Hello Dylan, I am selling handmade cold process soap on ETSY but it's really slow going. I've changed and added tag words, revamped discriptive areas but still slow. Not sure what to try next.
As an artist and graphic designer I think people are pretty good at seeing the difference between something done by an artist and something done by ai. I don’t like ai art because it’s so impersonal and art should be an expression of emotion. Ai art just doesn’t have that
Hi Dylan, you mentioned in one of your videos that some sellers on Etsy who provide high quality, unique products often thrive on the platform in spite of the common advice given that posting a new listing every day (etc), on your new shop is the only way to succeed. It'd be interesting to hear more of your thoughts on this - for all of the makers & creators out there who are aware that creating a high quality product of value on a daily basis is oftentimes an unrealistic goal to set.
I am selling refinished and embellished antique furniture. I have sold pieces on Facebook marketplace but nothing on Etsy. I get so many people putting my items on their favorites but still not sell. I get hundreds of like from people on Facebook page and Facebook market place as well. I've added tag words that have brought my pieces to first pages on searches. My prices are competitive. So what's up.
I had a shop I closed because I got overwhelmed, but I did great with blankets! I will eventually put them in my current store, but probably my shopify.
Thank you! :) I would love to connect with you on IG if you have not already! @DylanJahraus. Once you connect with me send me a message with GROWTH1 in the message
Saw the title, said let me see. Then thought, who is this lady..Then listened to her all the way through and she lit every light bulb switch in my head. Very smart thinker. We have our own websites, after 2020 it was almost doomsday. Started using our Etsy shop in august of 2020 and we did $1700 that year. Last year we did $70k. Gotta try different things and push what works.
Since people can generate thousands of pieces of AI art so fast. Do you think Etsy will eventually put set up restrictions for AI art eventually and separate them from hand made art vs AI generated?
I'm a Native American artist/craftsman. I want. . to sell Native arts and crafts items, music Flutes, Pipes, prints, and other craft items on Etsy. Do you think this is a viable option? I currently sell my items at Shows. Thank you, Jack
Hey Jack. That's awesome! What shows do you sell your items at? I'd love to chat more, feel free to send me a message on IG @DylanJahraus and we'll chat more about your options. Make sure to mention the code "ETSY1". Talk soon!
Just discovered your channel a few days ago & aim hooked! I make crochet home decor like buntings, pillows, table decor etc. and wearable accessories: handwoven scarfs, headbands, hats... It's rather time consuming, but this is what I'd really want to do, sooooo 🤔 how do I go about it? Would love to see videos made for the (hand)maker-crew 🙃

I was trying to niche down by doing just mason jars in the coffee cup nitch. would the different words on mason jars work as well as for coffee cups? In that store I have 3 nitches-mason jars, candles and compacts and I do not plan on adding anything else. I figured there is one connection-they are all made of glass. I have just started another store with digital products. I was doing math homework, flowers,clip art, etc. I don't want to make anything. I just want to sell something from creative fabrica. Should I decide on one digital product? thanks
I ❤ you! #6 definitely helped me gather more ideas. I already thought something useful works best! I will give it a try. And Ive also downloaded your checklist! Thank you!
So one of the items you showed was a notebook/planner even though you said apron. Also, I'm guessing mugs & T-shirts for the AI art. I know you said no pillows, but wouldn't that be considered bedding, or more in terms of throw pillows?
I am a children’s picture book author that uses AI images to illustrate my original stories. I have a stuffed animal that is my canine character and an illustration from the book on a fleece cold size blanket, what other ideas might work to broaden my product offerings? Thanks so much!
I am devastated, as a true artist I am not able to compete with ai images. My shop looks nice, I have unique mockups and even videos of the painting process and nothing helps. I have SEO optimized, can you advise something?
Please send me a message on Instagram @DylanJahraus we'll chat, use the code "GROWTH1”. Or you can also reach me here at this link dylanjahraus.com/contact
U don’t rec POD for all kids apparel because a lot of sellers r selling it at such a low price (can’t compete)? Even if I feel like I have unique designs?
Love the video❤️ I just started my print-on-demand journey and found Crafted Threads. They have a ton of designs and it saved me so much time. They have something in every niche. And lifetime updates too!!
I sell fox inspired mugs ,t-shirts and pillows.Funny ,rude ,cute, personalised messages.I am new on this platform and not sure I’m on the right track,as I haven’t had any sales yet.Any advice ?🙏🏻❤️
I have seen most of your videos but I have never heard you talk about digital patterns for crochet or macrame items. Like graphical patterns. Could you maybe post come content on those as well? Thank you
I know a lot more about etsy selling just by listening to you than before. Just improved my seo as per your guide video and that improved my sales by 400% . I take your advise seriously and am working as fast as I can to implement them all. Thanks Dylan. Truly.
I sell coding related pod items (for software engineers, programmers, medical coders, coding/decoding passionates, etc.), started with t-shirts but not getting any success. Then I thought since women are the main buyer on Etsy, maybe they'll be more inclined to buy "safer", more gift-kind like items (because with t-shirt size you never really know unless you are very close to the person), also as I scanned the keywords on everbee I've seen more demand for coding gifts, mugs, mousepads than t-shirts. So now I'm trying to create those, only started a couple of days ago. Still, I'm wondering if the niche I picked (and I picked because of my personal interests and history) has any perspective.
We have a lot of students that sell these products! :) I would love to hear more about your shop! If you'd want to share the shop link with me in an Instagram message, my IG is @DylanJahraus. Make sure to mention the code GROWTH1

Hi, loved your video. Thank you so much for taking the time to do and post this. I am having ALOT of trouble trying to figure out what products to list that will actually sell. The type of online store that I have been trying to get up and running, for quite some time, is a store that focuses on selling personalized items and gifts. as well as personalizing items that customers may already have. The problem with this is that there are endless possibilities to what I can create and advertise and i feel that having such a broads selection may not work as well as one may think. I feel having too many items may be too much. I think i may need to find my niche, which I don't know what my niche could be. I am able to produce items such as: wall décor (pictures, vinyl decals), clothing, dishware (personalized mugs, plates, tumblers, glasses, thermos' and so much more), blankets, pillows and/or pillow cases, shower curtains, towels, labels, tote bags, make up bags, outdoor decor, signs (decor, directional, picture prop for example: a picture prop sign for a 1st Day of school and including things like age, fav food or book and so on), greeting or holiday cards, Memory Boxes (graduation memory box to put cap and gown in if just one example)memorial items, personalized items for pets and more items than I can name. I even have market for personalizing bongs, rolling trays. Which I wanted to sell as a package kind of thing (bong, rolling tray, ash tray, lighter and a little, round case) Also, because it is a store composed of personal items/gifts, I can make and sell picture video slideshows for any occasion or event one may wish. For example, a picture video slideshow as a memorial, filled with photos of a passed loved one, or A graduation picture slideshow showcasing pictures from birth - graduation. With these I can add whatever music one may want, as well as text throughout the video. I also have other skills I can hone, which is creating templates or other digital files, which do not really fit into the personalized store theme. I was planning on calling my online store "Personally Yours" or "Yours Personally"., whereby I would add the name to the back of every product followed by a space where the buyer would write their name, especially if item is a gist. Basically the same idea as ending a letter with Yours Personally or Personally Yours followed my your name. It is a bit harder to explain in text, but I imagine you get the idea. However, upon further research this seems to be a very popular name. I was thinking of going with "kiss and Sell" I chose this because I am not making the items totally from scratch. I am taking an item and putting my own touches on it and/or personalizing it for someone. For instance if someone wanted a mug with a quote on it. I would buy the mug but decal/personalize it myself
Thank you so much for going over all of this!! You have really put some though into this! Have you connected with me on IG yet? I would love to talk to you more about this its just hard to have a conversation on here.
Thank you so much for sharing your insights. It's hard starting out, especially with so many considerations to account for. I have an Etsy shop to sell my paintings. I paint animals, abstracts, and garden/flower scenes. In the span of over a year I've tried various things (lowered prices, raised prices, offered free size upgrade), but I can't seem to make any sales. I would love to hear your opinion about art sales.
Please reach out to me on Instagram and send me a message, my IG is @DylanJahraus. Make sure to mention the code GROWTH1 or you can contact me here at this link dylanjahraus.com/contact
I would love your opinion on having a shop that just started and creating a line in that shop of clothing...... I have a lot of unique hobbies that I know people buy specific types of shirts and things for...... So would it be okay to have one shop name but under that have lines with different names? Ps I've been posting on your videos a lot LOL I'm a new shop started October 13th, and I've made 2 sales so far which I feel pretty happy with bc for the first month I did so the things I shouldn't have in chasing other people's ideas instead of just doing me
I would be happy to talk to you more about this. Please reach out to me on IG and we will chat! Its @DylanJahraus you will just need to add GROWTH1 as a code in the message :)
Thank you for explaining the pricing on baby onesies... I spent a fair amount of time designing them for my shop with pretty much zero traction... unfortunately I will move on.
@@dylanjahraus Maybe I was being a bit dramatic ;) I just open my shop and started to upload products a few weeks ago. Since last week I changed all my titles and saw a surge in views and visits, still no sales but I am patient (100 views, 70 visits) and looking at the stats, I have no views for the onesies so I figured my prices are probably not competitive.
Ok thats great I understand where you are coming from. Once you change your SEO it can take up to 4-6 weeks to see any changes. What are your goals and are you wanting to go full time with your shop or is this more of a hobby?
There is definitely some nuance! Feel free to DM me if you have any specific questions. My team and I are on there a lot more frequently! instagram.com/dylanjahraus/
We have many students that sell these as well. Please connect with me in IG @DylanJahraus and send me a DM I would love to chat with you more on this! Add GROWTH1 in the message!
I have a question for you. Are you paying Etsy for advertisement? I have a new shop, only 31 listings ( it takes quite some time fully set up a listing ) but I honestly think your shop is not visible until you pay them to showcase your listings on people’s search
You can grow your shop organically with the right strategy in place. I would love to talk to you more about this if you do not mind reaching out to me on IG :)
I decided to open a store when I was inspired by your videos. I couldn't dare for a long time, so thank you for your work😊 but there are no sales or even visits to the store, although I have watched many of your videos and tried to follow your recommendations, but at the moment it is not working...😔
@@craftingretired No you do not. Infact, running ads as a new store is a horrible practice. There are many things that need to be done within your store that can help you get seen and unfortunately most RUclips Etsy Guru's do not address any of these. Ads is a waste of money, unless you are already an established shop.
Ohhh got it. Are you looking to have your shop audited? Please book a call through the link below so we can chat about your shop and where you at right now with your goals. calendly.com/dylanjahraus/program-strategy-call-cielo Talk to you soon!
Love what you said. I sell plants on etsy my shop is successful but I would like to expand my shop into vintage etc. anything to improve my shop. I wanted to add potted tradescantia to my shop but the overhead cost is high and shipping the delegate plant take too much to pack. What would you suggest?
I want to sell digital checklists but I know it is super flooded so I'm trying to figure out ways to make them interesting. I'm willing to put in the time if I know they would sell. Ps. FAB video - all great points!

Im sorry to hear that you were overwhelmed.

Oh ok! So you have so much going on! Time management is huge! :)
That is my problem, time management.
Blankets...NO!
I did blankets for all ages, last Q4 and NADA. There are a handful of shops just killing it...but the rest aren't.

Could you me a DM on IG? So we can talk about the challenges on your Etsy. My handle is @DylanJahraus!🙂
Shoot me a message on IG with your shop link. Let's talk about your challenges on your Etsy, handle is @DylanJahraus.
I would love your opinion on having a shop that just started and creating a line in that shop of clothing...... I have a lot of unique hobbies that I know people buy specific types of shirts and things for...... So would it be okay to have one shop name but under that have lines with different names? Ps I've been posting on your videos a lot LOL I'm a new shop started October 13th, and I've made 2 sales so far which I feel pretty happy with bc for the first month I did so the things I shouldn't have in chasing other people's ideas instead of just doing me
Hi Robyn! Have we connected on IG yet?
@@dylanjahraus hey Dylan! Thanks for replying 😍🥰 I have no social media.. Got rid of it in 2020 and love not having it 😂
TY!!! AWESOME
No problem at all! Thrilled to hear you liked the video!
Are you already on Etsy, or is it something you're thinking about exploring?
"Is it okay to open a general store without a specific niche?"
I would be happy to talk to you more about this. Please reach out to me on IG and we will chat! Its @DylanJahraus you will just need to add GROWTH1 as a code in the message :)
What do you think about digital clipart (both handmade and Ai generated)?
Please send me a DM on IG @DylanJahraus I would love to talk to you more about your shop. Add GROWTH1 in the message
Hi , do you coach only sellers of digital product or finished product as well ?
Both! We have coaches who specialize in both digital and handmade products so we are able to support you with whatever store type you have.
Digital templates for shadowboxes, is that just a dead trend from years ago.
There are a lot of sellers still using these in their shops.
Thank you for explaining the pricing on baby onesies... I spent a fair amount of time designing them for my shop with pretty much zero traction... unfortunately I will move on.
When you say 0 traction, is this because you weren't getting the sales you'd like? Or was there no traffic to the item either?
@@dylanjahraus Maybe I was being a bit dramatic ;) I just open my shop and started to upload products a few weeks ago. Since last week I changed all my titles and saw a surge in views and visits, still no sales but I am patient (100 views, 70 visits) and looking at the stats, I have no views for the onesies so I figured my prices are probably not competitive.
Ok thats great I understand where you are coming from. Once you change your SEO it can take up to 4-6 weeks to see any changes. What are your goals and are you wanting to go full time with your shop or is this more of a hobby?

Gotcha! Glad you appreciate it! Do you already have an Etsy shop?
Dog bandanas & coffee cozies. Thank you Dylan!
Thank you for sharing!
And is real digital hand made artwork a way to go?
There is definitely some nuance! Feel free to DM me if you have any specific questions. My team and I are on there a lot more frequently! instagram.com/dylanjahraus/
I am making a new form of candles
Cool!!
Even before AI, wall art was absolutely not recommended.
Hi, why is that , because it is over saturated ? Or because the art lacks originality . Thanks
I am wanting to sell hand made paper crafts like cards, advent calendars, gift bags and party favors. Please help? Am I wasting my time?
We have many students that sell these as well. Please connect with me in IG @DylanJahraus and send me a DM I would love to chat with you more on this! Add GROWTH1 in the message!
I love embroidery, and recently I put some DIY embroidery kits in my shop, but I don't have the sales I expected, is this a good product to sell?
Please send me a message on IG @DylanJahraus I would love to talk to you more about this. Add GROWTH1 in the message :)
I have a question for you. Are you paying Etsy for advertisement? I have a new shop, only 31 listings ( it takes quite some time fully set up a listing ) but I honestly think your shop is not visible until you pay them to showcase your listings on people’s search
You can grow your shop organically with the right strategy in place. I would love to talk to you more about this if you do not mind reaching out to me on IG :)
ill definitely try that, thanks!
You're welcome! Have you launched your Etsy shop, or is it in the works?
Thank you, really helped me!
My pleasure! I'm glad that my videos are of help. Hope you learned something with my video. I'm wondering, do you already have an Etsy shop?
I decided to open a store when I was inspired by your videos. I couldn't dare for a long time, so thank you for your work😊
but there are no sales or even visits to the store, although I have watched many of your videos and tried to follow your recommendations, but at the moment it is not working...😔
Please reach out to me on IG @DylanJahraus I would love to talk to you more about this! Add GROWTH1 in your message :)
You have to run ads if you new until you get a badge and reviews point blank period
@@craftingretired No you do not. Infact, running ads as a new store is a horrible practice. There are many things that need to be done within your store that can help you get seen and unfortunately most RUclips Etsy Guru's do not address any of these. Ads is a waste of money, unless you are already an established shop.
I show you how to run your shop organically without running ads
You are correct this can be ran and grown organically.
you just convinced me on doing it
My pleasure! So glad the video resonated with you!
Are you already on Etsy, or thinking about jumping in?

Love what you said. I sell plants on etsy my shop is successful but I would like to expand my shop into vintage etc. anything to improve my shop. I wanted to add potted tradescantia to my shop but the overhead cost is high and shipping the delegate plant take too much to pack. What would you suggest?
