I can't say how much I wish I would've found your channel before purchasing 2 POD courses... You have given so much helpful, encouraging and realistic information - and for free. Can't thank you enough. Want to join your Simply Thrive group soon once I get through all the modules. Thanks Mandy!!
Time-blocking has probably been my greatest takeaway from all of your videos. With ADHD I've always felt the need to finish every step of a project in fear of forgetting or dropping the ball if I step away from it. So I was context switching constantly in the beginning of my POD journey and it was not only crazy-inefficient but also mentally exhausting. Double hand high fives for that gold, Mandy! Seriously!🏆
Double hand high fives right back at ya! I’m so glad it’s been helpful for you!! 💜💜
Omg that is how I feel 😅
Getting good at making nice looking designs is important, too. I think that even though I've had hundreds of designs up with educated SEO, etc., something that took me even longer to do was getting good at making good looking shirts. It's not natural for everyone.
Mandy, Every time I watch your videos I feel like you are calling me out specifically! That's how timely they are and the content is always to the point and just enough to give us that push without handholding! You are a true inspiration! Thank you for all you do!
I Can tell that this will be a video I come back to throughout the year. My goal is to pay off my $10,000 in debt in 2024 and get 100,000 in revenue. I’m at $29,900 now and 25% of my debt paid off. I have 3700 listings but I’m going to start with social media, dive into my email list, and build out my niches. I want to add more group listings in 2024. Oh, and be more organized 😂
Rileigh! You are doing amazing - so excited for you to reach your goals in 2024! Cheering you on 💜
I was just about to rewatch your time-blocking series when this popped up! Such perfect timing and exactly the information I've been searching for! Thank you!
Looking forward to this. Thank you Mandy for inspiring me and helping me to start my Etsy shop. Your gentleness, great training and encouragement does indeed help us to level up! Happy Christmas and new year.
Thank you for being here - wishing you so much success going into the new year!💜
Merry Christmas! 💚
@@studiomdesignsco thank you so much! You too!
This is an excellent video breaking down your time. I'm limited to evenings and weekend whenever I can open my laptop. As a beginner, who just started listing. I have a main goal for Jan 2025. Hopefully will looking at all the content you and others provide will help me create better listings for my store...again thanks for the info
I am delighted to get this knowledge from you. Mandy, I am so thankful to you for sharing all your ideas. I am at the start of my journey in POD and your video has cleared a lot of my mental clutter. Best Wishes to you. God Bless!!!
Dear Mandy, as the year comes to a close, I wanted to express my sincere gratitude for being an invaluable mentor throughout my Etsy journey. Since opening my shop on October 20, 2023, and implementing the techniques and advice you shared, I've experienced significant growth. Adding new listings and achieving 9 sales during Q4 as a new shop owner means the world to me. Your guidance, especially on time blocking has been instrumental in this progress. Your lessons have not only boosted my confidence but also shown me the potential for further achievements. I can't thank you enough for sharing your expertise and insights that have made a real impact on my Etsy venture.
Wishing you a Merry Christmas filled with joy and warmth. Thank you again for being the best inspiring mentor.
Thank you so much for sharing this - I appreciate you! I’m so excited for your journey and can’t wait to hear what 2024 brings for you. Cheering you on, and Merry Christmas! 💜🎄
Thank you very much, so glad I found your channel, I feel you are wishing a luck from your heart...
You’re the best, Mandy! Thank you SO much for being awesome, honest, and such a generous giver here in this space!❤
Thank you Mandy!! You are so much appreciate 🥰
I need to get messy with personalization!!! 🤪😝👍👍🤗❤️ Thanks Mandy!! 🔮
I’m doing this right now too! Learning curve number 5000 😂
YAAASS!! 🙌🏼 My biggest regret with POD is that I didn’t start with personalization sooner because I was nervous/ unsure about it at the time. Now that I do it all the time I hate that I waited as long as I did!
Jump in and get messy, you got this!! 💪🏼🤩
YES 2024 is gonna be my year! Thank you for everything you are doing on your channel. You are the Best Teacher for Etsy and POD .
YAAASSS!!!🔥 Cheering you on for 2024!!!!🥂🎉
These days, I'm more concerned about whether Etsy can function as a viable platform. If not, where I go from there.
amazing ideas, you have been an inspiration this year and cannot wait to see what you do in 2024 ❤❤
Love your grounded in experience and performance management style Mandy!
Hello Mandy! I am so glad I found your channel! I just saw a video similar to yours and they are both equally great because you both taget different topics that are definitely something to consider and plan for to see my shop succeed. Can’t wait to start implementing everything I’ve learned ❤🎉
Thank you for always giving examples and visuals!
Bravo to you. Can’t wait to get the book. I always enjoy your videos❤
Awesome video, Mandy. Can’t wait to see your new journal!!
🤩💜💜
I’m so thankful for you, Mandy! Your videos are so encouraging, and this one really got me feeling re-energized and determined to not give up.
You got this! 💪🏼 Keep going! 💜
Yay! Daily actions
Those daily actions add up! 🤩
You're awesome! All of your advice is sooo good. Thank you!
THANK YOU so much, Mandy, for all your wealth of knowledge!! I know we all appreciate how much you give us!! Quick Question: I currently have a shop geared towards bakers (tshirts, sweatshirts, tumblers, mugs...so far.). (I have a home bakery business). I am wondering if I should create a bunch of sub niche's there OR another shop that is more general with different niches within in that. (I am also a dance mom so I wouldn't mind working that in somewhere!). What do you think? Or is this something I can ask within your group to get feedback? THANKS!
Is your baker shop relatively new or is it starting to become established with regular sales? In most cases, I would focus there and build some subniches within it (homesteading could even be tied in, and "sourdough" designs are even a thing!). If it's new, growing multiple shops at the same time is quite an undertaking. And if it's established, you likely already have an identified audience and I would want you to maintain that momentum by continuing to expand. You could even connect it with other identities like moms + baking, grandmas + baking (and ChatGPT can come up with all sorts of funny phrases if you haven't tried that yet - possibly even for dance moms that also love to bake!?), home bakers, professional bakers, custom options for independent/small businesses (like yours), etc. You could look into POD aprons as well - the ones from Printify don't have pockets, so I would look into a place that has an option with pockets given your audience (Printiful and Printed Mint I believe both offer pocket options). Since it's something you already have a passion for, I think you could definitely carve out a segment of the market. Then once you get traction and have a solid foundation, that's the point where I then say someone is ready for another store if they want to explore additional concepts or different niche approaches :) Hopefully that makes sense - and yes, my group is also I place where I give direct feedback and also include shop reviews as one of the benefits :)
@@studiomdesignsco thank you so much for such a thorough response! I appreciate it so much as I've been spinning on this for a while. My shop is definitely new! I began it in time for a black friday bakers event of vendors. i am definitely planning to create niches within it (and may sneak in dance moms just for fun. :) Thanks again and I'll be looking into joining your group when I have some extra $ to pour into this. :) THANKS!
Hi Mandy! Can you recommend some of your favorite podcasts?
Yes! The Goal Digger with Jenna Kutcher, GaryVee, Motivation with Brendon Burchard, Habits and Hustle - even Printify's Printing Profits has some real gems from fellow sellers!
Thank you Mandy and happy new year!
Hey Mandy I have a question I just opened my shop about a week ago I have about 6 listings on my shop that took me absolutely HOURS AND HOURS to do and I feel like I have absolutely no idea what I’m doing what to make how to make it or combine elements to make it look good and just feel LOST do you have any advice for me? I’ve spent about 80$ on mock-ups and I’m definitely invested I just don’t know how to do it the right way I feel like I’ll watch a video think I understand and just stare off not knowing how to start 😅thanks!!!!
Check out my time-blocking series if you haven't already - it's a more in-depth view of working in batches and going through the full process from start to finish. It will feel slow and messy at first. That's totally normal. Identify your customer (if your not sure, take a peek at the Top Niches video in the 2024 playlist). From there, dive in and start researching. Don't start with a design - start with researching and niches, which will help inform your designs :)
Hi Mandy thank you for a great video. How many hours do you use in each time block?
Great question! It totally depends on the task and how much time I have available. Sometimes I may only have 30 minutes to work on something, and other times I might block a full hour or two (with breaks) to really focus, and when I’m blocking the time I’m working on my handmade business it’s based on how long I know certain batches of product take to make 😊
Will your planner work for handmade businesses or is it just for print on demand?
Absolutely! I have a handmade business as well and created the planner to be a tool for anyone with a product-based business (POD, handmade, digital, or otherwise!).
@@studiomdesignsco Thank you. I have tried twice to get your sample planner sheets, but I have not received anything. I’ve also checked my junk folder. Thank you for your help.
Do it messy. Do it afraid
How do I get your planner?
It’ll be available on soon, just waiting on the final draft publishing approval! You can sign up for the email to get notified along with a couple printable pages (and I’ll share it in the group too 😉)
@@studiomdesignsco okay I will be patient lol
How many designs do you must upload for Etsy to show your shop. I uploaded 5 and my shop doesn’t appear.
Your shop is visible once you open, but for listings to appear in searches there needs to be customers searching for items that you have. Pick one or two niches to start with and work on getting 15-20 listings in each so that you can then start to get data on which ones start to gain interest (based on visits and favorites in your shop stats).
@@studiomdesignsco Do you also have a youtube channel for your skincare business? I would certainly watch, and wish you would make videos about that too
Yaaaay! Can’t wait for your planner! 👏 📅 🎉
