I launched my Etsy shop in the winter because of Alek! I took the plunge! I sell digital wall art and now I'm expanding with POD. The shop is going great so far :) I look forward to 2025. It's going to be wicked! Love from Canada xo
Wishing you the best! I am planning to sell wall art too. Could I know which POD provider you integrated with your Etsy store. Was it Printify or something else?
I wish I could have retired in my 50's. I'm 65 now, I started investing late . After some research, I found a strategy that helped. I'm pleased to say I'm retiring with at least $2 million.

They don’t teach it as governments want us to all study and get loans that take years to pay off, work actual jobs - paying high taxes, be a good citizen and be a slave to the system
In my 50's now, have worked for myself since my 20's. My businesses are across several in person industries - tech, global art, global art education, tabletop gaming, and global event management (1 event/mo). The industries and product/services I serve compliment each other in varying ways, while allowing me to pivot when an industry has a slag in global performance (covid was brutal in events, but tech was running overtime to keep business's going). My time is my kryptonite - I build my businesses to passive with teams and systems I can trust, to keep them going without my daily governance. I have also been willing to stop several new businesses that were not going to ultimately perform in my portfolio - they are never a "loss", but quality control for overall performance & always a learning experience. "Stacking" has been my key to success. I'm now putting energy into a passive income online business, and your videos are absolute gold. I can see so much potential and can't wait to kick off this new business adventure - thank you. 🎉
At that last segment of the video where you said you were routing for us, I totally and wholeheartedly appreciated that and it actually felt genuine when you said it. So for that, thank you.
Fantastic video! Thank you so much! I love how you don’t beat around the bush with a bunch of words that add no value. I’m interested in getting more details about your Etsy Shop Academy!
I don't normally watch these types of videos but man you make me feel like I can do it. Life is in flux at the moment and I'm trying not to lose hope. Thank you for making the info digestible and easy to understand.
Well explained. Thanks for bringing up the videos financial education is indeed required for more than 70% of the society in the country as very few are literate on the subject.
It's a good sign that some young people (talking bout teens, I'm 21) are now becoming more financially literate and my professors do educate us about what to do once we graduate from our university which is also a good sign for the next gen as well as ours.
Remember, Etsy shop fee and listing fees add up. 0.20 USD each. Great advice about opportunity stacking. It's very worth trying different things and learning as much as possible in all areas.
THANKS. Just what I needed to watch. My wife and I are administrators of our farming business and our own properties, as well as small pensions. I am almost 56, my Wife is 52. We have started saving for retirement from the farm and maybe live off rental income, I would really appreciate it if you would do a video on how to earn passive income online and retire comfortably let's say 1 million bucks.
As a beginner investor, it's essential for you to have a mentor to keep you accountable. Gillian Sara sheeran is my trade analyst, she has guided me to identify key market trends, pinpointed strategic entry points, and provided risk assessments, ensuring my trades decisions align with market dynamics for optimal returns.
Same here all thanks to Gillian Sara sheeran, she has always been there to guide me through with detailed analysis and recommendations that I wouldn't have access to otherwise.
Thanks Alek, appreciate the possible view down the road. I hadn’t thought or realised your stacking practice possibilities . It really gives one hope to see how the strong foundation you have built can lead to greater aligned possibilities and a long term vision
I just launched my store because of Alek. I am scared to death but Alek made me believe in my self cause he gives very very clear information. He's very passionate and smart, that makes me trust him. I also want to say that I enjoy watching his videos, his videos is so well done that makes them look like a good documentary. Keep going and thank you
So what if my expertise is in healthcare as a provider… how do I create my own “stack” of opportunities? Where do I even start? I’m willing to do the hard work, and I believe I have it in me! I’m tenacious and I don’t give up easily… I just have a hard time visualizing the big picture and catching the dream. This video is my first glimpse of something GREAT! Thanks Alek!
Diversification is the secret to optimal performance. This is why I have my interests set on market sectors based on performance and projected growth, such as the EV sector, renewable energy, Tech, and Health. Keep investing regularly and you'll be blown away how much it can change in a few short years. Here's to $1 million and to FIRE
If you don’t understand the markets, stick to an index like the S&P 500. Dollar cost average and hold long term, or better still consider financial advisory to avoid losses
Sometimes I'm surprised most people don't even know they can do that. I've been making at least 200k every year from my investments by working with an FA. When you realise it, it feels like a life hack.
Wow, that's interesting . I've recently been exploring the option of working with an FA too. Any chance you could recommend who you work with? in her area and works for Empower Financial
‘’Aileen Gertrude Tippy’’ is her name. She is regarded as a geniusl Services. By looking her up online, you can quickly verify her level of experience. She is well knowledgeable about financial markets.
Fantastic video, Alek! Thank you so much!! P.S. I visited the Greek Islands this summer, too! Spent 2 weeks cruising the area. Santorini...ahhhh!! Superb!! Gorgeous and Delicious!! Happy you had a great experience too! Keep enjoying...You deserve it!!
Huge value in this video! The concept of opportunity stacking is a game-changer for anyone looking to build multiple income streams. Thanks for sharing your insights and the breakdown of different options.
tied Etsy drop shipping. I was told I should have 100 items to get a sale. Then found out people are posting items a 100 times each to get sales. Lost a lot of money and sold nothing.
Last year, I invested $15k in Crypto and made about $426k within a few months-and it’s still growing. I’ve always been a strong advocate for trading because it’s been incredibly rewarding for me. Looking forward to achieving financial freedom soon. And by the way, awesome content, brother!
My candid advice is to have trading guidance before getting involved in the crypto market. Alex Gomez is probably the best I’ve ever come across, he is well recommended for newbies and his technical analysis is one of the best out there any investor can engage with.
Trading is the real investment. The process of trading can be complicated when you have limited knowledge. However, with the right strategy and setups, you can be successful. That's the whole point of investing.
Alex Gomez signals and prediction is awesome actually i was skeptical at first lol, until I decided to try. It's huge returns is awesome! I can't say much.
Alek, thank you for the amazing instructions. I have a question: Is this prelist only for POD or Etsy listings, similar to Vela? I am in search of a tool like Vela for bulk listing.
Hey Alek, can i clarify one thing please. You mention the more listings the better and not to stick just to one topic on the print side. I just want to clarify if you keep your shops strickly to a product. So a shop for mugs but with multiple designs then a shop for wall art so on so forth or do you mix multiple items in one etsy store?
How do you operate several Etsy shops? I've done research on this subject and have seen a consistency in Etsy users saying Etsy will suspend them for having multiple shops that use the same bank account number.
Hello Alek, I love your videos. I have a question only if you have time. Do you have any information on PODtomatic? Thanks for any information you might have.
Great video! I am very interested in taking your course but I will have to save up for it. I am on disability (physical) so I have lots of free time. I want to create something great to leave for my kids (not going anywhere for at least 20 or so years) this video has my mnd racing so thank you. I hope to get signed up in the next month or 2
Try writing on Medium, just don't publish anything until you have around 50-100 articles pre-prepared. You have to pay a monthly fee in order to earn money and that monthly fee isn't worth it if you can't keep up, or don't have many articles, that's why it is very, very important to prepare your articles first before publishing them. The monthly fee is around 5 dollars a month. Hope it helps.
Alex we love you and thank you for your help. I will soon get together the money that i need for your course. I do have two guestions for you.....after i invest in the course how much extra a month do i need to be able top run this business well and how fast is your avarage student making good money with your system ? Thanks again !
FYI, selling on Etsy is not as free or as easy as this video sounds. It’s not just “Design a tshirt and upload it to Etsy, they do all the work!” There are hundreds of thousands of Etsy sellers and to get your product seen and sold you DO have to a lot of work. You need to do product research, marketing/ads with SEO, listings optimization, seller customer service, you need to create store components (logo, branding, assets, auto-emails, social media pages), and then you need to be creating/listing products and addressing returns/unhappy customers if any (drop shipping products always gets at least a few)
Hey @Alec, how long do the companies you are an affiliate marketer for keep paying you commission? I had heard it is only for a limited time..like a month or two?
Hey Alek - do you run Etsy ads for your Etsy shops or no? If not, it would be amazing if you could make a video (if you haven't already) about optimizing Etsy listing SEO to appear higher up in searches. The over-saturation of Etsy is like the most unattractive thing to me about this biz model. Let me know - thanks.
all big shops do. they also run 24 hour sales(same thing runs every 24 hours lol). there is not much to it other than setting up everything else correctly first and make sure you are actually selling first before running ads to that listing.
Hey Alek , very good video ! I was wondering if I can help you with more Quality Editing in your videos and make Highly Engaging Thumbnails which will help your videos to get more views and engagement . Please let me know what do you think ?
bro...how many employees you have? including VAs lol..cuz there is no way you are doing all this by yourself. I can barely manage one shop and I have one VA helping me with designs
@@alex-y5f4g it's 20 cents per listing yes you pay up front. Small price to pay for organic market place traffic where people are looking for things to buy.
It's retail, essentially, focusing on winning products and sourcing them from distributors. All retail outlets have a mark up. It's just that you have an independent storefront rather than on one of the big platforms like Amazon FBA etc
well per listing is 0,20 cent for example t shirt listing but in listing you have more than one colour of this t shirt and design on every of it. so in one listing for 20 cent can be 20 different colours. is not that big problem in listing fee. more in shipping costs and transaction fee.
@@RandomButBeautifulwell i figured if he’s making any revenue from youtube he would know the exact answer, vs someone who doesn’t have a channel (Tax professional)
Oof kinda dystopian looking at someone with 5+ streams of income. Long gone are the days of working 1 job and making ends meet. You gotta be a content creator, shipper, entrepreneur/business owner, Etsy seller. Nah bruh just gimmie my W2 I’ll work my 8 hrs and enjoy the rest of my life.

Hi my name is Yotam I am 13 years old and I have recently been researching how to make money, I am now trying to start a Pod shop it is quite difficult because all the videos I found are not really up to date or do not show step by step, I know I have to be over 18 to create a Pod shop But I am trying to create a store on my parents name. I was wondering if you could make a video explaining how to create a print on demand store or in general a way for a child my age to make money (and not as a babysitter). I hope you will take me seriously despite my age, thanks. By the way, do you have a Discord group?
ppl not making it likely isn't his fault. most people don't actually wanna put in the work it takes to get where they want to be. while I didnt sign up for his course I 100% believe there is value in it EVEN for sellers like myself who already know most things about etsy and have successful shops running.
Too many people on Etsy now the big money has already been made. You to get into this around 2 to 3 years ago during Covid. Just google Etsy and you will get a 1000 links with articles talking about this
Hey Alek, awesome video! Your unique style really stands out. I'm a video editing specialist focused on RUclips growth, and I can help enhance your content with high-quality edits and engaging thumbnails. If you're ever open to exploring new ideas or strategies that can boost your channel further, I'd love to connect and see how we can collaborate. Let me know your thoughts!
@alex I used your code and set up a shop to drop ship as you outlined, and it was immediately banned. Can you offer any insights? Does not seem as easy as it sounded..
Just appeal the ban. It's somewhat 'normal' for a brand new shop to get suspended if Etsy can't immediately verify the owner's information. They'll reinstate it if you didn't break any rules 👍
@@FunnyShellBear Lol, appreciate the comment! Further context.. I swear I'm a small business designer trying to sell my apparel, as-intended on a small business designer marketplace for original products. Maybe I misread something in the 30 page "Terms of Service", but I'm not sure what makes @etsy think I'm a scamful Chinese ripoff bot or whatever. Totally lame and counter to the mantra of Etsy, but who cares about that right. The algorithm said no. It just seems odd that I followed Alex's direction to sell my clothing designs through drop-ship on Etsy, exactly how he does, and with zero explanation as to why (no email, no warnings, no communication at all from Etsy, a human, or a lawyer.. ;) ) I'm now banned from Etsy forever.... I'm not the only one as I'm seeing the same exact scenario pop up all over Reddit. Seems like Etsy isn't going to be around much longer if that's what they're doing these days. I guess I should tweet them about it to get a real answer. Was hoping Alex might have insight...
@@alekSheffy Thanks for the comment! I immediately appealed the "decision" despite zero communication email or otherwise from Etsy explaining the ban, as their terms stated they would. Just a ban notice with a link to appeal. I submitted my appeal, and the response was essentially "we reviewed your appeal and have suspended your account permanently and any other accounts you try to create in the future" Like.. what? I feel there would need to be some major precedence and blatant violation of the platform or its users to make that kind of decision. It's either suspiciously vague on purpose (not sure what that reasoning would be), or Etsy is unknowingly sabotaging itself in order to dodge investing in an actual solution for combating fake sellers using drop-shipping. Totally contradictory in whatever scenario that I'm even having to write about this whole experience. If Etsy had a customer service email or chat or number, I would be sure to send them this information and appeal once again, but unfortunately that doesn't exist either for some reason :)
I launched my Etsy shop in the winter because of Alek! I took the plunge! I sell digital wall art and now I'm expanding with POD. The shop is going great so far :) I look forward to 2025. It's going to be wicked! Love from Canada xo

Your my inspiration today. Thanks for sharing!
so it will cost us $20 to list 100 t shirts/cups or $ 200 to list 1000 ? this is money we pay in advance ?
I wish they taught investing at school level. There is so much advantage to doing this!

Trading in Bitcoin now is the wisest thing to do now especially beginner.....
Most people think, investing in crypto is all about buying coins and hodling, come on it takes much analysis to be a successful crypto trader.
Please how do I go about it, am still a newbie on investment trading and how can I make profit?
Kathleen's assessment of cryptocurrencies is by far the most accurate... A must for all beginners and experienced crypto traders.
Ever since I started following Kathleen Susan strategies, my trading game has elevated to new heights truly a mastermind in the trading

@@alex-y5f4g it's 20 cents per listing yes you pay up front. Small price to pay for organic market place traffic where people are looking for things to buy.
so drop shipping is just creating a more expensive link for a product..
It's retail, essentially, focusing on winning products and sourcing them from distributors. All retail outlets have a mark up. It's just that you have an independent storefront rather than on one of the big platforms like Amazon FBA etc

@MP16_FF please explain
@MP16_FF but everyone says we need to pay everytime we upload...
well per listing is 0,20 cent for example t shirt listing but in listing you have more than one colour of this t shirt and design on every of it. so in one listing for 20 cent can be 20 different colours. is not that big problem in listing fee. more in shipping costs and transaction fee.
Are sponsorships taxed??
don't ask the internet, ask a tax pro. Probably, I would say... all internet revenue is generally taxable revenue
@@RandomButBeautifulwell i figured if he’s making any revenue from youtube he would know the exact answer, vs someone who doesn’t have a channel (Tax professional)
@@Thomas_Ware well I have a dozen channels, but a tax professional is qualified to give tax advice, youtubers aren't.
🔝
i love you from pakistan

Oof kinda dystopian looking at someone with 5+ streams of income. Long gone are the days of working 1 job and making ends meet. You gotta be a content creator, shipper, entrepreneur/business owner, Etsy seller. Nah bruh just gimmie my W2 I’ll work my 8 hrs and enjoy the rest of my life.
just flipped perspectives I guess
nothing sounds more dystopian to me that being underneath someone's thumb
@alekSheffy, I'll give Etsy or other platforms a try.
I'd be happy to make 2000 to 5000 a month.
🥰🥰
7:06.... free where? Someone send the link. Where's this free product uploading tool he's talking about? Better not be one of those click the link and sign up schemes
No it's an old programmer who died who wrote it. That's why he can't charge for it, it was charity to begin with.
@@SusanAschner okay but what is it?
WhY do maKe YoutUbe videos iF you make SO much money???
@Aleksheffy.00 ... smh bot
Because it's ANOTHER income stream.
Do you think business people have just one business? They have many different income sources

@@alekSheffy you didn't understand?
Sir I wanna talk to you , how can I contact you ? Tell me please
Hi my name is Yotam I am 13 years old and I have recently been researching how to make money, I am now trying to start a Pod shop it is quite difficult because all the videos I found are not really up to date or do not show step by step, I know I have to be over 18 to create a Pod shop But I am trying to create a store on my parents name. I was wondering if you could make a video explaining how to create a print on demand store or in general a way for a child my age to make money (and not as a babysitter). I hope you will take me seriously despite my age, thanks. By the way, do you have a Discord group?
Here's interesting fact, who's making money after his etsy course?
P.S. Most of them sell just a dream, a lot of things, they didn't say.....
ppl not making it likely isn't his fault. most people don't actually wanna put in the work it takes to get where they want to be. while I didnt sign up for his course I 100% believe there is value in it EVEN for sellers like myself who already know most things about etsy and have successful shops running.
@ebayseller6040 nah he makes it seem way too lucrative and easy. Been doing POD for ages and no way is he making 100k profit per month. Zero chance.
Too many people on Etsy now the big money has already been made. You to get into this around 2 to 3 years ago during Covid. Just google Etsy and you will get a 1000 links with articles talking about this
Hey Alek, awesome video! Your unique style really stands out.

If you're ever open to exploring new ideas or strategies that can boost your channel further, I'd love to connect and see how we can collaborate. Let me know your thoughts!
@alex I used your code and set up a shop to drop ship as you outlined, and it was immediately banned. Can you offer any insights? Does not seem as easy as it sounded..
Depends what you were selling… certain items are banned, and going from your username here, that is probably why…?! 😂
Just appeal the ban. It's somewhat 'normal' for a brand new shop to get suspended if Etsy can't immediately verify the owner's information. They'll reinstate it if you didn't break any rules 👍
@@FunnyShellBear Lol, appreciate the comment! Further context.. I swear I'm a small business designer trying to sell my apparel, as-intended on a small business designer marketplace for original products. Maybe I misread something in the 30 page "Terms of Service", but I'm not sure what makes @etsy think I'm a scamful Chinese ripoff bot or whatever. Totally lame and counter to the mantra of Etsy, but who cares about that right. The algorithm said no. It just seems odd that I followed Alex's direction to sell my clothing designs through drop-ship on Etsy, exactly how he does, and with zero explanation as to why (no email, no warnings, no communication at all from Etsy, a human, or a lawyer.. ;) ) I'm now banned from Etsy forever.... I'm not the only one as I'm seeing the same exact scenario pop up all over Reddit. Seems like Etsy isn't going to be around much longer if that's what they're doing these days. I guess I should tweet them about it to get a real answer. Was hoping Alex might have insight...
@@alekSheffy Thanks for the comment! I immediately appealed the "decision" despite zero communication email or otherwise from Etsy explaining the ban, as their terms stated they would. Just a ban notice with a link to appeal. I submitted my appeal, and the response was essentially "we reviewed your appeal and have suspended your account permanently and any other accounts you try to create in the future" Like.. what? I feel there would need to be some major precedence and blatant violation of the platform or its users to make that kind of decision. It's either suspiciously vague on purpose (not sure what that reasoning would be), or Etsy is unknowingly sabotaging itself in order to dodge investing in an actual solution for combating fake sellers using drop-shipping. Totally contradictory in whatever scenario that I'm even having to write about this whole experience. If Etsy had a customer service email or chat or number, I would be sure to send them this information and appeal once again, but unfortunately that doesn't exist either for some reason :)
Thank you alek
