I appreciate your sharing and your transparency. I just enrolled in your course last night and I'm impressed with the level of detail as well as you honestly showing every aspect of everything.
That's amazing Jessa that you got $45,200 on Etsy! This is such an inspirational video and as a new shop owner gives me hope that I can see success knowing how long it took you to reach that! Way to go, you should be really proud of yourself :)
Thank you so much for diving deep into your shop. It's super helpful as I've been thinking about creating templates. I think it's very interesting too! 💖
Thank you for the kind words, when I first started on Etsy I found stories about what is possible really motivating! I wish you every success with your store :)
Thank you for the video! It is really inspiring. I have just launched my first Etsy shop and started creating my listings. I am just curious to know how many listings did you create from the start of your brand new shop in November 2020 that gave you boost in traffic and sales?
Thanks, Jessa! It's very inspiring. Subscribed! :) A couple of questions: 1) what's the point to pay for etsy ads if they break almost even and your shop is doing anyway very good? 2) is it your full-time job or side job ? 3) Did you learn online design before creating them? 4) Which website do you use: erank or marmalade or smt else to make choise of products? 5) how long it takes you appr-ly for creating 1 design? Thanks in advance :)
With Etsy ads the benefit is more in the long game, as once you have a customer, they may possibly buy from you again. I just recommend being really really careful with them. Its my full time job. Yes I'm a designer but you absolutely don't need to be a designer to create beautiful design - its just about research and practice. I prefer erank And in terms how long it takes to create a design it really varies based on the complexity. I recommend getting some researched but simple products in your store to build up your traffic :)
I would have loved to listen to your video, but the music is way too loud and the tempo too fast. It stressed me out and 3 minutes was all I could bear. If you must have music, please use a slower one, and minimize the sound. Just your voice would be awesome.
Are these templates that they edit in Canva themselves? How do you import and export them? These are beautiful!! You are so creative. Thank you for sharing.
Yes so they buy the template, then edit the final themselves. This tutorial here teaches you how to make them :) ruclips.net/video/nn9c1BZkdkw/видео.html
Hi Jessa. Thanks for your video. In terms of an item such as a social media post template, I know assets such as logos or photos are customised after purchase but are there concerns with the overall look/feel being used by another business who has purchased the same template?
You can just pop in your terms & conditions that they are not to be resold and are for single commercial use. Canva templates don't have a lot of security around them unfortunately but its very rare Ive found people to steal templates. If you are concerned though Templett offers a lot more security around this so might be worth looking at!
Does your template creator society include game bundles for events like baby showers and weddings? I see so many etsy listings doing 80-100 game bundles and wonder how to do this quickly
Hi Jessa! :) Can I combine both invitation and Canva template in one shop? I'm scared of opening a new shop as Etsy runs a bot that suspends new shops. Love your content
Not sure if i understand your question, can you elaborate? but you can have multiple products in one store that are in the same niche. I just recomend that you have sepearte stores for physical products versus digital products as this can cause complications.
Great content, really impressed with your work. How do you uploaded customise templates on Etsy. Please make a details video about this topic. 🙏 thanks 😊
Thank you so much for the kind words! And yes I totally agree ever since they changed the system over its really become a tool Etsy profits from unfortunately! :(
I see you're selling Canva logos. I was going to do the same but noticed a pro crown next to the check box for downloading transparent images. How does this work if the buying doesn't have a Pro Canva account? Thanks.
Hey! How do you find keywords? Also do you use ads? I have great designs, great keywords by using keyword tools and no sales :/ for me etsy dont work ;(
I do use some ads but most of my traffic comes from the etsy search. You can use a tool like insightfactory to find keywords :) If you have great products it could be an issue of volume, maybe you need more designs up :)
It's amazing that you did the alcohol ink yourself!! Serious commitment lol...I currently sell printables on Etsy but I am thinking about starting a business templates shop so thank you for your insight! Do you use Canva to make your listing photos with the magazines?
Aw you are too kind Kay Zane - thank you for the lovely message! I think that would be a great step for you - templates are typically higher price point and do really well. The mock ups which are magazine are from this amazing artist here: www.moyo-studio.com/
@@kayzane5887 photoshop is pretty amazing! Glen goes through how to use them here: ruclips.net/video/c6hnanbjVp8/видео.html Its pretty straightforward :)
Hi Jessa, Thanks for the video ! I have a question. In my country the only payment option available in etsy is paypal. Do you think it will affect my sales significantly ?
It wont affect your sales on the platform to my knowledge as paypal offers the same functionality and ability to purchase via cc - but there may be additional fees involved. If you are concerned I would reach out to etsy :)
Hi Jessa, I love your page. I started my etsy shop. How do I go about creating these templates. I do not have a background in design and graphic art. Your help will be appreciated
Thank you so much for the kind words thats so lovely! And a huge congratulations to you on starting your Etsy store thats beyond exciting :) If you are wanting the technical side of how to sell Canva templates I have a video here which goes through it in detail :) ruclips.net/video/nn9c1BZkdkw/видео.html You definately don't need a background in design or art though to make templates that sell, its just practice & market research - the best way to learn is to deepdive on etsy and see whats at there - look at colours and themes that are trending and base your products on those. You got this! :)
Thanks for sharing, great info! I went to etsy to look at your store and I cannot find your store. What am I missing? I searched brown sugar company under shop. Can i get a link?😀
Thank you so much for the kind words! You definately don't need to run ads for Etsy, I advice not to in the beginning as they are very hard to run at a break even level if a profit. But Etsy is a traffic driving site so you will get a natural unpaid flow of traffic from the search engine! :)
Yes you need a Canva Pro account to make and sell templates - if you want to go down this road I'd check out this video here: ruclips.net/video/nn9c1BZkdkw/видео.html
Why did you choose Canva over other template sites? Aside from cost? My concern is the template from Canva can be abused I.e resold, used over and over… 🤷♀️
Yes Canva does have some holes in it absolutely and I have had work stolen before 😬 I use Templett for a lot of my stores, but Canva for anything which has lots of pages as its really the only platform that can handle say 50 page documents :)
I really liked your video and your excellent content but the music is extremely distracting and it makes it difficult to capture your excellent points 😞
Yes!! I have gotten a lot of comments about this - so sorry about that! Going forward I'll make sure its fixed - thank you so much for taking the time to let me know though!
Etsy has it's own payment system its fully rolled into now so you need to make sure they are currently allowing stores to open in your country. They pay directly into your bank account.
Nice video, you are talented and have good taste, so that part is covered. I'd like to ask you some technical questions if you don't mind （⌒▽⌒ゞ 1) Do you use only one program or you need peripheral programs to accomplish your work? Which ones? 2) Are you familiar with all these programs or you kinda struggled to get the hang of them? 3) How long it takes you to complete only one of these bundles, an estimate? (I want to have an idea of how much work does it take for someone already used to it, so I can have an idea for beginners :)) Thank you either you answer or not, I'm just really curious. Maybe you should make a video going through the technicalities.
Thank you so much for your kind words! So I used Canva for this tore, and used Photoshop to create the product images. I found them quite easy to learn. Obviously when you are starting out you will be slower creating the products, but for me it takes around 20 minutes to create say a social media bundle.
You don't need to start with any, just make them as you go as its better to add products over time for the etsy algorithm vs all at once! :) Good luck with your store!
Did you have a large social media following when you started? Also, how many listings would you say you had in the first couple months of starting? My shop has been open for years but I recently revamped it after letting it go stale for a long time (it wasn't a digital shop before) and I barely get any visits and zero sales now. It's only been about 3 weeks and I now have 11 listings. I just figured I'd at least get more visits. But maybe due to being within that first month it's harder. I was thinking about ads, but heard they're not worth it. So i'll hold off on that one. I started a sale today as well so we shall see lol. I dont have a social media following so I'm beginning to feel like that is what I'm missing most. But we'll see. Thanks in advance for any help :) Great vid!
Hey lovely! No I had 0 social media following when I started - Etsy is an amazing platform because it brings the traffic for you - you don't need to go out and find it. The only social media I used throughout the year to drive traffic was Pinterest but Etsy definitely brought most of the traffic. With your store - keep tracking trends and look for products which are selling, market research is everything :) I would add more products before doing ads - ads aren't the best on Etsy and hard to run at a profit I've found - I only have them turned on in a couple of stores. Usually the key to success is more products with varying tags - as Etsy is search based you need as many tags out there as possible bringing you traffic :) Wishing you all the best with your lovely store though!
@@ThatJessaB Thanks so much for the info! Ya, I've gotta use some of those tools for finding trends, etc. I'm gonna keep adding listings and keep learning! Thanks again :)
Maybe I missunderstood something, and I am quite cinical when it comes to mmo stuff. There are a lot of devious people out there faking numbers or skewing the story to make it sound better than what it is to sell courses, merch, affiliate items, etc. You said at 6:30, in the video, you opened this store in Nov 2020 and started making products in Dec 2020. Then at 8:50, in the video, you try and reinforce the idea that you hadn't opened yet by showing no revenue in Oct 2020. Where I had a bit of a red flag though, was at 5:58, in the video, you can see your stores lifetime data and that goes all the way back to 2016 which is odd especially since you are claiming you didn't even open the store until Nov 2020, no? When, at 5:58, the lifetime data popped up acted like you were startled that it showed what it did and you tried to play it off by saying it doesn't show enough data and went back to just 2020 data. Another red flag to me was your revenue, it shows $46,090 lifetime, at 5:58 in the video, compaired to $45,731 for 2020 at 6:30 in the video. Which isn't a big difference, but it's still a differenece. Again, that just shows that you were open prior to what you said and were making a few sales here and there. Where the problem lies for me is this video seems like you are implying that you opened brand new store and made 45k in year as basically passive income. When in reality this store seems to have been open since 2016 and wasn't doing anything until 2020 and now it's magically working. 45k in 1 year with a brand new store sounds a whole lot easier to do and better to do than a store that is 5 years old that doesn't/didn't get 99% of its sales until that 5th year. The way you framed this video makes selling on etsy seem easier that what it actually is which gets people over hyped and easier to sell them your stuff in the description from an emotionally charged stand point, no? That's disengenious and missleading in my opinion, but again maybe I missunderstood something.
Hey! Thank you so much for clarifying - I love that you questioned this. 1. Opened Brand Sugar in November & registered the business name in 2020 as a totally new business - the actual physical etsy store was an old printing store I opened back in 2016 for one of my invitation stores, and then closed. I reopened and just rebranding it. The income shown and products shown in the video are all made from November forward. 2. With the lifetime data showing $46,090, this is because when I custom set the range it was a full year from the launch of Brand Sugar but at the time of making the video there was like an additional week at the end of December 2021 so that additional $300 income would have been from there. 3. Thanks for flagging these things though - I’ve popped a note at the top of the description to clarify that it was a new business / brand (Brand Sugar) and that the actual Etsy store was physically older than that. But confirming for you the brand (Brand Sugar), all products & selling Canva templates themselves were all created in the year so the video is relevant and accurate. Thanks for your breakdown though, I hope that going forward it will help me to be more articulate and clear in what I’m showing as I’m definitely about honesty. I wouldn’t say the video makes creating Canva templates look easy and I talk a lot about building things up over time in my other videos - there were a lot of man hours thrown into the store and it has over 500 products which are high quality but the beauty of the business model is that you make it once and it continues to sell again and again. Wishing you every success with your store!
It definately is expensive which is why I say you need to watch it really closely. They do have their benefits though as listings that sell get a higher rank in Etsy search and you get more organic sales - so really as long as they are breaking even I think they are ok.
Thank you so much this has been such a common comment and I have since taken off all music from my videos! thank you so much for the feedback I really appreciate it :)
I try to watch your video, but i hardly hear you because the background music is - way too loud. I'm not able to watch your video. I know that lots of people dont mind but some group of people will skip your video because the loud music is simply annoying.
Noted!! I have had this comment quite a bit so am going to reboot this and upload without the music. Thank you so much for taking the time to let me know! :)
@@OhioGalReads haha too funny yes Im totally the same! I think when I made it I was just bopping along to the music and didn't even notice it was a bit hard to heat the actual content! You live and learn hey! :)
I couldn't get through this video because of the music. It's terribly distracting, I can barely concentrate on what you're saying. Too bad because it seems like it has good info.

Hey lovely! No I had 0 social media following when I started - Etsy is an amazing platform because it brings the traffic for you - you don't need to go out and find it. The only social media I used throughout the year to drive traffic was Pinterest but Etsy definitely brought most of the traffic.
With your store - keep tracking trends and look for products which are selling, market research is everything :) I would add more products before doing ads - ads aren't the best on Etsy and hard to run at a profit I've found - I only have them turned on in a couple of stores.
Usually the key to success is more products with varying tags - as Etsy is search based you need as many tags out there as possible bringing you traffic :) Wishing you all the best with your lovely store though!
@@ThatJessaB Thanks so much for the info! Ya, I've gotta use some of those tools for finding trends, etc. I'm gonna keep adding listings and keep learning! Thanks again :)
Is there a Startup payment?
Sorry I'm not sure what you mean?
@@ThatJessaB is there any Costa involved when starting?
Costs
Wish Etsy was available in my country 😔
Awe dang! There are lots of other platforms you can sell on as well - Creative Market, AppSumo & Gumroad are a couple :)
I wish you didn't have the music in the background..it's very distracting
Thank you so much for your feedback - absolutely noted! going forward I wont add music in the background :)
The music is distracting to watch your video, I am sure it's great.
Thank you so much I really appreciate you letting me know! Going forward I'm taking off the background music completely :)
@@ThatJessaB - great videos, but it's a bit distracting from your content. :)
Maybe I missunderstood something, and I am quite cinical when it comes to mmo stuff. There are a lot of devious people out there faking numbers or skewing the story to make it sound better than what it is to sell courses, merch, affiliate items, etc. You said at 6:30, in the video, you opened this store in Nov 2020 and started making products in Dec 2020. Then at 8:50, in the video, you try and reinforce the idea that you hadn't opened yet by showing no revenue in Oct 2020.
Where I had a bit of a red flag though, was at 5:58, in the video, you can see your stores lifetime data and that goes all the way back to 2016 which is odd especially since you are claiming you didn't even open the store until Nov 2020, no? When, at 5:58, the lifetime data popped up acted like you were startled that it showed what it did and you tried to play it off by saying it doesn't show enough data and went back to just 2020 data.
Another red flag to me was your revenue, it shows $46,090 lifetime, at 5:58 in the video, compaired to $45,731 for 2020 at 6:30 in the video. Which isn't a big difference, but it's still a differenece. Again, that just shows that you were open prior to what you said and were making a few sales here and there.
Where the problem lies for me is this video seems like you are implying that you opened brand new store and made 45k in year as basically passive income. When in reality this store seems to have been open since 2016 and wasn't doing anything until 2020 and now it's magically working. 45k in 1 year with a brand new store sounds a whole lot easier to do and better to do than a store that is 5 years old that doesn't/didn't get 99% of its sales until that 5th year. The way you framed this video makes selling on etsy seem easier that what it actually is which gets people over hyped and easier to sell them your stuff in the description from an emotionally charged stand point, no? That's disengenious and missleading in my opinion, but again maybe I missunderstood something.
Hey! Thank you so much for clarifying - I love that you questioned this.
1. Opened Brand Sugar in November & registered the business name in 2020 as a totally new business - the actual physical etsy store was an old printing store I opened back in 2016 for one of my invitation stores, and then closed. I reopened and just rebranding it. The income shown and products shown in the video are all made from November forward.
2. With the lifetime data showing $46,090, this is because when I custom set the range it was a full year from the launch of Brand Sugar but at the time of making the video there was like an additional week at the end of December 2021 so that additional $300 income would have been from there.
3. Thanks for flagging these things though - I’ve popped a note at the top of the description to clarify that it was a new business / brand (Brand Sugar) and that the actual Etsy store was physically older than that. But confirming for you the brand (Brand Sugar), all products & selling Canva templates themselves were all created in the year so the video is relevant and accurate.
Thanks for your breakdown though, I hope that going forward it will help me to be more articulate and clear in what I’m showing as I’m definitely about honesty. I wouldn’t say the video makes creating Canva templates look easy and I talk a lot about building things up over time in my other videos - there were a lot of man hours thrown into the store and it has over 500 products which are high quality but the beauty of the business model is that you make it once and it continues to sell again and again. Wishing you every success with your store!
I like your message but the background music is a bit annoying. I would get rid of that if I were you.
Thank you so much Joe I really appreciate you letting me know! Going forward I'm taking off the background music completely :)
the ads seem like a waste of money, $1k+ to get 97 orders... I like the other sources better in your video
It definately is expensive which is why I say you need to watch it really closely. They do have their benefits though as listings that sell get a higher rank in Etsy search and you get more organic sales - so really as long as they are breaking even I think they are ok.
Why is the music sooooooo loud? What is she saying?
Thank you so much this has been such a common comment and I have since taken off all music from my videos! thank you so much for the feedback I really appreciate it :)
Didn't mean to be rude. Seems like you have good info to share just so difficult to hear you love. Nonetheless ill try to check out your other videos.
@@cecetn3383 thank you so much - you learn and grow! :) I really appreciate the feedback as it helps me make the videos better!
I couldn't finish watching the video because the music was too loud and I couldn't understand what you were saying.
Thank you so much for the feedback - going forward I wont have the background music :)
I try to watch your video, but i hardly hear you because the background music is - way too loud. I'm not able to watch your video. I know that lots of people dont mind but some group of people will skip your video because the loud music is simply annoying.
Thank you so much for the feedback!

If you could please use different music. I'm having a difficult time watching this.
Thank you so much for the comment and feedback - absolutely going forward Ill make sure there is no background music!
@@ThatJessaB thank you!! I do love music just not while people are talking. Lol😎
@@OhioGalReads haha too funny yes Im totally the same! I think when I made it I was just bopping along to the music and didn't even notice it was a bit hard to heat the actual content! You live and learn hey! :)
I couldn't get through this video because of the music. It's terribly distracting, I can barely concentrate on what you're saying. Too bad because it seems like it has good info.
Thank you so much for the feedback I really appreciate it! Going forward there is no music on my videos :)

Thank you for your comment, hopefully down the track then its a great platform :)
