Yesss! I love working with flowers and even took a flower designer course in the hopes that some day I will own my own flower shop, so this would be a fantastic way to get started!
Thank you so much for sharing Dylan ❤
You should open up your flower shop! What's the plan so far? :)
I love using silk flowers in my crafts, I never thought about selling them! What a great idea!

Thx Dylan! More vids like this 😊
So you find the stemless are bigger sellers?
Glad you enjoyed it! Just depends on which customer base you're selling to! Are you currently selling florals?
Yes! I’ve been looking for this video!
Glad you found it! You got your Etsy Shop up and running already?
I do not… 👀
Do you want to have one?
@@dylanjahraus maybe!
I love this type of video!
I am so glad you enjoyed it!
I decorate my home with silk flowers and took floral design classes I loved years ago but it never occurred to me to sell silk flowers on Etsy! I’m so impressed and inspired by your success. No, I don’t currently have an Etsy shop yet. 🥰
You can absolutely do it if you want to! That's great you already have an interest in the flowers, too. What is stopping you from starting a shop?
@@dylanjahraus Thank you for replying! Honestly, I tried creating a shop for POD and found the Etsy listing process very overwhelming for that purpose. But selling items like this might be right up my alley. I certainly have a passion for flowers! And I’m a full-time at-home writer so I can make the time to get started. I just need to figure out the supply chain and find quality products first, I assume. 😁
Wishing luck on your Etsy journey!! You can always reach out to me on IG, it's @DylanJahraus, if you got questions. :)
@@dylanjahraus thank you so much, Dylan! Best of luck to you too!
Hey...just checking in, were you able to open a shop yet? :)
Yes, I am interested in selling silk flowers on Etsy:) Thank you so much for this idea and content.
Glad you enjoyed it! You got a gameplan for your shop already? Hope this video helped!
I love working with flowers!
Great that you have an interest with flowers already! :)
Yes! As a botanical photographer I could get really creative with listing images
Totally! You definitely could! Let us know if you want to learn more about how to do this!
I would absolutely be interested in doing this in addition to my POD Business!
Awesome!! How's the POD business going for you?
I love your videos Dylan. Y9u have given me so many ideas. I dont have an etsy shop yet. And Im so glad I found you because I would have done all the things you say not to do. I realize i need to educate myself a little more, 😂
That's exactly a great game plan!! Thank you so much as well, when you're ready to open your Shop, I'll always be one call away. :)
I’d love to try this niche
What are you currently selling on Etsy?
Wow! You achieved it. I’ve been trying but so many things get in my way including myself! But I’m still trying. I’m trying to save up to be able to start a business and or pay someone to help me make it work. This is such a cute business you have too!
You can do it! When are you planning on launching your shop?
You can do it! If you need guidance, please reach out at any time. :)
You've got the Etsy Shop up already?
Yes I want to have this in my POD store
It could work depending on what's in your POD store! How has the POD store been doing so far?
Yes what a great idea.
Thank you! 😊We're you able to join The Ultimate Etsy Community we have just launched? It's also gonna be a great place for discussions like this one.

I sold bespoke silk wedding bouquets and head wreaths on Etsy for 5 years. I was always busy, but had a hard time scaling and making a profit because all my customers wanted unique items, so I couldn't order quantity and mass produce. Looking back, I probably should have approached it differently. I switched to wreath bows in 2014 and average 50k revenue annually, but now it is a saturated market, and my hands can't handle the volume any longer, so it isn't scalable for me. Definitely would be interested in selling silk flowers. I was a fresh and silk flower designer at a large florist shop for 10 years, and that is where my heart lies. Thank you for the inspiring video!
Thank you for sharing! What made you decide to start on Etsy? Did you have a specific goal in mind?
@@dylanjahraus @dylanjahraus I started my first Etsy shop in 2010 because my sister asked me to join her. I had been a professional florist and also a hobby crafter, so I thought I could use my creativity to get out of the 8-5 office job. I was able to quit my day job in 2018, moved to a home with a shop and warehouse and went full out. But we lost everything in a fire in 2019. I restarted afterwards, but at a much smaller scale and I am feeling like I need to pivot to a different product niche. Thank you for your inspirational videos!
I'm sorry to hear about what happened with your shop and I am happy that you find my videos to be very inspiring. I can see how dedicated you are to getting your store back up and turn things around again. What are your goals this time and are you wanting to go full time with your shop again?
@@dylanjahraus Thank you
Love that! We're excited to meet you and get to know you and your Etsy goals. :)
Yes ! I want to get started. How can I get More Informations about the course? I haven‘t a Shop yet

Hello, Yes I would be willing to sell silk flowers. I have used them in the past to make wreaths. Selling supplies is a great idea, there are so many to choose from. Thanks for all the videos they are really informative, I'm trying to get through them all.

My question is storage and inventory. How much dpace would you need to house all of these. Also, thank you for being so transparent about your shop.
I started in a 1 bedroom apartment with a dog, husband and baby! Around 750 sq ft total.
Yes. I would love to do this
Awesome! Let's do it! 🙌 Need any tips? :)
I love the drsgn process. J would love to be able to sell finished designs.
That's awesome! If you're looking to sell your finished designs, platforms like Etsy can be a great start. Check out my video for tips to help you get started.

Hey, I really love your content. I just wanted to ask you that is it a good idea to open an etsy shop and sell journals, planners, self lists, affirmation cards on personal development niche? What do you suggest?
That is a great question. I would be happy to direct you to that information. Please reach out to me on IG and we will chat! It’s @DylanJahraus you will just need to add GROWTH1 as a code in the message.
So funny. I was looking to purchase some flowers or a head piece for a summer weading in a vineyard in Portugal. I am Irish and have been dabling with starting an Etsy shop. Have already done some pod on amazon. Yes I would Luv to sell and or make these floral arrangements 💚☘️🌸
That's great! Over 60% of my students do POD. The florals are really high margins if you're interested in learning more about that idea.
Yes! Absolutely!
🙌🏻
I'm VERY new to Etsy. I wasn't aware you could sell non-handmade items. Is this within their guidelines? If so, this opens up a world of possibilities! Thank you so much for sharing!
Oh my goodness! I guess I was multitasking during the first part where you talk about the supply category. This is brilliant!
Yes!! Do you have a shop currently or are you just starting out?
Did you originally start by having your own inventory in your home? I don't really have space for that, but definitely brainstorming!
Yes everything was in my home! We used every space available!
I would! I would love to know some wholesale information.
That is so great to hear! Have you connected with me on IG yet?
I really want to start an esty shop, and therefore thought of focussing on home decor. I am definitely interested in selling silk flowers.
Awesome!! Home decor can be super lucrative! Why did you decide to start a shop?
I want an additional income for us to be able to afford a house and live comfortably.
I hear you there!
Yes, I will definitely be looking into selling silk flowers and MORE once I get my space organized. I do have an Etsy shop, Vintage Whimsy ReMix, but it’s been stagnant (on hold) for 4 about years now.
What were your listings before when you opened your shop?
@@dylanjahraus
Mostly vintage lamps, dish sets and vintage/antique furniture - much of it being “ReMixed” (refurbished) by myself.
@@dylanjahraus
I had a brick & mortar store and I had to close it due to poor sales. As a result, I also stepped away from the Etsy realm, too. Funny thing, most of my “good” sales actually came off of the Etsy platform!
That's great to hear! When are you looking to go back on Etsy? Or what is possibly stopping you from going back?
I would love to know more about selling flowers
Great! Feel free to reach out at team@dylanjahraus.com or on IG @DylanJahraus and we can chat more!
I have an Etsy shop. this is nothing I would have thought of but I am interested.
Awesome! What do you currently sell? Is it doing pretty well?
I have been doing projects/ gifts with silk florals. I need to get on a call with you!
Yes yes! Let's talk. I'd love to chat more about the potential with you. calendly.com/dylanjahraus/program-strategy-call
Hello! What a wonderful opportunity. Without having any experience or a current Etsy shop, what are the steps to start and join your class/coaching?
Wow, you sounded very determined to me!! I love that!!
Yes I would to add these flowers to my shop
I appreciate your interest. What's your Etsy Shop name? :)
@@dylanjahraus Nakias Novelties
Great! do you have any sales yet? :)
yes
I would LOVE LOVE LOVE this kind of business! How fun! I am obsessed with faux flowers....I 've bought and decked out my own yard the past few years with them because i can't keep anything alive.
Wonderful! Channeling that love into a business is also a great idea. :)
Have you thought about opening an Etsy Shop?
@@dylanjahraus I have two! One digital. One POD.
Wow! How's it going so far with your shops? Have your sales in your shop been steadily increasing this year?
I would love to work with silk flowers. I’m interested.
Woohoo that's great! Do you currently have a shop?

Thank you for sharing. What do you feel preventing you from making more sales consistently?
@@dylanjahraus So many things, lack of design knowledge, problems with selecting correct fonts, listings not optimized, Not understanding why some mockups sell better than others, not understanding how the female mind works. I'm sure there are many reasons that's why I signed up for your course yesterday.
We're happy to have you in the course! 🙂

Etsy's got its own vibe and audience, so it could be a fresh start for you. Are flowers your focus for now?
YES!!
Ok awesome!! Do you have a shop already or would this be new for you?
I have a different kind of shop … photography and POD. I’d like a successful one … lol
Ohh, how's the revenue currently?
@@dylanjahrausEtsy generated, it’s not worth mentioning. Basically $0. Through the years, Etsy has benefited me more as a platform to be found by others, like third party wholesalers and hotels looking for artwork for their lobbies, etc. I’ve been a pro landscape photographer for over a decade and love it, but have struggled to figure out how to make it lucrative. My work is ALL over the place … online, brick and mortar, but that is not a reflection of earnings, unfortunately.

Hello Dylan,I am interested,and I would be willing too ☺️🌸I currently have an Etsy shop selling mini mystery care package boxes
That's great! Is your current shop doing pretty well?
@@dylanjahraus Thank you so much !☺️🌻I only have 2 listings ,the 1st mystery box I’ve sold 242 of ,and the other 329 mystery boxes.It was going well ,but the last 30 days I’ve only sold 6 orders/boxes.😟I know it starts slowing down around some months ,but I was a little discouraged,also when the cart gets emptied I always feels likes it takes a little time to get cart holders then I start getting sells again,I don’t know if that makes sense ,like when you have over 20 people who have there item in your cart ,then the cart eventually gets emptied this is what I mean ,but on the bright side I’m still getting notifications for these 2 favorited listings the sells have just slowed down .
You're welcome! 😊 Sounds like you've had some incredible success with your mystery boxes. But do you have plans already on how you can boost your sales during slower periods?
@@dylanjahraus I thank God for finding your channel ,I use to sell thrifted items it was Okay ,but very very slow then I started selling the mini mystery boxes and I would sell some ,but it was slow as well then after I discovered you ,I implemented putting different sizes of mystery boxes for an option then my sells blew up which was crazy awesome I was able to help support my family ,and kids.☺️🌻I’m not sure 🤔 how to go about it ,…but I have been thinking about scheduling a call soon ,because I’m ready to take my shop to the next level ,and learn more ,I don’t have an Instagram,but I see that you have a website ,I have heard so much about your new course ,and I’m so inspired,and motivated already !
