I'm a Graphic Designer and artist. I have a few items on Society 6 & they did ok. I want to open my Etsy shop. Taking notes and watching all the videos! Great tips!
I've been working as a full time apparel designer for 20 years now! Have always been wanting to embark on this journey for myself just always so intimidating. Thank you Hannah for sharing all this knowledge
You can do it!
Fantastic content and advice, Hannah! Thank you so much!
Glad it was helpful!
this was awesome content Hannah, really helped me get motivated and on a clear path for 2024! Thanks so much for another great video!
You're so welcome! Cheers to an amazing year for you!
I’ve been wanting to start something like this, but all I hear is niche niche niche. I’m the type of person who can’t pick just one thing. So thank you so much for letting me know about the general store!!! Thank you Hannah for breaking everything down for us!!! Especially we newbies!!! 💜❤️
General store is an awesome way to start!
Looking to be you this time next year 🤣🤣🥰🥰 thanks for the great content
Thanks Hannah!
Thanks for watching!
I'm so glad I came across your channel very very helpful Thank you so much 🥰💕
You are so welcome!
This was so well-done. As a new seller, I really appreciate the clear explanations and logical advice. Thank you!
You're so welcome! Glad it was helpful!
Same here!
Great info, thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Hi Hannah. Thank you for the good content. I'm finishing up setting up my Etsy store. It is a must to set up "Private Policy" ?
you apply the 20/80 rule. Cool!
Hey, Hannah, I stumbled on your videos while researching print on demand. I hold an MBA and spent over 15 years behind a desk until I became tired of the workload, so now I'm working for Purple Cow Manufacturing, producing all the milk and by-products for Meijer. The company is great, but I've always had an entrepreneurial mindset and I am very much ready for a side hustle. I was curious whether you have any videos covering how you handle business logistics such as taxes, etc. for Michigan.
Hi Hannah thanks for everything you are doing. My question for you is that possible to screenshot a photo from other websites then edit them like on Place it or canva?
Thanks for all the valuable content! I’m curious, on average how long would you say you spent daily uploading designs while you were building your Etsy shop? I’m assuming it gets faster as you learn more and become more efficient?
It definitely depends on what type of research and products I did for the day, but typically it was a few hours a day those first months.
About how many designs do you have on Etsy now? Whats your timeline for not renewing an item to continue to be sold on Etsy? I'm just starting the ETSY process and wonder how sellers like yourself work these things.
I'm in Japan and we JUST got the ability to have Etsy Shops again. (We couldn't make new shops since 2020 I think because of new fraud laws. I think Etsy just gave up because PayPal Japan became more difficult. Now its a go with Payoneer).
Aside:
Also I'm planning on applying for Amazon but REALLY need to get the paperwork right. My issues are that I have an apostrophe in my name that doesnt appear on some paperwork (because Japanese businesses and officialdom don't always have the ability to use them), addresses etc are in Japanese, and people in Japan arent required to give their identity number for IRS paperwork. There is a section for it but I worry that AI will reject me on any one of these not matching. BUT. I guess i have to try and see 😅.
Hello Hannah! I'm your new sub! In Bangladesh, Etsy, Merch by Amazon, and eBay aren't available. Would you please make a video on the Printify Pop-Up store? I would be really grateful if you make one :)
Hello Hannah. I thank you for your content. I was wondering if you look at people's stores and give an audit. I ask because you have a lot of information that other people don't have. For example, you're the one and only that says to have a general store. I have a general store and I've had someone look at it. And they're telling me that's my problem. I have a general store. I'm just curious if you help out with audits? Thanks 😊
Hi Hannah! This video is so informative, I was wondering how were you able to list 10 new items a day? Especially if you were still working full time? I am currently trying to figure out how to post more while still working full time. Thank you!
It definitely gets easier with time, but the important thing is picking a number you can stick with-even if that’s just 2 a day!
any tips for people who have applied to amazon and not accepted? keep trying or move on?
Hello, I'm seeking advice on increasing my 'Published Designs' count and the number of 'Products Submitted Today' on Amazon Merch on Demand. For over three months now, I've been regularly updating my product selections and regions, but I've been limited to only four changes a day because changing to a new design seems to decrease my 'Product Potential' score. Currently, I'm constrained to a maximum of 10 designs and can only submit 4 products per day. How can I increase these limits? Do I need to keep submitting four products daily until my 'Product Potential' reaches 660, or should I focus on continually introducing new designs regardless of the 'Product Potential' score? I would really appreciate your guidance on this.
I started an etsy shop 2 years ago and spent the first 6 weeks just building it up...then life happened and I barely touched it. I'm back at it as of a few days ago, but now I'm wondering if I should have closed it and started a new one.
Any ideas on gaining momentum after so long a stretch of time of doing nothing.
Thank you for sharing! I really appreciate the content! If i may ask a question I just start a new Etsy shop called family style store so I choose family niche.. my question is how to sell first items when you have no reviews no orders yet? Thank you 🙏
See if family/friends would be interested in ordering & leaving reviews, maybe reimburse the cost?
Nice Video, Amazon do not allow the packages shipped by print on demand companies to have a name and address on packaging of print on demand company. They want the information on packaging to amazon seller's information. How do you get around that ? Thanks in advance for answering.
I applied for Amazon Merch & got accepted. I wasn't expecting to get accepted and now I don't know what to do with it 😂😂🥴
Woohoo! That’s awesome! I have tons of videos, especially from last year, that have lots of help for Amazon Merch.
@@hannahebeling Ok, I'll watch those and take notes but continue working on my new Etsy shop. Thanks 😄
When did you apply?
I tried and got rejected
So when am I supposed to retry
can I sell to tax-exempt buyer on Etsy?
Hi Hannah. Is there any option to get accepted on AM? I've been applying for 7 months with different accounts ( I make daily sales on other marketplaces so my designs and my niches are well researched) idk the constant rejections
Amazon Merch can be very selective at times, with almost no rhyme or reason. I would keep trying to apply, but in the meantime, focus on another platform like Etsy too.
What type of design should I make right now. If u could give me one idea. 😊
I definitely suggest watching a couple of my most recent design tutorials.They have some great easy ideas to get started.
Hi Hannah. Is there a link to your Etsy shop please? I wondered how yours was formatted, for inspiration.
Also, have you got a video showing how much profit you've made? I hear a lot of people saying they haven't made anything.
Really liking your channel. Thanks.
Do you sell MBA accounts ?
After you said “upload three a day” I kept thinking how long it takes me to illustrate & wordsmith new phrases & poems, it’s three a week at best! I’ll have to rewatch the video, I couldn’t focus after that!😂
Hey I could really use your advice on something - would it be possible to create a brand focused around a fandom without actually infringing on copyright?
For example if it was Star Wars, have lots space and planet themed shirts and sayings like “No Bad Feelings” or “This Princess carries a gun” and maybe a separate shirt with a graphic of a bunch of fuzz balls laughing (for the line “laugh it up, Fuzzball”)?
Because none of those things are technically copyrighted but it would be obvious what I was copying so would I get in trouble for that?
Also if I had a youtube channel that made star wars edits and then used that channel to promote my products it would be even easier to accuse me of using their story to sell my stuff, but technically it’s still my designs and I didn’t explicitly copy or steal anything so would it be okay?
Thanks for your time, and I look forward to hearing what you think!
Even though they're your designs, you're still relying on the reputation of Star Wars to make sales. Disney is very litigious, so I'd be very careful with it
Like the above comment stated, it’s very risky to do anything that would be profiting off the recognition of another brand. I would personally stay away.
@@hannahebeling That makes sense. What if it was something like Kung Fu Panda? (Non Disney) For example I would use lots of panda and maybe tiger images (since it’s animals they can’t own that, but would I get in trouble if I specifically grouped a tiger and Panda together because they’re main characters even though I’m not using actual character images?) As well as bowls with noodles, chopsticks, and dumplings (a main prop used in the movies) and maybe sayings like “I’m a Warrior” or “Noodles hold the Secret to Life”
which would be obvious references to the movies but are pretty generic so it wouldn’t be infringing, right?
Since I technically could...if I was to risk it what would be the possible consequences? (Because if it’s not really infringing and I’m very careful with the designs I use it could be very beneficial to me so it seems worth it but I don’t really know what’s at stake. Would it just be a risk of my shop getting shut down or would I have to pay all the money I earned to the copyright holders or could it involve a court case? I’m kinda confused. )
Thanks for responding back to me! 😊
How long would you say on average it takes to make that first sale? My shop has been open for 4 weeks, I post 1 listing a day and have done all of the Etsy handbook steps to open the store but only getting direct views which I suspect are bots. Is that normal for a new store, or is January a slow month? I am trying to figure out if I should pivot and change everything up or upload more everyday.
I would just keep uploading! It’s different for every person. I was lucky to make sales my first week, but some of the best shops can take months to take off.
@@hannahebeling ok thank you for replying!
My stores been open since October 22. I just got my 58th sale this weekend. Take your time slow and steady. I'm by myself, totally on my own in this venture. I'm in my 50s. I'm a trained RN. So, I am learning everything from scratch. The computer and what it can and cannot do. SO, give yourself some time and keep plugging away.😊 YOU GOT THIS! As do I. We don't see the roots of a small sprout but the roots are huge. Strong and secure. Get ready for growth over time. 🙂
@@heavenonthehorizon777 thank you that makes me feel so much better!
Hi Hannah I'm trying to start selling print on demand. I don't have a desktop computer so I tried to open kittl on my tablet and my phone but it says you have to have a desktop. Is this true? Will a laptop work? I'm so excited to get started.
Yes! You can totally use a laptop with it. That’s what I typically do too!
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Your first tip of doing a general shop instead of an specific one is different from every other Etsy people who say you should focus in one product only.
I mean general in terms of niches, not products. I think you should only focus on only a couple product types to start.
@@hannahebelingThanks for the clarification
Great info, thank you
Glad it was helpful!
