Hi, question.. are all of your stores on Etsy or do you sell on other platforms? Also, you have several separate shops for each little niche? I’m trying to decide if I should niche down more or even up more, and also considering opening another shop with slightly different target audience.

@@Sunset1705 yes, I do have more than one Etsy shop. Also have eBay, Amazon, RedBubble, Zazzle. I design everything from products to digital, to cards to books. I highly believe you shouldn't put all your eggs in one basket. I have seen sites close and take all my hard work with them. It's discouraging. I stay busy and never get bored. Each of my Etsy stores specializes in something. I ran a woodworking Etsy store for 10 years but recently closed it due to declining sales and rising shipping costs.

Trust me, selling digital items on etsy is a nightmare. My friend was selling for 5 years and a bunch of competitors kept reporting her. Actually, they were buying her items, reporting her and reselling her design. Etsy couldn't do anything about it and eventually, she closed her shop. And yes, she was making sales at first but after 2 or 3 months, it went down and not only her but I hear this story so many times.

How could they report her successfully? If she had her items listed already, and they were 100% hers, there is no way to prove otherwise. I have a bunch of copyrighted songs in the US copyright office. What if we protect our work that way before listing it online?

@@BillGraper 🤔That's how it works on Etsy. You can report anyone, Etsy doesn't really check who the owner is. If you don't believe me, you can try, and you will see it will work. Etsy doesn't want to be involved in this infringement stuff. You can report anyone now if you wish to, you will see it works, and that's the whole problem. You know what, I talked to some people about it because that is a known issue, and Etsy doesn't care, but if you want to protect yourself, the ONLY way is to get a lawyer so when you get reported, your lawyer will talk with Etsy, and then you are protected. Is it worth it? I guess so. Is it expensive a lot, and that's another reason why most people lose their work because they don't want to pay for a lawyer. After talking to my friend, she told me many people started to sell on their own websites. If you count your loss by fake reports vs lower sales on your website, you are winning to be your own boss. This is something people need to consider more because people think Etsy brings free traffic. While it's true, getting a flow of fake reports is the culprit on Etsy, and this is enough to make you bankrupt. My friend lost over 100K because of this. There is a large network in Vietnam doing fake reports. They have tons of phony accounts with credit cards. Enough to keep you busy with counter-notices instead of focusing on creating and selling on Etsy.

I came across sublimation and loved designing for that shop that I started selling printed products (started researching end of 2019 and started beginning 2020). After I had so many questions about my designs I decided to sell some sublimation png files in a new digital shop about 4 months ago. I didn't realize how much I would love it!

However, I just opened a second digital shop a few weeks ago but no sales yet on it as I only have 5 listings. At this shop I have digital stamps for people that make cards, however I’m thinking of changing it to png files for sublimation. I draw my art in procreate but I’m having trouble figuring out how large a png sublimation file should be. I’ve had to go digital because of problems I’m having with my thumbs due to the amount of vinyl I’ve had to peel on my current store as it’s very repetitive.

Hi Lauren, thank you for this video! I am still in the researching phase on the road to starting my own Etsy shop. I do have a question would it be okay to have digital products along with physical items listed? I really want to create digital planners but also physical planners. Idk I feel stuck should I just start with digital first?

This may cause confusion with shoppers so make sure if you do both that it is clear what they are receiving.

I would consider opening two different stores and selling one niche per store. One digital store and one for products

Just a tip! Don’t get stuck in Analysis paralysis lol. I wanted to start a business and spent to much time thinking/ trying to make everything perfect. You’ve just got to jump in and figure things out as you go!

@@jaydensiba8138 Thanks for this tip. I too feel as though I'm in that phase. I've been creating printables for our homeschool and when I taught pre-k. My 9 year old asked me why I didn't sell them online. But, there are so many things to learn right off the bat, that I feel I have hit a wall. Lauren, do you have videos for setting up your shop from scratch or how to create a nice mockup for a printable? I am having a hard time finding a mockup for kids schedule printables. Thanks!

hi maam that was an informative video! I am selling digital downloads on etsy but I came across a doubt that, can the sold files be downloaded any time by the customer, and does it lead to exploiting my files by reselling them by the customers... pls anyone help me clear it...🙂

This was so helpful! Thank you! I'm interested in selling digital art online in the form of fanart, portraits and all kinds of illustrations. What's holding me back, though, is the fact that I don't know how to protect my products from being stolen with a simple "Save image" button. Could you please help me with some tips on that?

Etsy has very strict rules about fan art. Only a very limited number of original creators allow fan art, and even then you have to get it approved by the original creator. I know, for example, Star Trek, allows fan art, but only if they have preapproved it. They don't take a cut of the fan art but they want to make sure it is something they are happy to be associated with their brand. All of the info and links are in the Etsy FAQs

Affiliate marketing can be done with any niche but is usually around content creation! Aka, sharing products you use or need for a certain niche

Can you make a specific video for the information that you were giving around the 5 minute mark about making "download" buttons that'll bring the customers to where you've stored your larger files? That would be soooo helpful! Thank you 🫶

Hello, thanks for this useful video! I wanted to sell my hand made drawings on etsy but in a digital format, as I don't have a lot of time to send them. Do you know how to digitalize a drawing without decreasing quality? Thanks a lot, have a good day!

Are there platforms that will "store" the digital file for me? I'm selling products using printifyto integrate with Etsy so perhaps they can handle that as well?
