      I am thinking of selling on Etsy some gilt and metal bracelets that I designed myself. I have, so far, only made five or six bracelets. I wonder whether Etsy would accept them.

    Thank you so much in helping me know where to start and not feel so overwhelmed with trying to make and sell items. I’m a dislocated homemaker that has to find a new less physical type of income due to recent physical limitations. I’ve worked very hard all my life in back breaking work and since corporate settings aren’t want they use to be I became desperate to find some kind of work I could do at home for the most part. Learning to run a successful business and knowing the ins and outs you definitely provide all the information and tools to make it possible. I’ve listened to another Etsy video but it wasn’t much help and more discouraging and overwhelming. Loved that you broke it all down step by step and how to make it happen!!! Thanks again Kate!!!

    Thank you once again for all of your wonderful videos! I am currently in the process of establishing a relationship with suppliers (two different print on demand companies) and am 9 days away from going live on my first ETSY shop. I am currently beyond overwhelmed, especially in tweaking my designs and photographs, receiving sample products, and shipping times. I have re-watched your videos numerous times and have to say this process would not have gone half as well for me if I hadn't. One larger question I have would be once I go onto ETSY and register, how long is the process for filling out all of my page information, product descriptions, and connections to POD's? I am allowing myself 3 to 4 days for everything on my shop to be uploaded (including all of my listings), is this to short of a time frame? Your are greatly appreciated :)

    • @KateHayes
      @KateHayes  2 года назад +8

      Hey Lori! Wow, SO exciting!! Sounds like you’re on a great path for launching your shop! I’d say it depends how many hours you’re planning on working on all of this for those 3-4 days. It can be quite a time consuming process so I’d definitely say set aside full days if you can! Maybe just run through the process for one or two listings to get an idea of how long it will take you? The good thing is that you can make “copies” of similar listings and just tweak to reflect the differences if you have listings with a lot of the same information. So excited for you!! 🤩👏

    I just started selling digital products on Etsy... YAY! I just received my first sale and did a test sale to make sure everything went smoothly. Quick question: How do I set up in my shop manager the automatic message that goes out to a customer asking for a review? The email that says.. Jennifer, you have a new item to review. I thought Etsy automatically did it but I never received one from them for my test order. Google search isn't helping. TIA!

    • @blossomaramide1023
      @blossomaramide1023 2 года назад +1

      Oh yeah
      You have to set up an email marketing contact form for that
      If you have this marketing automation step you can get more subscribers to your shop and you will be notified about the order being placed
      When they contact you, you can send updates
      Someone told me that and she does it well and is currently using it for my ETSY shop which is doing great, I send out the latest updates and provide reasonable content
      Would you mind if I introduce you to her ?

I stopped at that point because I didn't have a business checking account at that time. A couple of months later after I obtained a business checking account, I tried to go back in and complete the shop setup and it tells me the name I chose for my shop has already been taken! I reached out to the help people and told them it's been taken, but by ME because I never finished the process! They don't seem to understand what I'm telling them.

    • @KateHayes
      @KateHayes  Год назад +2

      You don’t have to- technically anything you create you automatically have intellectual property rights to. However, having official “proof” (registered trademark/copyright) serves you well in the case of a legal issue arising. Most sellers don’t actually register for this but you definitely can if you feel the need to.

Let's just make up a product like a cute pin you can put on your shirt. The pin would be considered jewelry(in my case) but then it attaches to shirts. How do you research this type of thing? It's not kids clothing but connects to it. Do I make sense?

    Hi Kate, thanks for the video(s) , i have been doing the research for my products and I would like what are your thoughts regarding signing up for Creative Market membership , or just buy as needed? Thank you again!

    • @KateHayes
      @KateHayes  2 года назад

      Hey friend! I’d say it depends on how much you anticipate on using it/ purchasing things from them. The membership might make sense financially if you plan to be using it regularly.

    Is separating yourself from the Etsy business necessary? Can you do it under your own name without an LLC?

    • @KateHayes
      @KateHayes  Год назад

      You can choose to be a sole proprietor or an LLC. An LLC is not necessarily required, but it can be good to protect yourself in that way once your shop starts growing. Most sellers start as sole proprietors though.

  • @justprincessnena
    @justprincessnena 2 года назад +1

    You mentioned reselling🤔 I have a question. As someone interested in selling digital products, my intent was to purchase extended license for commercial use of already made graphic design and then edit with whatever it is I am going to type on it. That's something I wouldn't be able to sell on Etsy??

    • @KateHayes
      @KateHayes  2 года назад

      It really depends. I was referring to just buying and reselling physical manufactured goods that the Etsy seller has no hand in crafting or designing. If you create your own digital product with a design you come up with (altering templates, etc to be your own counts), that is totally fine!

    If anyone can answer my question I would be super grateful. I am trying to set up an Etsy shop selling digital prints, but I’m confused on the sizing. I know that when someone makes a purchase, they will be sent a link to follow and download. How can I make multiple sizes and have it all included in the one link so they can download whatever size they need? ( I hope this makes sense).

    • @KateHayes
      @KateHayes  2 года назад +1

      Thanks friend! Whether or not you accept returns is totally up to you. Just keep in mind that buyers will feel more confident making the purchase if they know they can return if they need to. With that said, I’d say it depends on the type of product- completely custom orders most times are not able to be returned, etc.

  • @aaroncampbell4403
    @aaroncampbell4403 7 месяцев назад

    I don’t know if I would agree with the last comment about pricing low at first and basically breaking even or making small profit, then raising prices, selling less and making more profit. If I sell items at 2.50$ and sell 20, I make the same if I sell at 5.00$ and sell 10 items.

    • @KateHayes
      @KateHayes  7 месяцев назад

      I hear you friend. The purpose of this is to build a momentum of sales on your listing to help it rank higher. You should eventually raise prices when you’re selling more consistently

    Hi, I noticed that on Etsy, when it comes to the the list beneath the Variations section, there's the empty boxes on the left-hand side(plz don't get it confused with the right hand side beneath the "visible" sign). I've connected my printify account with etsy but I actually don't understand what those left side boxes mean and whether I should tick them because in all the tutorials I've watched they left them empty. It was something that made me consider asking chat gbt and it said I should tick those boxes. Now I'm confused. FYI it's just a top with 4 different colours and sizes.
    I really appreciate any response.
