This has been encouraging to me. It’s pretty much what I’m doing. My shop has been open for less than 2 weeks so far. My plan is to add one product every day for 100 days without worrying about sales. It’s a mug shop with some uniquely odd, funny, wry graphics and text all created by me (no AI). I’ve sold 5 mugs so far. Feeling pretty good about that! Especially after watching your video.
Hi I created mugs on canva where do I sell this
congratulations! Wish much success 🙏
You got this!
Do u use shopify or etsy
Well done
Starting is Def the hardest. I've had the idea of selling my art in the back of my head cooking for years. I'm finally taking the chance.
I have never commented on a RUclips video, but I need to tell you how much your videos are helping me overcome my fears and work my way out of the valley of despair. You are awesome and deserve every bit of success you've earned. Thank you for making these videos. You are really helping people
I'm really glad it's helping :)
The difference between successful people and unsuccessful are the successful people kept going.
True. That is the only thing what matter and if course you need knowledege as well
Along with market research and patience
Where can I download his guide ?
It's alot more than just that simple answer but that is a good start.
@@PolarBearPredator ...why you gotta ruin Marky Marks Moment Bear, 🤪
Every time I'm feeling despondent I watch one of your videos. It refocuses me and motivates me to keep going.
Alek, I love your presentation style, so level headed, and common sense based. I am a very competitive semi-retired man, not really needing a steady income, but I enjoy working on my Etsy shop very very much, almost like a hobby, and the more I watch educational content like yours, the more I want to "compete" if you will. I have only had my shop up since Feb 1st, 2024, but have made 6 sales and am trying to focus on ONE PRODUCT mainly to become an expert. I look forward to following you in the future. Keep up the great work!!!
Thank you, Alek, for the encouragement to keep on pluggin'. I don't know of anyone else on RUclips who is as clear, helpful and sincere as you are. All the best to you in 2024.
As someone who has done this since the pandemic, I can assure you, all he did was yap. He provided no solutions, and the problems brought up aren't even real problems to be had. It's all wishy washy bs to get you to keep watching his videos, and not cracking away at dropshipping. All of these guys on RUclips are shills, who don't mention any of the serious and massive pitfalls.
Thank you this was refreshing, I opened my Shopify store in January and haven't had sales, but I keep learning something everyday and fell like if I keep trying, something will click.
I needed to hear this, thank you for all your hard work in 2023. Here's to more success in 2024!
You're definitely a good mentor. I have been so good at almost jobs I held and I always get bored and underpaid. This pod business satisfies my desire for challenge and your videos definitely pushes me to not lose interest and do something easy
What's been stopping me I found is the setting up of taxes and other bureaucratic mess that with a small mistake can lead to costly penalties. But at this point, im realizing theres people out there whose zone of genius is just that. So EFF it, im trying. I decided it gets to be fun.
Thank you for the encouragement ❤ my business hit a speedbump ,& i was doubting all my decisions. I know i need to be patient and allow time for it to grow but i was beginning to wonder if the sacrifice was worth it. Now i am encouraged to keep going, i love learning so i will keep learning & trying 😍
Man, I found out your channel few days ago. I absolutely love how your explanations are detailled, proof based and how you keep it simple, words and attitude. It's very comfortable and interesting to watch, and of course f**king motivating. Congratulation on your work and thank you
Thank you so much for extending your lessons learned to all us plowing through! I always watch your videos multiple times and each time I absorb something I missed the time before. Thank you for keeping it real!! I wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas followed by a safe and prosperous New Year 2024!!
Lately I’ve been interested in starting a business and this was really an inspiration! Thank you!
Thanks, Alek. I needed this. In my opinion, this is the best of all your videos that I've watched. You explain and encourage so well. I appreciate that. I consider you my own personal cheerleader.
Thank you for trying to give people hope… it’s easy to get discouraged when you’re discouraged with your life. Only way to win is to keep persisting and put in the work.
You videos have so much value, Thank you Alek! 👏
You are becoming a good mentor, Alek.
Few months ago I thought you are a joker, but your perseverance, progress and results speak for themselves.
Very impressive!
I hope you continue to grow and inspire us for many years ahead!
Thanks for the insightful YTs! Just started my POD... thanks to you! Have a great Christmas!
Much respect. Thanks to your videos we’re currently working on our Etsy shop. Should be published next week.
Hello Alek! Thank You so much for your candid business advice! It's just a real motivation. Thank You so much for reminding me to do one thing at a time, one niche per store. Thank You and good luck to You!
Great! Thanks! Merry Christmas!
Soso helpful!! I started a print on demand candle shop less than a week ago on Etsy and I've gotten 3 sales so far. If the listing is optimized well enough, etsy is great at sending customer over
What about returns? Is there a way to outsource the returns as well? It’s what is holding me back
I have run strict no return policy as all product are made to order and I haven't had a single custom complain in over 1,000 sales...unless the item is defective...if that is the case printify covers the cost and will either refund you or issue a reprint. So you are never paying out of pocket for anything out of your control. @@EvelineFleur
Did you get a sales tax permit from your county or state to charge customers on Etsy? Or similar type permit?? Also, do you run your shop as a sole proprietor or llc?
@@EvelineFleurdon’t accept returns 🤷🏽♀️
If your items are made to order (as is POD) you don’t have to accept returns.
My shop from the outset is no returns, no exchanges, no cancellations.
@@FransceneJK98is this an American thing? Permits?
Thank you so, so much for this vid! I feel like you’re talking to me, e.g. the analysis paralysis, info overload etc., not knowing where to start. I signed up to Etsy today, after setting up my business bank account etc. Now I just need to keep the faith & push on to success! Wish me luck!
That was great. Researching and buying people's courses in this niche is really helping me get started. Thanks for the help!
Thank you Alek for the great motivation!
This video is gold for someone that about to start. Thank you!!!
One the finest videos I have seen. Thanks pal...I have always thought this too...
Thank you so much! I’ve had my Etsy shop for years… I get shiny object syndrome so badly! This has helped me and I wish I could hug you! I’m gonna get a planner and a whiteboard calendar tomorrow to keep me focused and consistent! ❤
Love your content bro, I have been at it a few months with only a few sales but watching content like this makes me double down. There are great tips here that I will implement immediately, thank you!
You are an incredible inspiration and the first person on you tube that makes sense!
This is the first time I watch one of your videos and you immediately earn a follower! I’m going to keep watching your content and use it to reach my goals! Thx a lot brother
This video was so helpful. I found my niche and I know I'm going to smash it. ONe real stand out was when you said "Just do it. Don't get overwhelmed. Beat the 80 percent who don't try and get the ball rolling. I feel a lot more comfortable and motivated now thanks to this video. Thanks
great video Alek. i needed the encouragement. what you say makes sense.
Thanks this is a very helpful video its inspired me to get my print on demand business going with spring just started it last week, I was guilty of a few of the mistakes you mentioned keep the helpful gems coming and thanks a million.
Thank you for the motivation Alex! I’m gonna start
Yes, thanks Alex. Very helpful.
I love your video I think you get right to the point and you absolutely explain why most people don’t make it in this type of business. This is a valuable video for anyone who is frustrated or has been frustrated like me, but it also gives me hope. Thank you so much for your time and experience. Although most people will consider your suggestions the obvious thing to do they still won’t do it and not continue to complain every time they come up with a brilliant idea but failed to follow through. Thank you
Needed this video. Thx Alek!
Valuable system info! Has me thinking as I just started last week! So glad I stumbled on your info. Thank you!
Thank you for this. Needed that push
Thank you for sharing your thoughts, it’s really inspiring to watch your videos.
I won't lie, I have been guilty of quite a few of these errors. My husband sent me your video and I had to comment that I feel very much encouraged now! When you look at the numbers, strategies, and realistic expectations, it does make sense. Thank you for the advice..... Onwards !!!
Hola soy Mexicana, amo tus videos! hoy pensé en rendirme y abandonar mi tienda, entre en depresión, pensando que otros pueden, pero yo no! Y gracias a tu video me inspiraste a seguir adelante, gracias por todo! Quisiera tener tu mentalidad de éxito, pero gracias a ti, seguiré adelante, ojalá tuvieras tu curso en español! Te mereces todo el éxito que tienes gracias gracias gracias
Thanks, Alek! Great job!
Very clear and very helpful guidance for new businesses. Especially the uploaded software and discord prompts.
Thank you for saving me so much time..🎉
oh dear.. I wish I had discovered your videos sooner. I almost gave up on my shop. Now I'm not. Thank you for inspiration. Love from Australia ❤
Thank you Alex, I need this words today. Blessings
this has been an excellent video for me starting up my digital art business. thank you.
Thank you for this! I needed this advice today!
This was a very helpful & informative video! Thank you for sharing this. I’m slowly trying to gain as much info about starting my business & and this was *spot on* with many of my problems. Much success to anyone trying to start their own business! ✨
New subscriber here! The gems you’re dropping can’t be refuted brother. I built a pretty successful shop myself
This was actually very motivating - thank you!
Your videos are always very inspiring and help me enormously to just keep learning and growing. Thank you so much for posting 🙂
Good to watch, I realise I'm just not focused on one product. Maybe that should be the mantra. Do one product and do it well (and consistently)
I really appreciate this video btw thank you for the motivation.
Thank you very much, this is very inspiring for me when I start and meet the phase of stopping, because I'm not sure if it can work, thank you very much again.
Thank you so much Alek 🙏🏻
I needed to hear this today, thank you for sharing
Thank you so much. I won't give up.
Couldn't agree more. 👍
Plan Your Work. Work Your Plan.
I just realized I purchased a MacBook 💻 after watching your pet portrait video and it’s made me so much money! Thank you so much for making these videos
Great video Alex. Planning on starting one of these myself
Thank you this has been so helpful.
I have bought your course and I love it. Thank you so much for all your inspiring videos.
where did you buy the course?
Sooo helpful, thank you, Alek!!! 🌹🌹✨✨
1st time watching great video, great info dont see too many creators putting the proper numbers of different niches in videos.👍👍
You are especial!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. Eres una gran persona, súper inteligente, y lleno de bondad, Dios te pague hoy y por siempre mi buen amigo. 🙏
Thank you for this, you definitely spoke on what I am going through. I feel seen 😅 I almost gave up.
"They don't give up on learning & trying; that's all there is to do, anyway." That is poster-worthy, Alex! It's sad how many people (on RUclips and in regular life) actual "encourage" people to NOT learn and NOT try. Just give up before you get disappointed, they say. Thank you, Alex, for the dose of reality and inspiration!
I’m in Aurora, CO! Getting back on Etsy thanks to you 🙏🏼
Thanks much, Alek. Very inspiring.
Easier said than done. POD can be challenging. One of the biggest challenges is the e-commerce platforms like Etsy or Shopify. Many RUclips presentations like this one fail to mention e-commerce platforms have many fees after the free trial period ends and if a POD shop has not made any sales, the fees begin to stack up. Nothing is for free and there are costs involved in any business includeing POD shops. Secondly, e-commerce platforms like Etsy and Shopify can and will suspend or shutdown your online store for any reason without an explanation thus putting an end to the online store owner's revenue. This business can be a nightmare. Build a stand alone online store and try to stay away from Etsy and Shopify; they are a scam and can be financially risky. However, it is something one has to put time and effort into as was stated in this presentation.
Is there such a thing as a free website? Or easy website? I'm not too tech savvy. Only worked in admin
Hey Alek, stumbled into your video and loving it ❤. You have a new subscriber
I feel like I owe it to you to press forward. Your channel is very encouraging. May God bless you Alek.
you are so encouraging i just started have 0 sales ,for now, and learning in my journey also tried makong ads bit failed at that i logged out of that account now i am trying to learn as much as possible amd focusing on one thing at the moment and i know nothing is ever a get rich quick scheme unless you play the lottery and win then yeah u will be sad with what happens if u try to get 'rich quick'
This was great, thanks!
Thanks, yes this video was so hepful.
I'm just at the beginning of a digital art store which I haven't even opened yet. It really is a step by step process. Learn, practice, perfect. Get it right, find a routine and work it over and over to success.
Did you get a sales tax permit from your county or state to charge customers on Etsy? Or similar type permit?? Also, do you run your stop as a sole proprietor or llc?
Thank you for this. I was in the valley at the moment and thos helped me focus on my neich and keep going
One day I'm gonna meet u and say thanks for every advice you gave it to us ❤
😊 I love you too and I hope you have a great day too and I will talk to you later love you bye love you bye love you bye see Heart ❤Heart and ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Just found this channel, applying myself today
Hello Alek! Happy New Year!! I love all your videos, and this one was just as inspiring as the rest. Thank you for you work! Q: How do I get on the chat thing you shared in the video?
Thanks you so much, its so Useful ! ❤❤❤
You are awesome. I am still learning and your youtube was and is very very helpful. I am from Malaysia I sincerely want to say thank you.
This is very insightful thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I needed this
Thank you!
I havent made a sale I'm exhausted. I've burned my brain out overthinking. You have very good advice I need this reminder. I was trying to do too much to reach different audiences
Thanks Bro. I really appreciate this Video.
Glad it helped
Getting started is the hardest part I've learned also that you can't share everything with everyone .
"Learn & Try" 💜
Great video Alek. I think I have watched about 15+ of your videos and now have enough information to succeed with my goals. Your videos are consistent, easy to understand and allow one to integrate the knowledge successfully. What I primarily love is the fact you often are using free apps. Where as some of the players are always trying to sell you! Keep up the great work Alek, you are my favourite POD Specialist :)
Thank you Alex.. You change my mindset & make me spirit again. I will try & Learn always like you said. I hope I can see result like yours. Amien. I am newbie & I am your bew subscriber. Your video very helpful for me. Thank you so much ^_^
Thanks Alek. I needed this video, been at this business model a month, had some success, half a dozen sales and worked with some influencers but I’m nowhere near where I want to be. Doesn’t help Etsy banned my shop day 1 for no reason without even telling me why, I didn’t even get chance to post a product 😂
Same happened to me today. Did you get your account back?
Great video 😍
But this is very solid advice and I won't give up thank you
Yes! Stay dangerous! I love everything about this video; the value, the backed up data, and the love for grind mode. Thank you for your guidance and on point content! ✨⭐️✨
I love your videos thank u
