocity]

Hey! I just wanted to share if you click that little settings wheel at the top right of Kittl you can toggle on the grid lines temporarily. That would help line up those stems easier. Thanks!

[@shawnalynn2083]

Awesome tip! Thank you!!!

[@Barculocity]

@@shawnalynn2083 You’re welcome!😉

[@PowerofPODwRileigh]

Your hair looks so great! Rooting for you Shawna 😉

[@shawnalynn2083]

Thank you Rileigh! I just had a hair appointment! LOL

[@miche_and_cheese]

Thanks for another great video Shawna! My favorite is the one with the 5 flowers and sideways writing! Any update on the healthcare calendar?

[@shawnalynn2083]

That was my favorite too! LOL! And thanks for the push! I need to get it finished up!

[@Livingthatbeardedlife]

Hey Shawna! Thanks for the great video. They're always super helpful! Would you be able to do a short form video (or long form) that explains how you would develop an SEO block when you're targeting multiple niches with one design? I have an idea for a design that would include 3 or 4 niches, but I have no idea how i would target my SEO with that many niches.

[@shawnalynn2083]

This is a great video idea! I know I sturggled my way through this too!

[@personalguntrainer]

Great video honey!! Ahhhh, the rarest Tucker carrot, hard to harvest as they have the deepest roofs. Yes,I went there. :-)

[@shawnalynn2083]

Haha! I am a sucker for a great pun! You can go there any time!

[@raymckenzie]

Thank you shawna, always so helpful!!

[@maryluzmartinezubieda1709]

Shawna, I know it has nothing to do with this video, but I have a bulk order and I have not been able to find a video explaining how the process works with Printify. Please could you make a video explaining it? I don't know how it is processed and how the customer is charged. Thanks your videos have helped me a lot!

[@almagjim]

I feel so bummed lol 😢I created something very very similar and never listed my design because I was afraid it was too similar to others 😫 I am glad I follow you and watched your video to give me clarity and confidence to list my items and try new things and not be afraid 😊

[@shawnalynn2083]

That is ok! You just keep creating!

[@cowgirljane6976]

Great info. Is a trademark looked up the same way as a copyright? Do we check both? Thanks.

[@newdeviceinformatica1]

Thank you for the video! I have a random question about custom requests. I have listings of spring dogs and several people have asked for versions that look like their dogs. For example most boxer dogs are brown but I was asked for a black and white one. After it's done I put it in the shop, same price as the rest, and send the link to the customer. I do it fast within a few hours of the request. After that I never hear from them again. What is happening here?

[@Knowledge-College]

Please tell me what it says behind you on the black letters I can’t make it out

[@cindyleinwand5062]

Gather - I wondered that too thinking it said garden

[@shawnalynn2083]

Hey there! Yes! I film at my dining table and it says gather behind me! My head covers half the letters!

[@Knowledge-College]

@@shawnalynn2083​​⁠thank you, my daughter and I were trying to figure it out I will also tell her! Love your videos by the way, the fact you were a teacher really comes through and it’s so easy to watch you! Thanks for all you do

[@MileyonDisney]

I went through my POD shop, today, and found a few hundred listings that were supposed to be AUTO RENEW, but they didn't... up to a year ago.

[@shawnalynn2083]

Oh boy!!!!!

[@MyPrintOnDemandJourney]

My shop got suspended for NO REASON before I even listed a product! What should I do? 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@sherririchardhometeamofnor7309]

This is a continuation of my previous message...I don't have any messages in my "From Etsy" folder, is this the proof that the purchase might not have been legit and most likely was a scam messages?

[@cindyleinwand5062]

Hi Shawna - thanks for another awesome video!!! My favorite design is the first one you did - but I would change the font either to a white or a soft yellow or to colors that matched the flowers - only reason being I sell a ton of comfort colors and that black wouldn't show up as well. Did any of those sell yet?

[@CindySimpson-h8o]

Really loved this niche and your ideas! Thank you for so much for sharing with us! And I loved the "Beets" design! :-) I hope you have a great & blessed week!

[@shawnalynn2083]

Hey there! thanks for taking a second to share in the comments! I am wishing you an amazing week as well!

[@rashelginzburg]

Hi Shawna, why don’t you give a link to your Etsy store? Isn’t it a goal of these videos to promote your store?

[@yahyalaouane8258]

Definetely not, there would be so much more traffic without any sale and that would decrease the conversion rate. That would be certainly a stupid thing to do, hope you understand ahah

[@emilyn609]

And people would copy and steal her designs

[@rashelginzburg]

Oh, I see. Thanks for your replies

[@shawnalynn2083]

Thank you yahyalaouane8258 and Emily for helping explain! Thanks so much for watching the video Rachel and taking a minute to leave a comment! You will notice many KZbinrs sharing their Etsy journey don't share their shop names. I always so wished they would as I was so eager to learn from their example! I came to understand that this is because this would send a lot of traffic to the shop which would normally be a wonderful thing if that traffic were likely to be purchasing a shirt. But with a channel like this most of the traffic would be clicking around the store looking for examples instead of making a purchase. This would hurt the shops conversion rate (the percentage of people who click in and purchase) and as a result the shop could drop in ranking, be less visible in search results, and have decreased sales. Hope that all makes sense! But I am happy to share lots of my numbers, data, experiment findings, and strategies I use so that you can implement them in you own shop. Hope this helps!

[@yahyalaouane8258]

@@shawnalynn2083 Hi Shawna thanks for your work,wanna ask what do you think about the listing of seasonal products, after the season you renew the listin or you prefer to let it deactivated until the relative season come again. Also the same concept for listings that don't sell after the 4 months, do you give them a second chance or do you expell them? Thanks if you answer me :)
