I have a digital Etsy shop, and while it's taking a while to grow, I'm enjoying watching it improve over time.
Thanks so much for the step by step. I needed this information to speed up making prints. Nobody else is as detailed at you are!
I used to be a full time designer for the Fortune 500 company. It’s scary how everything now is all predesigned and anybody can put together anything at the comfort of their homes. It a new world where you’re competing with the world from 3 year old to 90 year old just to make a buck. Great video BTW!
Lol welcome to the new age!!! ❤
Hi Kate thank you for all your tips. I opened my shop in August last year and I've made 11 sales since. I sell digital products and print on demand mugs. Praying I will be successful like you. Thank you for helping us with your videos. May God bless you even more this year.💫💕
Congratulations on getting your first sales, Jessy! That is wonderful!! ❤️
That’s so wonderful, how is it going 9 months later?
@@malika6218 I actually closed both shops. I felt that my niche wasn't right for me, I was selling Christian mugs and I didn't make new 2022 digital products. I sold calendars and planners.
Than after taking some time off and focusing on my college degree, I prayed about etsy and I felt God gave me a new idea. So I opened my etsy new shop and began selling pod tote bags on the 22 of June, I am 5 months in with 21 sales 10 of them are from this month alone, I had a sale everyday this month. I actually can't believe it. I'm in a niche that I really love. My advice do something that you will love and be happy doing.
@@malika6218 update: I've reached 100 sales today.💃🏾🥳❤️I'm in total shock. It's crazy. I still can't believe it and I did 55 so far this month alone, woke up with 11 sales this morning. God is good. Hard works certainly does pay off.💕now I can pay my remaining college fees for this year🙃
@@jessychirenge Wow congratulations!
Do you print them at your house or have them printed and sent to the seller by a company?
I pray that God continues to gives you success and that I will be able to do the same. To work full time is really difficult for me, I don’t want to be out of the house for 10-11 hours a day, but I need to have some income for the next few years until my husband earns enough money for both of us.
I live in Germany so everything got so much more expensive the last few months.
Great video! I'm starting a new Etsy shop for digital prints of my photos from around the world and this video was very helpful. I already have an etsy shop, but struggled to find a niche so I'll try again and hoping for better success. I might also relaunch my old etsy shop when I have done some more research for that one. 😊
Great to hear from you Milla! Finding a niche can be so hard but worth it in the end! Great job doing your research!! :)
very good video, and very informative and encouraging - thank you Kate!!
This is great. I am a watercolor artist and have been trying to figure out how to get my product out there the easiest way
Thank you so much for sharing your expertise! This is really helpful. You do a fantastic job keeping it simple and easy to follow, plus you have a great vibe! Thanks again! You have a new fan and subscriber here!

They say to sell what people are looking for how would I go about doing this I have no clue.
thank you for your help Kate, I am really looking into having a digital business on the side as well as my own business for extra incomes
Hey friend, that’s wonderful! So glad to help 💛
My daughter has just started her store a few days ago. Thanks for sharing some ideas. This is very helpful for the beginners like her. I will update when she already get her first buyer 😀👍
Awesome! So happy to help. Yes, let us know!!
Hi Kate. Reviewing your videos and researching to start my printables shop. As you know there is so much information out there!! I came across some printouts the other day but forgot where I got them. I was looking at the Digital Product Starter Guide. Going forward for us unorganized moms can you put your name on the guidebooks so we know where they come from? Thanks for all the help.
Thank you for this video! Looking forward to your video on Place It!
You’re so welcome! And yes- it’s going to be super informative!! 😄
Awesome vid, Kate. Thanks much.
I am seeing myself in you love your intro your mommy glimpse at the start of the video i am mother of 4 have a youtube channel about motherhood but i recently started shop on etsy.. Got 20 sales in last few months 🙄found your videos quiet helpful..
Aww that’s so sweet of you, thank you! I love connecting with other Etsy mamas! 🥰😄
Good stuff! I've been an artist for many years but I've always struggled to figure out the best way to market and sell my stuff so this is really good info!
Glad to help you friend!
Thank you for this! Exactly what I was looking for!
Yay! You’re very welcome.
Thank you for this!!
Great info. Thank you
Such a helpful video I’ve wanted to start my own shop for so long (I blame the sticker shop Etsy videos I binged as a kid) and I always thought I’d start with a bunch of stickers and prints so it’s always been so overwhelming. But starting with POD companies gives me that space to breathe and get started!
For sure! So exciting!! 👏👏👏
For sure! So exciting!! 👏👏👏
Love this! Thanks for lots of helpful information to get started
You’re very welcome! Wishing you the best!
This is soooo timely! Thank you for this!
So glad!! You’re very welcome! 💕
thanks for guide us this video is amazing for me ..
Thanks for the info..i hadn't thought of some of the things you mentioned...thanks!!
Awesome! I’m so glad to be able to help!! :)
A very big thank you for this amazing content! 🙂🙂
Very welcome 💛
Hi Kate! So glad I ran across your channel. I am wanting to start an Etsy shop so I need all the help I can get! :)
For sure!! So glad you’re here friend- happy to be a help to you as you get started! ❤️
Thanks for the great video! I was wondering, if you purchase a subscription to Placeit and create a design, can you still sell the item if you cancel your subscription in the future? Or will you only have the rights to sell the item as long as your subscription is active?
Super detailed and I actually got all the details that I need! Thank you so much w
So glad to hear that! You’re very welcome 😊
Best video and easily described about etsy, going to put my work for sell
Yay!! 🤗
This was so helpful! Thank you!!
So welcome, friend!!
Awesome video!
Hi Kate, thank you for sharing your knowledge! Do you offer mentorship opportunities like possibly providing insight on my niche/digital product, the best program to create my product, etc. please?
So helpful, thank you
So glad to help! 🥰
So let’s say I wanted different types of digital downloads, whether it be premade grocery list templates, Instagram highlight images, iOS buttons, etc. is it better to make a different account for each topic instead of just doing one account that has everything? Is it possible for me to still grow if I wanted one account and made “folders” of each type of digital download? Hopefully that made sense.
This was amazing, thank you so much!
Happy to help 🥰
Really appreciate the video! I've been sitting on the fence about doing wall art, as it seems so many people are doing it right now! I guess the only way to test the market is too jump in! The niche I'm going for has about 5K results, so it's not overly saturated but in general (and not knowing the niche) do you think that would be enough to start a store? Cheers!
Hey! Yes I would think so. I say try it out and after some time, if it doesn’t seem to gain any traction, pivot to something else.
You're handling Etsy like NFTs and stocks. I love it. gimme dem statistics
Data-driven is the way to go!!
Girllll I feel like you jus gave all the cheat codes😎🤪 I havnt heard of those sites, thank you
Ha yes!! That just made my day! So so glad it was helpful 🥰
Hello Kate I looked at your course and was wondering if it goes in depth abt digital downloads or if it’s basic information? Thanks love your content.
Superb video thanks
So glad you thought so! Hope it helps!!
Thank you for sharing this information. I think a lot of people would love to successfully work from home. God bless you! :)
For sure! It can be truly life-changing ❤️❤️❤️
Hey! Adam, here! Found of SHD!
I just wanted to mention...
We have a growing FB community teaching you just that, (work from home)... Plus you have... ----> Kate's crazy helpful video content teaching simple model, with proven results.... (if you would be interested in talking personally with me - I sell custom business strategies including the business plans using only proven methods & models that contour around your lifestyle.

Great video!! How did you know if someone has same designs as you have? I want to know before I start to sell the digital products.
Thanks for the info.
Happy to help friend!! 🤗
Thank you!
You’re so welcome! 😄
Opened my shop a few weeks ago. No sales yet but I'm always looking for ways to improve and grow. Also, my expectations are realistic since I'm selling original art. I need to do some market research and practice my craft more regularly, too. Thank you for the tips, great video!
What’s your shop name? 😊
Have you been promoting your art work on Tiktok? I’m following another RUclips channel which shows how to use tiktok for marketing your product. This app is a really good way to go viral and generate buyers! 😊
@@TheLinguaChannel what youtube channel?
@@taehyungie0126 it’s called “Baddie in Business”
If you need a Canva designer let me know. I know how to make digital products like thank you cards , invitation cards , planners, to do list,etc.
thankyou Kate.. for this useful information ..
i was wondering if i can stop someone to look my shop once i blocked it..?
Just getting started on Etsy trying to decide about print on demand or just printables? Any advice pros, cons to each??
Great video. Thanks
Sure thing!! 💛
Thank you for your helpful videos, Kate! I have a question about selling digital downloads on Etsy: I am planning to be traveling for a while (a few months). I have heard that Etsy has been known to shut down stores just for logging in to the account (or doing basic store functions) from locations other than the country you registered the store in. Could you shed some light on how to correctly sell on Etsy and still be able to travel? (You could think of it like being a digital nomad - never knowing where you'll be in a week, but still wanting the ability to sell on Etsy without getting shut down all of a sudden). Thanks so much!
Hello Adam! You could use a VPN service. It works for me. All the best in your travels!
Thank you,@@AlegriaNaturalComunidad ! That's great to know. I'm glad the VPN option works!
@@AlegriaNaturalComunidad What is a VPN service ? Does it make it look like you are still in the country you started your store in or not?
be sure to buy the VPN service with the option: DEDICATED IP, not only the vpn software , thas is in share with other 2000 people, using the same IP in common with you at the same time, due if another person is connecting with the same random ip, maybe using etsy for the same reasons, you risk to be banned from etsy , with the other user). Also a random IP is 99% normally associated to people watching porno, or download illegal torrents, movies and so on, so the risk to be ban is very high. Choose a decent service, such Nord vpn (expensive over $100/y) or cheap one like ivacy $50. avoid purevpn, I have it.... my dedicated ip work very badly. Please note: The VPN above, a part pure vpn, don't have the option IKS (what is that?) iks, PROTECT YOU from accidental drop of your dedicated ip, means IKS kill the whole internet connection if Dedicatd ip drops. BE SURE TO KEEP 2 eyes on the connection all the time, as if during your etsy session, connection drops, for etsy is very easy to see that you are on the maldive :) hope this help :)
@@canvapikus8877 Thanks for the tip! I'll definitely look into this.
Wow, just wow!
❤️❤️❤️
thanks
Thank you, Kate, this was very helpful.
You’re more than welcome, friend! 💕
Great video! Can you do one where you talk about how to create designs and mock up for free? And does easy charge a subscription? I'm new to this so I'm still researching
Those are great ideas for future videos! Etsy does not charge a subscription (unless you upgrade to Etsy Plus) but does have fees that are taken out when you list items and from each sale you make.
Thank you!
I live in a country where the currency is falling so USD are not allowed to leave the country. That's why any fee that I have to pay upfront won't work, but if they take from my profit, that's okay.
This is crazy !
You are the best! Thank you so much for helping me out and creating this community ✨🙏🏻
I have one question; I am an artist drawing realistic animals. I have prepared several drawings ready to upload as printable downloads, but my style is different from all other shops and listings. Is that a good thing? Is it a pro or a con?
Thanks once again 🤍
Hey friend! So it can be a bit tricky because you definitely want to be unique and different enough to stand out from the crowd but you still want to create something that will sell and is in demand. When you have a completely unique style, you may get crickets or you may have just discovered gold. The only way to know is just to try and put it out there to see if it sells or not. If so, awesome! If no sales after a while, possibly think about adjusting your style a bit :)
@@KateHayes thanks a million 🙏🏻✨
Hi I have a question regarding the Etsy business, I created a different shop and do sellers on Etsy have to deal with IRS or taxes when it comes to selling digital products on Etsy? I had to give my SSN and I don’t know why?
Hi Kate. I put a lot of research and devoted a lot of time in making sure my digital items were going to be correctly printed, no matter which printer a customer used. I saved everything at 300dpi. My sister is an artist and I am a designer. My first customer had issues printing a clear sharp image so I pulled my Etsy shop because I couldn't afford unhappy customers. Do you have any suggestions? I can't let go of the idea of a digital shop but it's got to be right. Thank you for your help.
What type of image is it? Photo or graphic design?
@@KateHayes Thank you for responding. Some files were photos and I converted to vector files and others were my designs from Inkscape and Silhouette.
@@CKBannan I’d say try a few different file types. PDF will give you the best quality overall. JPG for photos and PNG for anything requiring a transparent background/ graphic elements.
You need to perhaps output your artwork to the actual size and examine how it fair as far as the quality goes. Sometime what looks good on screen can look really bad on a real print
Great video.
Thanks so much, friend! 🤩
Hi Kate! I have just made an account with sales samurai but my Etsy shop is based in the Uk, do you know if there is a Uk version as I am worried by using the USA version that the figures and information won't be accurate to what I am searching for?
Thank you!x
Hi, I've been really struggling with bleeds and margins for file sizes with art that isn't floating on a white background. Any tips?
Hey! Great Video. Where is the link for the guide you mentioned in the video? I looked in the information section and do not see it.
Thanks!
Hey Alexis! The link is: checklist.Kate-Hayes.com 😄
This is perfect! I started my Etsy shop in November making Christmas ornaments on my laser machine. I have a few new items for this year but just started researching about printable designs to sell. If you were me, would you have 2 Etsy shops with one for made items and the other for printables? Or would you just begin offering them in your original shop and have sections? Thanks! Love your channel btw. It’s been such a great help getting started. Blessings!
Hey friend! Congrats on getting started!! 👏👏 I’d say it depends on what type of printables you’re wanting to sell. Would they be related to Christmas or home decor at all?
I would suggest you to have a separate shop for print on demand items .. That way the customer who visits your shop will not feel lost among everything..
@@KateHayes home decor. My shop is now set for Valentine’s Day and I’ll continue updating it each season and holiday
Brilliant! Thanks so much Kate!
Hello
i’m asking for the fellas who just started selling on etsy, how long did you get your first order and what did you sell?
I started selling back in 2015 and started with pallet wood signs. Took a month or two to get my first order. Learned a thing or two since then :)
I've been meaning to open an Etsy printable shop for months after researching. I finally created an account after watching one of your videos. I even used your free 40 listings. But Etsy suspended me while making my first draft for my first listing for no reason. How discouraging... No idea why. I have no other Etsy account nor have I purchased or sold anything on Etsy before. I already sent an e-mail to Etsy support. No response (yet). I watched several RUclips videos regarding this matter and it looks like the issue is rampant to new account/shop owners. Maybe you could also make a video regarding the matter... I was excited for my Etsy journey but it looks like I'll have to make do with other platforms. Etsy needs to revamp their customer service.
Update: Etsy replied to my e-mail and managed to fix whatever fixing was needed. I'm now able to add listings and use my account but I've yet to really open my shop.
@@jdcv17 This is exactly why I am so afraid of going with Etsy. I wish you luck and glad you're started finally.
Hi sorry what do you use for finding your product to bring up to Etsy I’m have hard time with finding products to start sell
Questions:
1. would you recommend having our own site + Etsy?
2. If to have our own site, what platform would you recommend?
I’ve used godaddy and loved it. There are many good ones though. I would say, if it keeps you from building the proper Etsy shop, wait. But if you can give proper attention to both, go for it.
Hi Kate, if I were to use creative market fonts that requires me to purchase and use it in canva, will my buyers be able to use those fonts or graphic designs for free?
Amazing video....can you please tell me if the final price of my product is 15 and i sell it for 20 including shipping and 20 is my selling price. How much will Etsy charge me on 20.
Hello Kate! What you think about everbee?
Hi Kate, I am inspired to sell my artwork after watching your video. But I am afraid that my art would not sell much if tech savvy people will just be taking screenshots or just saving the files and not buying my artwork. Is it advisable to put watermarks on my display art (not the downloadable) when you sell them on etsy? Whats the best resolution for the display art? I have heard some people take screenshot or just saving the files for their own use and not buying the product itself. Kindly share your thoughts.
yes people do put watermarks on the listing pictures
Good vid 👍
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it!!
hi Kate would you recommend i get an ipad pro or a macbook for creating digital products? I’m so confused which one to get! Thank you x
How do you make something original? What if I made something myself and it turns out it looks the same as someone else shop?
what is more important when it comes to having your listing come up when someone is doing a search, words in the tittle or the tags?
Both are important! You want to have the best keyword phrases in your title and match them as closely as possible in the tags section as well.
Hi Kate! Have you ever upload an exact same design into a different products? (Separated listing).... Cause im currently doing that, and I don't know how to title it, i dont want the title and tags compete with each other...
What types of products?
@@KateHayes one t-shirt, one sweater and one hoodie, im just afraid the tags compete with each other..
What is the search software are you using?
Hello, I have question. is it ok on etsy to sell design with famouse quetes or prases from music or book, or name of songs?
what if you buy elements from creative market with commercial license and then sell on etsy, but someone else did the same thing you did. Can they say you copied them even though you both paid for the graphic from creative market and happened to have the same idea?
thank you for this video, I tried to sign into MINTA ... but couldn't
I've had a t shirt shop for about 2 months and it's not been doing well. I'm considering switching to digital products
So sorry to hear it’s not been doing well. Sometimes making the pivot to a different niche is the best move :)
If you only started with one paid software what would it be? Secondly, which do you use more placeit or creative market?
Great questions! If I had to choose only one paid software to start with it would either be probably Canva Pro for design or Sale Samurai for keyword research. Though that’s such a hard decision- there are so many helpful tools for Etsy sellers. As far as using PlaceIt or Creative Market, I’d say PlaceIt is easier to get started with for beginners because of the templates and affordability of everything being included but I personally love the style of what’s offered on Creative Market and piecing things together myself a bit more. It’s so hard to choose because I love both!
Hi Kate new subscriber here👋 It might be a stupid question but I am not sure if I understood correctly. So can we take any template from Canva edit it in any way and we can sell that?
Great question! You actually CANNOT use Canva’s templates to resell. You can however, create your OWN templates in Canva to sell. You can look at the designs of pre-existing ones to gain ideas/inspiration for creating your own :)
thank you!
I have a question
so I went to creative market and found the design I like, then I was about to buy the commercial license but when I rad the info it was saying that You cannot re-sell the graphics, copy or transfer them to anyone.
Can you please explain what should I do and how it works?
It may be that you can use in your own designs that you create with the graphics you purchase and sell products using your design but just can’t resell them exactly as is (without altering them/using in your own design). The license description should clarify.
I even have extended license and the explaination form their support is very vague.
I've been really confused about print ratios. Thanks for your explanations. I'm still a little confused about size 11"x14". I noticed that some sellers include all the ratios and then an additional stand-alone 11"x14". So does 16x20 scale down to 11x14 or is it necessary to create a separate?
size 11"x14" doesn't fit to any ratios, but very popular, that's why it's included separately. Hope this helps
@@blisska68 I thought it must be something like that. Thanks for clarifying it.
Ratios need to be divisible by some number, and nothing divides into 11
Thank you! I want to start selling my dad’s artwork on Etsy for him but now I’m thinking printable would be easier than printing and shipping. He does photography and watercolor mostly. Do you know if people sell/buy printable cards or is that mostly sold as a physical item?
I saw someone on tiktok selling colouring pages for people to print themselves at home, sorry idk if this helps/answers your question😭 id say try doing that bc shipping costs a lot and you would get less profit if you sold them as a physical item..
Yes printable cards are definitely a thing! I’d do some research on Etsy by typing in “printable card” or “printable stationary” to search and look at some of the top results to get some ideas for sizes, sets, etc.
I would say so! You could sell both just make sure to include cut lines and instructions so customers can have the right size.
Just watermark the photos so people don’t screen shot them and steal them
@@thesecretlifeofme9079 do you feel that watermarking is enough? What about making the photos low resolution and small so if they grab and drag it is small and appears grainy ?? What do you think ?
Hello! It looks like you don’t sell digital products on your page, do you have another shop for that?
Hello Kate. I love your tips very much. Am a big fun. I have a question, though. Do you think my location can affect the rate I sell on Etsy? I am in Kenya and aspiring to get my shop, but I have had bad experiences in the past whereby, as a freelancer, I do not get well-paying clients from the UK or US in the Job mills because I am not regarded as a native English speaker. I fear that I might open a shop and fail to get the most out of it because of similar preferences. kindly help
I think Etsy is a great platform as it enables participating from wherever.
It has more to do with your offering than where you are from. Make sure your shop looks nice and presents well what you offer, has the tags and keywords that people use ( and of course your offering has to be what people want to buy/need).
I personally feel like especially art from around the world is very interesting, it doesn't matter where the maker is from. Or sometimes it can be beneficial to be from totally different part of the world.
Just go for it!
you have the benefit of presenting your local art to the world
my question is, how long does it take to actually get sales? These would be beautiful printables but literally every niche I've checked in printable art is saturated, so how long can I expect to wait for sales. I have a printable art shop with 50 listings, lots of keywords and great pictures (imo of course) and I get no sales :(
How do you market?
Hey friend! Are you doing anything to promote off of Etsy? Social media, Pinterest, email, blog? This is super important to get traction in the beginning!
Prob need to do Instagram, Pinterest, FB, Google, RUclips, email funnel marketing promoting
I started getting immediate sales, and I've been steadily growing over time...just not as fast as I would like.
@@mslegalista That's awesome! I guess my designs or strategy just wasn't good enough sadly
Nice video
Thank you, friend!
Hi can i combine my digital product in etsy such as resume,excel template and calendar in one shop
Yes you can! As long as the theme is somewhat related. Sounds like these are all tied into a business theme so they could work together :)

Yay, thanks so much for subscribing! And that’s a first for me 🤣
Hi! great video. I'm exciting about jumping into the printable world. I need some passive income
I plan on trying to sell some of my designs as printable. Any advice on copyrighting images first?
Hey Holly! So you automatically have a copyright on anything you create but officially registering it gives you evidence and proof in case anyone disputing it ever takes you to court. Not necessary but definitely helpful if you’re concerned about the possibility of intellectual property theft.
Usually, I advise that if you can, try to have materials bundled. The costs can add up fast if you get a single copyright for every item.
Hi Kate.. Thanks for the Idea.. I'm Rod Vicente, a Photographer from Philippines. Can you give me Idea how will I make money from etsy? Thanks Again.. GOD BLESS YOU.
Hi there! There are several ways photographers can sell on Etsy depending on what kind of photography you do. First to come to mind would be selling your photos as art prints or digital downloads or creating/selling mock up images :)
What size are they done in?
I['m trying to shift from 9 to 5 work to digital work
That’s great!! Hope these tips can help!!
