WHY SUBSCRIBE TO WHOLESALE TED?

Hey there I am Sarah (aka Ted). My goal is to help new entrepreneurs grow & scale a business that is right for THEM!

Yes - the business that is right for THEM. Because I believe that time is the most valuable thing we have, and that we should spend it doing things that we love: and what I love may be different to what you love. Which is why on this channel I share:

* Latest news & updates from within the Print On Demand & ecommerce industry.
* Examples & case studies of businesses that I enjoy (such as Print On Demand ecommerce businesses) and sharing my tips & strategies I've learned along the way.
* Examples & case studies of other businesses that entrepreneurs love running (even if I personally wouldn't find it fun myself!)
* Plus a sprinkle of entrepreneurial motivation thrown in too!

I hope my actionable content can help you: whether you're running your own online business, or are in the process of building one, and want some tactical advice to help you along the way. If that is you, subscribe today!

    ⚠ WARNING! I do NOT censor people or delete comments, even if you disagree with me, or post something not-nice about me. HOWEVER, YouTube DOES censor them. If you want to post a negative comment, the following things will get it removed & potentially get you auto-blocked from my channel by the algorithm: 1) If you leave a comment that is insulting to someone or would be considered "mean" 2) If you "reply bomb" (e.g. reply to lots of other comments really fast) 3) If you make a not-so-nice comment about how I look. I would like as much discussion, both good or bad, to be able to happen. So please keep these things in mind before leaving a "negative" comment. Thank you 🙏
  • @MeyTribe
    I'm surprised you didn't mention the Etsy bug that has been in existance for about 4 years now, that automatically suspends new shops for "copyright infringement" when they upload their first product, one that isn't infringing. Etsy laters denies anythign was done, and most people get access to their shops back after 90 hours or so.
  • @themuse11
    omg I feel like a movie star. I've hit the big time. in your scroll of cat t-shirts @4:53 you showed my listing 🤣
  • @davidpaxton6402
    Great tips Sarah, I wouldn't have thought of upfront. Even if you use your own website instead of Etsy/Amazon etc, these tips ensure a good customer experience, which is then totally your own responsibility, rather than a 3rd party website.
  • I'm a mom of 7, trying to make money from working online. I appreciate your videos and your tips. You seem so sincere and sweet, and I really enjoy listening to you. I'll bet your momma is proud of you! Good job, sweetheart! Keep on shining!
  • @cfaithp
    I love that you talked about supply chain! So many startups have long lead times because they don't anticipate supply chain issues.
  • @m2mdohkun
    I love this! This is really an important information. My next action is to change from that provider to another provider. Yes, I do agree with prioritize customer experience and satisfaction because I have buying shirt and sweatshirt myself. I remember that regret and your video reminds me not to make our own future or current customer from bad experience so the most logical thing to do is go for quality. Thank you for this. I was starting to populate my Etsy store and this is eye opening for me. Thank you again. 👍👍👍
  • @byronlaw6724
    Saved. Great information. As someone who is just creating their PoD enterprise, this will help ensure that I get started on the right foot with a foundation off which I can build and minimize setbacks.
  • 😂😂 thanks so much, I got so frustrated when Etsy closed my account for no reason and even told me that they won’t reintegrate it and don’t want to tell me why.
  • @JWCinPDX
    Saying things that need to be said. Good on you. Etsy has a reputation for banning stores for seemingly no reason. You have told people what the reason may be.
  • @Strykertd
    Or to be safe, call it limited or something, just in case of supply worries or contact them to find out about item to see if there is lots
  • @JohnVijlbrief
    Valuable tips, clear narrative, good examples. Well, POD isn't a straightforward market area. I'm going to read your book! Thank you! Of course, I'm subscribing to your channel.
  • @HalkerVeil
    Reasons why I banned Etsy from my browser.
  • @Peacelovejoy1111
    That actually happened to me with the colors with fulfill engine. Heather prism peach and Heather prism lilac were ones they offered and they were the only print provider with them… it became my most popular and then they discontinued it or completely ran out idk. Had to go over to Printful to get the orders fulfilled.
  • @SpeedbirdHeavy
    Really helpful. Had never considered the 'out of stock' angle before. Maybe one solution is to limit inventory numbers, then refresh, but not ideal if you don't want to intervene in your processes too often.
  • @yougeo
    In a way I think this is your most important video. Avoiding those bad reviews is the number one thing. And choosing products that will avoid bad reviews is more important than trying to find Niche that no one else is in it's going to possibly compromise your reviews.
  • No idea why the algorithm brought me here but as someone who shops on Etsy a lot it was a very interesting video! Thank you for emphasising how important reviews are, I usually don’t bother but will definitely make more of an effort in future. ❤
  • @DetourShirts
    Another great video! Quality is always a good way to go. T-Shirts do have a ton of competition but I love them.
  • @2rjger
    This is great info. Your behind the scene looks and deep dive are appreciated. Learned big time. 👏🏾
