Thank you for your videos! I had an Etsy shop in vacation mode since August 2023 and opened it with listings September 2024. I just received my first Bestseller badge on an ornament. Thank you for your content, you have helped give me the courage to finally open my store! I now am sitting at 105 sales, with 81 of those orders from the past 7 days. Thank you thank you thank you 🙏
Thank you Shawna. I finally had a design on a tshirt take off and I doubled down on it. Then I put it on another product and that took off. It was a lower profit item so I made my first group listing with hopes of multiple purchases. First sale was for 3 items! So excited. Thanks for all your tips and encouragement!
Thank you, Shawna, as always! I am getting closer (literally by the day) to my first 100 sales, and I've decided that next year is the year that I go mainstream with designs like the ones you're describing, as well as doubling down. I've been too "artsy" I think, trying to get people to like/want the stuff I like, and though it works on occasion, I know I'm leaving a lot on the table. So, it's time for a change. And as for doubling down, I'm finally taking that more seriously, too. In fact, I've sold one ornament 11 times, and I just made a mug version of that design at noon. 6 hours later, I've got my first favorite for that mug! This is a design I almost didn't even list cuz I though it was kinda cheesy, but it's the most popular thing I've ever made. So, I am LISTENING to what people actually want. Great reminders and examples. Sending you a huge virtual hug!
lol tucker is a rock star! Thank you for your valuable video.🐶💌 The trend I have noticed is Bows, big bows and illustrations on them. What do you think?
I support black history month, but as a white women, I feel it is inappropriate to profit off designs from black culture. I don’t think this video was at all intended to be controversial but it’s just something that we should be mindful of…
Trends I am spotting, that could do well for valentines - doodled drawings, coquette bows, scalloped borders. Did I hit the trend you were referencing?
This is my favorite comment! So fun to read your trend guesses! Those are ALL great! The one spotted is related to coquette! But kind of the next level of it! Stay tuned and I will release a video in next week and I will mention this trend!
I have always felt that since I'm a white woman, it would be wrong to sale black history things and things targeted toward darker skin tones. I'm I weird feeling this way, like it's not my place?
You're not at all weird for feeling this way. It's the reason why I never listed any BHM shirts before. If feel like if you're making shirts at all for a specific cause or minority group, it would at least make sense to donate to the proceeds, not keep all the income for profit. I'm saying this as a white person. I also think that black people would WANT to support black businesses, especially for this event.
Hey there Robert! I will go check the link right now! And sending it to you here. Thank you so much for watching! stan.store/simplyshawna/p/general-niche-resource-and-calendar
Shawna, quick question for you. If we do double down on a listing that has traction with similar SEO and mockup images but it doesn’t even get close to the same traction as the first listing, what do you suggest to do?! Clearly SEO has worked before but why not now?! Any suggestions?
Shawna! Love your videos! I have a question for you, Is it okay to have two POD shops? I’m thinking of opening a second POD shop to test out starting from scratch with newly learned techniques. What would be the best time of year to open a shop?
Great video Shawna! Can I ask how do you go about determining whether to put a design on a shirt or sweatshirt? For instance with the bridal/bachelorette niche. I struggle with this being a newer shop with not many sales yet. I would love to have the design on both in my shop but I don't want to spend too much time doing that until I see the design has sales..
Hey there! Thanks for enjoying this one! Love that you are aware of this! I always start with shirts and then add it to a sweatshirt if it starts to get some traction. I do most of my research in shirts and I feel like I am faster at listing them too. So that is why I do it that way. I hope this helps!
This featured shop it looks like they have more of a 3D type of printing? Isn’t it why they do so well? It’s not original what they sell in my opinion just wondering if the style of printing isn’t giving them the edge? Worth trying it though definitely! I am new to apparel I still don’t realise how much demand is in this! lol I keep thinking small.
Hey there Kat! Oh gosh! I had so many examples to choose from and for the sake of time went with that! After I started to put the video together I wished I had chosen another shop! LOL I was afraid people might think success had to be puffy print! Sure! I think that has really helped them stand out! BUT there are so many shops doing super well with regular DTG printing like we use with POD! It is soooooo scalable! Hope this helps Kat!
@ yes it does I just wonder if I stand I chance I keep trying but always quit thinking it’s not original enough 🙈. Love your channel I appreciate your response ❤️
Hey there! Thanks! That is the solar eclipse. The Lunar Eclipse is the March 13-14 and is a full eclipse. I hope I said Lunar in the video and didn't accidentally say solar! Thank you for noting this!

Is there a promo code for the general niche calendar? 🤍🤍🤍 Thank you for all of your amazing Knowledge and for sharing it here on UA-cam!
Hi there! Thanks so much for the sweet message! Sending you a link to the calendar! I hope you find so much value with it!

As usual, lots of value in this video! I am watching it on "loop" and designing and listing as I go! Simply the BEST!!
So much value in this video!! Thank you a million times over! I hope you have a blessed week!
Shawna!! Thank you so much for this video!! So much great information! And Tucker is just the best 😂♥️♥️ xx
Thank you Sonz!!! ♥♥ I'm getting pumped about designing for next year!
Me too Shawna!! I have my listing plan at the ready 😂
I love your hair and your energy 😍 🎉
Thanks so much!
Ohhh I’m excited for the special session 😊
lol tucker is a rock star! Thank you for your valuable video.🐶💌 The trend I have noticed is Bows, big bows and illustrations on them. What do you think?
Hey there! Good eye! That is the coquette trend and the one I will reveal soon is related! Keep your eyes peeled for that video soon!
OMG the value and inspiration in this vid! BTW - I love the black model mockups so cool, so sexy, so amazing.
Black model mockups? You sound ridiculous

Fantástico, me encantó!
Shawna...would you PLEASE consider bundling your calendars together...say, in a special Christmas / New Year Sale?! 😊 Just a thought.
Gotta love Tucker!❤
Thanks Sandy! He is such a cutie patootie! He gets to be in next weeks intro! It starts in the pet store! LOL
En español ! Fabuloso! Gracias.
Thank you for watcing!
I have your general niche calendar but I have never received an email when it gets updated. What do I need to do?
I have always felt that since I'm a white woman, it would be wrong to sale black history things and things targeted toward darker skin tones. I'm I weird feeling this way, like it's not my place?
That’s like saying only Irish people can make saint patricks day shirts
@LeavingGrace I get that. I am Irish lol. I'm just so overly cautious about it but I guess you are right. Thanks for that.
I also struggle with cultural appropriation.

@@ElizabethEtsy I don't think this is a fair comparison, tbh.
Is it the brushstroke trend combined with coquette?
Ashley! You guessed it! LOL
Yes!!! I started adding this to some niches @@shawnalynn2083
How do we get a link to the niche calendar
Really do not see the calendar download anywhere!

Also Juneteenth which is literally about the celebrating the freedom of All slaves. 😂😂😂

Are the videos in your membership available in Spanish?
Anybody have problem to login on Etsy shop manager?
My phone Etsy app working but I can’t login on my computer.
Please help
If I wanted to just sell the digital designs would your membership be as useful

q4 sucked so bad lol..literally minus 5k revenue compared to last november. december might be same as last year tho.
How many niches do you have in your shop?
@@mirandadoolittle8079 Hey there! I have about five I add to regularly and maybe another handful of ones I dabble in here and there. Hope this helps!
Hey Shawna, are you married or do you have kids?❤I really like your content and would like to know more about you.😊
Just want to note that the next eclipse is a partial one and it is March 29, 2025.
Hey there! Thanks! That is the solar eclipse. The Lunar Eclipse is the March 13-14 and is a full eclipse. I hope I said Lunar in the video and didn't accidentally say solar! Thank you for noting this!
Another great video, thank you Shawna 👏🏽🫶🏽
