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.
You have not explained the most important part, which is how to receive orders, how to package, how to respond, how to send the package to customer, how to receive fund, and how to troubleshoot in case of any problem.
Haha i think those are much later issues tho, this video is trying not to overwhelm/discourage people from starting. She has other videos that cover those questions!
Steps discussed in the first four mins 1. Decide what you want to sell 2. Establish your business 3. Decide on your branding 4.Prepare marketing materials 5.Legal steps for business establishment
I love the way you incorporated the commercial. Didn’t even realize it until few secs into it. Normally I would skip it but this I watched as it was snuck in but informative.
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!!!
Hi Eva! So sorry you’ve been through so much to find this new season in life! Happy to hear that we can encourage you and help your start your own business! Cheering you on friend! 💛
@@KateHayes thank you for your compassionate words. Yes I’ve been through a lot and it gets hard but through much experience I’ve learned there is much beauty and blessings behind it all. Like meeting sweet new people that bless you with wisdom that can help you along the way to succeed. Thanks again so very much Kate. May you overflow with many blessings!!
I really want to turn my hobby of collecting vintage items into a business, but I've been so scared to start! This video really helped break down the steps. Thank you for making this!
If you have an item available in multiple colors, do you recommend making a listing per color or one main listing with the list of variations? I feel like more listings might increase the odds of people seeing your product in the actual color they want...
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 :)
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!
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 ?
depends, it’s state to state it would be considered income tax meaning it’s a state tax, in NY i think it’s about $1,000 or more is when you have to file it
My reasons for closing my shop after a relationship with Etsy for 15 years is that in the end my monthly expenses are around 20% and now they are saying due to new regulations they require my bank account user name and password. I kid you not! I'm done.
Hi thanks a lot for all the valuable advice😊I’m just curious, do you have to register for property rights like trademarks, copyright & protected designs on your work before listing?
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.
You mentioned adding listings in handmade or digital, but didn't describe what to do with vintage. I don't know what to do with the partner question. I have no partner and my items are all vintage and antique. I'm stuck on that step.
I started an etsy store not long ago, unfortunately, i have had some other things going on. I went to have a look and I had make 2 sales. I was so chuffed. Now for more product listings
Hi Kate! We are starting a lazer engraving where we will engrave on wood, glass, metal & Acrylic for Weddings, Anniversary, Birthdays, any Partyings and also we will doing custom cakes topers. Would we go under handmade or under craft supplies???
Hi Kate 👋 thanks so much for all the tips, they’ve been so helpful to me!! I have designed a digital planner, haven’t listed that on Etsy yet, I’m a bit scared and want to make sure to do it right. Do you advise to make the planner fillable on PdfEscape in case there is people that don’t use GoodNotes or other programmes to be able to use the Planner? Thanks a million ❤
Can you please make video on the two Etsy selling app? Which one do you use or recommend? There’s not much information on that anywhere. PLEASE HELP. 🚨
I have a question regarding the quantity of products being held in the shop, if you only have one particular item in stock and more then one person likes it and wishes to buy it, what would be the best way to respond?
Say I was making soap, but I was melting down a pack of unscented soap I bought from Michaels, adding an essential oil like doterra to the soap or maybe a pigment too. I didn’t make the raw unscented soap, I didn’t make the essential oil. Is that still ok or am I thinking too hard
You can sell vintage items(20+ years old), such as vintage jewelry on Etsy. I would recommend to do some research and see how other shops in this niche are performing :)
I wish I could get past setting up an Etsy account. I'm stuck on the shipping part. I have three shipping profiles-can't delete any of them, can't get human help and can't move forward from the shipping errors. I was hoping your video might help. I'm ready to give up and just go door to door to sell my walnut castle leg end table with zebra wood inlay. Maybe Ebay would be a bit more user-friendly than spending this last week spinning my wheels? Please let me know what you think?
Have a question about looking what's popular when searching on Etsy. My product is like no other BUT it brings kids shirts and jewelry together so it xould technically be listed but mostly on the jewelry side. I don't want to get into detail about it. 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?
Thank you so much! You are very easy to understand. Wish you could set me up lol 😊I want to open up a Etsy business with my crafts. I’m just so intimidated & computer illiterate
Hey leeleescraps. I see you want to open an Etsy shop business and you don't know how to go about it. I'm a freelancer and I can help you in setting up your store
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.
Thank you for straight forward information - I am still unsure - I wanted my shop related to celebrations ie. Christmas - but include cups shirts and other all related / now for Christmas - I have also seen shops that have a second page fade in separating niche' - do you recommend ie t shirts / cups etc..
Hello there What if your not a business and just a hobbiest trying to just get your money back you have payed out on materials and you want to plough money back in to your hobbies and perfecting your crafts and skills ?I sell on ebay and it’s growing but now they holding me hostage for promoting my listings and charging me that extra percentage fee and now that I don’t use that option my sales have slowed up and I get a sale every now again .like I say I’m not a business nor self employed purely hobbies and learning my craft…. Thank you Good vid /info 🙏🇬🇧
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!
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.
Hey Kate I just created my Etsy shop in attempt to sell T-shirts and I have connected it with print on demand to assist in selling. However I am lost on how to get started more so on which application do I use to sell and how it works. Is there a way I could pay you for a 15-20 min zoom session so I you could visualize show me what I need to do? That would be a big help
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??
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!
Hi Katie. I’m Deb from Dallas. I’m trying to get a photo that has a red triangle superimposed on the top left hand corner withtewordNEW for a ew product listing. Not one pro knows how to do this seemingly easy task I have a photo I want to use, but it’s too big to top down for the primary listing photo. I am at my wits end. Any axe
This was helpful but now I am not sure what todo. I make coco cones and I use items I purchase from the store like hot choclate, bags, toppings and marshmallows. is that going to be okay with etsy?
Hey friend, Etsy has multiple help articles on selling food, and of course information about it in the seller handbook. Here’s an article that might be helpful: www.etsy.com/seller-handbook/article/1063591936651
Hello Kate. Excellent video! I have a dilemma where I started setting up my shop, named it, and followed all the step leading up to the business portion. This was back in Jan or Feb 2024. 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. Do you have any knowledge of this or what I can do?
Hello! I had an idea of selling clothing that I wax/waterproof myself, would a new carhartt jacket that I take and wax be considered a handmade item? Thanks!!

Do I have to register my Etsy shop as a business and pay taxes when I sell digital products?
In the US, you're expected to report your online income as it is still income. Not just profit but any expenses
In the US anything over 600$ per year you have to file taxes on.
unless u a minor
depends, it’s state to state it would be considered income tax meaning it’s a state tax, in NY i think it’s about $1,000 or more is when you have to file it

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??
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!
Hi, so where do I go to get my license?
Thank you! You brought up several things I hadn’t even considered before I start. 😊 very helpful
Yay! So glad this video could help you!
Hi Katie. I’m Deb from Dallas. I’m trying to get a photo that has a red triangle superimposed on the top left hand corner withtewordNEW for a ew product listing. Not one pro knows how to do this seemingly easy task I have a photo I want to use, but it’s too big to top down for the primary listing photo. I am at my wits end. Any axe
This was helpful but now I am not sure what todo. I make coco cones and I use items I purchase from the store like hot choclate, bags, toppings and marshmallows. is that going to be okay with etsy?
Hey friend, Etsy has multiple help articles on selling food, and of course information about it in the seller handbook. Here’s an article that might be helpful: www.etsy.com/seller-handbook/article/1063591936651
Hello Kate. Excellent video! I have a dilemma where I started setting up my shop, named it, and followed all the step leading up to the business portion. This was back in Jan or Feb 2024. 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. Do you have any knowledge of this or what I can do?
Hello! I had an idea of selling clothing that I wax/waterproof myself, would a new carhartt jacket that I take and wax be considered a handmade item? Thanks!!
Hi Kate, if I start out as a Sole Proprietary can I later change it to an LLC after I know this business is going to work for me?
Thank you
Don
Yes!
Very cool! Cheers 🍻

How do you get shipping materials or shipping bags and postage for t shirts.
I was thinking about painting or embroidering on already manufactures items. Do you know if this would violate any terms through Etsy?
Hello Have you seen any one doing this on their etsy store?
What about paying taxes? And can I sell something if I live in Asia?
