Hi Shawna! Finally got to be here upon launch! I took off from work (Occupational Therapist) today and tomorrow to do Etsy; I’ve been watching your and Cassiy’s videos - to say that I’m overwhelmed is an understatement! I have so much ideas and so much that I wanna be able to do; sometimes it’s hard to start when my mind is all over the place wanting to do everything at once. Praying for a productive day today and tomorrow to get some quality listings out!🙏🏼 This video will definitely guide me to calm down and focus, one niche at a time. (OMG I’m still not calm!!!😩😭) Sometimes I wish I can just stay home everyday and do Etsy! It’s addicting..🥺 Thanks for this; as always, you’re awesome! 😘🤩🤗 P.S. Video idea: How to not get overwhelmed and structure creative time without getting all over the place especially this Q4 with SOOOOO much to design for..🤯🤯🤯
Whoo hoo Mitzie!!! I hope you get so much don today and I love love love this video idea! I think of this type of overwhelm as the good kind! More ideas than you know what to do with! Much better than feeling like there are no good ideas for you to add to the market place! Set times and just focus on one little design with in one little niche at a time! I usually just pick three niches to work in for the month and stay right there! I am wishing you so much productivity today!
Hi 👋 fellow OT here. I just try to do a few per day and before you know it you will have a full shop. Try not to do everything at once, that gets you nowhere.
Thanks for so many amazing ideas, Shawna! I was hemming and hawing about which niche to try next so this is perfect timing! Do you need to have free shipping over $35 when you have group listings? This is my first attempt at group listings but I currently don’t have free shipping over $35. Are people more likely to skip over your listing if you don’t offer this? Would love your input! Thanks so much for all you do! 💕🤗
Shawna, I just sent you a message but realized it was with my son's TH-cam account and not mine. My message was the one about wanting to be part of your new membership and I couldn't find the episodes where you talked about it. You said to message you if interested and you would give more information. You also mentioned that we could be grandfathered into the program. I always listen to your videos while driving so I couldn't respond right away. I can't remember how long ago you talked about it but I don't want to miss out. Thanks for all the wonderful information! You are one of my favorites (maybe because I am a teacher too).
Hey there! No worries! I am sending you the link so you can get an email with more info. Hope this helps! I am planning to launch it on August 1st:). stan.store/simplyshawna
AGREED! Over the past 8 months, I have watched 5 TH-cam mentor's videos (ALL their videos), and have come to the same conclusion...Shawna is the ONLY mentor anyone needs! 🥰
I missed another launch! Arrrg!! I had planned to be here for every one of them through the summer and I think I made 3! Thank you for all that you do!
Hey there Rose! I am so glad you enjoyed this one! I don't have a course but I do have a membership! Sending you a link in case you have an interest! www.skool.com/@dania-batiste-2301?g=learn-and-earn-academy-2334
Shawna, I love all your videos. I learn so much from them. I'd like to humbly return the favor. As a videographer, I can tell you your audio is way blown out. Do you have any control over the gain of that mic? Check the software you're using to record. Best of luck!
Hey there! Thanks so much! I can't seem to get the sound just right! Do you have any suggestions for me on a good mic? I have gone through three and can't seem to find one that does a good job!
Shawna the blue yeti mics are good and not too pricey. You can even get a yeti snowball and they aren’t that expensive. They plug into your computer if you’re recording from a webcam. If you are plugging a mic into your camera you can get a lavalier mic that will go on your shirt. Even one that’s like $20-30 bucks could help.
Shawna!!! Thank you!! I LOVE Tucker as Harry Potter 😂 that was my kids costume for world book day. Fab ideas, currently working on Halloween and loving it!’ Thank you for all the tips ❤
Hi Shawna, great video. I wonder if you can make a video regarding prices when using different currencies. I mean what is the set up for those that are non US based?
Hi Shawna. How do you best keep track of the niches and their spikes? I always feel I’m behind when I find a good keyword/niche to work for and then I feel like I’ll forget it when the time is right.
Hey there Brittany! I made a resource to help with this! I will send a link in case you are interested. I used erank, google trends, and experience to put it together so you could always use erank and google trends to create your own... experience will come with time! Hope this helps!
Hi Shawna, I'm using your Q4 resources, I really love it and truly appreciate the details you put together in it!! 🧡🧡🧡 I'm currently trying to prepare for the Q4 family matching shirts. Just wondering do you offer sizes for toddlers, kids, and also for adult children? Or are you targeting only families with young children, like toddlers or kids? Which one is more profitable(if it is ok to share ;p)? This is my first time listing family matching items on Etsy, so I'd appreciate some guidance from you. Thanks! :)
Hey there! SUUUUUUUCCHH a GOOOOOOOD question! Even when you think you are targeting small kids with your designs you will sell them to groups of adults... Siblings stay silly and playful even after they grow up! I will be addressing this comment in an upcoming video so I can go into it more fully without writing a book! Happy lisitng!
Hey there! I only offer between 1 and 6 colors most of the time and don't run into this issue to often! But when I do I reach out to the customer to suggest another color! Hope this helps!
@@shawnalynn2083Hi Shawna, thanks so much for getting back to me. I do the same but what I do experience that the PP runs out of certain colors frequently 😅 And unfortunately you cannot sync from Printify to Etsy without messing up a multi item listing. And adding it manually is not an option with so many listings. One particular color I stopped using now because it’s been out of stock for quite some time and they don’t know when it’s back again. I’m glad you don’t run into this often ❤ Have a great day
Hay there Katrina! I didn't! I have friend proof reading it for me and as soon as they are done I will send everyone the update! You should have it by this Wednesday:)
Hey Shawna! Would you please make a video explaining more in detail what you mean in this interview you did with Cassie, by saying 'working a design out'? Like your thought process on all of the iterations when you are going through that working out process with some examples. I really want to try to implement this in my shop, but I am not sure how. "Shawna's Journey To $1.5 Million In Sales On Etsy (Actionable Tips For New Sellers!)" I know you say your later iterations seem to do the best so just trying to get my head around this. TIA!
Love this idea for a video! I am putting it on my list!! Some of the videos in this playlist might help you out in the meantime th-cam.com/play/PLOcqCXlRVZXpp4yVt9mvYZh52mvB2LHQ1.html and the video coming out next week should also help as I worked out a few designs there! Hope this helps!
Shawna, a while back you mentioned that you were going to start a mentoring group and those of us that joined early on would be grandfathered in at a lower price. I have gone back through your videos but i can't seem to find the episodes where you talked about it. Am I too late or can you add me to your list of those interested?

Literally the only Etsy channel I need to watch. Thank you!
So glad you enjoyed this one Pinemountainfarm!
@@shawnalynn2083 you may have to start a separate channel on how to start a successful TH-cam channel! I posted one and only got 1 view lol

We missed you Jennifer! We always look for you! I hope you are enjoying your summer vacation so much!
Just opened my shop today to able to all your help with your awesome videos!! You are so fun and positive to listen to ❤
Yay! Thank you Holly! And a big big big CONGRATS on opening your shop! I can't wait to hear about your first sale!!!!
You’re amazing ! I’m still waiting for my first sale, but I’m not discouraged, hopefully I’ll have a great Q4! 😊
Whoo hoo! I can't wait to hear about your first sale!
I love how you explain. I wanted to know if you have your own course?

As always, thanks!
Thanks so much for enjoying the content Katrina!
Thank you for this video! Do you put watermarks on your listings?
