Thank you so much! I worked so hard on my listing and got so bummed and discouraged when it wouldnt upload. You have saved my life and mental stability 😂 thanks again! Im subscribing
Thanks Ashley!!! I thought of just upload the link but giving a pdf file first with appreciation post is much better and more friendly. Wish everyone a great day!!
Thank you so much! You saved me so much time trying to find a sweet spot between file size and print quality. Yours is the first video I've seen that explains how to solve the file size upload problem without sacrificing quality.
Thank you! I've watched a lot of tutorials on how to add a large file to Etsy and they are so confusing. I have avoided doing any thing that is bigger than the 20MB, now thanks to your simple and easy to understand video I will be doing a lot more.
Ma'am!!! You betta do it!!! There aren't enough words to express how much i APPRECIATE this video! I was literally over here like, "not when I'm at the final stretch." Thank you so much, I pray you are blessed for releasing your knowledge unselfishly!
You are too kind my friend! Thank you so much for the kind words. There is an update video coming up soon on how to complete the same thing but in Canva and Google docs
Thank you, Ashley! You're a lifesaver! 🥰🥰I opened my Etsy shop a few days ago and almost cried when I couldn't upload the original digital products I made in Canva. I quickly pivoted into turning my designs into eCards, but I have not sold a single item yet (as the market is saturated and I only made static eCards to get started). Therefore, I will be adding my first Budget Bliss Tracker for Beginners in the next few hours (love the idea for a thank you message too... such a nice touch).
I loved that tutorial! I struggle with tech stuff and was having huge issues getting my head around this problem of uploading files to Etsy that were way too big. Your video help tremendously and I have just successfully completed my first product upload. Thanks heaps!!!
I am SO happy to hear this! I have another coming soon with the same general info/concept but updated to include how to complete in Canva as well as Google Docs.
MAN! Are you the detailed step by step person I needed! I've watched so many vids that were the same process, and I still left confused. I am technologically challenged and this was getting frustrating to understand. Thanks again!
@@sellingdigital Also, when I list my digital art, do I have to list every size that is under every ratio? I notice star sellers list some of the sizes, but not all; if I don't have to list them all, how do you know which one to list?
I was in the process of figuring all this out for myself and then thought "to save time, lets see what others have already learned, then can improve if needed" Thank you for saving me lots of time and preventing some frustration. =D
This was SO DAMN HELPFUL! I've watched too many videos and you perfectly explained each step the way I needed to understand how this process works. Thank you SO MUCH!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! You are the first person to go step by step that I could understand how to finally get my planner on Etsy. I hope you are a teacher, as you would be amazing at it! Thanks again!!!
OMG ! Thank you so much for This tip! Im new as a seller on Etsy and ive been struggling all day with that problem 😮 you are a lifesaver ❤😊 by the way, ive also had à hard time finding a video on youtube for that fix, so i hope you get A LOT of views 😁
Thank you so much for your video!!! I had panicked for a second because my zip folder was over 20mb and couldn’t upload it but now I know how to fix it!
Thank you so much, I was just about to give up and then watched your tutorial and it was like a blessing.. you are a superstar. I have subscribed, liked and shared and hit the notification bell as we need more people like you on UA-cam, thanks again.
Hi, Thank you for this video it was excellent, clear and concise. I have been struggling to do this for a very long time and following these steps have completed two listings.
This is a great tutorial! I make custom alphabet sets and have currently been breaking the alphabet into five separate zip files because the file size being too big. Can’t wait to do this on my next listing! Thanks 😊
thank you so so much it worked !!! you saved me for being hours on the computer trying to figure out the size, now time to purchase more room in google thank you!!!!
You are a jewel, thank you so much because your video was just what I needed. I normally don’t leave comments, but you were a tremendous help so I had to ❤
OMG….I actually gave up trying! Then I figured I’d give it another shot almost a year later, and what you said, completely connected with me! I literally can’t thank you enough! I’m definitely subscribing, you’re my new bff!!! Well at least my new UA-cam bff! lol! Thank You!! Thank You!! Thank You!!
Thank you so much. You simplify that you're a great teacher and it was very informative. It's saved me so much time I hope you'll do more videos in the future
Like the person below me I have to add that this video you did here saved me from pulling all my hair out! Of course use google drive! Thank you so much and I too have subscribed. 😃
Thank you, this was so easy to follow & SUPER HELPFUL! I just started my Etsy shop and i'm excited to have found a way to include more file types as I wasn't sure how to upload almost ALL of the files I created except for SVG since they seem to be smaller than PNG / Etc.
Omg thank you thank you thank sooooo much for this video because I was having soooo much trouble trying to figure out how to upload my file on Etsy 😊 just got a new subscriber thank you 😊
So I actually kept rewatching and rewatching your video and pausing it then doing the steps until I finally got it. So what I did was I did 1 seperate document for each size I'm offering. So 1 8x11, 1 A4, and 1A5. Each one contains all 10 different pages of the Weight loss tracking and journal pages. The only thing I wasn't sure about was how to save that document to reuse for other listings, because I did it like yours and put my shop banner on it and worded it like yours. Oh, could I have even added 3 links on that 1 document ? 1 link for each size bundle or did I have to do it the way I did and make 3 seperate ones ? I cant believe after searching and watching soooo many videos, yours was the only one that made any sense to me that I could actually follow. If it can be done, would you consider doing a video on doing multiple links on 1 document to upload to etsy, just so I can be sure. I will definitely be watching any and all your videos going forward. Thank you so much. Now I just need a family member to purchase the listing and download the files to make sure it works🤣🤣🤣🤣❤❤❤
Thank you for explaining that so well. I must say yours was the best explanation I could find on UA-cam. You were very clear and thorough. Much appreciated.
I already thought about a solution like this. The bad side is that anyone with the pdf is able to download the files. We hope that no one is going to publish your pdfs but I guess it's something that all the restricted access content creators have to deal with.
Absolutely. Any time you are selling digital products there will always be the opportunity for file sharing. I put in my policies that this is not allowed and hope that people are honest.
I'm so grateful I found your channel!! Subscribed and can't wait to see more. One question when creating the link to share do you mark it as: viewer, commentor, or editor. I am assuming viewer. Does that allow people to download?
BY FAR the clearest presentation out there. BUT, being an old-timer I'm still not able to get this going. I have my Etsy Banner from Canva but I can't figure out how to transfer it to Google docs to get the process started. Whenever I try to open and load the file is unacceptable. I'm spending hours at this. Oh to be less than half my age....
Never too old to learn something new my friend! I am happy to help! Make sure when you save the Etsy banner that you save it as a JPG or PNG. That should work. If not, please shoot me an email so I can help! lastfrontierdesignco@yahoo.com
first useful video about etsy. Thank you very much! it`s so difficult to find useful information step by step. So many videos smth like "i`m making millions on etsy, you can do it too"
You're very welcome! Yeah I won’t be that person, just want to share what I know and how it helps others on their passive income or online income path.
@LFDCuniversity Hi again. I just tried this and sent link to MIL to test but she gets message saying "couldn't preview...problem with network." Is this normal? She can download it but I thought that zip extractor was needed via this method. Any help would be greatly appreciated xx
This happens. I am not sure if it happens all of the time but it has never affected the download process. As long as she can download you should be good to go. And depending on the device she is using, she can double click then click extract files or right click and unzip etc. Hope this helps!
@LFDCuniversity Thanks for replying. Yes she was able to download but it took a while. It's good to know that this happens sometimes and it's not just me being rubbish haha
Thank you very much for your video and the explanation of the use of drive, could you make a video that explains how to save the folders in drive so that they are well organized? Again, thank you very much
Awesome work, loved the Video well presented. This has helped me so much that now i am going through all my Etsy uploads and do it this way much easier and simple enought for the customer. Thanks again. x
1. How can I prevent my images from being sold to others by buyers on Etsy. 2. Is Etsy closing stores that take my pictures and sell them to others? 3. If I complain to etsy about people who buy my images and sell them in their own stores, will I get results? 4. Is there a system on Etsy where I can prove that I put an image in my first store
All excellent questions! I am not employed with Etsy so I don’t want to spread false information. However, I have been a designer who sells on the platform and other platforms for quite some time. Here are my personal opinions: 1. There is no real way to prevent this. Just like people will steal from Walmart or Target no matter what they do to discourage it. It is unfair but apart of business. What I would do is stay proactive. Make sure you have it written in the policies of your shop what is allowed and not allowed. And put time aside each month to look for your designs in other places and contact them if it’s being sold unethically without your consent. 2. Etsy certainly isn’t afraid to shut down a shop. It is in your best interest to keep raw files of your designs in case you ever do need to prove you were the first. 3. Etsy has awful customer service. They take forever to get back to you. And usually it’s a pain to deal with. I would reach out to the store itself. I have done this and “killed with kindness” by saying something like: “Hello! I noticed that you are selling my personal design that I created. While I’m flattered that you love it as much as I do, it’s not legal for you to do so. I know the term “commercial license” can be tricky to understand but in this case you are not able to purchase my design and resell them as is. You may use them as an element in design in which you add on to and then sell. Or you can absolutely create a physical product to sell. I wanted to reach out to you before reporting to Etsy so give you time to respond and remove the listing. Thank you for your quick response to the issue.” 4. I believe all you can do is reach out the store owner like the example I gave above. The BEST option is working it out between two professionals both working towards the same goal. If this doesn’t work you can report it and place a proof of your raw file with the date stamp and cross your fingers.
I love the video. It is so helpful. I am so happy to discover this channel. I am planning to design digital planners. Yet, file size is toooo big. It is almost 160MB. Could you please suggest some tools for compression? Thank you so much☺
@@sellingdigital Hi, thank you soo much answering my question ☺️ Yes, I've tried and didn't work 😓 I don't understand why it is that much big and what to do. If you have other suggestions, I would like to learn and try 🙏🏻
Thank you, this was very helpful! I have a couple of questions 1) Do the buyers need to have a registered google account to access the files? 2) As the file is now open to anyone with the link, how do we prevent them from sharing access?
With digital products there is always risk of file sharing. I always advise putting clear policies in your shop but there is no way to know for sure when you are selling a digital item online no matter how it is packaged up.
Thanks for your tutorial! it is crystal clear ... 😎💯👍 Just a question: The client that is supposed to download the link straight from my google drive, has access to all my files inside there, or can see only the specific file?...
Thank you! Just what I needed. Still just learning. Question if I have them in a zip file and now on google drive can I delete the files from my downloads?
I recommend always having a back up somewhere. I save everything on an external hard drive so that I always have it but it doesn't take up space on my computers hard drive.
Ashley, I'm grateful for you video. Thank you. Question though: I have a pdf file that must be printed double-sided. The zipped files come in page by page. Is there any way to attach a zipped file that the customer can print as one file double-sided?
I have been thinking and thinking on this and I believe the only way to accomplish this would be to include an info sheet with your download that explains that it needs to be printed double sided. Then I would provide instructions on how they can do that. This would be different depending on the printer but perhaps you could include some basic instructions.
Thank you so much for all the help! Such a great job instructing and showing the steps. Question, if I can... When I zipped my file and attempted to upload it into my google drive, I couldn't see my design with I attempted to upload the zipped file from google drive, but I could if I didn't zip the file. What does 'zipping' the file do for the customer experience/ecard process? Will it still work if the file isn't zipped? thank you for all that you do!
Hello! Zipping the file is like putting it in one of those zipped up five star binders. They won’t see a design or image but once they unzip it everything will be able to be seen. Very important to name files well so the customer can pick it out easy in their downloads.
You are the only person I have seen actually explain and solve this! Thank You!
You are most welcome! So happy to help!
You say u have 5 tumbler's????? Ummmm what is that?

I know the term “commercial license” can be tricky to understand but in this case you are not able to purchase my design and resell them as is. You may use them as an element in design in which you add on to and then sell. Or you can absolutely create a physical product to sell. I wanted to reach out to you before reporting to Etsy so give you time to respond and remove the listing. Thank you for your quick response to the issue.”
4. I believe all you can do is reach out the store owner like the example I gave above. The BEST option is working it out between two professionals both working towards the same goal. If this doesn’t work you can report it and place a proof of your raw file with the date stamp and cross your fingers.

I love the video. It is so helpful. I am so happy to discover this channel. I am planning to design digital planners. Yet, file size is toooo big. It is almost 160MB. Could you please suggest some tools for compression? Thank you so much☺
Have you tried to compress to a zip file yet? Try that first and see how that helps.
@@sellingdigital Hi, thank you soo much answering my question ☺️ Yes, I've tried and didn't work 😓 I don't understand why it is that much big and what to do. If you have other suggestions, I would like to learn and try 🙏🏻
Thank you, this was very helpful! I have a couple of questions 1) Do the buyers need to have a registered google account to access the files? 2) As the file is now open to anyone with the link, how do we prevent them from sharing access?
With digital products there is always risk of file sharing. I always advise putting clear policies in your shop but there is no way to know for sure when you are selling a digital item online no matter how it is packaged up.
Girl...this was amazing ty.
You are so welcome! Thank you for watching!
Man you just made my life easy. Thank you for your video :)
Awesome! Love hearing that!
Thanks for your tutorial! it is crystal clear ... 😎💯👍
Just a question: The client that is supposed to download the link straight from my google drive, has access to all my files inside there, or can see only the specific file?...
Just that specific file! :)
@@sellingdigital Thank you, dear 😎👍👍
Thank you
Thank you! Just what I needed. Still just learning. Question if I have them in a zip file and now on google drive can I delete the files from my downloads?
I recommend always having a back up somewhere. I save everything on an external hard drive so that I always have it but it doesn't take up space on my computers hard drive.
Ashley, I'm grateful for you video. Thank you. Question though: I have a pdf file that must be printed double-sided. The zipped files come in page by page. Is there any way to attach a zipped file that the customer can print as one file double-sided?
I have been thinking and thinking on this and I believe the only way to accomplish this would be to include an info sheet with your download that explains that it needs to be printed double sided. Then I would provide instructions on how they can do that. This would be different depending on the printer but perhaps you could include some basic instructions.
thanks. really helpfull for beginner like me.
Glad it was helpful!
This was very helpful, thank you

Thank you so much for all the help! Such a great job instructing and showing the steps. Question, if I can... When I zipped my file and attempted to upload it into my google drive, I couldn't see my design with I attempted to upload the zipped file from google drive, but I could if I didn't zip the file. What does 'zipping' the file do for the customer experience/ecard process? Will it still work if the file isn't zipped? thank you for all that you do!
Hello! Zipping the file is like putting it in one of those zipped up five star binders. They won’t see a design or image but once they unzip it everything will be able to be seen. Very important to name files well so the customer can pick it out easy in their downloads.
