In this 1-hour tutorial, I show you how to start an Etsy shop selling digital products from scratch (FULL TUTORIAL going over market research, choosing niche, template design, creating listing photos + video, cover banner design, Etsy policies, how to upload 1st listing to Etsy). If you've been wanting to sell digital downloads or Canva templates on Etsy, this is the video for you.
[Update July 31, 2023] I closed my LuluCreativeHouse shop because it's required that I disclose my other shops publicly on my profile. I'm not willing to disclose my first Etsy shop, nor risk both of them getting closed, so I closed the Lulu one.

My previous comment has dissapeared and I don't know why. Anyway, thank you for a great tutorial and here's it is: 3px8KDN
Thanks so much for this video! Here's my code: 3JMMYma
My 2 key takeaways: 1) Just do it lah and stop over analysing and thinking; 2) Need to invest to make returns. Great guide! Newbies like myself really appreciate what you’re doing for your community. Let’s share, learn and become successful together!🙏
LOVE THIS!!!!!
This is one of the most in depth videos we've seen going over the entire process! Such a game changer for those who are just starting 👏🏼
So happy to hear that!!! I hope so!
Never stop making quality contents like this . This is what makes you different from others
Awww thank you!
Yea she's the best ❤️
Hi, It seems you are a Nigerian. Do you have an Etsy account?
It seems it does not have Nigeria listed.
Watching this while at work and taking notes! Passive income is a must
Aww glad you're taking notes!! Good luck on your shop!
Dude I started this while doing chores around the house. Now I’m sitting at my desk taking notes. Serving all the premium juice tonight. Thank you!!
Hahahaha! That's the funniest comment I've seen in a while. Yeah you can't really just listen to this video because of all the demos 🤣
Thank you Dina for giving us such content! You are saving a lot of time for the beginners!❤
Happy to hear you enjoyed it!!
Thank you so much for taking all that time to create such a wonderful, informative and very helpful video. I am sure along with me, there are truck loads of followers and newbies who appreciate it very much :)
Always providing so much value!!!
I'm a little late to the party, but thank you for this video! I made the mistake of rushing into making my etsy shop just yesterday, but this tutorial really helped. I never took into account of all the things you mentioned before launching my shop. I guess we all start somewhere. Please continue to make more great content like this :))
Glad it was helpful!!! I have a lot more tutorials so you can check out my Etsy playlist! Good luck!
Dina! I've been watching your videos since you first started and wow I am so thankful to have someone like you creating such informative and helpful videos! I've already started my first "experimental" Etsy shop on a whim just to "go for it" and learn from my mistakes. I thought I would already know most of the information you would have on this video but I learned so much valuable information as I am currently working on my second shop (completely different niche) so thank you for making this video for people like us (:
Awww I'm so happy to hear that! So glad you're finding my videos helpful thank you for watching. Good luck on your Etsy shop! 🙌❤️
Loved the level of detail and realistic breakdown of everything!
Glad you liked it!❤️
This is so refreshing to watch, thank you for this!!! I keep seeing people make market research look so easy and completed within less than an hour. It took me around a week to find a niche because I also work in accounting so it didn’t seem feasibly possible for me. I thought I was crazy and the only one spending hours (days) for market research. I love the transparency and reality :( of how much work it actually takes. I just found your page but I will def be watching more of your content!
Aww thank you SO MUCH! Yeah, market research (for me, at least) takes sooo long because I want to make sure that what I'm gonna commit to is something that 1) I can realistically do and 2) there's demand for it. I wish it could take shorter! Haha
@DinaLu YOU ARE FREAKING AMAZING!! I pray for prosperity for you!! Thank you so much for this video ❤
OMG AWW Thank you so much Ashley!!!!
EXCELLENT VIDEO, THANK YOU!!❤ Most useful thing is how thorough and you covered every minute....people take for granted that shorter videos cut out so much info and steps, it really doesnt show how to get started!!!
Thank you SO MUCH!!!!! Glad you found it useful! Yes I wanted to make a really in-depth video that covers everything, because when I was researching how to start an Etsy shop months ago, I didn't find detailed tutorials.
Thanks for the time invested into creating this video and new store for the people Dina! I empathise that it is a lot of work and want you to know that your efforts are not wasted and greatly appreciated. Hope you're living your dream life digital nomadding the way you want. this is my goal too.
Thank you so much!!! This means a lot to me.
Pretty sure the Universe decided I need you and your tutorials in my life 🤩 Thank you so much for these tutorials and very-good-earthly-practical business advices
Aww, thank you so much!!! 💕 So glad to hear this, good luck!
This is exactly what i needed to help guide me to start. Ive never been so impressed with someone creating a youtube video on how to do something. I appreciate you so much you dont even know! Ill be watching so many more videos and investing time into this with the help from you!
Awww that means so much to me because when I created this video, I set out to create "the best Etsy tutorial for digital products that ever existed" !
Thank you so much for this video, Dina! I enjoyed watching you. Very clear and informative!
Glad it was helpful!
Dina, you are amazing and I really hope you get rewarded a million times over for all your high quality content and your genuine desire to help people out.
Awww thank you so much!!! I appreciate you so much!
I love this in depth tutorial and your free resources! I started creating my first 4 Etsy listings and it took me hours but it's all about consistency. Thank you for this awesome tutorial!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! And yes hahaha it takes me hours too
Updates?
Thanks for sharing all of your process in this new shop, you said something that got me and you just made me think and reevaluate my situation, l’m not the only one in this boat, I think all of us who are trying something new many thoughts come to our minds and most of them aren’t pretty so thanks for encourage me ❤
Omg so glad to hear that! Yes, it's ALL mindset!
Yes yes yes yes yesss!!! I’ve been hoping you were going to create a video like this and my wish came true 😭 you are such a good teacher
Haha your wish came true! So happy you enjoyed the video ♥️ and thank you
One of the best videos I've watched - thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us and being so real and relatable!
This means so much to me, thank you!
I am SO glad this popped up in my recommended, this video is truly priceless! I can listen to people tell me what I'm supposed to do and show me short clips of their process all day but seeing someone actually do it from start to finish including your thought process is 100x more useful and motivational imo. I wasn't even planning on watching all of this straight away but I've just finished it and I'm already starting my market research to find a niche! I'm truly grateful you decided to make and post this video and be so transparent with your whole process, thank you 🙏❤ I subbed within like the first few minutes of the video btw
Awww I'm SOO happy to hear this! Good luck on your Etsy shop!
@@DinaLu Thank you 😊
Thank you for this advice. I really can't describe how useful this is for those of us who are just starting out and have no idea what to do. :)
You are so welcome!
This is a great roadmap to get a sense of what kind of work is involved with selling digital products. Thanks for this!
Aww so happy to hear this!!!
This is great. Thank for your efforts!
Love this. I'm a body image coach so i want to make a supplemental shop in that same niche, but this is gonna help me research and get creative with the products i sell.
That's awesome! Good luck Tiffany!
Dina.... I have been watching all sorts of videos looking into making money online. Thank you for this video. You do NOT gatekeep at all. I just watched this video all the way thru, and I can't wait to go implement everything I just learned. It's the most descriptive video on starting an Etsy shop that I have seen.
SO glad to hear this!!! Glad it was useful!
THANK YOU for your painstaking labor and detail in sharing this with all of us- really a GIFT. You're amazing!
You are so welcome!!! Haha yes it was a lot of work 🤣
This was the BEST video EVER!!! I truly appreciate what it took to put this video together!! I took many notes and will continue to watch more of your videos for sure! Now that I see a clear path, I can do the work. You are amazing! Thank you soooo much!

Quick Question
Do you get the PLR or the MRR rights when you create to sell on Canva ?
Where can I find that information or can you make a video about that?
making sure I'm doing things the right way.
Thank you again for your time @@DinaLu
@@motivationmichelle86 I don't know too much about PLR/MRR so sorry I can't help with that!
@@DinaLu Thank you for being honest
With the products that you showed in
do I have the right to sell digital products using Canva?
Hi Dina Lu ! ❤ This video was very helpful. Thank you for your time and effort you put into this video. I know you closed the shop recently but what were your sales like prior to closing ?
I had 3 sales haha. 1 was from a subscriber and I have no idea about the other 2.
Of all the tutorial videos I've watched these days. This one is the most accurate! Thank you for making this kind of video and please continue sharing.
SO happy to hear this!!! Glad it was useful!
Great video, Dina. I’m so excited about getting started. Thank you! ❤
Thank you, and good luck!!
Wow... that was very complete! I already have 2 shops, but i found your video very interesting, just because everyone has a different way to make product research or whatever else... it was really interesting watching you doing this. And I think I can integrate some tips you gave to upgrade the way I'm doing it 😁 also good luck with this new shop, I really hope you'll make money of it, double win ! 😉
Awww thank you!!! And wow I should be learning from YOU! Glad you found it helpful :)

Aww yay glad it was helpful ♥️
Thanks, Dina! ✨😊 Don´t even want to know how many hours it took to create this video, helps a lot.
At least 20 (for the video itself, not including the 12 hours I spent on working on the shop)! 😅
Thank you so much for this!! ❤ I love being able to follow a guide so I love that you went through every detail of opening your shop and provided us with your checklist.
You're so welcome!😊
Girl I'm in the first minute of this video and feel like I already know it's gonna have a wealth of information. Thank you so much!
Awww yay 😁
The most important step is how you market your products and how you drive traffic to your stores. Can youshow us your process on this? Thanks
