So glad I found your channel via midnight searches. Not even sure what led me to your page but happy for it. These tips are helpful. What I am planning is definitely profitable even during the pandemic but it is very saturated. Trying to make it unique is where I am at now and getting the keywords. Oh and I never thought of selling digital items even though I see them all over Etsy. Thank you
@@tailoredto2070 you're very welcome! It's totally okay to be in a saturated niche, but like you said, it's what makes you unique that will help you stand out from competitors :) eventually you will niche down as you get to know your audience and ideal customer more and more!
I Keep Watching Your Videos While Eating or having coffee in evenings. You are doing such great help...and became a great source of learning for me. God Bless You. ☺️
Hey Coco, I have been there sometimes we overthink it when the essential idea is to share who we are, share our story and know who we want to help. Let's connect
i am at this point right now, cannot decide exactly what to design (because of the fear that i will spend a lot of time working on them and they won't sell)
This is my third video I've watched on your channel just now. Thanks SO much for providing such informative videos, I can't wait to learn more stuff from you. :)
Your videos have been so helpful for me as I am looking into selling digital products. I am still having a hard time with my niche as I want to do EVERYTHING! Still deciding between custom digital posters, small business assistance (brand kits, letterheads, logos), and planners! Thank You so much for your advice!
Picking a niche is always the hardest part! You can always try a few options at once and see what picks up more than the others. Always explore in the beginning before you narrow down. Good luck! :)
Sandra. Thank you for this video. I have been struggling to niche down. I do embroidery but there’s so many items I can do for this category and I know I can’t do all. Trying to find an area to just focus on and making $ from it instead of trying to do everything under embroidery and get overwhelmed.
Hi, When i sell my digi product in etsy, asking credit card nimber for 0.20 usd. Pls clarify when the buying the product each time i have to give any charges.
Thank you for your sharing! I'm struggling in finding a niche. When I find a thing I like and I think I can do, I check on marmalead that it has little engagement. But I also see other people sell that kind of product on etsy. Should I go for it?
Hi! That's completely your call :) Marmalead is not the only tool that should be used during research. This video is also to help choose a niche in general for your business rather than only digital downloads on Etsy. It would be your message, topic, target audience, etc. - the clarity will help you on which direction you should go for and double down on. Hope that helps!
That's exactly it. It can feel scary but at the same time you can always change your direction. It's all about making the decision to take action and letting it evolve over time!
Thanks for watching Aurelius! I completely get it - as creative and multi-passionate entrepreneurs, it's so common to get stuck here. We just need to take action and keep moving forward and let our niche develop more and more with time :)
I’ve grown tired of fake ass you-tubers leading me up the garden path, however Sandra you are not one of these! I clearly have analysis paralysis and have lost my way always getting hung up on my niche and suffering shiny object syndrome. Just this one video here is a major eureka moment for me, the tools and tips you give alway are pure gold, I’ve looked and studied so many business models to use for my art including POD, but you explain it all here so simply, as well as ‘pivoting’ your business. I appreciate the way you break it down, I will be reading you ebook next. I CAN do this!! x
I love this Simon. And of course you can do this! Trust me I've been there many times and I don't think it's talked about enough - one of the biggest struggles we have as entrepreneurs is focusing on one idea and allowing it to grow. We normally don't give it enough time and attention because we get side tracked by all the other ideas we have. So glad you're having the eureka moment you needed! :)
Niching down is a scary thing to do! It's like the unknown, but funny how doing it actually has the opposite effect. Go small to go big! Thanks for sharing these tips on finding your niche Sandra! -XO BlogginBrandi
Wonderful video! I always love screen shares and tutorials! Niching down took me a while but once I did it, I helped so many more people (and made a ton more money)!
Sandra amazing info! So true... how we "stray" away when the shiny objects appear and we lean in the direction... love your LIST of ideas we would love to do and actually good at.. great starting point. You have a new subscriber!!
So glad you liked this Colleen! Shiny object syndrome is one of our worst enemies as entrepreneurs lol it slows us down and takes our focus away. These steps helped me get clear on a starting point, and it eventually pivots and becomes more clear with time :)
This is so common and totally normal! Don't stress too much and just take action. Whatever feels right, go forward with it because you can ALWAYS pivot if you need to :)
@@SandraDi 🤣 what a relief! At least I'm not going crazy! I'm feeling pretty confident with writing and stuff like that, my SEO is pretty good as well but I'm still not gaining subscribers. It feels like that is my biggest struggle. 😭
Thank you so much, Sandra, for this. I'm learning a lot from you through your videos. It is like going to a Business and Marketing class, only that you make it more interesting in bite-sized sessions 😊
Hi Sandra. I'm still working on what my niche is. I've done some wall art, but now I'm trying certain things like recipe printables and things like that. I was wondering. With the wall art, we can us a mock to make the photo big enough for etsy. But how do you do it with printable pages that don't really work will in a mock. I tried to put a photo onto etsy and it was saying it wasn't big enough. Are there certain mocks that will work for printable pages like recipes or meal planning like there are for wall art? I've been spending a good part of my morning today trying to figure out how to do the 1500 X 2000 pixel with the pages and they don't look right. It's like they need to be put into a mock like I do with the wall art. Is there a way to do that where it would look right? Thanks so much.
Hi Vickie. I am not exactly sure what you mean but what I would say is make sure it's at least 1500 px for both width and height of your image. It's a little difficult to understand without an example so again you can message me on instagram with an example or an image to show me
Sandra you are such a lovely small biz coach, your advice is helpful your personality is so lovable and sincere, and I am so glad I found your channel. As a 57-year-old recently retired flight attendant who used to be a graphic designer and web designer content creator back in the 90s when DIY websites were unthinkable, getting back to what I love and am good at, your channel has been so helpful and informative like coffee with a good friend who cares. Thank you!
Hi Brett! I really enjoyed reading your message. It was so sweet and made me smile. Thank you for your kind words and I'm so happy to hear that this was informative. I'm very excited for you knowing that you are getting back into what you love! I look forward to seeing what you come up with :)!!
Hi there! You just have to go on Adobe's website to download it :) You can try this link: www.adobe.com/ca/products/illustrator/free-trial-download.html
Hi! I would do research specifically where you are located to see if you need one. Technically you don't need to get a business license to start selling on Etsy but I would recommend it especially if you plan on growing a full business online :)
Very useful information. I'm on the road to focusing on graphic design (I love canva but I also want to get into affinity publisher to design e-books). I always enjoyed designing graphics for friends on their social media, so why not make it my niche. Your content gives me more clarity and confidence. I still need to improve my customer acquisition, but that's all ahead of me. You are doing a great job - thanks for that 👏
This is amazing! The fact that you are already slowly niching down based on your experience and what you have realized that you truly enjoy is perfect. Keep going and it will become even more and more clear with time :)
This makes so much sense! My TH-cam analytics are definitely helping me to figure out my niche, obviously book related:). Your tips & suggestions are helping me do this even further. I always learn so much from your videos, thank you!
Hi Suzanne! That's awesome! Definitely double down on what's working because that just shows you what people love on your channel and what they want more of :) so glad this was helpful!
Wow once again it becoming clearer for me. My mind was way up in the sky. Just feeling totally huh.lol I am really excited little nervous. The lingo I still have to figure out. Thank you so much again. You are so kind to this for me and of course others. Thank you. Hugs
I always learn so much from you... You are perfect.... Thank you for you guide... But these days my account is not shown when I search. I can log in to the account. But the views and visits are very low. If you can help me fix it, it's a big help to me. 😢😢😢
I am really unsure what to do with mine. What I want to do is small gifts for any occasion. I don't really want to niche down more than that but I know that my target market and those I sell to tend to be both women and men from 20 - 45ish. Is this niche enough or should I be trying to just select a particular event such as weddings or new babies? It's really tricky! X
Hi Jenna! You don't have to niche down further if you are already getting a lot of clients from all types of events. I started off as a wedding stationary artist but I also had a lot of clients asking for stationery for their baptisms, birthdays, bridal showers, etc. That's totally fine! :)
This is very helpful. I graduated as an Interior Designer. Got a job as an Interior Designer and I wasn't really enjoying it, but I love designing too. So, after months and months of research on how to get passive income and working at the comfort of my home, as I am a single mom, I came across your videos and I am encouraged to do digital products to sell on Etsy. I will watch more of your videos for tips in order to prepare myself to open my very first Etsy shop. Wish me the best! And thank you for such informative videos! Keep making more videos in the future. God bless!
Do you feel art prints is too big of a niche and you'd go with specifically themed art prints? Such as an Etsy shop with only Nautical themed art, or coffee lover themed, inspirational quotes, floral watercolor, etc?
Absolutely. Art prints is very broad and it would be very competitive if you don't niche down further. The examples you gave are perfect. I personally sell "boss lady" wall art but I include many styles like inspirational, watercolor, coffee prints, etc. It's all about serving the same target audience. I hope that makes sense!
@@SandraDi Ah, okay, if I'm understanding your target audience is the same and the items you do all direct towards them, but that also gives you a little flexibility as terms of 'theming' your art?
Ha definitely shiny object syndrome. I am a maker. I love learning and trying new things. Thats my problem. I decided a few months ago that I needed to switch to digital downloads but that would be easier for me at the moment. Single working mom here. I am also a perfectionist. Watching your videos has def helped me! I get stuck in procrasti-learning and not actually getting things done ! I would eventually love to actually make money online and be able to show other single moms they can too. But first I need to get there ! Loving your channel :)
Hi Angela!! You are not alone - I suffer with shiny object syndrome sometimes still!! lol Taking little action every day will help you get to where you want to go :) We tend to overthink everything and scare ourselves into not taking any action at all. Baby steps every day will help you get clarity, even if it means you have to pivot or change your niche down the road!
Thanks Sandra for the video! I have a question, I want to create a blog for small business with advice for social and blogging.. in your opinion, does it make sense to design the site that reflects my tastes? for example, I like very elegant design but now people are used to seeing sites with stronger colors ...what do you think? Thanks :)
Hi! I wouldn't get too caught up in the branding because that can always change :) Start with what represents YOU because that will help you differentiate from everyone else. Good luck!!
Hi Sandra ! Finding niche is so complicated. I have some questions about it. If I choose my niche is design a tee-shirt, let's say camping is the niche. Do I have to make only camping design on my shop or I can do random design tee-shirt? I found some nice research tool that is paid but I am confused if I find the niche why do I have to pay monthly subscription fee. Please advise me. Thanks 😊
Hi there! Yes picking a niche can be the most complicated part of your business! I struggle with it too. Think of you niche more so of WHO you are serving. If camping is your niche, then you can sell multiple products that have to do with camping. Not just camping t-shirts if that makes sense. You can totally branch out and create some more types of t-shirts as well to test out the market and see what's more popular :)
How did you narrow down your target audience? By the way, I am in school for Digital communications-PR and you have explained things better than some of my professors!
Hi Kandice! Haha that's amazing to hear thank you!! My target audience only narrowed down when I gained more experience. Your target audience or "ideal client" may start broad. When you work with more clients or reach more people, it will make more sense who you are attracting. It becomes more and more clear with action and time. Does that make sense?
Thank you for watching! Let me know if these tips help you find your niche! Share your niche ideas with me :)

Definately something I have been struggling with and so glad I found this video.
Ah this video is SO needed and will help many!! Thanks Sandra!!

Market research is key. Thanks
Absolutely. No problem!
I love that you correctly pronounce niche, drives me nuts when they say nitch.
Haha same here! lol
omg find a niche is so complicated, when i was finding mine i was so overwhelm because i could never stick with anything.
Hey Coco, I have been there sometimes we overthink it when the essential idea is to share who we are, share our story and know who we want to help. Let's connect
I know exactly how that feels! I was in the same boat. It's okay to change our decision as we go further into our business. Thanks for watching! :)

A video tutorial on how to get your etsy shop started?
Hi,
When i sell my digi product in etsy, asking credit card nimber for 0.20 usd. Pls clarify when the buying the product each time i have to give any charges.

Ha definitely shiny object syndrome. I am a maker. I love learning and trying new things. Thats my problem. I decided a few months ago that I needed to switch to digital downloads but that would be easier for me at the moment. Single working mom here. I am also a perfectionist. Watching your videos has def helped me! I get stuck in procrasti-learning and not actually getting things done ! I would eventually love to actually make money online and be able to show other single moms they can too. But first I need to get there ! Loving your channel :)
Hi Angela!! You are not alone - I suffer with shiny object syndrome sometimes still!! lol Taking little action every day will help you get to where you want to go :) We tend to overthink everything and scare ourselves into not taking any action at all. Baby steps every day will help you get clarity, even if it means you have to pivot or change your niche down the road!
Thanks Sandra for the video! I have a question, I want to create a blog for small business with advice for social and blogging.. in your opinion, does it make sense to design the site that reflects my tastes? for example, I like very elegant design but now people are used to seeing sites with stronger colors ...what do you think? Thanks :)
Hi! I wouldn't get too caught up in the branding because that can always change :) Start with what represents YOU because that will help you differentiate from everyone else. Good luck!!
Sandra, these tips are AMAZING! I love you already! Haha
Hahaha yayy!! I'm so glad this was helpful Trisha!
Thank you this was so helpful and motivating

Thanks Sandra, you're always very clear and concise. It's the little things you say that resonate with me and help me out :)
That's awesome to hear! So glad this was helpful! :)
Just opened my etsy shop wreathpurpose, thank for the tips I will definitely try them.
No problem!
Hands down best advice! Thank you!
You're very welcome!
Hi Sandra ! Finding niche is so complicated. I have some questions about it. If I choose my niche is design a tee-shirt, let's say camping is the niche. Do I have to make only camping design on my shop or I can do random design tee-shirt? I found some nice research tool that is paid but I am confused if I find the niche why do I have to pay monthly subscription fee. Please advise me.
Thanks 😊
Hi there! Yes picking a niche can be the most complicated part of your business! I struggle with it too. Think of you niche more so of WHO you are serving. If camping is your niche, then you can sell multiple products that have to do with camping. Not just camping t-shirts if that makes sense. You can totally branch out and create some more types of t-shirts as well to test out the market and see what's more popular :)

Great Suggestions !!
I'm glad this was helpful! :)
How did you narrow down your target audience? By the way, I am in school for Digital communications-PR and you have explained things better than some of my professors!
Hi Kandice! Haha that's amazing to hear thank you!! My target audience only narrowed down when I gained more experience. Your target audience or "ideal client" may start broad. When you work with more clients or reach more people, it will make more sense who you are attracting. It becomes more and more clear with action and time. Does that make sense?
@@SandraDi yes! Thank you so much for replying.
