Also blankets are one I had many issues with ensuring that you use software that will allow for big projects esp if it’s not a pattern and more complex and personalized not just a repetitive name or elements. I’m not a great PS designer so I’ve tried resizing in Photopea. I spoke with Printify and even PIC the Gift who states it’s best to get their templates bc they don’t always transfer with Printifys templates? And make sure to pull to then end bleed area and keep most important info inside the dotted print area. Which I assume most all of you already know that, but just in case one person doesn’t-I hope that helps!
Really GREAT video for us old newbies. I am really working hard to launch my store in one week (although I think it's going to take me a little longer...) and your videos are a GREAT HELP. Thank you very much Bailey, and I am definitely getting the guide!
I am learning so much and taking tons of notes. One question I do have is what are your recommended "most" important apps/websites to use to get the most productivity from, as it can start to add up in cost if you are not making sales in the beginning. It feels overwhelming because I want to sign up for everything! LOL
I understand this totally as I use lots of things, but in the beginning you really just need a keyword research tool, and a design tool. If you use something like Kittl or Midjourney if using AI then you'll be good to go! :)
I cant wait to see this unfold. My first store was a hybrid hiking/camping themed store. The only thing that sold were the stickers. So I ended up turning it into a sticker store. As hiking/backpacking is a big passion of mine. I would love to revisit this store idea.
For my current team, we use Basecamp to keep all my stuff somewhat organized between different businesses :) But for myself personally, as far as designs, I just always having a running Google Docs Sheet and Notepad on phone :) Nothing fancy. I do plan on doing a productivity and schedule type video soon though!
@@digitallypurposedbailey thank you for responding to me and letting us in a little on your process. I’d love that video when you get around to it. I procrastinate getting started with an Etsy shop simply because I get overwhelmed by all there is to do, learn, research, and also by my own plethora of ideas. I also have ADD so it’s extra critical for me to be organized and on top of things, and so I’m super interested to know the systems and processes that successful sellers go by.
I was looking for the follow up video that I believe you said you were going to make it your sometime with the new shop launched and open. Which video is that?
Hi! As of yet, I haven't made a new video as I was testing different products/niches off/on Etsy with lol, but I hope to have an update soon on what we decided to do!
Great video as always. I noticed the link to the guide is to 30 hobbies but the video shows the guide to 100+ audiences Is there another link to the 100+ audiences guide?
Thanks! :) I ending up having to divide them up after feedback of it being a little overwhelming:) The other part will be released this week for the 30 Occupations.
I am having trouble coming up with a target audience for a hybrid store or a store in general. I currently have a store but want out because it's all personalized. I now despise it. I looked into dog items but it's mostly t-shirts, mugs, collars and bowls. It's hard to get into that market when so much already exists. I also looked at the dog sitter notes, etc. printables. They're not selling at all according to everbee and Erank. I'm sure you've covered this before but could you go over choosing a target audience in more depth?
Hello Bailey, I found your video really enjoyable, and I'm quite intrigued by your guide featuring over 100 audiences for POD and digital products. However, I couldn't locate it in the description. I noticed you've only linked Volume 1, the guide for hobbies. Could you please let me know how I can access the guide I'm interested in? Thank you very much!
Thanks for watching! After feedback, people thought it was too much info and ended up being over 300 pages, lol....so I've cut it down into 2 volumes, one for occupations and one for hobbies.
I have a question. How do you stay organized? Say after you create the design in png, pdf and how do you keep it all organized on your computer (device) so if you need a file you can find it.
I just keep them in a separate folder of 'finished designs' for about a week. Since they are uploaded to Etsy and my own personal site, I have copies of them in two places if I ever need them again, so I don't keep them long-term on my PC:)
I cant wait to see this unfold. My first store was a hybrid hiking/camping themed store. The only thing that sold were the stickers. So I ended up turning it into a sticker store. As hiking/backpacking is a big passion of mine. I would love to revisit this store idea.
Do you have a preferred POD company? Also, do you know of any POD company that does embroidery on blankets and apparel? Thanks for all your information!
Hi Bailey I am a new Subscriber I started to watch you like last week and started to really follow you these last few days. I am wondering if you could do a short video of some sort. Letting us know how many Shops you have? I do not wish to know the names just how many you have all together. And how do you keep organized with all those shops?
In some of your videos it seems like you select a product first (the AI notebook, the cat tumbler, and the sage green wall art), and in this video you are choosing your audience first and then designing products around them. Since I'm a beginner, I'm not really sure which method to choose? It seems like choosing the audience first would probably be best for long term results whereas the other way may lead to quicker results but is more based on trends that come and go, does that seem right? Also, I'm looking into your course and was just wondering if you charge a fee for your private FB group? Thanks!
Some videos are just for design tutorials, not on how to choose an audience or build the overall brand for your store as it would be too much:) Choosing your audience first is always best. The private FB Group is part of the course:)
I just didn't want to use the old one I had since it's still tied to other accounts. I could have added another store, but want to keep things as organized as possible :)
Hello Bailey, Your videos are really inspiring and I am interested in purchasing your course. I am just a little hesitant because I am afraid I would get too overwhelmed by all the possibilities. I do not even know how to set up a store, so I am a complete beginner. But I really want to make this happen.☺
I have always not been a fan of the bundles as most are so very similar to each other and don't include text, etc. I'll only make a bundle if they are themed and have value :)
Bailey is it ok to offer both digital and physical products in one listing in your opinion? For example wall art….if I want to offer it on 3 sizes of physical products and then offer the buyer to just buy the digital version so that they can go have it printed. I’ve NEVER listed a digital product before -ever. Let alone both! I am new anyway feeling overwhelmed. I know most people say don’t have a store with both types of products, but I really don’t want one more than the other. I just want the customer to have a choice between maybe ready to be hung wall art or maybe a tumbler wrap or just buy the tumbler already made via Printify. I did see CUOnline make a video tutorial awhile back about the wraps and in the end she said why not just sale the tumbler with your design, but idk if she meant it as 2 separate listings or not. I have saw a few listings on wall art both were available, but idk how they did it? Variance section? Can you please let me know. I’m already nervous about “bundles” making sure I have all the dimensions correct! and if you have that video and I have overlooked it/can you send a link or let me know. If anyone else know how to do the above please send me a link to a good tutorial or if time let me know. I’m so overwhelmed and last thing I need is to take a lot of time I don’t have-mess it up and then customers get wrong links and then I won’t know how to fix it 😳 TIA and praying for everyone to have a great q4….as this is my first and with a steep learning curve I am already behind 😞
It usually is, but I plan on still doing my lead magnet as digital products to get them to sign up... so for the camping audience example, I'd use something they'd still likely use like a printable camping journal or another digital product I'd sell them in the store ...That way they'll still get something free for signing up and we can later promote our POD products to them
You're welcome! I still think it's possible, though you'd need to niche down within each of them, so like a particular style of wedding digital products.

Hi! I was looking to get your course, would you say that all your information is now on UA-cam or would you affirm that the course is a more step by step, detail by detail, leaves out no information guide? Thanks! With everyone and their mom making a course I just want make sure - I don’t have too many dollars to spread. Thank you!
@@LP-hu5soHi, I am in her course and her private FB group. She gives amazing info here but she goes into greater detail in her course. Everyone in the group is amazing. She also answers questions and gives updates constantly. I’ve learned so much. If you’re new to designing I recommend learning that first. I am very new to designing so it’s taking me way longe than everyone else. Her course is so inexpensive compared to others and she is amazing. I hope this helps
Hi Bailey ❤❤🤗🤗 Is there a specific idea behind listing 5 products a day - does it have something to do with the algorithm? And what you call launch after the two weeks, do you do anything in particular here? ❤❤
Hi! :) No, it's just what I can do at this point with running the other businesses :) Launching just means I publish all listings and start running ads:)
You'll just want to use the filter Star Seller after your search and then change 'star' to 'best' :) So your URL will look like this once changed: www.etsy.com/search?q=truck%20tumbler%20wrap&ref=search_bar&explicit=1&is_best_seller=true
Hey Bailey. Thanks for all the awesome info you've put on UA-cam. I've been on ETSY for a decade and have a shop with 1000 sales, all physical products I've made over the years. I'm wanting to stop with me making items personally and switch to this Hybrid model. I'm curious if I should start a new store or transition the store I already have. Just curios if you could maybe share pro and cons to doing this, or if this is an okay idea in the firstplace. Thanks!
Thanks so much for watching! I can understand, I have 4 kids and started all this when I was pregnant with the third:) I plan on releasing a productivity video in the future, but all I can say is that back when they were younger (they are still 13, 5, 3, and 2) is I worked whenever they were sleeping and tried to get them all on the same schedule :)
@@digitallypurposedbailey Wow!! Thank you for your tips. I love all your videos. Very straight to the point and easy to understand. It's very motivation that you can grow successful business with 4 kids.
Currently a company out of Russia has filed for a TM for *gratitude l planner", if TESS approves their TM if will hurt so many businesses. If this term affects your business please file. "letter of opposition" through the trademark office, it's $50 to file but the LOP tess receives will help them reject the TM. Nobody should own those words.

How do you keep yourself organized with all this? Like your ideas, progress, goals, schedule, to-do’s, etc? Evernote, Notion, something else?
I would love to know this too!!!

@@shadowdude90Good question.
Do you have a preferred POD company? Also, do you know of any POD company that does embroidery on blankets and apparel? Thanks for all your information!
My preferred is Printify for speed/cost...but Printful does great with embroidery which is who I used for that.
Hi Bailey I am a new Subscriber I started to watch you like last week and started to really follow you these last few days. I am wondering if you could do a short video of some sort. Letting us know how many Shops you have? I do not wish to know the names just how many you have all together. And how do you keep organized with all those shops?
I just have the two now, the tumbler shop and new POD shop. Previously, I had another tumbler shop, SVG and POD shop.

do you typically have more luck with the single tumbler designs or bundles?
I have always not been a fan of the bundles as most are so very similar to each other and don't include text, etc. I'll only make a bundle if they are themed and have value :)

Any suggestions for non-paid resources or low fee resources to start with for a beginner/newbie?
You can always do the majority of the research on Etsy alone for free, it just takes more time and manual calculation.
Do you have to have a separate business license for another shop?
They can be under the same or you can separate up if you'd like.

How do you set up new etsy shops with the Etsy ID verification requirements?
Etsy does allow you to have multiple shops - though if you do, you have to disclose your shops on both profiles.
