Thank you Mandy! I feel motivated again after watching your video 🙏🏼 It has been a very bumpy ride so far on Etsy, but I’m still determined to succeed. All your content is wonderful, Mandy! Thank you again 🙏🏼❤️
Lots of great information in here right at the start of the video too. I especially love the advice about looking to websites of larger brands in your niches and sorting by new to see what trends, color palettes, and design aesthetics are coming to the market. Everyone advises to look at the other Etsy bestsellers for market research and that is def sound advice, but this is a really great approach since those big brands have full departments of employees whose entire job researching the market and testing to find out what will sell.
Hi Mandy thanks for your video. I'm about to give up. Just last night I found someone on tick tock who copied the photos of my best seller and put them in their store and for a much lower price. How can someone do this? It took me so long to create those photos for someone else to just come and copy them😢
I’m so sorry that happened! It’s always super frustrating, and sadly a common reality to selling online. On TT you can report them, and you can do so on Etsy as well if they list them in a shop. Ultimately, remain focused on continuing to create great products and you will stay ahead of those that sell unethically (because they won’t be able to come up with their own original items). Cheering you on - hang in there! 💜💜
That’s terrible to hear. Use a watermark on your photos so whenever someone copies it shows proof and go after them. also there is a function/software where they can not copy photos as well. I hope that helps.
You are my inspiration Mandy , thank you for doing this video. Do you have one that show how to set up Etsy shop meaning deadlines and indications for the shoppers ?
Hi Mandy. All of my products say they need to be reviewed and updated due to changes in print areas and size. Does that mean I have to go into hundreds of products and check each one and uncheck mockups so they don’t sync the printify mockups when I republish? I’m hoping there is a better way but I can’t find a video anywhere on RUclips. Thank you
Another great video! LOVE your teaching style. I have an Etsy shop. Started 1 yr ago. 1,800 sales/ 500 listings, all POD/Printify. I watched your Shopify series a few months back. Basically I want to lift my Etsy shop, and set it down into a new Shopify store. What is current best way to migrate listings from E to Shopify? Will you be doing modules 5-7? I feel intimidated by it all, but desperately want to start Shopify! Need some Mandy wisdom please!
In my experience I started the Shopify first and then added those products to Etsy which was relatively easy. I would search RUclips for more detailed videos
Congratulations Barbara, what an amazing achievement! Mandy, I really want a lot of sales, however I’m also scared of having a best selling item. I only have a low limit credit card so I don’t know what I would do to pay for the orders. Do you have any general advice? I’m in Australia but some general advice would be great. I’m terrified of increasing my credit listing only to be left having to pay it all back. I had a situation recently with ads going out of control. I have cleaned the ads up now but am still paying the credit card back for that. I don’t know how much I would need to increase my limit to in order to fulfil orders. I don’t have any savings for back up to use. I really want to become a top seller but feel this holds me back a lot as my current healthcare job doesn’t pay much.
I add frequent things like care instructions and info about the printing process in the listing, as well as in the separate FAQ. From a browser, go to your main Shop Manager view, towards lower left corner you’ll see a pencil icon next to your shop name. Click that then scroll to the bottom and you’ll be able to add/edit your FAQs 😊
Hey Mandy, there was a video where you talked about which brand/provider you preferred for tote bags, I did a keyword search but it did not pop up. Can you please tell me which bag you prefer?
Yes! For canvas totes I really like the shopping tote from Duplium. It’s a Canadian provider but they are great (and shipping to the US is pretty comparable to other US providers) 😊
Great tips! This is a random question, an we use keywords for tags and title such as “ TikTok, Pinterest etc”? Like Pinterest aesthetic etc. is this allowed? I can’t find the answer anywhere
Are the designs targeting specific niches? Generally speaking you're going to need more than just a couple to drive enough traffic and you need to make sure you're creating designs that will resonate and be of interest to an ideal buyer in your niche.
I opened my POD shop end of June and started with listing Fall/Halloween/Christmas! For once Im ahead for holidays! LOL
I sold my first printable Christmas card in July!
I appreciate your intelligent approach to everything. Thanks!
I needed this talk

We made our first Christmas item sale on Aug. 10th this year.
What NAICS code can we use for our print on demand (Shopify store) business?

Where can you add an FAQ section in an Etsy store? Or would you juat add queations/answers in the liating? Thanks for all your content.

@@studiomdesignsco Thank you so much.
Hi Amanda, is it possible that at that event they will put subtitles in English or Spanish, for Latinos whose primary language is not English.
congratulations Barbara

I made couple of designs for comfort colour for Halloween and they are not getting any view at all

What do you mean by 80% of your store is evergreen?
Things that can sell any time of the year and year after year.
popular design that will sell any time, any month, any year... = Evergreen ! Always a "forever Green Winner"! good luck with your store
getting sales like a mug ... hehehee 7:17
