I just started my store a few weeks ago, lost a little over a week due to being shut down but I’ve sold 5 items so far! I’m determined to be someone you interview once I reach $100k as well! I’ve followed your guide and I’m so excited to see this business grow!
Can I ask how you chose a niche if you did and how you’re going about choosing and applying designs? I’ve never done any type of digital design and really struggling with that! I also want to do shirts and sweatshirts etc but also maybe mugs and stuff like that in designs that I love, but I feel like I can narrow it down. I just like cute cozy stuff with plants, designs with no weird quotes, horror stuff. Like too many opposites. I guess I’m just hoping for some insight into how you decided those things? I would appreciate that a ton!
Love Mandy!! Love Cassidy! Love Heather!! Great video! Great seeing successful women entrepreneurs who are passionate about sharing information and insights! Women empowering others…period! ❤
Just opened my store. Was suspended after i tried to upload our new business documents. Started to stressing and then i saw Cassidy’s video about that topic. Looking forward to putting this all into practice! ❤
Hi Cassiy, thank you for coming together with a success story. I have just started my Etsy shop and made two sales. Can you share, please share your practices of creating high-quality and ready-to-print designs with Canva. Thanks
thank you for your valuable content. I have set my first shop on etsy and currently learning some illustrator and following your printify tutorial. Sometimes I just put your videos in the background as a podcast love them!
Hey Cassie, thank you for another great video! I was wondering, can you make a video of other print on demand items that we can sell? Print if I have so many products you can sell and I’m not sure which other ones I should branch into, what other products actually have people buying. Thanks!
This was a great and informative video. I’ve been debating on opening a shop for a year now and haven’t done it. Do you need an LLC to open a print on demand shop?
Thanks for the feedback, that's my bad in missing it! He doesn't speak the best English but I've been really happy with his work. Just usually need to change 2-3 things that don't make sense grammatically in each video. Sorry it bothered you! Hope you still enjoyed the video
Perseverance with 2 boys and running the house is a LOT. I still struggle with time management...lately have been neglecting the house because I can't seem to get enough listings up.
You are definitely not alone! There just really aren’t enough hours in the day sometimes lol but you’ve got this! It’s not a race so just stay consistent with what time you have and eventually it will start to take shape!
I personally have 3 shops on Etsy! My first shop that I made most of my sales in, I have a second shop where I sell mockups and my 3rd shop that I started this year to try some different niches/products!
Thank you for these great informational videos, they keep me going! I have a question regarding an order i just received and wanted to see what you think based on your experience. A customer just ordered a shirt for an event that they need by July 8th. This is with Monster on Printify. Do you think that I am ok with this order making it on time or is there a way to upgrade shipping? Ive only had 2 orders before and they have both been delivered within a week? What should I recommend to the customer? Thank you again for taking the time to share your expertise!
I was wondering if you could recommend someone who can guide me? Technology is sort of difficult for me because I'm older and this is so new to me. You have been very clear and I thank you so much for sharing. Because of you, I have opened my Esty store. I'm so proud of myself and also have designed many items, but having problems with uploading. Thank you so much .
Hi Cassiy. Thanks for all of your helpful Etsy videos! Mandy has excellent content on her channel as well! I'm hoping that you can enlighten me on something. Some t-shirt colors look different on a computer vs a phone. For example, Comfort Colors Lagoon Blue and Island Reef look more blue on a computer and green on a phone. I know this is a common issue due to different monitors. My question is, how do I know which color is closest to the actual color they will get? I don't want someone buying a CC shirt thinking it'll be blue, but it's actually green. I did add a disclaimer that shirt colors may appear slightly different than they actually are due to monitors being different. I still want to come as close as possible with matching mockups to the true color of the shirt. How do you handle this?
Here’s a question Cassiy should I deactivate listings that are not getting any visits or favorites after 1 to 2 renewals. These would mostly be my super beginner listings that now I look back and the designs aren’t that good to the downright “what was I thinking” ones.
Cassiy, question for you, what profit margins are you both sitting at? My assumption is with POD should be around 30%. Ive seen a lot of margins that are sitting way lower, and Im starting to think that people arent pricing correctly on Etsy....
Hello Cassiy! I have a question and I hope you can answer it...I'm from Philippines and trying to sell POD on the US market, and the print providers I'm using is also from US... Is there any disadvantage to that or I'm doing the right thing?
The person who commented back to you was a scammer that said to DM them, they had a 1 next to my name 😐 To answer your question, the US is the largest market for shopping on Etsy so I think it makes total sense if you want to sell to the US with a US supplier! This saves you time checking trademarks in multiple places as well
I live in south africa and i want to start with etsy and printify. quick question: is the location that shows up in the front page of a POD seller the location of the seller or is that the location from where the products are shipped from (e.g. awkward styles address)? I'm asking this because if its the location of the seller, that means south africa will be the location that shows up. will that not affect my sales since i'll only be targeting U.S. customers and they may think i'm shipping from south africa instead of U.S. (with e.g. awkward styles)
What am I doing wrong? I have three different etsy stores. I have only had two sales in only one of them. How are you getting ppl to your store to sell 100k of POD?! I feel my stuff is very good, as I am an artist and most of my designs are from scans of actual art, not just made from text and pre made graphics. How are you getting ppl to your store? Please advise!!!
I feel a bit despondent. Today I watched a video telling us all the reasons why we shouldn't start an Etsy store - and it made sense, to be honest. I know nothing about design, tags, seo, etc. If I start, I will be starting everything from scratch, learning bit by bit, making a lot of mistakes. This will mean a lot of work a lot of time and probably money - on top of my 9 to 5 job. I've got to be honest: investing that much and having zero results is making me think a lot if this is even worth it. Not to sound negative bu just sayin'
I totally agree with you and I'm glad you got that from this video as well. I have never said this is just an easy passive way to make money. Mandy had to work tons of hours to build the business she has now and so did I. It's a ton of hard work and learning that might not be right for everyone!
yeah probably paid tons for ads... etsy sucks... no traffic to your store seos keywords whatever dont matter.... too many competition plus others sell same designs for cheaper
not worth the time... you have to be lucky to reach the top... chance 1% (good designers real designers dont go on etsy they make their own websites where they dont pay crazy amount of fees and other nonsense...)
It’s always a blast when titans are coming together. Last time was Heather and Cassiy, now Mandy is taking the stage.
I just started my store a few weeks ago, lost a little over a week due to being shut down but I’ve sold 5 items so far! I’m determined to be someone you interview once I reach $100k as well! I’ve followed your guide and I’m so excited to see this business grow!
Wow congrats on getting started and getting sales so fast!! Can't wait to interview you girl, keep me updated on your journey here in the comments!
@@CassiyJohnson thank you!! I certainly will! I really appreciate your content ❤️❤️
I think we should all help each other out with our stores! What's yours? I'll buy something and leave a good review
@@chandasharma9896i love this idea

Thank you SO much for a great chat, Cassiy - I think we could have easily talked for hours! 😅💜
Thanks again for coming on the channel Mandy
What was your budget for ad spend to boost your shop initially?
@@CassiyJohnsonif you want to run with the big dogs as a beginner you have to follow the path they take not make new paths ❤
Love Mandy!! Love Cassidy! Love Heather!! Great video! Great seeing successful women entrepreneurs who are passionate about sharing information and insights! Women empowering others…period! ❤
💜💜💜
I just discovered Mandy this past weekend! Love her and love how you always raise others up! Thanks Cassiy!
You 2 ladies are my fave 2 RUclipsrs on pod bc you are both no nonsense and give a lot of great info. ❤
So excited you are featuring Mandy! She is so talented.
Cassiy was so much fun to talk to! 💜
I just started watching Mandy’s channel last week, and I really like her down to earth demeanor, similar to yours Cassiy❤
Thank you for supporting both of us! 💜💜
So glad you enjoy both of our channels, thanks for watching!!
I'm so glad you had Mandy on! I'm on her Patreon and a huge fan. Thanks, Cassiy!
Mandy is one of the best and she’s very helpful!
💜💜💜
Yes Mandy is great

Such great support for the girls! Go girls all seem so lovely
Love women supporting women ❤️❤️
Thank you Ladies 🥰

Oh I just subscribed to Mandy! She's so awesome and knowledgeable
Can’t wait to watch this cause I’ve been struggling with sales lately 😢
Two great pod teachers in one video! Ox ox
Aww so sweet, thanks for watching!
Love you both!! Great video. Hugs & Success in Q4!

125 listings for 2 weeks, still no sales, what do i do ? people are selling my exact product different design for half the price i cant compete
I had a small handmade Etsy jewelry shop some years ago, I just started print on demand a week ago, no sales yet, but I’m trying to learn.
Great interview. Thanks!
This was a great and informative video. I’ve been debating on opening a shop for a year now and haven’t done it.
Do you need an LLC to open a print on demand shop?
no
your editor is really dropping the ball on this one. typos and 'first 100 sales' being written as '100,000' twice in a row

@@CassiyJohnson Thank you so much. It really means a lot that you genuinely care about our success too!
Love this! Can I ask if you both have multiple shops on Etsy? Thank you ❤

This had good information. But it was a bit hard to follow because there wasn't a lot of pauses in between each sentence.

How about somebody who didn’t have a business. Already. Someone without that experience.
Somebody completely new. There’s a difference you know

Hi ☺️ should we open a business for selling on Etsy?
A couple weeks and only 25 views. I have excellent seo - it isnt difficult but the page is too saturated. I heard etsy ads dont even help :/
I feel a bit despondent.
Today I watched a video telling us all the reasons why we shouldn't start an Etsy store - and it made sense, to be honest.
I know nothing about design, tags, seo, etc.
If I start, I will be starting everything from scratch, learning bit by bit, making a lot of mistakes. This will mean a lot of work a lot of time and probably money - on top of my 9 to 5 job.

I normally like your videos but there was very little actionable tactics in this one :/
Bull. No money in print on demand. And $100,000 just means sold. Probably made no profit. A mirage
yeah probably paid tons for ads... etsy sucks... no traffic to your store seos keywords whatever dont matter.... too many competition plus others sell same designs for cheaper
not worth the time... you have to be lucky to reach the top... chance 1% (good designers real designers dont go on etsy they make their own websites where they dont pay crazy amount of fees and other nonsense...)
Hi is anyone else having trouble logging into Prinitify? Do you have a facebook group by any chance? I wish there was a way for sellers to connect.
Is this sells or profit?
This was in Revenue or sales, her profit on that will be around 25%
