Super helpful. Thank you! When selling digital downloads, do you ever hear from customers who have problems with download or printing? I worry about starting a shop because I might not have the skills to help those customers. How has it been for you? Thanks again for the excellent video!
I’m glad it helped! I get the occasional question on how to download. When that happens I will normally send them a copy of the file through Etsy messenger or email and copy and paste the instructions on how to access their digital downloads from Etsys website. That way they know how to access it in the future. One thing that people sometimes get caught on is you can’t access digital downloads on the Etsy app. You have to use a computer. Printing problems are a lot rarer. Most people will know how to use their printer if they are buying a printable. If you create your file correctly you should be fine. I normally make A4 and letter size printables so they have both options. If anyone did ask I would turn to google for an answer. I hope that helps!
Great video! Etsy seems like a really interesting website to start an online business. When it comes to Amazon KDP, a lined notebook is considered the starting point, the easiest thing to create and sell at the very beginning. Is there an equivalent to that on Etsy? What would you say is the easiest digital product to start selling on Etsy?
A common starting point on Etsy might be a planner or perhaps wall art. But there are so many different things you could make. If you search something like printable on Etsy you can see some of the things that people make.
Some people even sell KDP interiors or book cover templates. I tried selling KDP interiors and it didn’t work that well for me, but some people have had good results
You could sell your book as a printable or maybe a pdf book. I haven’t seen it done before and I don’t know what the demand on that would be. You could try selling your book illustrations as wall art.
Tash, I am in the process of creating my Etsy shop, chose a name and now I have to add a product. At this point I realized I could have used 40 free listings from you. Will Etsy still let me use them? Now what? Thank you!
I don’t think they do. You can try using the link but it didn’t work for me. Your alternatives are to ask Etsy to delete your shop. You have to wait for that to be done and then use the link or you can use a different email address to open a shop. I’m not sure what will happen to your shop name which may be an issue if your attached to it. If you are attached to your name I guess it’s unfortunate but there’s no way I know how to fix it. The only other thing you could do is try reaching out to Etsy.
@@onlinewithtash That was the fastest reply I've ever received on a YT channel. YOU ROCK and I'm totally subscribed now! Thank you. Okay, I'm very attached to the name of my channel as it is my brand and has been for 12 years. And honestly, I'm attached to the email address so I'll just bite the bullet and pay the 20 cents per listening. However I think I'll reach out to Etsy because, with your link because... why not? The worst that can happen is they will say no. Thank you again Tash! Liz
Hi great video, I'm just starting KDP and I'm totally green. My question is, can adult coloring books, coloring pages containing curses and nudity be advertised or not?
I did a quick google and found this online. “Ads must not contain nudity, overt sexuality, clearly prurient content, or sensitive words and titles.” I found that here advertising.amazon.com/resources/ad-policy/book-ads if you want to read up more about it. I hope that helps.
I know there are a few different courses out there but I haven’t tried any so can’t recommend anything sorry. If you are starting I would focus on learning about creating good products, good images of your products and keywords/tags. And just remember it can take time to grow your Etsy shop.
There are SO many different digital download shop niches you can make. You can sell printables (huge niche with so many smaller niches, planners, cards, decorations and party supplies, wall art, journals… just to name a few), spreadsheets, svgs, presets, digital art or fonts. I’m sure there are more but these are the ones I can think of right now. When you are considering opening a shop I recommend considering what you are interested in (you can change it down the road but you want it to be something you will enjoy spending your time on), what people are wanting and competition. I Hope that helps!

Hi! You are so kind ❤
One question: Can i publish my illustrated ebook for kids 32 pages on etsy? Also like print on demand?
You could sell your book as a printable or maybe a pdf book. I haven’t seen it done before and I don’t know what the demand on that would be. You could try selling your book illustrations as wall art.
Dear it can be to upload coloring book 50 or 70 pages as pdf in Etsy to be as digital ?? Or this not allowed??
