Hi kate, I am a non US resident, I already opened my LLC and got the EIN. Do I need ITIN to get started on Etsy? Your help is really appreciated ❤
I'm sorry sis and not trying to be mean but you should of used a on-screen recorder to show us how to do this
I am thinking of selling on Etsy some gilt and metal bracelets that I designed myself. I have, so far, only made five or six bracelets. I wonder whether Etsy would accept them.
Csn I sell art ? Hand made
You have not explained the most important part, which is how to receive orders, how to package, how to respond, how to send the package to customer, how to receive fund, and how to troubleshoot in case of any problem.
Oh boy... now I don't know how to do that... 😓
Thx for making this comment bc all those things that she didn’t tall you about were why I clicked on this video
Haha i think those are much later issues tho, this video is trying not to overwhelm/discourage people from starting. She has other videos that cover those questions!
@@FUGGLEmose Thanks.. I guess that's good to know
Read the comments before watching the video. Pass.
Thank you so much in helping me know where to start and not feel so overwhelmed with trying to make and sell items. I’m a dislocated homemaker that has to find a new less physical type of income due to recent physical limitations. I’ve worked very hard all my life in back breaking work and since corporate settings aren’t want they use to be I became desperate to find some kind of work I could do at home for the most part. Learning to run a successful business and knowing the ins and outs you definitely provide all the information and tools to make it possible. I’ve listened to another Etsy video but it wasn’t much help and more discouraging and overwhelming. Loved that you broke it all down step by step and how to make it happen!!! Thanks again Kate!!!
Hi Eva! So sorry you’ve been through so much to find this new season in life! Happy to hear that we can encourage you and help your start your own business! Cheering you on friend! 💛
@@KateHayes thank you for your compassionate words. Yes I’ve been through a lot and it gets hard but through much experience I’ve learned there is much beauty and blessings behind it all. Like meeting sweet new people that bless you with wisdom that can help you along the way to succeed. Thanks again so very much Kate. May you overflow with many blessings!!

Thank you for this video!! I’ve been so nervous to set up a shop but this helped a ton🥰
You’ve got this!! Cheering you on! 🤩
I love the way you incorporated the commercial. Didn’t even realize it until few secs into it. Normally I would skip it but this I watched as it was snuck in but informative.
Oh that’s great! Thanks friend! 🤗
If you're scrolling through the comments trying to decide if this video is worth watching in its entirety, watch it. Incredibly useful video
So glad you found it helpful, friend!
Great information! Thank you so much!🤗
Thank you so much for such detailed and clear instructions. Very much appreciated ❤
You’re welcome welcome! Appreciate your support friend!
Thank you for the Etsy tips. I am super excited to add Etsy to my business.
So excited for you to start!! 🥳
That last bit of advice was just as important as the first. No filler in this vid!
Thank you friend! 👍🏻
Thanks this video was really helpful! I was pretty nervous about starting my Etsy shop, but this video really helped!
You’ve got this friend!! Cheering you on! 🤗
Great advice and instruction! Thank you!
Thank you!
Thanks for the tips I’ll be implementing some of these tips on my current Etsy shop
Awesome!! You’re so welcome!
“Success leaves clues..” Brilliant!
It’s so true! Thanks for watching friend!
Hi Kate 👋 thanks so much for all the tips, they’ve been so helpful to me!! I have designed a digital planner, haven’t listed that on Etsy yet, I’m a bit scared and want to make sure to do it right. Do you advise to make the planner fillable on PdfEscape in case there is people that don’t use GoodNotes or other programmes to be able to use the Planner? Thanks a million ❤
looking forward to see your digital planner. sounds right up my ally to purchase and use.
I really want to turn my hobby of collecting vintage items into a business, but I've been so scared to start! This video really helped break down the steps. Thank you for making this!
You’re welcome friend! Cheering you on!

This was very helpful. I am a abstract ,landscape artist. Very new to all over this.
That’s awesome! Happy to help!
If you have an item available in multiple colors, do you recommend making a listing per color or one main listing with the list of variations?
I feel like more listings might increase the odds of people seeing your product in the actual color they want...
Yes actually, listing by color is okay. Or what have you decided on doing?
Just watched the first bit of the video thank you that is what I’m feeling 0:15
Thank you once again for all of your wonderful videos! I am currently in the process of establishing a relationship with suppliers (two different print on demand companies) and am 9 days away from going live on my first ETSY shop. I am currently beyond overwhelmed, especially in tweaking my designs and photographs, receiving sample products, and shipping times. I have re-watched your videos numerous times and have to say this process would not have gone half as well for me if I hadn't. One larger question I have would be once I go onto ETSY and register, how long is the process for filling out all of my page information, product descriptions, and connections to POD's? I am allowing myself 3 to 4 days for everything on my shop to be uploaded (including all of my listings), is this to short of a time frame? Your are greatly appreciated :)
Hey Lori! Wow, SO exciting!! Sounds like you’re on a great path for launching your shop! I’d say it depends how many hours you’re planning on working on all of this for those 3-4 days. It can be quite a time consuming process so I’d definitely say set aside full days if you can! Maybe just run through the process for one or two listings to get an idea of how long it will take you? The good thing is that you can make “copies” of similar listings and just tweak to reflect the differences if you have listings with a lot of the same information. So excited for you!! 🤩👏
That is great to hear Lori , weldone
@@blossomaramide1023 Thank you 🙂
@@KateHayes Thank you 😀
Be prepared to spend an inordinate amount of time. Overall my 15 years experience is that I do much better at shows and wholesaling in person.
Hi thanks a lot for all the valuable advice😊I’m just curious, do you have to register for property rights like trademarks, copyright & protected designs on your work before listing?
You don’t have to- technically anything you create you automatically have intellectual property rights to. However, having official “proof” (registered trademark/copyright) serves you well in the case of a legal issue arising. Most sellers don’t actually register for this but you definitely can if you feel the need to.
Thank you. This was simple and very helpful. 😊
So glad, friend!
Awesome video. Thanks Kate!
No problem friend! Thanks for watching!
Am really lookin forward into starting my own brand and my shop so i think this a great start pretty much
Excited for you!! 👏🏻
This was very helpful, thank you!
Yay! Happy to help! 💛
Great video. Thank you so much. This was really helpful.

Happy to help! 👍🏻
Thank you so much for this ❤
You’re so welcome!! 🤗
Thank u for this video. Very informative.
Very welcome, friend. Glad you found it helpful!
Thank you for straight forward information - I am still unsure - I wanted my shop related to celebrations ie. Christmas - but include cups shirts and other all related / now for Christmas - I have also seen shops that have a second page fade in separating niche' - do you recommend ie t shirts / cups etc..
Hi, which pixel and mb values should I use in my photos, because it is being blurred when I upload it to the listing place :(
Thank you Im going yo go with the Tailor Brands to start my business ty
Great! Glad you found the content helpful!
Hi Kate, thanks for the video(s) , i have been doing the research for my products and I would like what are your thoughts regarding signing up for Creative Market membership , or just buy as needed? Thank you again!
Hey friend! I’d say it depends on how much you anticipate on using it/ purchasing things from them. The membership might make sense financially if you plan to be using it regularly.
Thank you for the video❤.. I really gained a lot of knowledge from uh...😊😊
Yay! So glad to hear that 😊
I have a question regarding the quantity of products being held in the shop, if you only have one particular item in stock and more then one person likes it and wishes to buy it, what would be the best way to respond?
Can you please make video on the two Etsy selling app? Which one do you use or recommend? There’s not much information on that anywhere. PLEASE HELP. 🚨
This was amazing. Thanks :)
Yay! No problem! 😊
Thank you! I'm tryna make an Etsy shop in hopes to raise enough to exchange.
Thank you for giving us simple steps to help us be successful getting started on Etsy! That was really helpful! 😊
You’re so very welcome!! Cheering you on! 👏🏻
I have difficulty understanding about the pricing with Etsy charges , shipping fees ? Is it better to use USPS or Etsy ?
Very cool! Cheers 🍻

Thank you! You brought up several things I hadn’t even considered before I start. 😊 very helpful
Yay! So glad this video could help you!
you are amazing and very helpful
Aw thank you friend, so happy to help!
I just started selling digital products on Etsy... YAY! I just received my first sale and did a test sale to make sure everything went smoothly. Quick question: How do I set up in my shop manager the automatic message that goes out to a customer asking for a review? The email that says.. Jennifer, you have a new item to review. I thought Etsy automatically did it but I never received one from them for my test order. Google search isn't helping. TIA!
Oh yeah
You have to set up an email marketing contact form for that
If you have this marketing automation step you can get more subscribers to your shop and you will be notified about the order being placed
When they contact you, you can send updates
Someone told me that and she does it well and is currently using it for my ETSY shop which is doing great, I send out the latest updates and provide reasonable content
Would you mind if I introduce you to her ?
Can someone from African do this can of business?
Hi Kate! We are starting a lazer engraving where we will engrave on wood, glass, metal & Acrylic for Weddings, Anniversary, Birthdays, any Partyings and also we will doing custom cakes topers. Would we go under handmade or under craft supplies???
I’d say handmade!!
Thanks for this. If I purchase a digital design with the license to manufacture & sell the actual product, would that fall under “handmade”?
Great advise! Thank you! I just started this week. I am doing Digital Downloads.
How is going so far?
@@MilicaStojsic no sales,
Update?
@@literallynothing9634 , well I have 5 sells, SmilingCatDesign, what is wrong?
I love how you introduce yourself as a wife and a mum ❤❤❤
😊💛
Do you have to wait until the bank is connected before the listings show in the shop?
Not at all. Are you just starting your store?
@@comfortakinwale9245 yes they made me wait until the bank info was connected. Now just trying to get traffic
Thank you for advises
You’re very welcome! 😊
Do you use TailorBrands? And what kind of prices can I expect to start?
Hello! I had an idea of selling clothing that I wax/waterproof myself, would a new carhartt jacket that I take and wax be considered a handmade item? Thanks!!
I want to sell spray paint art and have a love and decent skill for it. I'm just now navigating it.
Awesome! That sounds super cool!
Great video and so much knowledge. Is there a choice where I don't accept returns?
Thanks friend! Whether or not you accept returns is totally up to you. Just keep in mind that buyers will feel more confident making the purchase if they know they can return if they need to. With that said, I’d say it depends on the type of product- completely custom orders most times are not able to be returned, etc.
Hi Katie. I’m Deb from Dallas. I’m trying to get a photo that has a red triangle superimposed on the top left hand corner withtewordNEW for a ew product listing. Not one pro knows how to do this seemingly easy task I have a photo I want to use, but it’s too big to top down for the primary listing photo. I am at my wits end. Any axe
Great content!
Thanks friend!!
I started an etsy store not long ago, unfortunately, i have had some other things going on. I went to have a look and I had make 2 sales. I was so chuffed. Now for more product listings
That's great! Congratulations. Have you listed other products?
You mentioned adding listings in handmade or digital, but didn't describe what to do with vintage. I don't know what to do with the partner question. I have no partner and my items are all vintage and antique. I'm stuck on that step.
I am having trouble to get more visits on my store, have been paying $3 ads per day with etsy but not much luck. What do you think I should do?
What if I had a whole sale manufacturer create my product instead of me doing it? Can I get by under etsy's radar on this? Would it count as a hand made product if I just have someone else assemble it?
Have a question about looking what's popular when searching on Etsy. My product is like no other BUT it brings kids shirts and jewelry together so it xould technically be listed but mostly on the jewelry side. I don't want to get into detail about it. Let's just make up a product like a cute pin you can put on your shirt. The pin would be considered jewelry(in my case) but then it attaches to shirts. How do you research this type of thing? It's not kids clothing but connects to it. Do I make sense?
Hello . Can you help me with a question . If purchasing a business and Etsy is a part of it is there a way around not being able to change the Etsy owner of the store ?
Hello Kate. Excellent video! I have a dilemma where I started setting up my shop, named it, and followed all the step leading up to the business portion. This was back in Jan or Feb 2024. I stopped at that point because I didn't have a business checking account at that time. A couple of months later after I obtained a business checking account, I tried to go back in and complete the shop setup and it tells me the name I chose for my shop has already been taken! I reached out to the help people and told them it's been taken, but by ME because I never finished the process! They don't seem to understand what I'm telling them. Do you have any knowledge of this or what I can do?
How do you get shipping materials or shipping bags and postage for t shirts.
Wow this is really helpful! Thank you soo much 😊
Yay!! So glad to be a help!
How long do you have to ship a product with print on demand.
Ty ty!

Thanks and love your content!
Hi, so where do I go to get my license?
Say I was making soap, but I was melting down a pack of unscented soap I bought from Michaels, adding an essential oil like doterra to the soap or maybe a pigment too. I didn’t make the raw unscented soap, I didn’t make the essential oil. Is that still ok or am I thinking too hard
What about paying taxes? And can I sell something if I live in Asia?
Hello, what’s a simple program to use for bookkeeping as a business?

Hi, how do you sell on this site? Why these problems happen to me: does not accept any credit card in my possession why? Is this site broken or what?
You do not have any graphics or fonts like you say in the video below. Are you planning on putting it in your pinned by katiehayes?
Can I use my shopify name & domain. Use my website & same tax ID?
Hello lovely how do I set it up on the app ?
I was thinking about painting or embroidering on already manufactures items. Do you know if this would violate any terms through Etsy?
Hello Have you seen any one doing this on their etsy store?

Is Etsy better then Vinted?
I’m trying to get into selling my handbags and t-shirts on Etsy. I hope it works.
That’s awesome friend! Best of luck to you! 🫶🏻
If anyone can answer my question I would be super grateful. I am trying to set up an Etsy shop selling digital prints, but I’m confused on the sizing. I know that when someone makes a purchase, they will be sent a link to follow and download. How can I make multiple sizes and have it all included in the one link so they can download whatever size they need? ( I hope this makes sense).
You mentioned reselling🤔 I have a question. As someone interested in selling digital products, my intent was to purchase extended license for commercial use of already made graphic design and then edit with whatever it is I am going to type on it. That's something I wouldn't be able to sell on Etsy??
It really depends. I was referring to just buying and reselling physical manufactured goods that the Etsy seller has no hand in crafting or designing. If you create your own digital product with a design you come up with (altering templates, etc to be your own counts), that is totally fine!
Hi thanks for the video but i am not from US, but germany, do I need LLC?
excellent nice info
Glad you found it helpful!!
