    Starting an Etsy shop to earn more income is a great idea! Etsy is a huge marketplace for sellers as you can sell both physical and digital products to a huge audience. If you want to start an Etsy shop in order to earn part time or full time income then this tutorial for beginners will help you get started!
    I know a lot of people who have never sold online before can feel intimidated which is why I created this tutorial on how to set up an Etsy shop step by step. It is very easy and seeing someone else do it makes it feel much easier!
    In order to start an Etsy shop you will need an idea of what you want to sell and a name picked out for your new Etsy store. If you haven't already decided this before starting your video you will want to think about what you will sell in your new Etsy store and what brand you want to build around your shop. Once you've got a general idea you are ready to watch this video tutorial on how to create your new Etsy shop!
    Start your shop with this link for 40 free listings: etsy.me/2KZkfzj (this link may not work due to use so pick one from the comments!)
    If you want to grow on Etsy I recommend my friend Sharon's Etsy Entrepreneur course ➝ bit.ly/Pennies...
    Etsy is a great platform for beginners because it is a marketplace which means it already has buyers who are looking for items to buy. When you open a new shop on Etsy you instantly have the same access to all those buyers and don't have to drive traffic to your listing like you would on your own website.
    This is why I highly, highly recommend Etsy for beginners who want to sell items online.
    I personally love selling on Etsy and have made hundreds of sales in my first 6 months of selling digital downloads online. Starting my Etsy shop was one of the best things I ever did online which is why I want to show others how to do it and encourage you to take the step to creating your dream of selling online!

    💚 ABOUT PENNIES NOT PERFECTION 💚
    I started selling digital downloads to go along with my UA-cam channel in 2019 and fell in love with digital products. It’s been my favorite creative hobby and one of my best, most consistent income streams that earns me money every month even if I don’t work on it. On this channel I love sharing creative projects and all the info I’ve learned about how to create and sell digital downloads for passive income.

      hello! i know this is pretty late, but here's a simple guide for u! :D
      *FOR DIGITAL ART*
      -----------------------------------
      if your selling digital art, follow these steps.
      1 - 'digital file download' should be ticked during the making of the product
      2 - include the art as the file
      and that's it!
      *FOR IN-PERSON ART*
      ---------------------------------------
      if your selling actual art (canvas, paper, etc.), then follow these steps.
      1 - 'digital file download' should NOT be ticked
      2 - set up your address for etsy (don't worry, it won't be shared)
      3 - enter shipping price (optional if you want it free)
      4 - choose what type of delivery you want it to be
      5 - finish your product details
      hopefully this helped!

    Perfect! I wish shopify did this! Shopify is also geared more with using Windows so most of the videos were with Windows. I also know nothing about SEO and such and yet being new to this whole e commerce and not knowing anything, shopify was no help. Way to many videos on 1 things by many different people not giving all the information. You have to be really good a putting puzzles together in order to put all the different videos together for just 1 thing and hope it works. I wish someone said to start with Etsy first as a beginner.. And why. I will be looking for your tutorials. They are precise, clear, and understandable. Thank you! Honestly, other than doing the get myself seen out there to get the traffic video, (which I'll be looking for), you covered more the 100's of videos I tried watching for shopify to just get things figured out!

      ETSY IS NOT WORTH IT! CLOSED MY SHOP FOR A WEEK AND A HALF - AND I MISSED MY VALENTINES PROMOTIONAL FOR T-SHIRTS, AND I SAW OTHER STORES STEALING MY DESIGNS. ETSY IS A HASBEEN PLATFORM. THE SQUEEZE ISN'T WORTH THE JUICE. THEN THEY STOPPED MY BUYERS FROM RECEIVING ANY MERCHANDISE, DELAYED AND WEEK THEN 2 WEEKS, THEN 3 WEEKS, NOW GOING ON 4 WEEKS. CONTACTED ETSY SUPPORT AND THEY SAID, THAT INBOX IS NOT MONITORED. FUNNY, NO SUPPORT FOR THE ETSY EMAIL SUPPORT INBOX, CLASSIC ETSY, NO SERIOUS BUSINESS WOULD INVEST TIME AND MONEY IN A LOWBROW BUSINESS SUCH AS ETSY. I WONDER IF THE ETSY PLATFORM IS COLLAPSING AND THEYI ARE NOT TELLING ANYONE.

    Hi! Can I ask you two questions? Should my store name be my business name? My business name doesn’t necessarily tell what I do. Or should I call it something more descriptive even if it’s not my business name. My name currently is:
    Sterling Moon Designs by Susana (I usually use one the sterling moon designs for my boxes etc )
    2) can I build the store little by little BEFORE I publish it? I’m assuming yes

    • @CreateWithPennies

      It depends on your marketing strategy, you can go either way. I’ve seen successful shops do both. You can add items as you go.

    Very informative video. So glad I found you on You Tube! :) However, I don't understand why ETSY charge for shipping - I want to sell my homemade pottery. I thought that I was the one sending the wares to the customers. Or does it mean that I have to send my items to ETSY. I would appreciate to get clarity on this question. Thanks a lot :)

      You are charging the customer via Etsy. The customer pays Etsy then Etsy pays you.

      You don’t need a license to be on Etsy but you may need a business license depending on where you live to sell anything. You’ll have to look into your local laws for that, but Etsy does not require it.
