Another great video! I would love to see one that goes over your Etsy account. I've had my Etsy account for about a month, and I'd love a 'once-over' video to make sure I'm utilizing all the right features. I'd also appreciate a step-by-step tutorial on shipping with Printful to ensure I'm choosing the right, cheapest, and best shipping options. Thanks for being awesome!
Been watching tons of Pinterest video for POD, and finally found one that make so much sense and straightforward. Thank you so much for sharing to help and empower us beginners.
I'm still in the dark😢 I have no idea how to connect my creations to etsy or pibestrest. Is there anything even more elementary I can learn from? These words Pins and boards are Greek to me. Can anyone direct me? I'll be so extremely grateful!
Your entire youtube account has been my bible on how to navigate the world of Canva, Printify and Etsy. Thank you so much for making it simple for newbies like me! :)
I’ve been having Pinterest for 10 years, but never uploaded my own pins. I was wanting to utilize Pinterest to advertise my listings but had no clue how to do so. This really helped me! Your tutorials are the best! Thank you! I’m so excited to see success!
Cassiy, Thank You. I too have been intimidated by the whole Pinterest thing. Looked for tutorials that would help, but they all seemed to think that I "totally got it", well I didn't, so was totally confused. This helped greatly to get me started. And, your teaching style is really wonderful. None of this, "I've succeeded attitude. Really, you don't get this?" Continue what you're doing, and keep it Real. Great channel!
Wow Margie these comments really mean so much to me! I really enjoy showing the tiny step by step instructions because I know when I started I felt like there was a lot missing, I am so glad I can help fill that gap! Really appreciate your support
I just feel overwhelmed on Pinterest. I have a Etsy shop on Florida Inspired Digital Art. I just wish it wasn't so confusing. I did get value from your video.
A gal on tik tok recommended your videos, that's how I found your channel. Great and easy to follow video, I hope to grow my listings and get my first sale, thanks again!
Cassiy - Thank You! This video saved me hours of trying to figure out how to use Pinterest to help boost my Etsy traffic. I really appreciate the great training and advice you provide.
Another great video - I was really struggling with trying to figure out how post my Etsy shop items on Pinterest without my head exploding and this video was like magic - so simple and easy to understand - and I am now pinning away. Thank you!
I just found this video, and it was so helpful! My Etsy shop is in the home decor niche, and I've known for a while that I needed to promote on Pinterest but was struggling to figure it out. Thank you so much, Cassiy! You explained how really well, and it was so simple to follow along!
Thank you so much for all the great information you give. It was so easy to pin my products on Pinterest and I got carried away and got deactivated. LOL! (From now on I'll just pin a few a day.) I haven't sold anything on Etsy yet (I just started) but after I added an item on Pinterest, I saw that someone saved it as a favorite. Thanks for all the encouragement. I'm so glad I found you on here. :)

WOW I really appreciate you saying that!! We are going to get on making some new ones soon, really appreciate the support for both my channel and my mock store
this woman is the queen. Cassiy-I've literally been using your guidance to start my own shop. thank you so much for sharing everything. You are a great speaker, informative and these videos are the perfect pace.
I can not Thank You enough for this video. You made it so clear to understand. I am proud to be your newest subscriber!!! I love all your videos. THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH👏👏👏
Thank you so much! I really enjoy your videos and you don't talk so fast most people go so fast it is hard for a newbie like myself. I have been in corporate america 35 years so thankfully I can get around in the internet and different platforms. I am giving this a go and hopefully this Esty business will be for me. I have put several months into just watching videos and creating, I really appreciate your time to make this.
Thank you so much. As already mentioned in other comments, I also had too much respect for Pinterest (omg it takes me weeks to understand it). You have taken away my worries with your video. Thumbs up. 👍
So glad I could simplify it for everyone! You definitely can get a lot more in depth with it but I think for beginners, this is the perfect place to start
Thanks so much Cassiy, This is exactly what I needed today! I'm getting a lot from your tutorials and appreciate that you detail the steps to accomplish a task. I am just getting a few listings up and now trying to refine them. Thanks for your help as always.
I am so so glad that my videos have been helpful for you Trudy! I really appreciate your support and comments on my channel, they really help me grow so much!
Thank you Cassiy, I love your channel! You are so helpful, I've been wanting to know how to do for a while now, but I over think it and put it off. I know I said this already, but I'm so happy you started a channel!!!
Thank you, Cassiy. I recently began using Pinterst to promote my podcast. Now I want to create an Etsy story so this info will be great once I get the story opened and on its way. And I didn't know you could add a Chrome extension!
I would love a video on Tips For Creating Unique Designs People will love! Thank you for this Pinterest video, I made a business Pinterest account and had no idea on some of the tips you gave! It's going to be so helpful 🙏
Cassiy, thank you for making these videos to share the knowledge and your experience. I always find your content easy to follow for my own Etsy shop. Do you have a video to show how to promote Etsy shop on TH-cam . Thank you!
Thank you for this video!!! Again, I love your content!!! I would like to see how you design on Canva and how you choose best mockups and how you list them, how many colours for listing, how you make a perfect listing
An important tip that isn't mentioned in the video is to click on your item in your etsy shop to expand the image and make the image quality better, otherwise if you just click save on the small pictures in your shop dashboard the resolution will be poor. Learned this the hard way.
Cassiy, I can't thank you enough for thank you enough for all of your tutorials. I just watch this Pinterst tutorial, set up my business Pinterest, made boards and added my pins. With in 48 hours I have noticed a vast improvement in my views and sales on Etsy and another POD platform I use. I have a question, is there any way to have my Pinterest pin go directly to that particular listing on Etsy? I noticed when a buyer clicks one the product in Pinterest it takes them to my Etsy shops main page and the buyer will have to scroll my listing to find that particular item.
Thank you so much for another awesome video. I love how you go into the steps on your suggestions not just simply mentioned the idea 💡👍 so grateful for the details.
I know these are the types of videos I wish I had when I first started so I am really grateful that everyone is enjoying them. Thank you so much for supporting me new little channel, it really means a lot to me
Cassiy, Thank you so much for this information. New subscriber here. Straight to the point I was able to pause and follow your steps. I will be looking at more of your videos and here's to growing my business. 😊
Hi Cassiy, just watched this video for a second time. i always find your videos very helpful. i really want to learn how to use pinterest better. there are lots of videos that say use pinterest and find group boards and join them. which is all well and good, but I'm struggling to find videos that actually show you how...how to find group boards, how to join them and use them etc, are you doing anymore videos on interest? I'm hoping you will because you seem to explain things much better than others. also I'm finding that the videos that i have watched about it they speak too fast its hard to absorb what they are saying. thank you as alawys
Hi Amy! I am really glad my videos have been able to help you, I really try to show things nice step by step so they are easy to understand. I honestly don't do anything more with my Pinterest than what I showed in this video. It's a good thing to use as a tool but I don't go really crazy with Pinterest. Pinterest should be more like the fuel on the fire, not the fire starter if that makes sense. So if you aren't getting sales right now, instead your time is better spent finding better niches, making better designs, buying better mock-ups etc.
Oh! and Mockup Tips video! I have trouble worrying about how many mockups I should have in a listing, times where it's better to use a model mockup or flat lay for the main photo, if each version of the mockups should be included in one listing. Any tips to help make your listings look more attractive to your customers❤️
My video coming out tomorrow, I go over the full listing process from start to finish and go over mockups as well! Hope it answers all your questions but let me know if you want a specific video just on mocks
I’d say 10-15 per day would be the max but in the beginning if you just opened your account, then I’d do like 5 a day so they don’t think you are a bot and close your account. But if your account does get open, don’t worry you can email them and they will open it again for you!
Hey Cassiy! 👋 another great video as always! Question about your pinterest boards, do you recommend pinning other pins and ideas related to the niche to your different boards or do you just create boards with just your various products for sale? Also, just wanted to share I've made my first 3 organic sales and I'm super excited!! You have been a major help and source of knowledge for me on this journey, truly grateful 🙏🏽 🥰
I am so glad my videos have helped you Amanda!! Since you are just starting our, I’d really recommend only posting your own items for now. A better use of your time is finding new niches and making new designs, then once you start getting some successful listings and are making sales, then I’d focus on marketing those ones to pour more fuel on the fire!
Hi Cassiy thank you so much for your video you talk at a lovely calm pace and straight to the information. I already have a business account that has lots of boards that are not related to what I sell would it be best if I open a personal account and slowly pin my personal stuff onto that as i really do want to keep them , and then concentrate on boards relevant to my Etsy shop only. Or should i scrap the whole lot and start again ?
Hi and thanks for that good information. I'm new to Pinterest and still learning. I found a Group Board for my Etsy business that I joined. However, I'm having trouble trying to figure out how to actually post my pins onto it. Can you do a short tutorial on how to pin on the Group Boards? Thanks so much.
You just pin to it like any other board, when you click post pin then all your boards will come up as options and the group board you joined should show up as well.
Loved this video! Question: what % would you say Pinterest drives sales for your Etsy shop and do you utilize Pinterest in other ways separate from your Etsy shop?
Great questions Sabrina! I wish that Etsy showed you these types of analytics but they don't. I can see how many people have come to my shop from Pinterest, but it doesn't tell me how many people actually purchased. In the last 30 days I have had about 80 people actually come to my shop from my Pinterest Account. So definitely not my main source of income but I don't put almost any effort into it other than just adding it to a board from my Etsy shop page. I rely pretty much solely on Etsy SEO to bring me sales, but in time I'm hoping to get more organic traffic as well as I am considering starting my own website soon as well and want to know how to drive traffic to it!
Great info Cassiy!! I love how you present. You seem so real and helpful. I am beginning to pin my items on pinterest and this was so helpful. I too got deactivated for too many pins. I researched it and found that it is around 40 pins but I don't even have 40 pins yet. 🤷♀ Do you know if repins have the same limitations? I am being very cautious now. Keep on posting great information. You are amazing and such an inspiration. Have I missed a video on "Rich Pins"? If I have not, could you do a video on that? Thanks again!!!! Looking forward to more of your great information.
I just watched this video, and began pinning items from my Etsy shop. I was just deactivated by Pinterest at 20 pins, so I guess that must be the limit maybe.
Thank you Cassiy for the great videos! I see a lot of videos about growing an email subscriber list. I know it's beneficial to a business but is this something that's necessary? Do you do this for your business....if so, what recommendations do you have for growing an email list? Also, any other social media platforms you use other than Pinterest?
Hey! I’ve came across your videos and I’m hooked!! I already have an Etsy shop selling salon signs .. if I wanted to add POD products like Tunics, T-shirts, mugs etc should I add them to my existing shop or set a separate one up? :) x
At 4:53 you claim that the Etsy title is automatically used for the Pinterest pin title, but how does this deal with the discrepancy in max characters, Etsy 140 vs Pinterest 100?
This was really great. Your videos are extremely informative. The only thing I am confused about is what if I have Etsy, Ebay, and Shopify. Am I only doing Etsy to Pinterest or can I do all three stores?
Cassie, I have loved watching many of your videos. I have been working on making new designs in canva, but I just don't feel confident enough to post them to my etsy store yet. How did you get the courage to start your business from scratch?
Your first designs aren't going to be your best ones, you just have to jump in and try! This is a business of testing things until you find what works. I love the old saying "progress over perfection". You just have to focus on your "why". What does having a successful Etsy business mean to you, how can it change your life? Won't it be worth it? Do yourself a favor and just jump right in! I'd also recommend doing some self improvement as well, because you are never going to get over your imposter syndrome on your own! Some good books to read would be "Unfuck Yourself" "The Subtle Are Of Not Giving A Fuck" and "The Magic Of Thinking Big". These books and others have given me the right mindset to run a successful business and to live a happier life
I really just recommend doing it this quick and easy way. If you ever get some super good sellers on Etsy, that's the only time it might be worth promoting it more on Pinterest with the vertical pins. But sometimes my pins will get 1000's of resins and likes on Pinterest but literally never sell once. So Pinterest is not something I spend almost any time on. The best part about Etsy is that it brings you tons of free organic traffic! So I'd focus more on that part of it instead as the big focus!
Hi Cassiy! Thank you for your video :) I'm just starting on Pinterest, so still confused as to how to use Pinterest. I created a business account. But I have two completely different shops on Etsy, so do I create two different Pinterest accounts for each shop, or do I create different boards, or how doest that work? Also, in one of my shops, I sell printable junk journal pages and kits and in my other shop I sell printable greeting cards, party favors and wall art. Should that all be in one Pinterest account or two different ones? And my second question is about "TAGGED TOPICS" on Pinterest: When I use the Pinterest Pin Button extension (Google Chrome), to pin my one of my Esty listings, does it add my Etsy keywords to my Pinterest pin "tagged keywords"? or is it better to go directly to Pinterest and pin from there (filling out the keywords and link and title and description)? Or should I just not worry about those "tagged topics" on Pinterest? (also, why doesn't it let me edit my tagged topics even on my created pins?) I'm new to Pinterest. Thank you in advance!!
Thanks so much for all your efforts to help those of us using Pinterest as a marketing tool for the first time. When you were discussing Tailwind, you said that I'd send along "my SEO" to the service. I know that SEO is the optimization part of Etsy's search engine, but I didn’t know it had anything to do with my shop or myself specifically. Can you expand a bit?
Thanks for your video, my problem is that by saving a product using your way. The pin on pinterest doesn't redirect my product to my etsy shop but to ETSY in general!!
Great video, thank you for the info! I always avoided social media because it seemed like a lot of work, but that doesn't seem so bad! How many hours a week would you say you spend doing Pinterest?
So glad you found this info helpful! Pinterest doesn't have to be a lot of work, I spend maybe 2 minutes per day on it most times and have grown my Pinterest views to over 20k views per month on Pinterest with this very simple method!
@@BeautifulSam I post some of my designs to instagram as well! Etsy makes this very easy by using their Social Media tab under marketing. You can easily share your most recent listing, a recent great review etc so that it doesn't take up much of your time either! Sometimes I post in niche specific Facebook groups as well to promote my listings but I typically only focus on that for holiday designs.
Hi Cassiy. As a completely new user to Pinterest I have one question about a detail you provide in your video. At time frame 4:15 you are creating a board with the title, "Christmas 3001 Mock ups". I failed to understand the purpose for the number "3001". Could you please elaborate what the number is for? Thank you.
In that example, the "3001" is the model number for the shirt that is in the photo, it is a Bella canvas 3001. So you would just title it whatever makes sense for your product.
Thanks for the video! Question I followed your instructions and pinned from my opened Etsy listing but it doesn’t show the description or price in Pinterest. Do you know why that might happen?
Wish I had seen this a month ago...I just paid for a course and she doesn't go into detail at all...no clear step by step instructions 🙄. Thank you so much for this video...it has cleared up alot of confusion!

Pinterest should be more like the fuel on the fire, not the fire starter if that makes sense. So if you aren't getting sales right now, instead your time is better spent finding better niches, making better designs, buying better mock-ups etc.
new subscriber here. thank you for another informative video. looking forward for more :)
Really thank you for subscribing May, the support really means the world to me new little channel
your video was great! thank you!
Oh! and Mockup Tips video! I have trouble worrying about how many mockups I should have in a listing, times where it's better to use a model mockup or flat lay for the main photo, if each version of the mockups should be included in one listing. Any tips to help make your listings look more attractive to your customers❤️
I'd be happy to make a video like that for you!! Thank you for being my biggest fan :)
@@CassiyJohnsonyes always 😊
My video coming out tomorrow, I go over the full listing process from start to finish and go over mockups as well! Hope it answers all your questions but let me know if you want a specific video just on mocks
@@CassiyJohnson Yes! Can't wait! Thank you!
you video was extremely helpful
thank you for making this
You are so welcome, I am so glad you found this helpful!!
Hi..love the channel . what size should my etsy listing pics be so that when i pin them to pinterest they are already optimized???
thank you for sharing great information! so how many pins a day would you say would be ideal?
I’d say 10-15 per day would be the max but in the beginning if you just opened your account, then I’d do like 5 a day so they don’t think you are a bot and close your account. But if your account does get open, don’t worry you can email them and they will open it again for you!
Hey Cassiy! 👋 another great video as always! Question about your pinterest boards, do you recommend pinning other pins and ideas related to the niche to your different boards or do you just create boards with just your various products for sale? Also, just wanted to share I've made my first 3 organic sales and I'm super excited!! You have been a major help and source of knowledge for me on this journey, truly grateful 🙏🏽 🥰
I am so glad my videos have helped you Amanda!! Since you are just starting our, I’d really recommend only posting your own items for now. A better use of your time is finding new niches and making new designs, then once you start getting some successful listings and are making sales, then I’d focus on marketing those ones to pour more fuel on the fire!
@@CassiyJohnson Awesome thank you so much!! 😊
Hi Cassiy thank you so much for your video you talk at a lovely calm pace and straight to the information. I already have a business account that has lots of boards that are not related to what I sell would it be best if I open a personal account and slowly pin my personal stuff onto that as i really do want to keep them , and then concentrate on boards relevant to my Etsy shop only. Or should i scrap the whole lot and start again ?
Hi and thanks for that good information. I'm new to Pinterest and still learning. I found a Group Board for my Etsy business that I joined. However, I'm having trouble trying to figure out how to actually post my pins onto it. Can you do a short tutorial on how to pin on the Group Boards? Thanks so much.
You just pin to it like any other board, when you click post pin then all your boards will come up as options and the group board you joined should show up as well.
Would love how to market my POD shop? What content to make other than just posting my product. Starting to sell hoodies/ tees
Thanks so much
Loved this video! Question: what % would you say Pinterest drives sales for your Etsy shop and do you utilize Pinterest in other ways separate from your Etsy shop?
Great questions Sabrina! I wish that Etsy showed you these types of analytics but they don't. I can see how many people have come to my shop from Pinterest, but it doesn't tell me how many people actually purchased. In the last 30 days I have had about 80 people actually come to my shop from my Pinterest Account.
So definitely not my main source of income but I don't put almost any effort into it other than just adding it to a board from my Etsy shop page. I rely pretty much solely on Etsy SEO to bring me sales, but in time I'm hoping to get more organic traffic as well as I am considering starting my own website soon as well and want to know how to drive traffic to it!
Mrs Johnson you rock🎉 have You had success with facebook groups?
Thanks! Why you can't add directly from your store and need to open each listing?
Great info Cassiy!! I love how you present. You seem so real and helpful. I am beginning to pin my items on pinterest and this was so helpful. I too got deactivated for too many pins. I researched it and found that it is around 40 pins but I don't even have 40 pins yet. 🤷♀ Do you know if repins have the same limitations? I am being very cautious now. Keep on posting great information. You are amazing and such an inspiration. Have I missed a video on "Rich Pins"? If I have not, could you do a video on that? Thanks again!!!! Looking forward to more of your great information.
So glad you found it helpful
I just watched this video, and began pinning items from my Etsy shop. I was just deactivated by Pinterest at 20 pins, so I guess that must be the limit maybe.
Thank you Cassiy for the great videos! I see a lot of videos about growing an email subscriber list. I know it's beneficial to a business but is this something that's necessary? Do you do this for your business....if so, what recommendations do you have for growing an email list? Also, any other social media platforms you use other than Pinterest?
Hey! I’ve came across your videos and I’m hooked!! I already have an Etsy shop selling salon signs .. if I wanted to add POD products like Tunics, T-shirts, mugs etc should I add them to my existing shop or set a separate one up? :) x
At 4:53 you claim that the Etsy title is automatically used for the Pinterest pin title, but how does this deal with the discrepancy in max characters, Etsy 140 vs Pinterest 100?
This was really great. Your videos are extremely informative. The only thing I am confused about is what if I have Etsy, Ebay, and Shopify. Am I only doing Etsy to Pinterest or can I do all three stores?
Cassie, I have loved watching many of your videos. I have been working on making new designs in canva, but I just don't feel confident enough to post them to my etsy store yet. How did you get the courage to start your business from scratch?
Your first designs aren't going to be your best ones, you just have to jump in and try! This is a business of testing things until you find what works. I love the old saying "progress over perfection". You just have to focus on your "why". What does having a successful Etsy business mean to you, how can it change your life? Won't it be worth it? Do yourself a favor and just jump right in!
I'd also recommend doing some self improvement as well, because you are never going to get over your imposter syndrome on your own! Some good books to read would be "Unfuck Yourself" "The Subtle Are Of Not Giving A Fuck" and "The Magic Of Thinking Big". These books and others have given me the right mindset to run a successful business and to live a happier life
Another great video! Does it matter to post the default square pins or is it better to take the time to create the rectangular vertical ones?
I really just recommend doing it this quick and easy way. If you ever get some super good sellers on Etsy, that's the only time it might be worth promoting it more on Pinterest with the vertical pins. But sometimes my pins will get 1000's of resins and likes on Pinterest but literally never sell once. So Pinterest is not something I spend almost any time on.
The best part about Etsy is that it brings you tons of free organic traffic! So I'd focus more on that part of it instead as the big focus!
Thank you so much for your response. So very grateful.
Hi Cassiy! Thank you for your video :) I'm just starting on Pinterest, so still confused as to how to use Pinterest. I created a business account. But I have two completely different shops on Etsy, so do I create two different Pinterest accounts for each shop, or do I create different boards, or how doest that work? Also, in one of my shops, I sell printable junk journal pages and kits and in my other shop I sell printable greeting cards, party favors and wall art. Should that all be in one Pinterest account or two different ones?
And my second question is about "TAGGED TOPICS" on Pinterest: When I use the Pinterest Pin Button extension (Google Chrome), to pin my one of my Esty listings, does it add my Etsy keywords to my Pinterest pin "tagged keywords"? or is it better to go directly to Pinterest and pin from there (filling out the keywords and link and title and description)? Or should I just not worry about those "tagged topics" on Pinterest? (also, why doesn't it let me edit my tagged topics even on my created pins?) I'm new to Pinterest. Thank you in advance!!
Thanks so much for all your efforts to help those of us using Pinterest as a marketing tool for the first time. When you were discussing Tailwind, you said that I'd send along "my SEO" to the service. I know that SEO is the optimization part of Etsy's search engine, but I didn’t know it had anything to do with my shop or myself specifically. Can you expand a bit?
You mentioned Chrome extension, will this work with Safari? I haven't used Pinterest for marketing before. Thanks
No this method only works in chrome because I am showing the chrome extension that Pinterest has!
Thanks for your video, my problem is that by saving a product using your way. The pin on pinterest doesn't redirect my product to my etsy shop but to ETSY in general!!
Thank you for your tutorials! It is very helpful! May I know if pinterest ads is free or we'll be charged based on clicks?
How do you do this now with the share and save program?
Will this work for promoting a shop that's not on etsy?
Great video, thank you for the info! I always avoided social media because it seemed like a lot of work, but that doesn't seem so bad! How many hours a week would you say you spend doing Pinterest?
So glad you found this info helpful! Pinterest doesn't have to be a lot of work, I spend maybe 2 minutes per day on it most times and have grown my Pinterest views to over 20k views per month on Pinterest with this very simple method!
@@CassiyJohnson that is amazing, thank you! Do you use any other social media?
@@BeautifulSam I post some of my designs to instagram as well! Etsy makes this very easy by using their Social Media tab under marketing. You can easily share your most recent listing, a recent great review etc so that it doesn't take up much of your time either!
Sometimes I post in niche specific Facebook groups as well to promote my listings but I typically only focus on that for holiday designs.
@@CassiyJohnson oh wow I had no idea about Instagram and will have to try that! Thanks!
Hi Cassiy. As a completely new user to Pinterest I have one question about a detail you provide in your video. At time frame 4:15 you are creating a board with the title, "Christmas 3001 Mock ups". I failed to understand the purpose for the number "3001". Could you please elaborate what the number is for? Thank you.
In that example, the "3001" is the model number for the shirt that is in the photo, it is a Bella canvas 3001. So you would just title it whatever makes sense for your product.
@@CassiyJohnson Thank you. Much appreciated.
Thanks for the video! Question I followed your instructions and pinned from my opened Etsy listing but it doesn’t show the description or price in Pinterest. Do you know why that might happen?
Wish I had seen this a month ago...I just paid for a course and she doesn't go into detail at all...no clear step by step instructions 🙄. Thank you so much for this video...it has cleared up alot of confusion!
So glad I could show you some great step by step info!!
