I've been following your videos for a month; two weeks ago, I opened a POD shop on Etsy and started uploading items gradually to get the hang of it - I've added six items so far. Today, I made my first sale with a product I uploaded just yesterday. I couldn't believe it!
Vanessa's important comment is: 'It wasn't about us but about the customers and what they needed,' highlighting the need for sellers to focus on customer preferences rather than personal tastes.
Hi Cassiy, do you use Printify for your Print-on-demand business? Have you received a complaint yet regarding their print quality? If you haven't, then which one of their printer suppliers is the best when it comes to quality?
Hi Cassiy, I have a question. Do you provide returns and exchanges on your print on demand apparel store? If yes, do you have the customers return the items to a 3PL facility in USA which they later discard or to the print provider? Also if you don’t offer return and exchanges and if a customer send a message that the t-shirt side doesn’t fit them, what to do in that case? I would really appreciate your response on this questions, thanks!
Hi cassiy as a mum at home with kids and not having really done work from home do you think you could make a day in the life of cassiy johnson? how is your timetable and how do mums usually do a business when busy with housework and kids needs and a business?
Cassiy when you said (around the 6 min time mark) you started doubling down from another competitor-listing on different products, colors, ect Did you start changing up your main listing on t-shirts or added different types of apparel only or did you add to completely different products like candles, ornaments and totes bags? I get confused when we get told to stay in 3-5 niches only to get data and don’t get whinny object syndrome listing on multiple products until we mastered one sort of item. Ty
Great content as always! I'm curious: What's your recommendation for the ratio of non-customizable products vs customizable products vs group listings. Thank you.
Hi Cassiy, I've been watching your videos for a while. They're very educating and inspiring. Thank you very much. I have a question and need advice from you. I've a shop for over 2 years old but I've started focusing on it a few months ago with only 8 sales. I'd like to focus on sales, but after changing the main image and tags of one of my old listings, the listing became inactive on Etsy. Then Etsy sent an e-mail stating "Unfortunately, since your shop has multiple policy violations, you can’t earn Star Seller badges anymore. Keep in mind, if your shop violates Etsy's Creativity Standards again, your account will be suspended" What should I do? Shall I open a new shop?
I am so intimidated by personalization and group listings. This video is definitely an eye opener. My shop has just over 100 listings and I’ve been open for about a year with only 35 sales. I’ve been getting a little more views lately but, nowhere near what it would be if I can just get over that hurdle.
Thank you so much for this inspirational video Cassey, most needed today that I've been feeling kind of discourage with my process is like always something, like before was my nichs/designs and now that I finally getting better is the pricing, so many cheaper products than mine that's is making people leaving their products in their carts a significant amount of time. I meant I cant pricing my sweatshirts at 20 dollars when I don't even get it them at those prices. I don't know its can be hard at time.
I understand why people don't show their shop, but it would've been nice to know at least if she focused on one product with multiple niches, or one niche with multiple products. I would've also liked to have known how much of that 350k was profit, what she had to spend to get to 100 sales and what her spending scale-up looked like. Also just once I'd love to see someone interviewed who wasn't selling personalised stuff, as I won't be when I start in January.
No coaching for me just RUclips video and I am about to hit 2000 sales in 1.5 years. You just have to be consistent and add value. Do something unique that has not been done.
Thanks for the video. Cyecked the course link and have a question. If i'd want to have a review for my store, do I need to buy the whole course or there is another way to request it?
So what's up with Printful and Printify merging? Wondering what kind of headaches that might create?? Been working toward getting my own shop open and have had a lot of problems locating sources for the product I'd like to offer. Don't especially understand why either of these don't necessarily offer products that would compliment one another in sales! You would think that if you don't sell clothing, drinkware or blankets, there's no market for you in POD. Seems like a hole too deep to dig out of.
Hey Cassiy, thank you for everything you do! You provide so much incredible value. Quick question - In your opinion, is focussing on apparel the way to go to get to being 6 - 7 figure business?
yeah but is 3000 listings really that much with all the AI going on lately lol..mydesigns literally writes title, tags, description for me. I just gonna come up with the designs
Do you believe this? Or the poster just wants to viewers to come back again to increase bell rings. Is it possible both are in cajuts to gain subscribers? Did you notice successful stores ' images are blurred so you do not copy but yet she said she had ideas from competitors. Seeing is believing.
@gotogate26 not sure. I do put the c sign for copyright in some of my designs. She said she should see what vendors were selling and made her versions.
So many successful shop stories but never do they actually name their shop. These videos feel like glorified infomercials designed to get views, which is how they’re actually making their money.
Of course they don't, they don't want viewers coming in and copying shops item for item like so many do. It's to protect the shops in a way. And yes people definitely do this they find successful shops and copying everything, they may change a thing or two of a design but when you scroll through you will find pages of copies work.
I wish I could share success stories and share the shop but it’s just not possible without getting that shop stalked and their designs stolen. But I hope her interview provided the motivation that it’s still possible and some tips on what worked for her!
Even if you're not making it big your designs will get stolen. You, as a seller need to make peace with that because it is going to happen. It happened to me and I only have 124 sales but those sales were on 2 designs that btw were seasonal. I was upset in the beginning and contacted the stores that were copying, but soon I realized that it wasn't productive for me and was giving me a lot of anxiety. This is the main reason people don't share their stores. It is a wild world out there.
@@CassiyJohnsonexactly there are so many scammers on Etsy it's important to protect these successful shop owners that share their journeys. I'm extremely grateful for channels like yours that keep us inspired and focused on the potential shop we could have in the future, so thank you ❤
They aren't telling you their shop names because then everybody from here would go to their shop, click the listing and not buy anything, which, of course would lower their conversion rate, use up their ad spend money and get their designs copied/stolen. I'm not sure why people have such a hard time understanding this.

Congrats on your first sale!! Way to hit the ground running
after excluding etsy's transaction fees, the profit will be around 50k and that comes to be around 3000 usd per month
currently have 32 listings , 2months. changed my shop layout for about 3 times, still no sale, but will keep trying! we can do this guys!

Vanessa is crushing it!
Hey Rich! Thanks for stopping by to say hi
Wow Vanessa, fantastic success & hard work! Congrats🎉

Vanessa! It is so cool to see one of our POD Roadmap friends on Cassiy's video. I had no idea you were that successful! Hooray for you!
Hi cassiy as a mum at home with kids and not having really done work from home do you think you could make a day in the life of cassiy johnson? how is your timetable and how do mums usually do a business when busy with housework and kids needs and a business?
Worst part is Etsy keeps closing stores down for no reason and gives you the run around. I’ve been down for two months and been given the run around.
Cassiy when you said (around the 6 min time mark) you started doubling down from another competitor-listing on different products, colors, ect Did you start changing up your main listing on t-shirts or added different types of apparel only or did you add to completely different products like candles, ornaments and totes bags?

Thank you Cassiy and Vanessa! I was curious if Vanessa was running Etsy ads at all?
Would those 5k listings be in 1 shop? Or spread out over several shops? Thanks for your answer in advance! 🤗
Does the course give step by step on how to do customized listings and group listings?
I understand why people don't show their shop, but it would've been nice to know at least if she focused on one product with multiple niches, or one niche with multiple products. I would've also liked to have known how much of that 350k was profit, what she had to spend to get to 100 sales and what her spending scale-up looked like. Also just once I'd love to see someone interviewed who wasn't selling personalised stuff, as I won't be when I start in January.
@Cassiy do you charge the store reviews separately? or is it included in the course / coach?
No coaching for me just RUclips video and I am about to hit 2000 sales in 1.5 years. You just have to be consistent and add value. Do something unique that has not been done.
Cassiy, I really enjoy your videos! Do you offer 1 on 1 calls for advice and shop review? Or something similar?
Cassiy, I want to say thank you first of all because I get so much value from your videos! Do you still run your mentorship group? How can one join?
Thanks for the video. Cyecked the course link and have a question. If i'd want to have a review for my store, do I need to buy the whole course or there is another way to request it?
Great video…thank you🌸 really wish she was sharing about her ad strategy/budget too
So what's up with Printful and Printify merging? Wondering what kind of headaches that might create?? Been working toward getting my own shop open and have had a lot of problems locating sources for the product I'd like to offer.

Love this. Thank you ❤
can i use etsy traffic data in google analytics to google shopping ads
Did she have a general store or a niche specific?
Hey Cassiy, thank you for everything you do! You provide so much incredible value. Quick question - In your opinion, is focussing on apparel the way to go to get to being 6 - 7 figure business?
yeah but is 3000 listings really that much with all the AI going on lately lol..mydesigns literally writes title, tags, description for me. I just gonna come up with the designs
Lucky she didn't get suspended like i got yesterday, this whole thing is so sad
Whish product do you sell?
@JAOUADESSEBBARI shirts mainly
what is her shop name ?
Do you believe this? Or the poster just wants to viewers to come back again to increase bell rings. Is it possible both are in cajuts to gain subscribers? Did you notice successful stores ' images are blurred so you do not copy but yet she said she had ideas from competitors. Seeing is believing.
Nice try! Successful sellers never reveal that info. For obvious reasons.
@HelmetVanga of course they blur them. It would be copycat ripoff heaven otherwise. I mean, wouldn't you??
@gotogate26 not sure. I do put the c sign for copyright in some of my designs. She said she should see what vendors were selling and made her versions.
@HelmetVanga she means you find this by using research tools. Everbee and Alura would help with this.
So many successful shop stories but never do they actually name their shop. These videos feel like glorified infomercials designed to get views, which is how they’re actually making their money.

@ryanlafond9488 that makes sense. I didn't think of that. No reason to be a prick.
