Hi Brandon. Thanks for sharing your journey. I came across with a question. I got your point that you've presented in this video 3 revenue streams, namely, digital products, physical products and print on demand. My question is, why did you create 3 different shops? Can't you have just 1 shop, and, create the revenue streams inside that shop? Because, you already got an audience created from you first shop.

Thank you for sharing this! Your videos are so transparent and encouraging! Is there a reason or method for why you separate each of the shops instead of combining the digital ones? I have a digital Etsy shop selling planner pages and Canva invitations. I know they’re two different categories but I struggle to separate them because it took so long to establish that first shop. Any method to why/how you start from fresh on your shops?

Thank you so much for sharing. Although I have been at Etsy over 10 years selling a physical product since the pandemic i have learned adobe illustrator and am now ready to open a digital shop. Your videos have been extremely informative and simply love your tone of voice and pleasant expressions. I do view them many times until I get what you are saying since this is a whole new world for me🌺

Hi Timothy! Cheers from Romania! I am following you since a year ago since I saw your shop too. I must say I'm sorry didn't watched more than 3-4 videos of yours but starting today, among the ladies here on youtube that offer advice for Etsy, I can feel and see you are and sound credible and not trying to impress rather than present facts as they are. Stay the same pls!! I also opened 1-2 shops ( with my own original creations) and can't wait for the third one. In fact I was afraid 5 would be the number but was afraid this would be a bit too much hehe. Thanks for sharing !!! You are a true inspiration!! 😊👏🙏

Great video Brandon! Super informative as always! I have a quick question that I cannot seem to find an answer to. My partner and I have a digital art shop that folks can simply download our artwork. We are looking into expanding and offering POD prints. Our issue is that you cannot have POD (integration) and digital downloads in the same listing. We are looking at starting a second shop, that offers the same artwork but printed via our POD partner (Gelato). We have gotten advice from people that 1. Opening a second shop with the same products but POD instead of digital download is fine and no problem with ETSY. 2. Opening a second shop with the same products but POD instead of digital download is a serious issue with ETSY and will result in the shop being shut down. Any chance you know if this is allowed? Any clarification is greatly appreciated. Thanks for considering to respond. Looking forward to your future videos.

I want to start selling templates but not sure if I can using a free account. Thank you as always!
