How to Start Selling on Etsy 2024 Beginners Guide

Hi Steve!! Thanks Heather, you always deliver!!!!!!

Hi Steve!

Hi, Heather. I absolutely love your content and have been socking it all up. I tried a few months ago to set up a shop and gave up because I couldn't figure out all these little details. Then I found your channel, and have restarted.Thank you so much for going over all the nitty gitty details. I have 4 listings up so far, but still need help. :) I would love your shop brand kit. I see lots of links here, but don't seem to find that one. Can you please direct me to it?

okay, new tips thanks haether. will watch again learn from your advise

I am just starting out and trying to get traffic. Could you do a video on connecting your etsy with facebook.

I want to start but very cautious because of all the negative comments

Hi Steve! Thanks Heather1

Hi Heather, great video(s)! My friend has her own copyrighted brand of kids characters/books/toys etc., that she has sold offline starting over 20 years ago. However, her sales have been nil for a long time now. I came across the POD business model on YT, and was wondering if it would work for a specific brand, with specific characters (26 to be exact). We were thinking about selling the characters on different children's products (PJ's, bibs, drinking glasses etc.). Do you think this model would work, and how would you recommend us getting started? Thank you in advance. :)

Hi Steve

Heyyyy Steve! 😉

I have a question, today a customer from France bought one of my mugs, the cost of the mug is $9.00 and adding shipping cost a total of $29.95. I know Printify charges me the costs, my question is does Etsy transfer the shipping cost to my account? Well, otherwise I can't find business logic because I'm selling to lose money.

would be nice to get past the billing page, but I can't save and continue.

Hey heatherstudio, any thought on hiring a video editor?

Does printify have to be paid immediately or can they wait until etsy pays you?

Heather I'm looking into this and doing the math, say a 30$ sweatshirt it looks like you might profit 4 dollars if that. How is even worth doing? Seems I would have to sell 30k worth of product in a month to make it as a fulltime job. Or is my understanding off?

Hi Heather, I appreciate you sharing this! In my experience, Etsy list videos are still trending in 2024!

Hi Heather, does is have to be a business checking or can you use a personal one that doesn't get used for anything but Etsy? At least to start out with. Thanks!

Hi Steve

Hi Heather, Great info! I travel around the US. If I log into my Etsy account from different locations will I have issues with my account? Thanks!

Love your content!

hi steve 👍👍👍👍
and
hi heather 👍👍👍👍

heather, im a student in your paid course and have been trying to reach you. Well, etsy suspended my new account after adding my payment info, connecting it to prinity and doing everything i needed to get started with POD. What can i do about this?? im lost and dont know what to do. I tried to appeal but they denied it.

Hi Heather, really enjoy your videos. Quick question. Do you use a “general store” or do you open a new shop for a new niche you want to enter?

Hi Heather I have opend my shop recently its been 20 days till now and i have more than 10k visits and i have 120 listings but only 1 sale till now😢. I wanted to know where i am going wrong i invest lots of time in designing and listing but unfortunately i am lossing my hope now, by the way i sell mugs in my shop, can you suggest me what i need to do

Etsy suspended my brand new shop approx. 3-4 hours after I registered, There was no email, when I contacted them explaining that I did not even finish entering all the details, they replied after 2 days saying that they have suspended the account permanently. It has been now 10 days and they have not even replied to my appeal.
Etsy has the absolutely worst support for creators.

Hi Heather & Steve, how would one go about switching from SwiftPod to Duplium? Not sure how to do this.

Thanks again for all your wisdom. This page is a gem! Yall.. Take notes!

Hi Heather I sell in the Uk only and find it frustrating that the same Pod products are not available over here. I use Printify and Printful

Pls show how to work with personalized listing

I've been up for about a month now, about 60 listing and adding to it daily. No sales yet but people are looking. I am motivated and I know it will take off if I keep moving forward. Thank you Heather for the straight talk and teachings.

I have just started a shop and haven’t had any sales yet (it’s been less than a week, lol), I have done one of your live sessions and I have been using your tutorials and Cassiy Johnson. Do you recommend any of your videos specifically that focus on getting those first sales? Thanks for all your great content!
