I sell e-cards & animated e-cards in another store. In another store I sell photography as digital downloads. In another store I sell digital stamps. I also plan to do e-books and downloadable rhyming poetry. May do pages for homeschooling and coloring books too. I have all kinds of ideas flying around in my head.
Hi, question.. are all of your stores on Etsy or do you sell on other platforms? Also, you have several separate shops for each little niche? I’m trying to decide if I should niche down more or even up more, and also considering opening another shop with slightly different target audience.
@@Sunset1705 yes, I do have more than one Etsy shop. Also have eBay, Amazon, RedBubble, Zazzle. I design everything from products to digital, to cards to books. I highly believe you shouldn't put all your eggs in one basket. I have seen sites close and take all my hard work with them. It's discouraging. I stay busy and never get bored. Each of my Etsy stores specializes in something. I ran a woodworking Etsy store for 10 years but recently closed it due to declining sales and rising shipping costs.
Love this! Having a ton of different ideas is a great place to start. You can test out which items are going to sell better than others and then focus in on which one does the best!
I'm honestly not sure why I'm so afraid to start a Digital Product store on Etsy but I just want to say thank you for sharing this information. Feeling a bit more prepared. :)
You're not alone. I've asked myself the same question. But this video and your comment makes me feel like it's time to get started. Good luck Sharmiyao.
Love this! Especially #4 😊 I wanted to also add this in support of what you touched on: Consider making a RUclips video demonstrating how to download and access digital files. An Etsy seller did this and it helped me tremendously when I purchased a specialty font that had extra options for each letter. She responded with kindness and added the link. She received a 5 star review from me.
Trust me, selling digital items on etsy is a nightmare. My friend was selling for 5 years and a bunch of competitors kept reporting her. Actually, they were buying her items, reporting her and reselling her design. Etsy couldn't do anything about it and eventually, she closed her shop. And yes, she was making sales at first but after 2 or 3 months, it went down and not only her but I hear this story so many times.
How could they report her successfully? If she had her items listed already, and they were 100% hers, there is no way to prove otherwise. I have a bunch of copyrighted songs in the US copyright office. What if we protect our work that way before listing it online?
@@BillGraper 🤔That's how it works on Etsy. You can report anyone, Etsy doesn't really check who the owner is. If you don't believe me, you can try, and you will see it will work. Etsy doesn't want to be involved in this infringement stuff. You can report anyone now if you wish to, you will see it works, and that's the whole problem. You know what, I talked to some people about it because that is a known issue, and Etsy doesn't care, but if you want to protect yourself, the ONLY way is to get a lawyer so when you get reported, your lawyer will talk with Etsy, and then you are protected. Is it worth it? I guess so. Is it expensive a lot, and that's another reason why most people lose their work because they don't want to pay for a lawyer. After talking to my friend, she told me many people started to sell on their own websites. If you count your loss by fake reports vs lower sales on your website, you are winning to be your own boss. This is something people need to consider more because people think Etsy brings free traffic. While it's true, getting a flow of fake reports is the culprit on Etsy, and this is enough to make you bankrupt. My friend lost over 100K because of this. There is a large network in Vietnam doing fake reports. They have tons of phony accounts with credit cards. Enough to keep you busy with counter-notices instead of focusing on creating and selling on Etsy.
@BillGraper I was wondering the same thing and if this can be done. Do you know how much that would cost and does it need to be done on each digital item?
Thank you for the tips! I sell any digital product I can think of. Ha! I have habit trackers, editable tickets, calendars, checklists, coupon books, wall art, and more. All of it is targeted to the busy mom who want to do it all!
@@benicio1967 it's not, actually! I'm using canva pro and watching RUclips tutorials. I've learned so much and I'm working on launching my etsy store in about a month❤️ I believe in you and I hope you succeed in designing wall art!
Finally someone who talks about the real etsy’s issues. I was impressed to see that none of the youtubers i consulted dont talk about the file’s size cap, or they dont say how much people is not comfortable with technology. Really awesome, this reality check is insanely helpful for creators ❤
People will pay a fair price for a quality product. Quality is the key. You are your business. Also knowing your customers and what they want is also key.
Hey Lauren! I don't sell any digital products, but I do watch all of your videos! I always learns something knew even if the video doesn't necessarily apply to me haha!
My etsy shops are presently print on demand shops but I am debating/researching/preparing an etsy shop where I will have vintage photographs available for digital download. I think the market is there.
Thank you for your info. I switched from physical to digital (different items) when the shipping rules/costs changed a couple years ago and also realized I was only making ~$5 a month, so.. So far I've made a couple of quilt block patterns (digital).
Thank you for the video! I started my shop a month ago and I sell digital kids wall art. I am slowly building it up and hopefully things will start to move in the right direction
@@cerealrakist7360 I think because the seller can’t do anything about this , they are selling that size product the buyer should have checked what size they can print on thier printer
@CovertOppossum I also am not understanding your post. Why would you opt to sell in a size that doesn't correspond to common paper sizes? I guess I'm also clueless like the other folks.
"You Don't Need to Price Your Products Low" Ouch 🤣! In my defence, I am still a new Etsy seller. Currently, I only sell calendars and they're targeted at those who want a simple calendar to fill in their appointment or plan their leaves. There are some calendars with extras like a Notes page and a To-Do List page for those who want something extra. I'm planning to roll out more digital products soon. Since I'm from Malaysia, digital planning is quite new.
And think of the value to your customers. It’s worth quite a bit to customers because they can print it multiple times so it’s a great deal at any price.
Lauren, girl listen! i just came across this video. And I like that someone finally said it. It doesn't sound as bad coming from you! LOL! As a women who's been in the IT industry for over 15 years, trust me!!! Oh lord! I totally understand people AREN'T tech sabby AT ALL and I'm talking simple, simple things! But anyway, thanks for the video. It was helpful!
Lol I’m a web developer, web designer, software developer and graphic designer so I totally get it too. My college made it clear over and over when designing a website always assume the end user is stupid and knows NOTHING and to never assume people will just “know automatically because it’s obvious” and they didn’t use the word stupid per se but it was close lol
So happy I found you. You are clear on tips & instructions. I'm retired & 70 years old just starting my Etsy page to sell all sorts of products to women in recovery specifically from substance abuse BUT I have many other women who follow my page who are recovering from other health issues, divorce, abuse, and more. SO MUCH TO LEARN! I've created PDFs but am afraid to load them because they all show "TOOLS" on my PDFs. Do those show up when you load them? Sorry, too many questions but will be watching for more tips. Thank you!!
This is pure perfection. I recently enjoyed a similar book, and it was pure perfection. "The Hidden Empire: Inside the Private Worlds of Elite CEOs" by Adam Skylight
WOW!!!! Thank you girl!!! Just starting out and already came across some of the issues you mentioned so this was SUPER helpful. Thanx again...from a girl in South Africa.
I just found your channel! I'm an oldie on Etsy where my history is long but 9-10 years exclusively sold jewelry but I started my business itself as a website and graphics designer prior. I came across sublimation and loved designing for that shop that I started selling printed products (started researching end of 2019 and started beginning 2020). After I had so many questions about my designs I decided to sell some sublimation png files in a new digital shop about 4 months ago. I didn't realize how much I would love it! Have you sold on other platforms as well? I'm about to do a deep dive in your channel so maybe the answer will be there. Anyway very good tips!! Looking forward to watching more! Wishing everyone the best!!
Thank you so much for these points, especially want to do about the large file sizes. I googled all over to try and find out how to deal with it and how to do it and you answered that perfectly. So, thank you very much!
WOW! Thank you, I learned some great nuggets! I sell digital papercraft kits on Etsy for now but plan to sell more collage art printable downloads. Currently my physical products are sold in stores and online, but digital products may just bring me the added income I crave. Thanks again.
Hello @CatheHolden, I'm delighted to hear about your plans to expand your Etsy offerings into the world of collage art printable downloads. It's a fantastic way to diversify your income streams. As someone deeply involved in the Etsy community, I'm always excited to connect with fellow sellers and share insights. If you ever find yourself looking for tips or guidance on optimizing your product listings or navigating the Etsy marketplace, please feel free to reach out. I'm here to help fellow Etsy creators succeed and thrive. Best wishes on your creative journey!
People are not that tech savvy...aka why download-able files sell on etsy in the 1st place. So them not being tech savvy plays to our advantage and we should be grateful for this and def not get upset at them because this is literally why they pay us for our "expertise"
hello Lauren! thanks for the useful tips. i'm just wondering how do you protect the link? Is there a way to create a time-sensitive link so it doesn't get circulated?
Thank you again Lauren. I have another Q: if you sell things that are not of the same genre, such as jewellery and print art, is it better to open two Etsy stores? Are you even allowed to do that? If so, is it best to do that? Like, people say "branding" is important and I don't know what that means exactly, so am I right to assume that one of the meanings is to have your store mostly sell within only one genre of products?
So unfortunate this question was not answered because this is a very good question. I’d really like to know what is best to do myself. Thank you for asking.
@@benicio1967 if I remember correctly, since then, I watched more of her vids and in one of them I think she says yes, that your store should be of one genre and yes I’m pretty sure u can have more than one store. Good luck!
Awesome video. I really loved the content and am very glad I watched this beforehand. I would recommend this if you landed here!! Again, this is an awesome job and very helpful information.
Thanks for the tips. Very helpful. I'm trying to sell digital photos I created myself. Trying some kind of other revenue streams to go with my photography.
Thank you that is so me. I have a real hard time to comprehend when getting a download from etsy or creative to put in my canva pro forever. I can never find it. Not sure why. But their is a better way is there I need to learn I can design but transporting is like whatever. Lol
thank you so much for the tips! my shop is called "the solaria shop" and i currently sell bracelets but i'm working on a digital weekly planner to start selling soon!
Hi! I sell digital art prints. I am working on adding more listings to my shop. Your videos are really helpful. I could really use your opinion on my store set up please and thank you!
Hi Lauren Great video and tips, I just have two questions... when you say have a lot of listings how much is a good amount to start with? Should you rather spend time creating a lot of digital products and then release them on a timed day-to-day schedule?
I saw another video where they said to have 50 SKUs. If you didn't have this many they said to bundle items or just post the same one multiple times but with different images and keywords/descriptions.
Hi Lauren! I’ve noticed when looking at digital downloads that people are selling the pdf, jpg, SVG in one purchase. Is this when you would create a file, compress, and upload that to your listings?
Nice job with his video. Very natural and friendly approach. Unless I missed it a video on the top 5 or 10 of the most challenging issues you have run into selling digital goods on Etsy or even on other platforms would be so helpful. I hope your business is doing great.
Hi Lauren, thank you for this video! I am still in the researching phase on the road to starting my own Etsy shop. I do have a question would it be okay to have digital products along with physical items listed? I really want to create digital planners but also physical planners. Idk I feel stuck should I just start with digital first?
Just a tip! Don’t get stuck in Analysis paralysis lol. I wanted to start a business and spent to much time thinking/ trying to make everything perfect. You’ve just got to jump in and figure things out as you go!
@@jaydensiba8138 Thanks for this tip. I too feel as though I'm in that phase. I've been creating printables for our homeschool and when I taught pre-k. My 9 year old asked me why I didn't sell them online. But, there are so many things to learn right off the bat, that I feel I have hit a wall. Lauren, do you have videos for setting up your shop from scratch or how to create a nice mockup for a printable? I am having a hard time finding a mockup for kids schedule printables. Thanks!
Great info and very good point at time mark 6.30ish Lauren. Can I add one thing about maybe helping people with shorter levels of patience to this please (I’m going to anyway 🙂)…it might help to remember that this frustrating person is trying to give you money, not go out of their way to annoy you. Also pretending you’re talking to the least tech savvy person you know and love, like a grandparent, might help. And, you know, just don’t be an arsehat basically.
Hey Lauren, just discoverd your videos. I recently opened my Etsy shop, I sell digital papercrafts and printables... well, haven't sold any one yet but I'll hopefuly sell something with your advice. Thanks a lot.
Hey there! Great tips. Question for you - I have 100 products in the can, ready to go. Is it better to drop them all now? Or drip feed them into the system do you think? Over time. And if the answer is over time... duration? 100 days? 2 weeks? Mainly I'm posting them all, so that I can show value to buying 10 pack type bulk downloads. Why pay $50 for 10 individually when I can get them for $30 sort of thing. Anyway, love your thoughts.
I see lots of people selling stuff printed with Jack from the Nightmare before Christmas the movie. And they are even Star sellers. I wonder if you can do that or if it is illegal

I see u got no answer but yes u could do that
@@cerealrakist7360 thank you!!! I appreciate the response.
Thanks Lauren. Very informative!!
Compressed file, needs a app or software to compress it or decompress, ussualy you have to pay for that service. So its's a hustle for people.
THANK YOU for answering the file size question!! I'm actually not sure why but it won't accept my jpegs as a product image either
To many stores price the digital products very low and this thing not good for all sellers
Not true
Love your videos! quick note, your blog website link in your description goes to an inactive website domain page, I just thought I'd let you know.
very practical, thank you :) have a nice day
Hi Lauren, Thanks for your tips! I'm thinking of opening a shop to sell food photography. :)
So helpful thank you!!
This is amazing. Thank you!
I love digital prodcuts.
Thank you so much for your effort!
I love your videos so helpful
Some great tips, thank you!
Found your video very informational and learned a thing or two.
Nice job with his video. Very natural and friendly approach. Unless I missed it a video on the top 5 or 10 of the most challenging issues you have run into selling digital goods on Etsy or even on other platforms would be so helpful. I hope your business is doing great.
Thank you بارك الله فيك
Good info. Thanks for sharing 👍🏾
Thank you
excellent advice, thank you so much
Hi Lauren, thank you for this video! I am still in the researching phase on the road to starting my own Etsy shop. I do have a question would it be okay to have digital products along with physical items listed? I really want to create digital planners but also physical planners. Idk I feel stuck should I just start with digital first?
This may cause confusion with shoppers so make sure if you do both that it is clear what they are receiving.
@@LaurenHeathCreative Got it! Thank you so much :)
I would consider opening two different stores and selling one niche per store. One digital store and one for products
Just a tip! Don’t get stuck in Analysis paralysis lol. I wanted to start a business and spent to much time thinking/ trying to make everything perfect. You’ve just got to jump in and figure things out as you go!
@@jaydensiba8138 Thanks for this tip. I too feel as though I'm in that phase. I've been creating printables for our homeschool and when I taught pre-k. My 9 year old asked me why I didn't sell them online. But, there are so many things to learn right off the bat, that I feel I have hit a wall. Lauren, do you have videos for setting up your shop from scratch or how to create a nice mockup for a printable? I am having a hard time finding a mockup for kids schedule printables. Thanks!
Great info and very good point at time mark 6.30ish Lauren. Can I add one thing about maybe helping people with shorter levels of patience to this please (I’m going to anyway 🙂)…it might help to remember that this frustrating person is trying to give you money, not go out of their way to annoy you. Also pretending you’re talking to the least tech savvy person you know and love, like a grandparent, might help. And, you know, just don’t be an arsehat basically.
I want to start selling on Etsy! I just finished an e book but looking to make more digital products!
Thank you sooo much! :D
What happens if we upload our digital product on google drive and someone share the link ?
Let's say we provide a pdf with the google drive link.
Hey Lauren, just discoverd your videos. I recently opened my Etsy shop, I sell digital papercrafts and printables... well, haven't sold any one yet but I'll hopefuly sell something with your advice. Thanks a lot.
Have you sold anything yet? What’s your shop
Did you sell yet
Hey there! Great tips. Question for you - I have 100 products in the can, ready to go. Is it better to drop them all now? Or drip feed them into the system do you think? Over time. And if the answer is over time... duration? 100 days? 2 weeks? Mainly I'm posting them all, so that I can show value to buying 10 pack type bulk downloads. Why pay $50 for 10 individually when I can get them for $30 sort of thing. Anyway, love your thoughts.
Love this video
I see lots of people selling stuff printed with Jack from the Nightmare before Christmas the movie. And they are even Star sellers. I wonder if you can do that or if it is illegal
Thank you very much!
Thanks for the tips
Your dog is so cute!
Thank you 💟
