So you make money out of selling on Etsy, you have yt channel where you promote this business yet you do not say what the name of your store is??? Is funny how everybody promoting Etsy don’t share their store. That’s very odd
This is super helpful info Kate. What starting budget would you recommend to help jumpstart 100 sales for a digital product? Would I see results advertising $3-$5 a day?
Thank u, the info u are sharing is priceless. And Im so thankful for u and others who share. I opened my Etsy POD shop 2.5 years ago all by watching RUclips.
Thankyou Kate you have helped me so much with my new etsy business. I managed to discover 2 issues I had and I have now corrected them, I only started out on the 12th March 2023. I did have some pro elements within my designs I have for sale as digital templates. I addressed this issue and now I know for future at least so I can decide to have some templates that don't have any pro elements in to make it easier for the customer. My other issue was I had the digital files as PNG format so the link was inactive 😱 I've spent 2 days correcting those files to PDFs all 87 of them 🙈 I'm glad I have learnt these though and am not oblivious to these errors. I love listening to your videos while I work to give me new ideas and take your advice on board. I am signing up to sale samurai today!!
It's my first time searching for guidance on how to do better on Etsy. I am glad I find your video. You are really good! Thanks a lot! (I'm Def. Following you!)
Hi kate: I wish that I would 😢known all of this before, I would have never started a shop I lost my job a few weeks ago, and I thought that if I worked on it, that this would help. I am so very frustrated. I am trying to "tag". I will keep going. I really hope that your training helps. Thank you
Thank you for such a helpful video! I have a question though; if I am planning on selling UV Resin jewelry and accessories, as well as digital cut files, should I have two different shops? I tend to do a lot of different craft types (ADHD lol) so it’s really hard for me to narrow stuff down and stick with one thing.
Hi friend! You can mix digital and physical products IF they make sense together and fit within a niche, theme, or style. However if they don’t really make sense together it could be confusing for your buyer and it may be best to have two shops if that is the case!
P.S. I subscribed to your channel, too. I'm going to use youtube in my promotion plan as well. I notice you didn't mention that in this video. Was there a reason? What are your thoughts on it?
Hey Kate! So if I’ve already opened up my Etsy shop with a little as 3 listings should I just keep going or somehow deactivate my shop and do a big public launch when I have about 15 listings? 🥰 Great video!
Great question! No need to deactivate anything, I just wouldn’t do a big push on social media, etc until you have the first 12-15 listings up and ready :)
Can we sell different types of digital products like cards, coloring pages, business cards, and even pod t-shirts on the same e-shop? It reduces sales please reply 🙏
I used Canva Templates filled out my About, used 3-5 pictures for each listing and, started with 25 listings, promoted on FB, IG, Twitter and had 9 shares. My first two days I had 139 views and no sales. I plan to list another 10 products this Friday and post about my shop again. Hopefully I get a couple sales. How do you go about deals/codes?
Hi Kate, great video! Thank to do much. I got a ton of of it. I am going to do your masterclass, but I have a couple questions now that I was going you could answer. First, what is a brand ambassador? How does that work for you? I've heard it read where brand ambassadors are a scam. I trust you so I want to hear what you have to say. Are they the people who keep sending me emails on Instagram wanting to put my pics on their account of millions of followers to grow my insta account? And second, you used the words brand ambassador and influencer close together. Are they the same thing? We're new. My daughter and I. We have almost 300 listings, 200+ views and visits, but no sales. I'm trying to learn all I can to break through and become a market leader. Started on January 2023. Art printables. Thank you.
The more sales you make, specifically on a single listing, the higher that listing’s quality score which causes it to rank higher and higher. So yes, once you gain momentum with the first sales, the higher your listings should rank, making them more visible and hopefully bringing in more sales organically :)
Hi Kate..I was just wondering if there any limit on the number of listings we can post on Etsy per day as a new seller?I have 150 t-shirt designs Ready to go for my General print-on-demand apparel store on Etsy but not sure if I can post all 150 per day or should I take it slow and post 50 designs per day for the next 3 days! I would appreciate your response,thanks!
@@KateHayes thank you Kate!! This video was encouraging 💓 also I saw one of my products was showing ‘3 in cart’ sign so hoping that I’m going to get more sales🙏🙏🙏
Thanks for this! How many views on an item without a sale would indicate an issue with the listing do you think? I have this one listing with a great CTR. I have only one sale though, could that be why I am not converting?
It’s great that you’re getting clicks! Average Etsy conversion rates are 1-5%. If you’re thinking there may be something keeping customers from purchasing, ask a few friends or people who might be similar to your target customer to take a look at the different elements of the listing (product itself, price point, photos, description, etc) and give you honest feedback. It can help so much to get a third party perspective!
I downloaded Etsy, and it straight away shows Sign in. When I try to register through Google account, it says no shop is connected with my gmail. What am I suppose to do?
Is spending money on ads the only way to drive sales, given that Etsy is a large marketplace. Obviously you can make your shop look marvelous, but if nobody knows it exist, you won't make any sales, right? I've heard from others that you have to pay for ads. Who can afford ads if your not making sales and don't forget the pricey research tools. All those costs add up pretty quick. You need a sizable cash reserve before you can get really go all in. Just my thoughts. And it helps having brands sponsoring your channel.
Paid ads definitely aren’t necessary to be successful on Etsy. I grew my shop without any paid marketing only through organic promotion on social media and through email for the first several years of my business. It can be done 😄
I sell traditional hand-made carpets in installments and wholesale to anyone interested, welcome. I have a shop in Marrakech, Morocco, and I deal with sellers around the world that work best on Etsy and other platforms.
Hi beautiful people, desperate person here!. So, i became an etsy seller, because my hands simply must create. I have no choice. Can someone please tell me if what i make is just not nice so that I know to close the shop.

So I don't see any links to your guys shops on RUclips or on Instagram? I'd love to see with my own eyes all those successful stores you created ??
You are the best teacher Kate! ❤
Aww, thank you! That means so much! :)

Hi kate:
I wish that I would 😢known all of this before, I would have never started a shop
I lost my job a few weeks ago, and I thought that if I worked on it, that this would help.
I am so very frustrated. I am trying to "tag".
I will keep going. I really hope that your training helps.
Thank you
Questions, what the diff between PDF and PNG when it comes to digital products? I’m making calendars that can be printed or edited for the customers.
Hi doing today glad like this what draw art pictures figures customers what try draw them in could be challenging

I love the fire comparison! Spot on!
Yes- it’s so like that, right?! 🔥
@@KateHayes Yes! Absolutely!

Can we sell different types of digital products like cards, coloring pages, business cards, and even pod t-shirts on the same e-shop?
It reduces sales
please reply 🙏
I would recommend for your products to all be within a cohesive niche, such as a style or theme, in order to be less confusing for your customers

It’s best to spread it out a bit vs uploading them all in one day!
100 😳‼️that’d be wonderful! Almost one month in and only 2 😂
It can take some time to gain traction friend.. make sure you’re marketing your shop! 😊
@@KateHayes thank you Kate!! This video was encouraging 💓 also I saw one of my products was showing ‘3 in cart’ sign so hoping that I’m going to get more sales🙏🙏🙏

Did you create a shop seperately?
Where is your Etsy shop?
Is spending money on ads the only way to drive sales, given that Etsy is a large marketplace. Obviously you can make your shop look marvelous, but if nobody knows it exist, you won't make any sales, right? I've heard from others that you have to pay for ads.

@@KateHayes is there an email program that you use for Etsy?
I sell traditional hand-made carpets in installments and wholesale to anyone interested, welcome. I have a shop in Marrakech, Morocco, and I deal with sellers around the world that work best on Etsy and other platforms.
Hello may I get in touch with you on any of your social media handles
I signed up today and uploaded my first listing after watching your videos.. I logged out then bam, suspended. 😢
Ouch! What was your listing?
It's a digital product.
They're so quick to suspend legit shops while they turn a blind eye to dropshippers and resellers 😩
@@Cremeandtoffee really? That's so sad! 😭
So sorry friend.. hopefully this is just temporary and your shop will be reinstated soon!
Yes I have I deleted my store
Hi beautiful people, desperate person here!. So, i became an etsy seller, because my hands simply must create. I have no choice. Can someone please tell me if what i make is just not nice so that I know to close the shop.
