When following a batch approach, do you not recommend writing a unique product description paragraph for each product with your keywords in it for Etsy? I currently do that now with my AI sticker shop, and that is probably the part that takes me the most time.
Is there an easy way to generate 50 templates? Also how long should you batch one interest group before determining you would have more success with a different one?
Alex, YOU ROCK! I am retired consumer market analyst, and the first thing when starting a business is to do your research!!! I've just started my Etsy & Shopify business (basic setup for infrastructure). Of all the RUclips Etsy How To Setup Shop and make money in my research, yours drill down deep with precise and easy to understand tools & techniques. My only suggestion is to add affiliate links to the tools that you use (get paid for saving all of us time and money mistakes). Vela & Alura are added to my arsenal of tools (especially Vela!). I have subscribed to your channel and will be binge watching your channel. Keep you the awesome Tips & Lesson videos.
Thank you so much for showing us your tips. I am brand new to Etsy and print on demand and this is so confusing the way I see other RUclipsrs do this. saves time. I’ll probably have to go back and watch a couple times but already understanding a lot more than I did before subscribing
I have 1500 listings and 7 sales and 10 months of work up my sleeve. I find it easy to come up wit good sayings but it’s putting it all together that takes forever. Thanks for your constant help. You are a gem.
1500 listings and 7 sales after 10 months? if thats even close to the average... POD is so DEAD. i mean holy crap if you had collected empty beer cans in that time you would have made a lot more money for less work.
Love the video❤️ I just started my print-on-demand journey and found Crafted Threads. They have a ton of designs and it saved me so much time. They have something in every niche. And lifetime updates too!!
Hey bro, Ata here from Turkey. Trying to make it in Etsy and learning by your videos, it was fun to notice that you've used a turkish old series song, thanks for the fun detail, you are the best!
That’s really incredible! I’m just at the beginning. I am already have built my design template. I only have to drag the Printify mock-up on them and I get my beautiful mockup. But this batching tipp and editing many product all at once it’s such a time saving tipp. Thank you so much. You earned a new subscriber!
omg, this is so incredibly helpful! I am bouncing with excitement over how much more streamlined this will make my systems! Thanks for sharing these great tips!
I can't believe I got so hyped up about this just to find out Etsy is not supporting my country. I just want you to know, if you are in a country eligible on Etsy, you should consider yourselves very lucky. There are tens of thousands of talented artists who won't see a dime from this business model - just because they are, lets say, born in Serbia. I have to chase a business partner who could potentially open a bank account in Hungary, Croatia, UK or so - just to be able to open a damn Etsy shop. And I am more than capable of earning all the money they mention - even with these restrictions. I guess sometimes they are the ones that make us. Yes, of course I would move out this instant if I had the means, but I don't. So, when you start whinning, just think about thousands and thousands of equally if not more capable people that never got the chance you just happen to have. Oh, and thank you so much Alek for everything you do!
Hi Alek, Thanks for all your amazing tutorials, really appreciate them! Can you give some tips on how to batch list seamless digital patterns? It’s taking me forever to do each listing. I would love to get some tips on shortcuts to use. Thanks a lot!
While I'm certainly interested in a money-making idea like this, something about selling it on Etsy I find to be a bit distasteful. Etsy used to be a place where one could find high quality products made by extremely talented craftsmen. Now, it appears to be taken over by thousands of people just looking to make a quick buck without a lot of effort.
Though I fully understand your concern…but you are a contradiction within your statement and you just help them make a quick buck by watching the video 🌚 “Etsy used to be a place where one could find high quality products made by extremely talented craftsmen.” It still is this… Digital work is still being made from the hands of individuals and they use their creativity AND time. It is not taking away from other artist, business owners, and etc. Clearly, many ppl don’t like change and you thought the company wasn’t going to adapt to the new ways?! Digital work is still art/creative and you will still make money from it. And just because someone made a video on how to make a passive income from using what everyone has…technology…doesn’t take away from what the company stands for. RUclips was created to provide a platform for independent creators and a platform for one to voice their ideas and creations. So that’s exactly what they did! I’m not here to argue…we can agree to disagree…but this is and was educational, and makes it easier for ppl to understand how to sell on Etsy.
@@Zolipants correct there are one that’s can be ‘rubbish’ but they don’t think it’s rubbish. So let them talk their stuff and essentially mind your business that pays you and what keeps your lights on. 🤷🏽♀️. I’m just saying and I mean no harm to what I say.
Pretty nice explanation. Just wonder the success ratio among 3 millions personalized mug on Etsy. I am not sure if any one can scroll down to the bottom to pick ours.
Alek as usual great video. If you will recall, I asked you to provide a demo for Vela. Not sure if my request contributed to cause you to include Vela in this video. Much appreciated.
I only have some 40-odd listings up but I don't even want to say how many hours I put into those 40. 🤦♀ These tips are soooo helpful! #gamechanger Thank you for all your videos!!
This is genuinely so in depth an engaging and value-packed I've never really felt compelled to leave one of these comments on any other pod video on youtube but my gosh you're dropping gold rn thank you🤌🏼🤌🏼❤️❤️
AWESOME! This is going to make things so much easier! Thanks Alek! You always bring the value! My question is; do you ever use a VA for the lising tasks? Thanks! 😀
Can I do this on the most basic phone? Like I'm using 3gb ram phone, I'm serious, thank you if you answer this but I really want to do well, I hope you can make a tutorial using only your Android phone, this gives me hope 😊😊😊
It would be great if you could please talk about the importance of creating an LLC and trademark. Anyone could go to your listings and register them if you haven't done it already... don't you think?
This is a great video and demo for Vela. I love the benefits that Vela offers but have one major concern. I use Printify to produce my products so how can I save time when I still have to repeat any edits I make in Vela, manually in Printify? Any words of advice?
Alek is dead set sensational. Awesome quality vids and he’s open and honest about the results if you plan a long term strategy . Was one of his first 10 subscribers and he’s blowing up wind up penguins styles !!! Much deserved 👏✊
Thank Alek always so helpful and kind😊 please one question how you add to the store the coupon discount o free shipping coupon to the customer ? Thanks again
Thankyou For this much detailed video No one make videos like this you explained us with details plz Explain why etsy suspend account after just making a store in etsy .... My account is suspended without any reason.... Pls solve this problem
Of course, in this process‐ checking for trademarks ™️ ✅️ needs to be factored in before making mock-ups and definitely before listing to etsy IF a saying is trademarked indeed.
If you're not going to put the site's origin on screen (Vela..ie. I can not see the address bar of your browser) be nice to have in the description... short web names not necessarily unique. Thanks for what you do.
May I ask what you do for the Alt text descriptions under each mockup image? Do you edit these individually or does Vela work for these too? Wouldn't these need filled in manually beings as each product/image may be slightly different or do you not bother with filling these sections in at all?
Great content! Very helpful. A question. What mug pricing do you suggest?. I recently sold a mug priced at $15.50 where the production partner was Printful. Printful charged me $14.44 and Etsy deposited $13.61, so I made a LOSS of $0.83 ! How to avoid this in the future? Did it occur because I used Printful but with Printify it would not occur? Also, even Printify state that their white mug starts from $4.40 - meaning it could cost even more ? 🤔😬
Great info Alek. Thanks But I have a question, with thousands of items for sale in every category how do I get the things I've made seen by anybody? I mean even if theres only 10,000 items in the category I'm making items, how do I keep from being 10,001 in the etsy list?
Love your videos Alek! You inspired me to start some Etsy shops and I love your content! I wanted to ask you a question. Recently A TON of shops got suspended because they had smiley faces or the word smiley in their listings. My shops included. They were down for about a week but just got reinstated because I am a US shop. It said foreign shops were the ones being targeted. I was wondering if this happened to any of your shops. The company trying to make these lawsuits against everyone is called Brickell IP group. I guess they trademarked the smiley face emoji (how could anyone do this?!) and they are going after anyone using a smiley face. 😂 How insane! If this happened to you, I was going to see if you could make a video about it! I’m wondering how many shops were suspended because of this company, and wondering how Etsy even allowed this to happen. It seems like any scammer could make a bunch of fake documents and tell Etsy to shut these shops down. Makes me question what kind of process Etsy has for suspending shops. 🤷🏼♀️
I love your videos Alex, I followed every thing that you said and opened up a digital shop on Etsy and they promptly suspended me. Any other platform you suggest? Thanks!
This is my big fear. I did a training with another group, and they suggested that if you post more than 5 product postings a day, that can make the algorithm shut you down. Another one is highly political stuff (which is kind of weird, because I've seen tons of shops with overtly political sentiments). It's concerning that I'm capable of being shut down after putting 5 hours a day into this endeavor. Please let me know if they reinstated your shop @margiebyme8910
It's quite normal. Even if you haven't done anything wrong. Sometimes the system does this to detect if you are human or not trying to do scam posts. Write etsy support an email including your name and your problem. In 2 weeks, hopefully, they can disable the suspension. Also make sure, you do not share any trademark products (Barbie, Taylor Swift etc.). You do not have the right to do so and it is a direct reason to get suspended.
Hi there! I noticed your comment. Sure you can do it. I wanted to reach out and see if I could help you with your store. As an Etsy expert, I have a lot of experience and knowledge when it comes to optimizing listings, improving SEO, and increasing sales. If you're interested, I'd be happy to share some tips and strategies that have worked for my clients in the past. Let me know if you're interested in learning more!
What questions should I answer when I make a Q&A? 👇
what was your text editing program at 1:20 ?
Can you tell haw to connect to a company that would made our products so we can sell on ETSY
When following a batch approach, do you not recommend writing a unique product description paragraph for each product with your keywords in it for Etsy? I currently do that now with my AI sticker shop, and that is probably the part that takes me the most time.

Is it okay to sell diferent type of products on the same store, e.g., mugs, shirts, jumpers etc.

You are delivring "NO BS" videos only ! Thank you for such channel .
I have 1500 listings and 7 sales and 10 months of work up my sleeve. I find it easy to come up wit good sayings but it’s putting it all together that takes forever. Thanks for your constant help. You are a gem.
1500 listings and 7 sales after 10 months? if thats even close to the average... POD is so DEAD. i mean holy crap if you had collected empty beer cans in that time you would have made a lot more money for less work.
yeah, but she has to share what niche she tried etc@@fourshore502
1500 listings 0,2$ each?
You could profit only if margin 10k$ on each
It's not about how many listings if they are the WRONG LISTING . Use Alex system to see what is trending then list those.
Bro is this true????
I've binged plenty of your videos today, and man, I am so thankful I found your channel. Keep making awesome content. Greetings from Germany!

@Alek does some of the best tutorials out there on POD
This is absolutely incredible Alek! Usually I don't comment but I just had to. The tip about batch editing in vela is so amazing. Thank you so much!
Thank you 🙏
Thanks Alek, I didn't know about that bulk editor going to go try it out!
I can't believe I got so hyped up about this just to find out Etsy is not supporting my country.

Welcome to capitalism. First time?

agree but if you look around these days in every subject it is over saturated with rubbish, just try to be the better than those😊

So what get over it
Pretty nice explanation. Just wonder the success ratio among 3 millions personalized mug on Etsy. I am not sure if any one can scroll down to the bottom to pick ours.
Be positive

AWESOME it really helped me
amazing vid!!! ty
Teach people this ,so that less and less quality and CARE is there .Fast money is also a way to fast loose everything:)
I subscribed.. I think your videos are great!!!!!
How great would it be to have a bulk upload tool with Printify?
You are AWESOME!!! TY
What’s the allure plugin?
It's a website called Alura, which I have a link for on my website :)
Is it okay to sell diferent type of products on the same store, e.g., mugs, shirts, jumpers etc.
I thought you had this process automated?
May I ask what you do for the Alt text descriptions under each mockup image? Do you edit these individually or does Vela work for these too? Wouldn't these need filled in manually beings as each product/image may be slightly different or do you not bother with filling these sections in at all?
I’ll take quality over quantity.
And the race to the bottom continues.

Also, even Printify state that their white mug starts from $4.40 - meaning it could cost even more ? 🤔😬
Yeah... thats an issue in your pricing. you can't sell something for 15,50, if your buy in is 14,44... seems logical right
How in the world do you find these programs? I have been putting off editing my listings bc of the time it was going to take me. You are awesome!!
great content. ty
Game changer 🎉🎉🎉
Where do you start to make your designs?
Hello Thank you. very cool tutorial.
Great info Alek. Thanks
But I have a question, with thousands of items for sale in every category how do I get the things I've made seen by anybody? I mean even if theres only 10,000 items in the category I'm making items, how do I keep from being 10,001 in the etsy list?
I don't think I got all the info.... Is that Figma or some other app you are using to create the designs? Anything else we have to know?
Hey Alek! Great video as usual. Big time saver. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing!

love it!
What type of files are you moving to printing? Transparent background?
thanks for this information.
how to add different products in same listing. like different mugs but selectable through 1 listing
Best videos!
How do you go about making one of those info pictures that you would add to every listing?
I love your videos Alex, I followed every thing that you said and opened up a digital shop on Etsy and they promptly suspended me. Any other platform you suggest? Thanks!
Why they did that?You know the reason?
Not yet, I didn't even know it was suspended until I tried to sign in. No email from them and no communication whatsoever.
This is my big fear. I did a training with another group, and they suggested that if you post more than 5 product postings a day, that can make the algorithm shut you down.

How many POD products a day do you aim to add to your Etsy store?
