I sell digital hand drawn art and sell as clip art and I can promise you, my digital art is one of THE most handmade things on Etsy. Drawn from hand, first sketch to final sketch, scanned, then redrawn on iPad more than once, first sketch to final sketch. It’s an art supply. It’s allowed. I saw a “Etsy Guru” the other day bashing on us digital artists saying we should leave because we can “sell on other platforms.” Yeah, for 10% commissions. Spoonflower pays 10%. But she sells POD where she gets her art from artists like me to make HER full commission, but we’re supposed to go away. No, gurl. lol.
I agree. Put my digital tools that I use into the hands of a non artist and see what they come up with. Digital art has always taken a beating and now with the dawn of AI ‘art’ it’s even that much worse.
Thank you! It takes a long time to create digital art. Ugh. I don’t know why people think the creative process is any less. 🤷♀️
Do you sell it as coloring books? What’s your shop? I love buying digital coloring sheets. Coloring on procreate is so relaxing. And I thought the same thing when he said this. I sell digital patterns, hours and hours and testing goes into coming out with the final digital pattern. That’s handmade to me
I buy a lot of hand drawn clip art. My business relies on it. My issue is all the AI. Not to mention I can’t look for anything without having to go through pages and pages of just the digital design for that item. Try to buy a tumbler or t-shirt. All you get are tumbler wraps and Svg files to put on the item.
Oh wow, both my daughter and I create digital art, and I know you deserve every cent and all the recognition too!
I’m so thankful for the digital works because it allows me to buy website design, packaging for my shop. This makes makes my shop or business more complete, so I don’t think digital art is bad.
I’m not bothered by digital and AI print on demand all of that. Digital design is still design. No we did not always have digital design because it’s a newer art form, but I don’t see why it should not be welcomed onto an artist platform.
There is design involved in creating templates as well and people want them. I don’t have a problem with that being offered either.
My Etsy shop is 9 months old. I sell my digital embroidery designs. Each design takes hours to create and I’ve been a digitizer for 10 years. I’m very happy with Etsy. I launched my website at the same time as a sort of safety net, which I highly recommend everyone do if they have the time/means. I have no plans to leave Etsy. I will continue to build my business in both places.
I've been selling on etsy for a few years now. I've sold handmade, digital, and POD to roughly 500 orders overall. I think it would be nice if search had a category system that ran off the idea that people were looking for physical items unless otherwise stated. I've bought a lot of digital products off of etsy, all of which were business related and I like that they are available assets, however, I don't like when I'm searching for a physical product(most of my searching) either to purchase or for research and a bunch of digital files clog up the results.
Do you use the filter button? You can find a box in there to check physical or digital products. It's not perfect but it will help.
Yeah, I use it, but I'm thinking more for ease of consumer use. I have a feeling that a lot of digital products found on etsy are business based for etsy sellers trying POD type products, or cnc files and mockups in my case. This is a bad example because it technically shouldn't be on the platform but imagine a new customer looking up "Star Wars" and seeing a mock up listing that they think is a shirt then turns out to be a design file if and when the read the description. Maybe that scenario plays out a few times and the potential customer takes off. ( this is assuming that they don't add a category key word at the start of the search)
I'm here for the long run. Shopify is in my future but I have things to learn and Etsy is a great place to test what's working and what's not.
Etsy isn't working so, a REAL selling venue does NOT influence your business. Don't be a slave to Etsy.
I have made digitally created decorative letters into vector images. the whole alphabet with the same decorative theme, so they can be used akin to real fonts. There was a lot, really a lot of work involved to get clean vectors. So yes, I do consider these handmade.
I've been on the fence for years about doing an Etsy shop. I've had some major life changes that have shifted my life into a completely different direction. With that said, fear is the main factor for me. That's not an Etsy issue, that's a me issue. However, hearing the changes and the negative feedback is only amping up my anxiety. I'm doing the research and trying to create a plan before jumping into having a shop. Etsy is, in my opinion, a multifaceted entity that is complicated. A lot of moving parts and pieces. I haven't ruled out creating a shop but the negativity from sellers is not encouraging
I started on Etsy selling antique and vintage glass, but now have an ETSY POD shop and selling 5 to 8 items per day, and LOVING IT. And NO I use original designs and not Creative Fabrica copy/paste stuff.
I’m glad you said that you create *original designs*.
I opened a POD shop this year and got sucked in with the “searching for best seller” items and recreating it. That many RUclipsrs tell you to do.
I’m glad original designs work 👏🏽
I’ve been with Etsy since 2014 and I sell crochet knit wear. I do have a problem with POD niche. I really think if are going to sell in a place like this it should be done by them and that is the only problem I have. Everyone wants to through up a shop without doing any work. I plan on sticking with Etsy and I really hope they crack down on all the drop shipping especially what’s coming from china. I’m working on setting up a Shopify shop to go along with my Etsy shop but I’m not in a hurry. I’m working on inventory right now so when I do open my website I will have items to sell and they have to be what’s different from what I lost on Etsy because they don’t want you selling the same thing on both platforms. My friends have had their listings taken down for that reason.
I just started a shop for AI/Digital Artwork, AI as a base, then I rework it in Photoshop. Here's what irks me the most.... While I'm following Etsy's rules for selling AI art, and being 100% transparent about exactly how my paintings are being made, both in my about section and in each listing, I see a ton of successful shops, who are selling AI paintings, and they do not disclose anywhere on their listings or about section how they are making the pieces. They kind of talk around it, and through their omission, are essentially passing their work off as non-ai creations. This is against Etsy's rules, yet Etsy turns around and makes these people Star Sellers. Not good.
Many wedding items coordinate together as a general rule. You need the lead item - the invitation designed first, then the RSVP, Thank You, - other items can be a different design but still should flow with a style/theme. Then there are items that can have a separate style. The invitation would be difficult to create backwards from other items - the invitation is the star..
100k, thank you so much for everything, that is helping me a lot, you gave a very high value😊

Thank you so much
I implemented advertising and it definitely increased my sales!!!! Thank you! 🙏
Me too!
I think POD is a completely different product than handmade and there's more than enough room for both... to use your example, people buying custom tees are not the same people buying a handmade quilt. I'm still trying to get my store off the ground, but decided to join AFTER many of these changes were made as they seem to be actively working to reduce scammers.
I think POD needs to be split apart - people making quick things with clip art & words to be printed on items (t-shirt, mugs etc) versus people who are creating digital art to be printed on items. One is quick and the other can take 20 hours to produce (after spending years and thousands of hours honing the digital art skills to begin with). While I dislike the cheap quick stuff, I get tired of the solution "throw out all POD" - which throws out all digital art (that's what I hear). I'm wiling to not call my digital art "handmade", but I don't want it banned, either. I want to sell my (digital) art printed on something ---- fabric and wallpaper are my primary items --- instead of selling digital copies of my art literally. I don't want to buy a big expensive printer and inventory of fabric and wallpaper, which leaves me to sell POD. (I don't have an Etsy store - so no stake there.)
At any moment Etsy can put your store in permanent vacation mode and you will have no way to get you all of your work back. Take the time create a square space account or Shopify be in control of your brand.

Let me know if you have any questions :-)
Honestly i love AI. I create both hand drawn designs then touched up in Photoshop and since AI text to image generation was released i also dived into that. And i love it. Yes it can create a design faster than i or other artists can draw it. So what? If you re creative the sky really is the limit. You can mix various styles, create whatever your imagination desires. The people who give AI a bad image i think its those who want to make a quick buck by selling quantity instead of quality. Fast generated images of low quality. However there s also people, like me, who spend hours on end with AI, researching new prompts, mixing styles, wanting to create something unique, high quality and beautiful to give to customers, people who otherwise maybe could not afford to have a handmade version of that digital design that would take days on end to be created. It all depends how its being used. If you use it to help you create and develop a solid brand that stands you out from the rest and delivers quality designs then thats great.
NOT embracing the new Etsy, but I don’t have a better alternative. Handmade Star Seller for 13 years.
Question about ads: If you are already running some ads, does it work to do your 5 day test if you add in that one (extra) product and another $5 budget? It seems like you would not necessarily have your ad budget spent on the new listing. Or do you pause all the other ads while you test the new item?
Why aren't people complaining about those like me who do embroidery? We take someone else design downloaded to our computer then all you do is change the color of the thread or add a personalization. But we don't design it unless you know how to digitize it. At least with POD, you have the ability do edit someone else design.

I didn't realise you could port everything over to Shopify before you open your shop? So you can have everything there, ready for when you want to open your shop? Thanks so much Chris and Scott 🙏
You absolutely can!
@@brandcreators Thank you SO much! Your knowledge is invaluable and very much appreciated 👏
That didn't occur to me either. I've been looking at Fiverr services that migrate etsy shops to shopify. So, great info!

I would love if you can do a video on how to make the most of a badge like 'Etsy's Pick', if you have any insights on it! And thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us. It has been helpful for me.
I think having a target audience matters way more than how good your design is. Of course, it has to be somewhat ok, but there are lots and lots of sellers that make hundreds of thousands with really tacky stuff, like sports logos made out of diamonds or borderline unreadable patriotic slogans on similar color background, brown leopard print mixed with tacky neon fonts, comic sans looking fonts with ugly clip art, etc. They just know their target audience prefers that kind of things, you can see it when you browse favorites of people.
I’m part print on demand and part handmade.. I’m disappointed in Etsy.
Do you guys do multi-product listings or you do individual listings with the same design on multiple products?
Each product should typically be it's own listing.
I also think that while Etsy is allowing AI, it also seems to be working a lot more on giving badges like 'Etsy's pick' to quality content.

So far, I've been spending more on ads than I'm making in profit.😟
Yep...
It sounds like you need to do a little bit of optimization! Double check that you're not wasting money on irrelevant keywords and really hone in on anything that's working!
Some of my listing have 1_
-3 % click through rate but no sales still. Most items have free shipping so I don't think cost is an issue. Abandoned carts get a discount email as well. : /

Question. I have a woodworking, sculpture laser engraving art studio. If I buy large groups of digital bundles of svg files that have commercial licenses for resell and I then put some of those designs on products I personally make from scratch or custome engrave and then sell the product do I have to name the person that I bought those designs or alphabet letters or images from as a production partner and or do I have to modify those designs before I can incorporate then into my handmade products I create and sell as artist creations?

I guess Chinese crafts are also handmade. The point is Etsy was handmade in the USA first. And it is no longer
Same as Amazon or eBay. No complaints

I have a question.
My Etsy shop has amazing photos, I started with 2 products the first week of April and have since added 4 more. From April 7 through today I have $8000.00 in revenue, with a total of 265 sales with an average 4.2% conversion rate and just yesterday got star seller. BUT.. I have been scrambling the last week or so with my conversion rate sliding down a bit and sales slowing. However my main competitor has since outsold me and my listing is dropping slightly. My competitor has mediocre photos at best. Slow shipping and doesn’t have star seller but she is outselling me. I am wondering if my product/page looks to commercial and that customer’s preference to her products is because it’s more handmade looking. Am I off on this, to high of expectations or?? Would love anyone’s feedback

Maybe they're putting a bunch of ad spend behind their listings? If they get more eyeballs then they get more sales which creates higher rankings?
@@belindaroadleyI am the one doing that, I ran u store wide sale today in hopes of securing better positioning for the beginning of June,.

I've always enjoyed your videos but this one ticked me off a little.
We all are suffering with etsys sometimes questionable platform changes but to hear you start off bashing digital as "not really an etsy product" to me feels like a kick in the digital nuts.
To me as a digital creator I consider "handmade" as really someone who crafts something like wood turning, bespoke metal craft etc. Something completely unique say out of a lump of wood, designed on the fly and crafted mainly by hand.
For everyone else who creates something unique be it a bit of fused glass, knitted items, clay, leather or silverwork these too are handcrafted.
In the same sense digital designers are also creating something unique using on the fly brain power and using the hand, be it using a mouse or digital pencil, and as you said in the video your own wife uses ai and layers elements to create a finished design. This is what the majority of digital products are on etsy.
Why is it OK for your wife to get a pass at doing something that she then uses to print on a shirt or mug yet other digital designers are being bashed for?
Not everyone can design, not everyone is software savvy and for some being able to buy a design and print on a mug to feed their family is amazing.
Without digital creators those people wouldn't be able to do that.
I think you missed the part where we said that about every product type and then told people to move past complaining about different product types and accept growth and change. 😉
@@brandcreators yeah keep nds turned it off, I will go watch the whole thing again now I've chilled a little. Like I say I watch your stuff maybe I wasn't listening completely from the off for 5mins or so..
