This video is crazy-valuable, the only thing you didn't do is physically make the Etsy store for people! Anyone who doesn't take advantage of this info to start their own Etsy store (especially in the second niche) is nuts! Thanks, Hannah! 🤩
You really do inspire me in every way of my life, be blessed always....I hope I will be blessed by using your business work ideas ...Thank you for sharing your knowledge ♥️
Hey that discovery is all apart of the process I went back and forth for months before I finally just went for it with my frist brand! thank you for watching :]
I literally have been working on number 2: for about 2 months. Securing all the inventory takes sometime for sure but a niche I am definitely excited for ❤ I literally use a barcode scanner for every single item
Are you selling handmade items only? I'm just going to use etsy for pod products because I don't think it's worth it for to spend so much time on my art and too get less than 50 percent margin
You can go high ticket with your art if you think it is something that will sell! It may have lower search volume but if it hits the algorithm right it could work too
I loved the ideas you put forward in this video. I especially loved the gift box idea because I'm a crafty person and I make so many things which would be kind of a nightmare to put them all in one store. You just solved my probelm because I can bundle them in different varieties in a gift box. THANK YOU!!!
I love that you give such applicable advice. I am pretty new at this and was wondering how do you offer tiers on a listing within Etsy. When I am completing a listing I don’t see an option for that. Would you be able to show us that in more detail? I know you mention it a lot. Maybe I missed it?!
Hannah, thank you for another awesome video! So many insights and I love your delivery style too. I wonder if you'd be kind enough to share a video or some written comments helping me to better understand how you go about inventory management please? I'm so intrigued about the one click option for bundling, but I'm not sure how that works with a POD store (I get it for physical inventory you have at hand).
Thank you so much for the love and commenting! For print on demand, you will not have this issue with inventory since your inventory is technically endless, but you do want to make listings that incentivize group sales like the one I showed you in the video :-)
I didn't know you could add different t-shirt options to one listing, like the example of the toddler tee vs. the adult tee. Do you have a video that shows how to do that? Or instead of linking it from the print on demand store, are sellers adding it in on the Etsy side instead and then going in and manually fulfilling that order? Also, thank you for this video. I have really wanted to do kind of a bi-monthly subscription box but with my finances that may be a little tough to get out there. These gift boxes are the perfect way to test the water... so appreciated! I'm so this notification made it to my phone!
Awesome video Hannah! So many details and hacks. Etsy sellers have opportunities for sure. Thanks especially for the tools, because great tools help to implement the idea better, even more, with some tools, more ideas can come up. Some Esty newbies don't know how to start and how to grow their store and your ideas work. From our experience, boxes really matter.
How important do you think product descriptions are? For me, as a customer, I just want to see the pictures and the specifications. I wonder how much attention people, especially men, pay to the listing's description. If you think they are important it would be great if you did a video on composing descriptions for Etsy :D
You want to explain exactly what the customer is getting especially if you have a drop down menu, it just covers you if the customer ever wants to come back and complain. It also helps so you can include more keywords in your listing.
@EcomHannah Trying to learn all I can. Lots of good info on your channel. You are really good at presenting it. I wish I would have started when I was your age. I'm almost 40 now. I'd be a millionaire lmao. Thanks for sharing. Each one teach one 🙌
Hi Hannah, Thank you so much for the insightful ideas. I would like to ask if you can recommend a good engraver for jewelry. I would really appreciate it. Thank you
Concerning the holiday / event store, how we would be able to define a costumer avatar if we will try to sell to everybody ? isn't it what most valuable youtubers advocate to niche down in order to have a well defined customer avatar so that we can have good average and Recurring clients ? If you help in this matter it would be much appreciated
So a holiday specific store is super niche more niche then most POD stores. I wouldn’t recommend just doing Christmas only or something like that. Not all niches have high return customer rate where if you are selling stickers or something B2B you have a super high RCR. Buyers looking for holiday specific merch is pretty specific but if you want to narrow it down even further you can I just wouldn’t recommend for POD model specifically since it is better to scale horizontally
Great video, Hannah! Going into 2023 and per your experience so far in POD, What are your thoughts on focussing on a single POD vertical like apparels(t-shirts, hoodies, socks) and then creating designs for multiple niches like sports and outdoor enthusiasts designs, dog dad and dog moms, baby & mom tees for this single POD vertical ? Or would you suggest sticking to only 1 niche rather like a POD store for dog owners and selling different POD items like tees,mugs,stickers, hoodies etc for multiple breeds and multiple designs on this store? I believe going into 2023 it will be extremely important as a store owner to go all in on presence on social media channel due to increased competition on Etsy so I am thinking if I focus only on 1 niche then it would be much better for my social media strategies but would like to hear your thoughts on the above since you have years of experience in this POD space, thanks ahead of time!
I have to agree with you I think the deeper and more creative you can go with one specific customer avatar in mind is better then trying to produce for anyone. BUT a lot of people take the other broad approach too. If it was me though and starting for the first time I would do like you said and go as deep as I can speaking to one customer before trying to branch out.
@@EcomHannah Thanks Hannah! Just 1 last questions,I have a goal of making 1000 listings within 1 month on Etsy since have time to work on my store full-Time, is this is a good goal to pursue?
Thank you Hannah, great information. Can I ask you how to handle returns? Since it’s a POD, it can’t be returned to say, Printify…would a no returns policy hurt sales?
what's your opinion on kittl or placeit atm i,m using canva but thinking about switching but not sure would love your advice thanks. I,m glad i found your channel will definitely watch more videos in the future.
For beginners do you think the printify mockups are good enough to use for a etsy store or should I try to find mockups elsewhere. I don't kind paying for mockups I just need to know what's best
I would not use the white background ones from printify, it’s better to be competitive from the get go! You want to set your self up for the best case scenario
When you say that you can't sell similar items in two shops, does that mean that if you sell women's t-shirts for example, you can't also have an etsy shop for men's t-shirts or holiday themed shirts and you would need to offer these all under one shop? Or just that you can't have two shops selling womens shirts? Thanks for clarifying!!
That one I am not totally sure because I am not sure if Etsy would categorize POD under one roof I would open a case with etsy and ask them directly to be sure and have it documented on their response so if you do end up opening 2 you have it on file they told you it was okay
If you start a P.O.D shop on Etsy can you sell other specialty products you personally keep in house & mail to the customer? My question is: Can you have both selling option styles in 1 shop or is it 1 method or the other? Thank You.
That is totally fine you def want the overall store vibe to flow instead of putting a bunch of products under one roof that does not make sense for the brand!
Hi thanks for your tips, does the 20% off sales samurai link work only for the US? I am trying to sign up using your link but it does not show me the 20% off (I am in Europe) thanks!
Yes, I will say however Ecom is a blend of having an artistic capability but then also a business mindset. It’s kind of like the architect, and the engineer you can make a building look super beautiful, but if it doesn’t function on an engineer standpoint, then it doesn’t matter.
I love most of your content but the advice to list as fast as possible is false. That will just tank your conversion rate. It takes Etsy 1-3 months to rank your listings. If someone was to upload a 1000 listings in 3 or even 6 months. That person's conversion would suck so their Etsy rank would drop like crazy. Slow and steady wins the race. 1000 listings should take 2 years ish. By then growth would be steady and sustainable. Marathon not a sprint.
for sure could not agree more this video is about 1 year old so strategies that worked then do not technically work today, check out some of my most recent uploads :]

Hey, no worries at all. I hope you have a good weekend.
Good question. I’m big on reading product descriptions, myself. 🙂
you quit 9-5, but you end up working 24-7 with Etsy 😬 It's best to keep 9-5 (depends on what kind of 9-5 of course) and do a bit of sides.
haha yeap in business you never shut off
Always great video topics that actual help people

Thank you Hannah, great information. Can I ask you how to handle returns? Since it’s a POD, it can’t be returned to say, Printify…would a no returns policy hurt sales?
A lot of big players don’t accept returns so I think emulate those who are winning since it’s working for them

Is Printify does the boxes as well?
they do the packaging yes :]
Can you have multiple shops on rge same account
Nooo I do not believe so
If you start a P.O.D shop on Etsy can you sell other specialty products you personally keep in house & mail to the customer? My question is: Can you have both selling option styles in 1 shop or is it 1 method or the other? Thank You.
you can for sure, but I would not add products just to add products I would be sure they match your overall brand vibe
I make handmade necklaces but I don’t know how to setup the shop for handmade products
When you listing your items it will ask “who made this?” And you put handmade
@@EcomHannah I don’t need serial number or sku .?
you do not need but I recommend you have so you can track inventory and do bookkeeping correctly
@@EcomHannah thank you so much
No worries !!
Am I allowed to have more than 1 etsy store?
Yes but you can’t sell the same products
@EcomHannah Thank you for responding! I have a couple niches I really enjoy, and one store for both would seem chaotic.
