    😊 Alek, can you try a 30 or 60 day challenge, opening a new Etsy shop without running ads and record your real progress, selecting and designing products, so everyone can see if opening an Etsy shop in 2024 still works or not.

    I opened a shop months ago, I was trying to get traffic using sub niches like Gym Sayings. My goal was to make about 10 to 25 designs for each sub niche. I was using merch informer to get ideas on keywords and niches i should go after along with everbee. I too noticed the more postings I've created the more traffic I would get. One of my designs gets views but no sales im not sure why. I made my first sale in the political niche in april, I lost money on it due to fees however it did prove it to me that this could be viable. Unfortunately, I've gotten side tracked and haven't kept up with it. I need to start grinding on this, seeing 100 sales within 1 or 3 months is amazing results IMO and i don't think it is typical. I need some help getting the ball moving and I'm interested in the systems your using to generate designs as well as upload them to etsy. I upload my design to printify and then it publishes to etsy, should I do this differently?

    Great video. Just wondering why you rank Gelato so low typically when until 2 monthd ago they were by far the cheapest supplier for mugs and even now are typically cheaper then printify for shirts, especially internationally.

  • @davidjmaggs
    @davidjmaggs 21 день назад +10

    Your videos are always interesting Alek. However, I have just closed my shop on Etsy, it's just a waste of time, the site is massively over saturated with everything from T-Shirts, Mugs to digital products and the only way to make any money is to spend a fortune in advertising and even that's no guarantee. I work 9 hours a day and I am far too tired to spend time creating new designs for either T-shirts, Mugs, etc. But I do enjoy your videos.

Luckily I had opened a shop before this came into effect but I guess it's a deterrent for people to post low quality listings. No idea why they restrict the account from the beginning though. This is a bot issue that needs to be fixed by Etsy.
      The way I see it is that the decision makers at Etsy must be thinking that if even 2 out 10 people don't bother appealing the ban after the store is created, they've pocketed $30 in pure profit.
