I listen to all of you and even joined Cassidy community. You all say the same things and some even let us know what to post which is very helpful and grateful!!! 😊I noticed some of those really big shops many if not most buy svg and png designs and sell them next to nothing. Some are trademarked etc… rarely in their shop do they make their own designs. What I find with Etsy is they keep the same high ranking shops on the first two pages so they don’t lose their fees from these shops… you even see some best selling on newest designs pages… only my humble opinion … but I do love making designs so fun 😊
Cassiy is my top influencer, followed by you, and sometimes the Rock Your Brand channel. You're fantastic teacher with how you explain things. Cassiy is so calm and practical in her guidance. I appreciate you both so much.
Aw thanks so much! You are so kind! And you are in great hands with those content creators! Thanks for taking a second to leave a comment Elizabeth! That makes another belly rub for Tucker!
I love all the ones you mentioned but I’d definitely add simply pod with Mandy. Great design ideas, and she has a time blocking serious and ideas to streamline your design, uploads, etc. Also, Alex and hello custom
@@RodeoGulchDesigns-mc5vl yes! I love her too! She came later in my journey as she wasn’t doing UA-cam while I was growing! Alex and Hello Custom too! Great channels!
Andreas! We need to catch up soon! For anyone who doesn't know Andreas's channel yet... check him out here!!! www.youtube.com/@wtfamievendoing. Are you finding it hard to juggle UA-cam and your Etsy shop!?! They are both beasts!!!!
First time watcher here and new to POD but not Etsy. I really got a lot from this video and plan to implement in my POD store but also my handmade store. Thanks so much for the clear info and tips.
Shawna, I just love watching your videos. You are always so positive and I learn with a big smile on my face. Research, research, research! I need to do more and watching this has cemented that in my mind. Such great information!
Always looking forward to seeing your videos! Yes I came across the other gurus before you but you are my favourite and I LOVE your content!! Thank you for always giving your 💯 Shawna!! ❤❤
I've got to say, buying the General Niche Calendar (and all the other niche calendars Shawna offers) and joining Shawna's membership are by far the best decisions I have made for my business in 13 months on Etsy! EVERYTHING I did before doing these two things got me nowhere! I now have some traction in my shop specifically because of Shawna. I have tons of work still to do but I now am certain that I WILL achieve the success I want with Etsy. I say these things because for those watching this video, you need to know that these niche calendars are worth their weight in gold! And the fact that you will get direct access to Shawna will change everything, or at least it did for me!
I am so proud of you for the work you’ve put in! You got this Vivienne! 🤩 And thank you bunches and bunches and bunches for the amazing words! You are always so encouraging! I love seeing you in my comments every single time!
@@robynlatorre7044 i was thinking the same thing. Only 12 sales in the last 30 days. I need to compare to last year which was my first real 4th 1/4. To see what the difference is. However most of my sales are from evergreen items not seasonal.
Thanks for the informative video! I have a question. :) I have recently opened a POD shop and uploaded few listings (iphone cases). I noticed that personalized listings get more attention. However, i feel that if i sell phone cases alone and focus on it, it seems too restricting if I am going to follow trends and apply the designs on the phone cases. So my question is, is it okay if I sell other custom/personalized items, other than phone cases? Let’s say.. personalized shirt, or personalized mugs etc etc.. so i could easily apply trends on those areas? Thank you so much in advance ❤
@@jdentartist Hey there! Thanks for watching! You can totally add more products to your shop! I would maybe just pick two or three to focus on! Hope this helps!
I subscribed to your channel a while back and I have enjoyed your content. I too follow the same people you mentioned with the exception of Hannah Gardner. I haven't heard of her until now. She can thank you for one more subscriber :) . I also love Crystal's Crafties. She is one of my favorites. I have learned a lot about designing, in particular, from her videos. Thanks again for all you do.
Thank you so much for checking out my video, and I am so excited to be a part of your Etsy journey! I hope you love Hannah’s channel as much as I do! 😊 And I am going to go checkout Crystal's Crafties right now!
Apologies for butchering their YT names, but I also love SimplyMandyPOD, MoneywithMak, MegitRain, JoeRoberts (Shopify, but still POD), HannahEbeling to name a few more
@@natitafr2739 Hey there! So sorry! We actually made this decision based on market research on UA-cam! lol! Hopefully you got through the First 90 seconds… the music stops when I really get into it for you! Thanks for the feedback! I’ll def consider it when playing with the element of music next time.
Lol! Poor guy! I need to give my little Tucky a raise with all I put him through! Keep your eyes peeled! I got him a nutcracker outfit... and I can't wait to do a Tucker take with him in it!

SHAWNA! I just got my biggest order ever, of six shirts! The irony is, it wasn't even a group listing, just a profession niche lol
@@hannahjoy4857 whoo hooo! The professional niche is awesome because it can often lead to group seals! A big congrats to you, Hannah!!!

I like Simply Shawna videos heehee. FINALLY got my first sale but still need help. Thank you for the encouragement.

I am realizing just how much research 1st is sooo, sooo important.
@@mirandadoolittle8079 You are so right Miranda!
You were my first mentor. Because of you I started POD in April. I just realized how it works in your video.
Yay Rashel! Congrats on taking action with your UA-cam journey and thank you for letting me be a part of your journey!

Another great video! So much fun and great tips!
@@Barculocity Thank you! I’m so glad you enjoyed this one!

So much content to watch... so little time!

Shawna!! this lipstick is working for you ma’am.
Thanks! Red lipstick just jazzes everything up and make you feel like a million bucks! Right? 🥰. Thanks for taking a second to leave a comment!
You are my favourite!💕
Wow, thank you! I am so glad I get to be a part of your journey!
Great Vid! Thank you so much...
You’re so welcome! I’m glad you found it helpful!
Thanks for the advice, Shawna! Have a great Thanksgiving.
Happy Thanksgiving to you too!
Such sound, important and useful information! Thank you, Shawna!! Oh! Give Tucker two belly rubs from me!
@@CindySimpson-h8o You got it Cindy! Two belly rubs for Tucker it is! Thanks so much for watching and I’m so glad you enjoyed this one!
Looking forward to this one.
So far been a slow 4th 1/4 start for me.
Me too. I thought I was going to have a lot more sales rolling in...IDK what I'm doing wrong

Glad you are looking forward to this one! Keep going Justaman! I bet the sales will roll in Black Friday Weekend!
And you too @robynlatorre7044

Good information but also very vague.
Hey there! You can dig deeper into Market Research in this playlist here! ua-cam.com/play/PLOcqCXlRVZXpp4yVt9mvYZh52mvB2LHQ1.html&si=FUgUdiuonConxETc
Belly rubs for Tucker!!
LOL! You got it! Belly rubs are headed his way!
Apologies for butchering their YT names, but I also love SimplyMandyPOD, MoneywithMak, MegitRain, JoeRoberts (Shopify, but still POD), HannahEbeling to name a few more
I love all of these Stacy! I think MegitRain is the only one I might not know just yet! I will check them out!
Plese remember when you place your listing always remember to write in your "Titles and Tags". I forgot. What do I do now?
@@kathleenthompson3676 oh no! You can go back and update those listings Kathleen.
Thank u! Please there is no need for the music so loud... i am half deaf and it I cant understand what u said in this video. Thank u!!!
@@natitafr2739 Hey there! So sorry! We actually made this decision based on market research on UA-cam! lol! Hopefully you got through the
First 90 seconds… the music stops when I really get into it for you! Thanks for the feedback! I’ll def consider it when playing with the element of music next time.
@shawnalynn2083 yes!! I was with subtitles and after sending the message the music stopped! Iujuuu!!!!! Thank u a lot!!!!
Yes hard for me too I’m neurodivergent
I hear you in my sleep ....."list list list"
I think you scared Tucker at beginning of video - he was licking you to make sure you were OK. My dog does that too when I'm upset
Lol! Poor guy! I need to give my little Tucky a raise with all I put him through! Keep your eyes peeled! I got him a nutcracker outfit... and I can't wait to do a Tucker take with him in it!
@@shawnalynn2083 Yep, I've told you that before - he absolutely deserves a raise.
