How I Made Money FAST With A NEW Etsy Store

🙏 Just a quick New Zealand accent translation for those of you who are new here 🗣 Itsy = Etsy Disines = Designs Tist = Test What other words did I miss? 😉

Etsy will demote you if you let your store go idle. I went idle last summer and my view and sales both decreased going into Christmas last year. When I started working in my store almost every day again (uploading products, tweaking titles and pics, etc.), my view count (and sales) started going up again after a few weeks. The absolute worst thing you can do is throw up a huge number of products, then sit back and do nothing while you wait for everyone to beat a path to your door. It's MUCH better to upload one or two products a day and slow-roll the process. Etsy rewards that.

Pricing in the Middle - reminds me of one of my favorite stories in one of my favorite books Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion by Robert Cialdini. A brick and mortar store owner had trouble with one line of jewelry. Frustrated she told her employee to put it all at 50% off then went on vacation. Upon her return she was surprised and pleased to learn the jewelry had sold out. Even more surprising was she found the employee misunderstood her instructions and doubled the prices instead of halving them. It seems customers bought when they perceived the items were priced higher they became more desirable.

This video is POWERFUL as so many of us share the same issues on Etsy

I must say "SUPERB". You are more than perfect. A real honest and passionate trainer willing to educate everyone!

Exactly what I needed to hear! I recently posted my 20th listing on Etsy and I was thinking of giving up, but after watching this I’m ready to keep going. Thank you Sarah!

You are a very simple, humble, kind, decent yet very sweet person I have ever seen on YouTube. Your my favourite youtuber I love you gal keep growing and keep giving teaching us. ❤

I just opened my Etsy store and haven't started uploading as yet, so glad I found you 🎉

Thank you Sara, I like how you approach things pragmatically, just speaking with a smile on your face gives hope, also the videos editing are great

THANKS FOR THE INFO SARAH!!

Hi Sarah, Thanks again for your videos, based on your videos I have created an Etsy store. I can say your videos have gotten much better over the years. i do rely on them so thank you.

I just wanted to comment after binging some of your videos along with this one, and I wanted to thank you! I genuinely feel that your channel has had the most useful information when it comes to running a shop. I have gotten information and insights from your channel I haven't gotten anywhere else. And I have ADHD and get hyperfixated on binging etsy business videos so I don't mean that lightly haha. I sometimes feel like I'm just consuming the same info over and over so your channel was a breath of fresh air! I hope you have the best day ^-^

Thank you, Wholesale Ted. You have been a huge help.❤❤❤

I've always admired Sarah's ability to mock negative commenters but also remain adorable at the same time, LOL

Thank you Sarah, for this excellent video! ❤ I learn so much each time, and take notes that I keep in a note app in my phone, and in a physical lined notebook w/ sketches, (which I think everyone should consider doing if they can't hold all of your POD and Etsy video notes in their head at once. ) Your videos are of the highest quality, and get straight to the point. I know you must get tired of making some of the top most important points over-and-over again (alongside the new points in your current videos). People seem to either not hear the important points you make in your videos, so miss out, do not take notes so they forget them, do not ever apply them FULLY to their store, or just don't assess their store by at least comparing it to top stores that are similar to what they want to achieve with theirs. Nothing is easy, and I think people also "throw in the towel" too soon because they expect to make money immediately and consistently without putting an appropriate amount of effort in (minimal effort will not cut it, because there is so much competition). As a side note; as far as t-shirt Etsy shop YouTube channels go, I think people who look at those other YouTubers channel's shops (if they give their shop's name), and see their more reasonable t-shirts prices and high sales, and wonder why we sellers cannot match those prices because we would make no profit, it is because those other YouTuber's Etsy shops that I found PRINT THEIR OWN T-SHIRTS! Yes, after watching some of their content over again (and also interviews of the shop owners with other YouTubers), they sometimes may briefly mention that they have a "team", and they PRINT THEIR OWN SHIRTS! So they end end with more profit, a faster turn-around time, and can sell at a LOWER PRICE point than the rest of us who strictly rely on P.O.D. To make and ship for us!

Finding a gap in an existing market is so important. You have to start from square 1 - what do people actually want/need. From here you can refine products and designs to fit that want/need better instead of spending time designing products nobody wants in the first place. Great content!

Sarah, as a marketing graduate with nearly 4 decades of experience, I found your video very informative and useful. Especially your part about price anchoring. For those not doing well on Etsy, I would love to see their products, titles and descriptions, to determine if they failed due to product saturation, poor designs/titles/descriptions, or poor marketing. Signed up to your newsletter too. What else would you do to get more traffic to an Etsy store? Social media and website backlinks, more SEO, and/or advertising (free and paid)?

Definitely learned something new seerah :D as everytime, you somehow deliver, keep growing 💯

Thanks so much Sarah! I have a great niche idea! 😍 Gona start soon 💖 wish me luck 🤞🤞🤞

Thank you Sarah for the inspiration!
