Ranking in the organic search is a dream. I'm hoping to get over 2% conversion rate for PPC ad traffic. maybe far in the future my listings will get sales from the search.
Thanks for the videos. I now have an profitable outlet for my creativity. I love your pace in the videos and I never feel overwhelmed by the amount of content. Thank again!
Thanks! Etsy no longer has 'Best Seller' in their filter for searching. They replaced it with Star Seller - big difference! I'm a Star Seller, but don't have any Bestseller items, yet.
Every single one of your videos is super helpful. They contain information others are hiding and there’s little to no self promotion or fluff. Thank you so much.
Hi Cassiy! Thank you again for all of your useful content! Would you consider making a video about your monthly business expenses with a list of all the tools/software you use? Not everyone can afford the exact tools but it’s helpful to know what to expect to purchase as our businesses grow. Thank you!
Hello Cassiy. Thank you for this information. I communicated with you a few weeks ago and took your advice about studying the competition. I have been using both Everbee and Sales Samuri. I learned so much. Even realized that the loss leader concept was being used by 2 year old competitors. I established my pricing concept and am now working on the design aspect. I have received 11 sales so far. My fingers are crossed as I continue to move forward. Again, thank you for your videos and recent advice.
Congrats on getting started and taking action! I love that you are doing your own research and making decisions accordingly 👏 you will do great things thinking that way!
Thank you very much for being so transparent in what it takes to start and run a successful Etsy shop. If I can I’d like to schedule a one on one consultation.
Hey Pamela! I am so glad you are enjoying my content ❤️ I no longer offer the 1:1 coaching but I do offer group coaching in my course now! The details are on my website Cassiyjohnson.com if you want to check it out!
Hi Cassie - great video, great advice. Just watched the playback of the live call with you and Heather. That was awesome - you had so much good advice. It's funny - you and Heather are the ones I followed that inspired me to get into POD - I didn't know you 2 knew each other. I'm taking her POD Academy. You're both awesome!
That was such a fun call, so glad you enjoyed it!! I am not quite half done recording everything so I’m working to get it done asap and not overthink it like I said in the meeting 😅 aiming for maybe end of February!
Thank you Cassiy for your many lessons. I bought some of your mock-ups from your last video I looked at. I realized I cannot use them on Printify, not I am not sure of a few things such as, how to upload, where does the tee-shirt coming form, who will ship it and all the things that comes after someone buys it. I understand how Printify does it once an order is made. There is no video so that I can find to help me.
Hey Cassiy! Love your content! I am eagerly awaiting your print on demand course. Please please come up with it as soon as possible. If your free content is this much valuable I can only imaging how great your paid content will be! Due to the rise of POD, there are many marketers who were selling their expensive $997 courses on Amazon FBA are now also entering the print on demand space. I would hate to see them taking all the market share when such an awesome creator like you can absolutely roll out a helpful POD course for us. Please please launch it as soon as possible🙏❤️
@@CassiyJohnson Thanks Cassiy! I will be eagerly awaiting the announcement of your course on your TH-cam channel, I have my notifications for your channel turned on😊
Thank you for this insightful information. I loved understanding better how ranking on the Etsy search results works. I'm not understanding what you mean by a 3x3 pattern. I think you mean to just take the 9 icons and put them in a 3x3 arrangement (3 columns x 3 rows). Or is there a pattern you use somehow? Was this related to the heart somehow?
Thank you so much, but I upload some items and prices are really high so now I know to go in and adjust and look for competitive rising. I’ve only been. On 1 month
Thank you Cassiy! Your content is awesome and always just what I need to hear! Down the road would you consider doing a video on selling kids shirts? I have researched it, but the production cost on printify and the limited products make me question if it is worth my time. You would basically need to charge almost the same price as adult shirts to make any money. Yet I see some sellers have built a whole store around it and don't sell the shirts for much money. Thank you for your time!
I'm finding the same thing and am curious as to your thoughts or experience Cassiy. It seems like such a great niche, but I'm hesitating for the same reason.
Hi Cassiy, Thanks for sharing. I have a question related to videos tutorial, please. I knit and crochet and I would like to sell my videos, but I don't know how to list. Help me, please. Thanks!
Thanks Cassiy! This is right on time! I actually woke up stumped today. I've been watching my listings and seeing LOTS of favorites and visits come through which is helping me understand what's actually trending (and I'll continue to make more designs in those niches); however, my conversion rate has been so LOW!!! Because of your videos, I think I've got my SEO and listing photos in good shape. Now I'll work on perfecting the other areas of my listings and adding those personalization options to differentiate my listings too. Adding the details about the high quality of DTF is a great idea too! I think it's time to dabble with a loss leader for a few listings too! P.S. I use your profit calculator daily! It's fabulous. Worth every penny. I also saw the new Everbee "Profit Calculator" show up today while I was researching. Curious to hear what you think of it. Maybe in another video? Thanks again! Lisa
I saw the new profit calculator too! It’s basically the same thing as the profit calculator on my document, just with a few other options for people who have more complicated businesses. But super convenient to have it built right in now!
I was probably making a few hundred dollars per month, I think my first ever video I went month by month on how many sales I had my first 8 months selling if you want to go back and watch it! I’d make a goal of getting to 500-1000 listings by the end of your first year. You will learn a lot over this time and have tested a ton of things! I think I had over 500 listings by time I started making any real money. Everyone’s journey is different though but I think it’s good to know that it takes time and you have to test lots of different stuff to see what works for you!
Thank you!! I love watching all of your videos! The information you share has been so helpful!! I know you have made previous videos about it, but what are your current favorite print providers to use for t-shirts? Do you have trouble with the ink colors not matching your designs like red? Do you use a color palette shirt to help while designing to know how the colors will print? Also, have you ever used CustomCat? Thank you!!!
Thanks Cassiy you have been a great resource for my Sis and I as we are building out our ideas. I do have a question. I see you setting up your items from Printify and I know you have ordered some of your designs but can you speak to the QA that comes from Printify if any? I doubt you order a proof every time. How are you ensuring quality?
Thank you Cassiy, Your videos are super informative, easy to follow, interesting and helpful. I would really be interested in a video on how you manage delivery profiles? Do you create one for each listing and/or a variety of groups of listings, or a generic profile for each item (eg. tshirts, sweatshirts, mugs, totes,)? Also, would love a video on the best way to organize your shop ie. categories, like items together (ie all sweaters together, tshirts together, etc) OR, like designs together OR... other options? Also, do you suggest mock ups for unisex clothing to be non binary, or since etsy is majority female buyers, do your mock ups focus on the female buyer and have accessories accordingly?
I do just one delivery profile typically unless I am doing a different shipping type for a whole category. I wouldn’t recommend spending much time at all organizing your shop. And I typically sell mainly women’s clothing in my store so I use a lot of women model mock-ups or I just use flat lays for the unisex designs, which just means it’s a picture of a shirt flat of the floor or hanging up instead of on someone. Try not to overthink some of this stuff! The important parts are, find what’s already selling, add some value by creating your own version of a design for that niche, and get it listed. Best of luck!
@@CassiyJohnson I appreciate the advice about trying not to overthink all this! It's easy to do as a beginner. Your content is so great, and we appreciate it Cassiy!!!!!!
Hi Cassiy! Thank you for the great video! Do you have different conversion rates throughout the year? I had a 3-4% conversion rate in Q4 and several of my listings were in multiple carts for the first time. Now of course that has dropped in January. Is a 3-4% conversion rate good during the holidays or should it be higher? Am I on the right track?
Hi Cassiy. I went to your link to try and book a 30 minute call but there was no way to sign up so I could sign in and book a call time. What should I do to book a call with you?
So sorry I don’t have those available any longer as I am currently working on my course! I’ll release more info about it once it’s ready. Hope my free content can help in the meantime!!
Great video,Cassiy! Do you suggest opening only a POD Apparel store in 2023 considering the extremely high competition in this space on Etsy? To give you an example, I am interested in opening a POD Apparel store in camping niche. I just typed “Camping t-shirt” on Etsy and it showed me 86,852 results. As a new seller just starting out, how can I make sure Etsy will show my designs in this sea of 86,852 designs considering very few customers go past Page-2 statistically on e-commerce websites for their purchases. I would appreciate your response on this topic,thanks.
Hi Cassiy! Thanks for all your videos, i’m watching all the videos in your channel. Can u make a new video to explain how to automate the etsy business? I mean like messages to your customers, bulk creation of listings ecc. Thank you!!
I opened an Etsy shop planning to post daily with many listings every day and stay consistent. I lost motivation and haven't posted on the Etsy account in over a month. Can I go back to listing consistently or will Etsy not like my account for the algorithm because I stopped posting? Is my account a lost cause in the algorithm or can I give the grind another shot?
You are fine to keep on listing starting now!! Just posting consistently helps you to keep the momentum. Etsy isn't going to penalize you for not listing more. You've got this! Just do it a sustainable amount so it becomes part of your routine. Maybe set a goal of just doing one listing per day even!
Awesome video! Are you aware if changing photos on a listing can cause issues with seo? For instance if I wanted to go back and add the direct to fabric or reviews cards into each listing.
The only photo they recommend not changing is the main image, you can add things within the listing all you want! You can even use bulk editing softwares like Vela!
Thank you for your VERY helpful videos. I'm a huge fan of your fuss-free, informative style! If you have a minute, can you speak to whether you would include POD and handmade items in the same store? I want to do TShirts, mugs, digital wall art, and even some handmade art and home decor. Would you include POD with the other types of items? TIA!
You are fine to include whatever you'd like within one store but I would caution you on spreading yourself so thin trying to sell all of those things at once. It takes awhile to really understand a product type, test things, learn and then scale your business. If you are spreading your time between so many categories, then it might take you a lot longer to get good at selling just one of them.
@@CassiyJohnson understood! Thanks so much. I was mainly trying to avoid having to make my own shirts (LOL) to include in my collection, but wasn’t sure it that would clash with handmade goods, or if having two separate stores was the better option (which has its own caveats). Not sure which would be the better route. Love your videos!
No, just the ones I use! Which usually is the Norma color, White, black, athletic Heather, mauve, Heather peach, dark gray Heather and then I use other colors for special things like holidays here and there. No need to go crazy with the colors, the most popular ones sell the best!
Hi! Just attempted to open my Etsy shop and while I’m creating the banner and logo the account gets suspended! Do you have any idea why this would happen?
Hi! Thanks so much for watching! This happens a lot with new shops! I talked about what to do when this happens in one of my recent videos: th-cam.com/video/aF7KexlnS08/w-d-xo.html
Love your videos! Quick Q: I'm using Everbee. I typed "mountain tshirts" in the search bar and hit Product Analytics. The first few listings have nothing to do with mountains shirts. 2 are candles and their SEO doesn't even contain "mountain" or "shirts." How are they ranking 1st on this search term without using the key words anywhere in their listing?
Hello Cassiy. I'm thinking of having a personalizable aspect for sweatshirts. On this video, you touched on "personalizable designs". Can you please let us know how to go about that? Like is there a tool that we can use for that? A subscription-based service provider? Thanks.
Hi Cassiy! As always amazing videos! We got our first two sales, and they are both international (Canada and Germany), I was wondering if you can make a video about that, the one for Germany, Etsy message us about a Etsy's IOSS number/VAS. Do we need to do anything related to that? Wondering how we talk to Printful or Printify about it. Would be great a video about international sales and tips :D thanks!!!
Great Video as always!!! I know you sell to Canada and USA only for your Printify items. If I was in the USA, how would I ship to USA free but charge shipping for Canada?
Hi Brenda! In the shipping profile (when you're editing your listing on Etsy) you can edit shipping charges by country. So for the US I select free shipping, but under Canada I type in the amount I want to charge to ship. I hope that makes sense! Thanks for watching!!
Can you give a recommendation for a profit percentage rather than an actual profit? I also put the items on sale and what is the suggested times to put items on sale?
I really recommend doing the competitor research I mentioned in this video so you can find for yourself the proof of what is the most competitive way to price your products that is working for other successful sellers! You can also see when they are running their sales and for how long! It can be different for different niches and product types so this is the best way to get proven answers, since they are getting sales so it must be working if that makes sense!
We shoot for 20%-25% NET profit. That is after ALL expenses are added together. Our biggest expenses are product cost, Etsy fees, and advertising. If you shoot for at least 35%-40% gross profit on each item (sale price less the product cost), you should be able to hit 20% net profit with no problem. Hope that helps!
Hi Cassiy, I've recently changed my shop to the spend $35 and get free shipping guarantee, and not Etsy is saying I need to update my shipping for the delivery dates? I'm not sure how to fit that since the shipping is through Printify.
Hi Cassiy, thanks as always for your great videos. Wondering if I could get your thoughts on 2 things... 1) Have you ever had issues logging into your etsy account from a different location? I am a digital nomad and I was recently suspended on Etsy for a suspicious log-in from my location that doesn't match my shop location or residential address. - 2) Shop location: Do you understand this to be the sellers physical location? Or the location where your shirts are printed and shipped from? There is NO policy on Etsy explaining that. I ship exclusively from and to the US, but I physically am not in the US. You know Etsy is notorious for not answering and getting back to you. Your thoughts would be highly appreciated!
Okay I'm panicking! I copied one of my POD listings from Etsy instead of duplicating it on Printify. Is the new listing that I hit "Copy," changed the cover photo, and published somehow still linked to Printify or did I break the link when I copied it from Etsy instead of Printify?
It’s still connected! The SKU number in the listing is what tells Printify what to order. The only thing that would change that is if you change the design in Printify at all like resizing the image for example
Thank you Cassiy I appreciate all the information you provide. I have a question on how to get sales. I have visits, I have views and I also get favorites, however I don't get sales. I am 4 months new and I got 4 organic sales and 9 sales from family around Christmas. Since Dec it's been crickets on the sales. I don't know what is going on and why I am not getting sales. I do everything I am learning.
Sorry to hear that, it should have brought you to the download page after purchasing! Go ahead and email me from the email you purchased it under at stopmockandroll@gmail.com and I will get that sent over for you!
Hey! I have a question- basically I just opened my shop up almost a week ago, and I feel like I’m implementing all the strategies to the best of my ability but not getting much views! I began taking time of day into consideration? I am guilty of uploading listings really late at night smh, do you have any suggestions for the best times of day to upload onto Etsy? And would this be different for Pinterest? Thank you in advance, your videos are amazing:)
Matching competitors prices is hard for me. The big shops seem to have super low profit margins on their items. I cannot sell for that cheap or there would be no point in running my store whatsoever.
hello I have 2 questions please answer :) 1: I am 17 how can I open an Etsy shop? 2: can I open an Etsy shop without a Tax ID also have Printify without Tax ID? I am based in UK. Thank you! :D
No so sorry I don’t have those available any longer as I am currently working on my course! I’ll release more info about it once it’s ready. Hope my free content can help in the meantime!!
Can I get you to do a video on Yoycol its a Chinese All-over-print compainy and All-over printing is what I'm in too. It has the most prducts I have ever seen from a Print on demand company and its cheaper than Printful
Hi Cassiy! Thank you for the amazing and informative content you keep pushing out for us. I just tried using your promo code to trial Printify Premium but it’s saying the code does not exist 😢
Hello Cassiy, I just sent you a message from another vlog you posted regarding my shop on Etsy. I need your professional advise, however bad or good. My shop name is qualiteesaccessoriess. Thanks in advance. Be blessed.

To give you an example, I am interested in opening a POD Apparel store in camping niche. I just typed “Camping t-shirt” on Etsy and it showed me 86,852 results. As a new seller just starting out, how can I make sure Etsy will show my designs in this sea of 86,852 designs considering very few customers go past Page-2 statistically on e-commerce websites for their purchases. I would appreciate your response on this topic,thanks.
Hi Cassiy! Thanks for all your videos, i’m watching all the videos in your channel. Can u make a new video to explain how to automate the etsy business? I mean like messages to your customers, bulk creation of listings ecc. Thank you!!
I opened an Etsy shop planning to post daily with many listings every day and stay consistent. I lost
motivation and haven't posted on the Etsy account in over a month. Can I go back to listing
consistently or will Etsy not like my account for the algorithm because I stopped posting? Is my
account a lost cause in the algorithm or can I give the grind another shot?
You are fine to keep on listing starting now!! Just posting consistently helps you to keep the momentum. Etsy isn't going to penalize you for not listing more. You've got this! Just do it a sustainable amount so it becomes part of your routine. Maybe set a goal of just doing one listing per day even!
Awesome video! Are you aware if changing photos on a listing can cause issues with seo? For instance if I wanted to go back and add the direct to fabric or reviews cards into each listing.
The only photo they recommend not changing is the main image, you can add things within the listing all you want! You can even use bulk editing softwares like Vela!
@@CassiyJohnson awesome thank you so much!
Thank you for your VERY helpful videos. I'm a huge fan of your fuss-free, informative style! If you have a minute, can you speak to whether you would include POD and handmade items in the same store? I want to do TShirts, mugs, digital wall art, and even some handmade art and home decor. Would you include POD with the other types of items?
TIA!
You are fine to include whatever you'd like within one store but I would caution you on spreading yourself so thin trying to sell all of those things at once. It takes awhile to really understand a product type, test things, learn and then scale your business. If you are spreading your time between so many categories, then it might take you a lot longer to get good at selling just one of them.
@@CassiyJohnson understood! Thanks so much. I was mainly trying to avoid having to make my own shirts (LOL) to include in my collection, but wasn’t sure it that would clash with handmade goods, or if having two separate stores was the better option (which has its own caveats). Not sure which would be the better route.
Love your videos!
Thank you Cassy! Another great content.😍 My store is on vacation, can you give some advice on how to deal with this issue.
Do you have mockups for every monster digital shirt color?
No, just the ones I use! Which usually is the Norma color, White, black, athletic Heather, mauve, Heather peach, dark gray Heather and then I use other colors for special things like holidays here and there. No need to go crazy with the colors, the most popular ones sell the best!
Hi! Just attempted to open my Etsy shop and while I’m creating the banner and logo the account gets suspended! Do you have any idea why this would happen?
Hi! Thanks so much for watching! This happens a lot with new shops! I talked about what to do when this happens in one of my recent videos: th-cam.com/video/aF7KexlnS08/w-d-xo.html
Love your videos! Quick Q: I'm using Everbee. I typed "mountain tshirts" in the search bar and hit Product Analytics. The first few listings have nothing to do with mountains shirts. 2 are candles and their SEO doesn't even contain "mountain" or "shirts." How are they ranking 1st on this search term without using the key words anywhere in their listing?
Hello Cassiy. I'm thinking of having a personalizable aspect for sweatshirts. On this video, you touched on "personalizable designs". Can you please let us know how to go about that? Like is there a tool that we can use for that? A subscription-based service provider? Thanks.
Hi Cassiy! As always amazing videos! We got our first two sales, and they are both international (Canada and Germany), I was wondering if you can make a video about that, the one for Germany, Etsy message us about a Etsy's IOSS number/VAS. Do we need to do anything related to that? Wondering how we talk to Printful or Printify about it. Would be great a video about international sales and tips :D thanks!!!
Great Video as always!!! I know you sell to Canada and USA only for your Printify items. If I was in the USA, how would I ship to USA free but charge shipping for Canada?
Hi Brenda! In the shipping profile (when you're editing your listing on Etsy) you can edit shipping charges by country. So for the US I select free shipping, but under Canada I type in the amount I want to charge to ship. I hope that makes sense! Thanks for watching!!
@@CassiyJohnson When you put in a charge to ship to Canada does Etsy ask you for weight, height and length?
Can you give a recommendation for a profit percentage rather than an actual profit? I also put the items on sale and what is the suggested times to put items on sale?
I really recommend doing the competitor research I mentioned in this video so you can find for yourself the proof of what is the most competitive way to price your products that is working for other successful sellers! You can also see when they are running their sales and for how long! It can be different for different niches and product types so this is the best way to get proven answers, since they are getting sales so it must be working if that makes sense!
We shoot for 20%-25% NET profit. That is after ALL expenses are added together. Our biggest expenses are product cost, Etsy fees, and advertising. If you shoot for at least 35%-40% gross profit on each item (sale price less the product cost), you should be able to hit 20% net profit with no problem. Hope that helps!
Hi Cassiy, I've recently changed my shop to the spend $35 and get free shipping guarantee, and not Etsy is saying I need to update my shipping for the delivery dates? I'm not sure how to fit that since the shipping is through Printify.
Hi Cassiy, thanks as always for your great videos. Wondering if I could get your thoughts on 2 things... 1) Have you ever had issues logging into your etsy account from a different location? I am a digital nomad and I was recently suspended on Etsy for a suspicious log-in from my location that doesn't match my shop location or residential address. - 2) Shop location: Do you understand this to be the sellers physical location? Or the location where your shirts are printed and shipped from? There is NO policy on Etsy explaining that. I ship exclusively from and to the US, but I physically am not in the US. You know Etsy is notorious for not answering and getting back to you. Your thoughts would be highly appreciated!
Okay I'm panicking! I copied one of my POD listings from Etsy instead of duplicating it on Printify. Is the new listing that I hit "Copy," changed the cover photo, and published somehow still linked to Printify or did I break the link when I copied it from Etsy instead of Printify?
It’s still connected! The SKU number in the listing is what tells Printify what to order. The only thing that would change that is if you change the design in Printify at all like resizing the image for example
Thank you Cassiy I appreciate all the information you provide. I have a question on how to get sales. I have visits, I have views and I also get favorites, however I don't get sales. I am 4 months new and I got 4 organic sales and 9 sales from family around Christmas. Since Dec it's been crickets on the sales. I don't know what is going on and why I am not getting sales. I do everything I am learning.
@@jonathanwilliams3846 why did you respond to me?
Hey I purchased your Niche calendar download but I never received it and was charged. Not sure how to contact you other then here !
Sorry to hear that, it should have brought you to the download page after purchasing! Go ahead and email me from the email you purchased it under at stopmockandroll@gmail.com and I will get that sent over for you!
Hey! I have a question- basically I just opened my shop up almost a week ago, and I feel like I’m implementing all the strategies to the best of my ability but not getting much views! I began taking time of day into consideration? I am guilty of uploading listings really late at night smh, do you have any suggestions for the best times of day to upload onto Etsy? And would this be different for Pinterest?
Thank you in advance, your videos are amazing:)
I am a store that sells digital products, but I am not specialized in one field specializes in 3 magazines, Does it affect sales
Matching competitors prices is hard for me. The big shops seem to have super low profit margins on their items. I cannot sell for that cheap or there would be no point in running my store whatsoever.
hello I have 2 questions please answer :)
1: I am 17 how can I open an Etsy shop?
2: can I open an Etsy shop without a Tax ID also have Printify without Tax ID? I am based in UK.
Thank you! :D
Hi Cassiy! How do I get the bestseller option on my Etsy filters?
They took that option away this week actually so it’s no longer available!
What is the best way to do my research without that option?
Can I sell Ebook on Etsy
Do you have any tips for improving image quality? I upload at the size Etsy recommends but it can still look low quality once uploaded.
FYI ,first page on Etsy is different for each buyer 😉.
Great video, Cassiy! Thanks for the tips about making designs stand out by using heartbeats and grids. Great ideas. :)
Thanks so much for watching! I hope this video was so helpful for you! :)
What happens if you get a sale but Printify can’t charge you due to lack of funds?
Then the item will not get started being made until you update the payment method!
Hi Cassie, Do you still do shop reviews or mentoring ?
No so sorry I don’t have those available any longer as I am currently working on my course! I’ll release more info about it once it’s ready. Hope my free content can help in the meantime!!
@@CassiyJohnson thank you !
Cassiy yo so beautiful
Can I get you to do a video on Yoycol its a Chinese All-over-print compainy and All-over printing is what I'm in too. It has the most prducts I have ever seen from a Print on demand company and its cheaper than Printful
Hi Cassiy! Thank you for the amazing and informative content you keep pushing out for us. I just tried using your promo code to trial Printify Premium but it’s saying the code does not exist 😢
So sorry about that, I just messaged Printify and they got it fixed for me! Please go ahead and try it again and let me know if it doesn't work.
Hi Cassiy! CASSIY30 is not working on Printify, is there a new code please?👈
So sorry about that, I just messaged Printify and they got it fixed for me! Please go ahead and try it again and let me know if it doesn't work.
