I’m not one to comment on a video…in fact this is my first comment EVER. I wanted to say thank you! I started my Etsy store mid May and I can be living proof that your training works. I’ve watched most of your videos and implemented your tactics and as of this moment, I took one listing that started selling June 4th and just checking my dashboard, I’ve made $650 dollars today and $1,100 dollars yesterday. I’ve just hit 152 sales and my total income for the last 30 days was over $5,000 dollars!!! I’m not here to brag, I’m here to show that your training and tactics really work! Thank you so much for what you do and the fact that it’s completely free on UA-cam, really shows how good of a person you are!
Yay I’m so happy for you!!! Congrats on getting those sales up!! 🎉
This is what I needed to see to actually start! So inspiring to hear! I have the life hacker course I bought a few years ago and they’re how I found Cassiy and loveee her videos and just always think “but it won’t be like that for me” but I’m gonna start and really give it my all! 💕
Just curious as to how many listings you had when you started in mid May? Also, were your sales mainly from a couple of listing or spread out?
Link for your store?
I always enjoy your videos. They’re always informative and very well organized. Also, you’re so humble and easy to listen to and to understand. Thank you as always, Cassiy! I wish you more success ‘coz you deserve it!
Thanks for add value to this community Cassy! ❤
Thank you so much! I appreciate all your videos! I am new and taking it all in. Your content is so valuable to me. I am so excited about my new journey!
I appreciate you helping out people who need this type of information. This info really helps out a lot. Me being one of them.
So thank you.
This was super well timed advice for me. I plead guilty to all the usual vices - overthinking, over worrying, being a perfectionist. And I have been spending too much time just setting the bar too high during my set up / shop opening phase. Wanting everything to be "good enough", trying to learn too many things all at the same time. Great, solid advice well articulated. Thanks. BTW I purchased your INCOME/EXPENSE REPORT WITH PROFIT CALCULATOR a couple of days ago - great value and a no-brainer given the depth of the spreadsheets. Thanks again. I will now approach building out my shop, as you have outlined. THANK YOU!
Cassiy thank you so much I really needed to hear this ! Love your channel!!
Thank You Universe!! I needed to hear your 1st step!!!! Just Move..ive been overthinking for 5yrs!!!!!!❤ thank
U Cassiy
Hello Cassiy. Thank you for your FREE step -by step video ! I love it.
I started my etsy store about 3 weeks ago and this video was just what I needed! It was so encouraging.
Omg Cassiy I am so happy for you I remember you from back in the day when your when you were a new mom. So happy for your success
You have been so helpful to me! I've learned so much from watching your videos. Thanks for sharing!
Your videos are so helpful and inspiring! I have so many ideas and need to get started. I originally set everything up a few months ago, but Etsy immediately disabled my account for over a month! It was a huge setback, but I'm back in and now is the time! Thank you for sharing your valuable insight!
Cassiy, I LOVE the video editing with the text emphasizing on what you say. I'm a visual person and that really stood out for me. GREAT JOB on the video editing!!!! Also the content of your video is excellent as well, the video editing really showcase your points across in a grand presentation. Thank you for your teaching, I really learn a lot from you.
It's been mixed reviews so far today on the new editing so I appreciate your comment
You're videos are fantastic! Thank you for all the information you share.
Hi Cassiy, Thank you, thank you, thank you! Your videos have been my inspiration to start my POD business on Etsy, and have been just what I needed to get going. I am always over thinking and wanting everything to be perfect, but I followed your advice and went ahead and put up my first listing in early July, and I tried to get up a couple of listings each day, (I now have 27) and I'm super happy to say I got my first sale in just two weeks! Following your teaching is paying off and I can't thank you enough for sharing your knowledge.
Wow I am so proud of you for getting out of your comfort zone! And look how it paid off 🎉 you could have been researching this last two weeks but instead you took action! Just keep doing what you’re doing and learning a bit everyday and you are going to do great!
Thanks Cassidy for this video. It was just what I needed.
I have to say I feel like you were talking to me with this video. It somewhat seems like a lot for a newbie. I’m definitely feeling more motivated now. I’ve been a truck driver for the last 13 years ready to come off the road I appreciate you taking the time to make these videos
I absolutely loved this video - Thank you for sharing!!
You will be the reason I try Etsy today
Cassiy I love the way you taught, it's really courage poeople who like me does not have any experience, thank you.
Loved this video! The editing style was highly engaging and kept me watching. Really interesting content and super helpful too. Thanks!🙂
Really appreciate your comment, thanks for watching and I am so glad you enjoyed it!!
Hi Cassiy, great video! And I wanted to say THANK YOU and that your strategy WORKS!! I wanted to start an Etsy business, but had no idea where to start or what to do. When I found your videos last year, I decided that the POD model was the right one for me. Your videos gave me the confidence to try it & believe it would work. I started my store in December, and then I waited for my first sale ... and waited, and waited. I was beginning to lose hope! I looked at my meager traffic and noticed that one of my designs was getting more views than any of the others. So I made a couple of similar designs, and then it came -- that very first sale!!! (It was about 4 months after I opened my store, fyi.) Your advice of adding value really worked. Since then, I have a slow, but steady stream of orders, and I'm excited to watch my business grow. And I know with 100% certainty that this wouldn't have happened without all of your great advice! Thank you!
Wow this is such a fun comment to see! I am so humbled that I was able to inspire you to start this journey
@@CassiyJohnson12:58
Thank you for sharing your experience with us Jasmine! Helps newbies like me be more realistic and not give up.
Yay a new vid, Cassiy your such an inspiration
Just what I needed to hear right now! :) I am overthinking for a week now and would have done that even more if I didn't watch this video. I like your videos and you calm and encouraging voice and advices :) Good luck in your future work!
Great video Cassiy!
I really appreciate you. You really give us the blue print. I did the first step and opened my store because of you. I recently resigned from my career after having my 3rd and last bby and part of my personal goals I set on my journey to more , is to start my own business. So I’m trying! At least I can say to myself I did it. It’s been almost 2 weeks and I have 14 listings. No sales yet but I know it’s going to come. I come to you while working to make sure I’m doing it right. Please ignore the nasty comments and don’t stop helping those of us who really want it and love what you’re doing! You could’ve packaged this for tons of money like most ppl do but you didn’t and you literally don’t seem to hold back on all the info. I’m so thankful!
@@Desertfreak3313 and you say that to say what?! Clearly I just started. Clearly I’m building. Clearly I’m learning. Go somewhere else and don’t play with me.
Always good advice, especially the get started.
Thank you for the great tips Cassidy. I think Im finally about to jump into Etsy.
I’m getting ready to start a POD store using ETSY . Cassiy, your “how to” videos have been a great help. I am retired and looking for some extra income to supplement social security. You have given me confidence I can do this!
I am so glad I could help inspire you! Best of luck to you on this new journey ❤️ just be patient with yourself because there is lots to learn but stay consistent and you’ll get there!
Garry, I'm in kind of the same boat but I'm finding this all overwhelming.
I started this month & met my goal of 500 listings. It’s been exciting to get those first sales
Wow I love to hear that! Congrats on getting started and putting in the work right away. I'm sure these sales will just be the first of many!
You nailed it! I've been on Etsy for 8 years. This is the exact secret sauce to make sales on Etsy! ❤
Oh my goodness! When you got to the overthinking part it felt like you were speaking directly to me! Lol! I'm sure many others feel that way. I've watched tons of videos and today I was like "What's wrong, why haven't I pulled the trigger?" And then I get to your video and you answered it 😆 Thanks so much for the info!
Thank you cassiy
Thank You Cassie
🥰Thank you! Love your Videos and courses 🌟🙏
Excelente video! Thanks so much for the information. I’m getting started and you just nailed literally all those problems I currently have 😅
Yay I’m so glad to have trouble-shooted for you! Thanks for watching!!
@CassiyJohnson I started my store April 8th. I am just a few orders and 8 days away from Star Seller qualify. Thank you for all of your tips and advice.
Thank you for calling it a game, I needed to hear that haha
This is great!! I love the info just get started
Glad you liked it, thanks for watching!
I LOVE your vids!! Just move - I did and I love it!!
I love this!!!!!
I really needed your help....
Great advice! ❤
But I love watching your video's that are very inspiring. Thank you so much. Have a blessed day
Thank you for the video
Looks good, thank you!
Awesome, thanks for watching and commenting! Hope you got some good value and ideas
Hi - I haven’t commented on your videos in awhile…they’re appreciated and always so helpful..gabe in south Florida
I’m not moving the needle. Could be my designs! Saying that. I love Etsy and giving it my time. Let’s see. Thank you Cassie for your kindness and business attributes ❤
Thank you so much
Thank you for all the info, I started my Esty store watching your videos! I have 40 listings right now and still growing, hopefully I start getting sales soon! Still learning, but hope to turn this side hustle into good source of income soon.
Two weeks after, do you have any sales yet?
All this is so true if you doubt yurself then you ll go no where......it wont be easy at first ..forget 10,000 k in the first month has to be long term thinking Thanks cassie
Thank you for your awesome videos! I have been watching all of them, and following your steps, making sure to just START! I opened my shop on October 2, and made my first 2 sales today! woohoo! I'd love if you can do another video showing your niche/product research and maybe some new tips you currently use! I've noticed my issue has been trying to find the perfect product and not sure if I am passing over products because I overthink it!
Hey good to hear that. How many listing you had to get that 2 sales? What item you usually list? (I am Starting etsy pod store for two day )
This was a great video!! I’ve taken your free course and am on the first step of building 10 listings. Do you recommend keeping color options fairly simple at this stage? I feel like adding tons of colors per design is overwhelming 😬
I think there is something you said which was key in this video “try different niches, research but try different niches” I think this is key because some UA-camrs say pick a niche and stick with it
Wow, I needed this, I have been overthinking for months, and afraid to start. I know what I want to do, but it is a bundle item, and it really makes me nervous to do it. Also, I am not so sure there are mock-ups for some of the products I want to use. Anyway, I know I have/to get it done, Immediately! I know what I want to do would be great items for Christmas gifts, and they will be evergreen, not just for Christmas. Anyway, thanks so much. 😊
Love your videos!! so inspiring. However; i had a question. is it a good idea to focus on one product type at a time, such as shirts? so im able to master each product type. Again, stunning video!!
My favorite flavor is Strawberry 🍓
I’m Just gonna said thank you 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
You are so welcome!! Thank you for the kind comment and I really hope my videos help you so much
Cheers.
Loving binge watching & learning from you!
My questions are ~ I’m such a control freak & with the print on demand I don’t know if I’ve added the images to the correct place on the items. I did order a couple of tshirt samples. I want yo know how it’s packed ~ if I was doing it from home there would be cute thank you notes etc.
😬 Thank You!
Great video, thanks for sharing. My question for you is: could you walk us through Etsy SEO and how to title the listings the right way? I have been with Etsy for 10 years doing graphic design work for photographers, but now I am starting an apparel business and posting my first shirt listing. I still have pre-made listings online like business cards and templates, so just wondering if I should erase them all, and just have an apparel shop now or still keep them and have a mixture of digital products and physical products. Mary
This sounds like fantastic advice, thanks for sharing! Would you say the same advice applies to those wanting to do the production themselves instead of POD? I haven’t opened my shop yet because I’ve never made the product (sticker) and I’m waiting for supplies to get here. So by the end of the week I’ll have everything and should have figured out how to make the sticker, so then I’ll set my store up and add the listings. I’ve already designed dozens, just need to be able to fulfill it if a sale happened to come through… lol yeah right but gotta be prepared.
2:22 , I agree with you here. For me, it is since age of three, the failures I got since age 16 in whatever ventures, I tried to start / get in, now what digital product and how to make it and sell it. I don't know how to do marketing/ promotion.
Fab content thanks. Quick question and apologies if you've answered this in another video but are you marketing your etsy shop? Paying for ads ? Or are you relying on etsys traffic to bring customers to your store ? I'm considering taking the bug plunge very soon!🎉
Smart lady.
geeze louise i love your channel learned so much! do you have a video on how to find a profitlabe niche (from start to finish doing the calculations and everything)? thanks so much! also non q4 months ---- is it still very plausible to do like 6 or 7k PROFIT not revenue? thanks!
Absolutely correct the hardest part is the first step. I'm right there now. Have watched countless videos. I think the problem is information overload, and analysis paralysis. I can't decide what kinds of products I want to sell, (t-shirts, stickers, wall art, etc) - there are pros and cons. Then trend, niche, keyword research. It's just hard to know where to start. I also am on the fence because I travel a lot, and I want something to will require little to no customer service on my part. If I'm backpacking through the Andes, I can't call Printify (a lot faster than email) in a timely fashion to handle issues. The first time is always overwhelming, because none of it makes any sense yet.
This was the second of your videos I've watched and they were very helpful. Thank you. I'm curious what percentage of your profits Come from the etsy store products VS your online courses teaching people how to be successful with an etsy store?
Hi Cassiy, Wondering if the roadmap course is an over the shoulder style training, a lot are instructional text on screen. Thank you :)
I had 5 products when I started to sell in Etsy !
Etsy is one of the best sales sites on the internet, and big surprise ONE OF THE BEST STOCKS TO OWN !
Thank you as always for your guidance!! I procrastinated for a long time just creating designs as that actually calmed my anxiety. I have been watching your videos for months and had the store etc all setup. Finally, I posted my first shirt yesterday. Following your advice, I bought a few good mockups and now am over thinking if my design placement is perfect on the mockup or if it is a little lower or higher! 😢 This overthinking issue is really getting in the way. I realized i dont buy a shirt and go to the store to see if the design is exactly where they showed it on their mockups! I'm going to commit to listing 10 a week and wait till I feel comfortable.
Thank you again!
Yes great job recognizing that you are overthinking it. Just make sure the design is 2-3 inches below the collar and compare the the printify flat lay mock-up a few times in the beginning. Eventually you’ll get the hang of it and it will feel super easy ❤️ be patient with yourself, there is a lot to learn and it’s normal to feel overwhelmed. I think you have a great goal and am super excited for you!
@@CassiyJohnson Thank you Cassiy! Your videos have been my go to for every step. Thank you for the guidance.
Hello Cassiy, excellent video! I have been busy these past few days following all your videos step by step. I have created and set up all pertinent accounts and have designed my first round of designs on canva. I am getting ready to put together mock ups and create listings. I would like to know if I should be creating a mockup for each different 3001 color that I will be listing? I am only doing 6-7 different colors to start off while I get the hang of things. Additionally, should I be creating my original listing through Etsy or Printify, or does this not matter if I have the two connected? Thank you for all the valuable information you provide us so whole heartedly. Kind regards, Adriana :)
Hi Cassy! Your videos are a great help to anyone trying or planning to open a pod business. I am also interested but I don't know if its possible to start in Nepal?
Hello Cassington! Thanks for the video ... 😊😊
Your course is only for physical products via printify?... what about digital products?...
Thank you 😊
Hello, do you have a video about 'matching shirts' - the process of creating a listing from scratch on Etsy , also with personalization (with Printify)? Thank you
I have analysis paralysis right now. I know I need to just start!
I know it feels overwhelming when you look at it as a whole, but just tackle one piece at a time! There’s no rush! Just open your store, then just connect it to Printify, then make your first design.
It’s normal for new things to feel overwhelming and scary, so just know you aren’t alone and that you’ve got this!
I've been watching your older videos and enjoy all of the info! This most recent one is quite distracting with all the text, sound effects, special effects, etc. Just my opinion... keeping it simple is the best and I can get your message easier without the distractions. Thanks for the info and keep up the good work!
Cassiy, I have a question and I am not sure if you have said it in a previous Video. Should I have a couple shops if I want to make say, Tshirts, Mugs, stickers, tumblers etc? or keep 1 store and just have sections?? or keep apparel with apparel, drink containers together, etc etc??? Assistance greatly appreciated. I Love your videos, they have been a great help, best on youtube for sure.
LOL I feel so seen with the “overthinking” opener 😅 Duly noted
LOL hopefully that helps you know that you are not alone in that!!
5:00, any playlist on the topic. Your voice is sweet and understandable. I would like to know more.
Great as always, Cassyi. I am struggling with fees. Do I have two shops 1 to sell on etsy usa and another to sell in the UK. Not sure how to add the postage fees in to the retail price as it us different for these two market places. Can I ask if you can shed some light. I am brand new in this business but I really enjoy your videos. It's inspiring and it motivated me to start this pod business . Thanks again.
I think you've got some really good video editor 😄
I asked him to try some new stuff this time around and I really liked it but it may be a little busy! I hope you really enjoyed it
thanks! can I ask where do I find the answers for customers, something prewritten which you mentioned in your video?
After casually buying on Etsy for 3 years, I finally open a shop yesterday. :)
Congrats on getting started and coming over to the other side of Etsy 🎉
Hey Cassiy, great video, as usual! I opened my shop on April 25, but was suspended for almost 2 weeks, so didn't get up and running until around May 7. I got my first sale around week 5 or 6, and I just got my 3rd sale yesterday! It's super exciting! The advice in this video is great, I definitely didn't know what I was doing within my first 30 or so designs, I wasn't sizing the image down in Printify so it was always like 15" across, haha. Now, I've learned how to place things properly, I just kind of hope no one buys any of my first designs, they'll end up with a giant design on the shirt! I should probably go back and fix those, lol. Thanks for everything, Cass, as soon as I'm financially able to, I will be taking your course, I know it's got to be full of great stuff. You help so many more people than you even realize, all of the people that watch your videos and don't comment or never like the video, your reach has been outstanding. Thank you for all you do, I'm glad you're such a genuine person, too, it really shows.
Wow congratulations on your success so far!! You are off to a great start and I am so glad that you have been getting good value from my videos
I've been following your videos and have 25 sales so far. My biggest hang up is the time it takes to load enough designs. I have 2 kids so that doesn't help time management lol do you recommend any bulk uploaders for printify or have any hacks for faster listing set up? Thanks.
How long does it take on average from the day u open the store to the day of your first sale?
And how long did it take you to get to 5k a month in PROFIT??
Great channel! I just subscribed.
Thank you for another great video! I have had my shop for about a year now, with only 17 sales. I learned a couple new things in this video that I am going to try. I do have one question. In one of your previous videos, you talked about copying a listing and changing the main image. I've done that before, but since they changed the layout, I can't figure out how to rearrange the photos. Is there a way to do that, or do I have to just re-upload all of the photos? Thanks!
I'm so glad you got some new value! The new version works the same way, you should be able to click on one of the images and just slide it over top of the first one to change the order. If this doesn't work then you can always go up to the top right and go back to the old version of the listings still and use that!
I’m wondering if you do your course for someone in Toronto Canada? Also, do printify and canva work in Ontario Canada as I noticed mostly United States flags. Thank you for the time.
Diana
Can you give a link to your actual etsy pod store please? Not just the mockup store, but the actual etsy print on demand store you started with? Or has that store been closed? Thanks in advance for your reply.
This is all great, and useful information, however, a lot of people (including myself) have no idea what to sell to begin with. Most of the profitable ideas at this point are already super saturated and competition is tight. For me, I want to stand out and do/ sell what others aren't. And that's the tricky part that definitely requires research and time.
Just started my etsy shop 🎉 over 90 views so far
Im hopeful.
I want to create a POD shop using original artwork. Is the process with Printify the same? Or would you recommend another?
I'm 61 and I'm slow learner, but I've already opened my store, i am at level 1, trying to add listings. I'm learning printify, placeit and canva. I am not a designer but I will be selling soon!
Just wondering, did you make any sales by now?
Tune it down a bit with the cuts and big titles in the video. The most valuable information you give comes from the audio and these visual overloads are a bit too much to take in at the same time. Otherwise great video.
Hey thanks for the feedback! Hope you still got some good value even though you didn't like the editing.
@@CassiyJohnson Regardless of the editing, your channel is the best POD channel I've encountered so far. The amount of valuable information per video is so high I've started taking notes :)
Any recommendations about the SEO tools on what keyword to use on listing descriptions? I've tried Alura and Everbee, but it's just a scratch on the surface, need to subscribe for detailed insights. My store is up and running about a month now, with only random 60+ views on my random designs. Also a second one, how to link 2 design in 1 listing from Printify? Like how to combine a couple/family set of shirts. Since from Printify to Etsy listing, its only 1 design per listing
I love your You tube video I watched them over in over. However, I am hesitant to start a POD store using Etsy I am overwhelmed with so much stuff or where to start.
pity that in Brazil it is not yet released for sales of digital products, do you know if there is any deadline or possibilities?
My problem is
When you do the designs in printify & upload them I’m afraid they won’t be correct & then the customer will get a crap show …also I don’t understand
the JPG or PNG or whatever all this initials mean & how do I know where to put it on or not. I hope this makes sense your videos are GREAT !
Thanks So Much :-)
