As a new seller on Etsy, it's essential to recognize that certain categories, such as sewing patterns, AI-themed phone cases, classroom printables, Squarespace templates, wedding checklists, crochet patterns, and digital planners, are highly competitive, with over 1,000 sellers each. While these are viable markets, achieving significant returns often requires upfront investment in advertising to stand out, even if you approach them with a unique angle. Be prepared for these initial expenses as part of establishing your brand and gaining traction in these crowded niches.
Awesome video, thanks! I read an article by Printify the other day. They were talking about how to start a cell phone case business, and they said now is a good time to start because of the new phones that came out. They said by 2029, the global mobile phone case market is expected to reach $33.70 billion.
If it's too easy: Getting ai to make you a pattern and putting on a simple ecommerce platform that automates everything for you, the niche will get super-saturated almost immediately. If it's easy for you requiring no specialized skills, then your competition is nearly 10 Billion people. Good luck to you, you may find a sub niche and get lucky for a bit until the market fills in your underserved niche, but in my long experience on the Internet, long-term success comes with offering the best of something, not trying to be one of the 116,000 knitting pattern designers on Etsy.
so on what are based this assumption, i just continue to the next store if this stop working and i make in my country only website to sell digital products, completely separate from Etsy which is the other saver when Etsy go down..
@@raynaivanova7969 if your country has no eccomerce stores and you're going to make a new Etsy you have at it. I wish you all the luck in the world. I've just been around online long enough to know what I said in my OP is true. If it's easy for you despite not having advanced skills, it's easy for billions of other ppl too, leading to an oversaturated market.
But if you sell patterns but don't know how to sew, how can you control the quality of the pattern you buy ? And how do you handle customer service if they have questions ?
You're asking the real questions. Everyone wants to sell overnight success stories, but they're just unrealistic. There's the problem that you can't control quality or answer questions and what's more you could buy a stolen pattern from Fiver or wherever and you'd be legally responsible for selling it. Sites like Fiver are known for having a lot of scammers and building a business around them is really not advisable. That's what I think, at least.
Playground is now on a limited free plan one time (just to update you). I would say Leonardo is really good if you know how to prompt (not simple prompts). There are actually four that are really good, but you have to try and see where your skills are vs the outcomes.
I also want to add you HAVE TO UPSCALE your AI images so, it is not as simple as creating an image and then uploading. You cannot come along and take some image that anybody could peruse and do themselves. You have to find a NICHE and then build a brand. I can almost guarantee you will not succeed if you have no actual artistic talent and skills that most do not have. That will entail going to various sites and building an audience OUTSIDE of Etsy. You will very likely fail if you do not do these things and have a discerning style and a notable brand. The easier it is for anyone to do these things, the harder it will be to make any money. Also, important to know that people making a lot of sales and junk items (cell cases) return them. You can put no returns but then people can contest this with their credit card. I have read that a LOT of stores that sell a lot also have a lot of returns think if you can and want to absorb the costs which can be very high. Then you get stuck with lots of inventory. These are just things to consider BEFORE you embark on an Etsy journey.
No, but the image you use to create the phone case will be digital. Not the same thing, but it's not something you have to handcraft at home with physical tools and supplies either.
Anybody wants to partner up for a etsy store im actually in venezuela so thats why i dont open the store my self but i have time and motivation to make some pdf for digital products.
Yes would be interested…contact me would like to hear what you have in mind…I am new to Etsy but would also like to start so maybe if we partner up we can make it 😊
Hi Jason, do you know anything about printing pop up shop. I never hear anyone talking about it and wondering if it is something that works well? Thanks great videos
Please show income thats not from etsy, or website store. Because etsy is not available in India. Please atleast put one video make money for Indians or south asian people.

It’s good to see new ideas, but success will depend on how well you market and differentiate your products.
The first store has 1 year and 7 months to be exact. A huge difference. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you Jason, This was very informative and inspiring.
When it comes to counting the profit margins you don’t add Etsy’s fees. Why? If the product sells for 40$ you’ll get about $34
But if you sell patterns but don't know how to sew, how can you control the quality of the pattern you buy ? And how do you handle customer service if they have questions ?

It feels like there are tons of fake sales...

GREAT VIDEO!!! Thank you
Please make video free tools for etsy shop. Love from india 🇮🇳
Great video Jason, you're currently offering any private coaching services. If so, how can I get in touch with you to learn more?
The second product of phone cases is not digital download
No, but the image you use to create the phone case will be digital. Not the same thing, but it's not something you have to handcraft at home with physical tools and supplies either.
hey you are so useful but can you explain how to create a whole digital product system? I mean the whole process of it?
Anybody wants to partner up for a etsy store im actually in venezuela so thats why i dont open the store my self but i have time and motivation to make some pdf for digital products.
Yes would be interested…contact me would like to hear what you have in mind…I am new to Etsy but would also like to start so maybe if we partner up we can make it 😊
Count me in, I'm from India.
I'm thinking about doing pod stuff on either Shopify or Fourthwall.
Hola hermano, yo soy de Canarias y también estoy creando una tienda, pero en redbubble
I am interested in a partner I'm in process of opening 2 business right now.
I'd love to start a business with a partner
Maybe all 4 of us could have a talk
Hello, i didnt understand the designing of phone cases. You make only the design and you sell the design or you have to make the case as well?
Hi Jason, do you know anything about printing pop up shop. I never hear anyone talking about it and wondering if it is something that works well?
Thanks great videos
Hey Jason! I'm from India, is there any way that I can setup an Etsy shop and sell to United States?
Yes I have same question
Yes you can…
How come most teacher on YT is base in us? Makes me abit anxious to follow the direction as I’m from UK
That leaves a market open for you to be a teacher in the UK. What are you good or knowledgeable at?
Etsy isn't available in Pakistan. Please share another platform half as good as etsy.
Gumroad
Ebay.
how do you market it tho?
Can we buy the pdf crochet pattern and resale them?
No
only if the seller makes the “rights to resell” available.
wha informations, please can you dig deeply for any of these niche in your next video
"A crowded market just means the market's profitable"
🙄
Thanks for sharing ❤
Thank you very much Jason for this great idea. Perfekt.
Please show income thats not from etsy, or website store. Because etsy is not available in India. Please atleast put one video make money for Indians or south asian people.
U necessarily don't have to use Etsy. Use these ideas but I'm a different way. there should be a popular site in India you can sell on
Is there anyone who wants to pratner with me bcz i cant establish my shop being from India. I can hwlp you create amazing products
In the cellphone example, I think it's more realistic for beginners to be using printify basic.
bro shhhhhhh
Why
