Hi Again. thanks for you trouble. I've used my GMAIL account and that works. 😀
Thanks a lot! 👍👍🙏
Your guys book link says it is not accepting new subscribers....
I opened an Etsy shop a few days before 2022, mainly doing digital downloads. But it wasn't until I started taking your advice seriously did I start seeing sales. I haven't hit that many, but I am happy and content with my growth. It's small, but you have to start somewhere! Thanks Kate!
Wow!! That’s wonderful!! So glad you’re seeing sales (happy dance!) So glad to be a help ❤️❤️❤️

This video is greatly appreciate…I’m a newbie and your my new guiding light! Lol…I self taught myself vector art last year. This year I’m studying surface pattern design. I sell my art on Etsy in between other gigs. I’ve surfed through a ton of TH-cam videos in the past two years to get here…. Your a keeper…please keep up the good work. My side hustle aka part time career switch-a-rooney…is relying on you! 🎉 Your brilliant, just thought you deserved to hear that to day…
Aww thank you for your kind words, friend. Made my day ❤️ So glad to hear you’re making progress in your business. Way to stay with it!! 👏👏👏
Thank you so much Kate for this video, is really amazing !
Very welcome friend, glad you found it helpful!!
This was really informative and helpful! Thanks for explaining everything really well :)
You’re very welcome, friend!
First video that didn’t make me feel discouraged so thank you! It was helpful but not negatively put. I’m trying to navigate selling the digital patterns for embroidery that I make. Feeling overwhelmed but less so after watching this!
So glad to hear that friend! Rooting for you!
Excellent information! Thank you :)
Wow. This video is amazing. You've helped me loads. Thank you so much. X
That’s great Steve! So happy to help you! 😊
Thanks much, Kate, for this very helpful video, and starter guide too
You’re very welcome friend! Glad you enjoyed the free guide! 😊
Lots of great tips, Kate. I'm not a novice, but you've given me a couple of new ideas. Thanks.
So glad!! Thanks for watching! 🥰
Great Video! I am a huge fan of Affinity because it's a one time purchase without a monthly charge to use it. Thanks for the freebie!
I've been searching for a video that teaches how to create and sell digital products, I could never find one. It is as if the other digital product creators don't want to let the secret out so that we can create too!😂I'm pretty sure there is enough room in the digital world for everyone! Thank you so much for making this Kate, you have given me access to this wonderful world of passive income!🤗
I hear you, friend. Definitely no gatekeeping here! We love to share!!
Liked very much & subscribed, thanks so much 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Yay!! Thank you for subscribing!! 💛
Great information, thank you for that. I am familiar with the vector programs as I have a CO2 laser also, SVG is my friend! Lol.
Couple questions though,
1- how do I offer a set of 3 digital files for one download as like a bundle?
2- how do I set up a commercial license for professional use? They typically are a lot more expensive than files just for personal use.
Appreciate your download help book will give that a read through. And appreciate your help.
This was really informative and just what I needed to understand different file types.
Great! So happy to help! 😊
Brilliant informative video exactly what I was looking for thankyou. 👏
Oh yay! That’s great to hear! Thank you for watching 🥰
EXCELLENT beginner's introduction.
THANK YOU !
You’re welcome!

Still a great video! Very educational! Thank you!
Thanks friend! Happy to help!
Thanks Kate!!! Very informative
You’re so welcome!
Very easy to understand and informative. Thank You!
So glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you so much for the videos, it is helpful - I am a graphic designer, been wanting to start it - little bit confused on how to proceed, can we get sales within 2 months?
Actually really awesome content!
Thanks so much Dylan!! 😄
Thank you for your lovely videos !
You’re so welcome, friend!
Hope this helps me🙂! Watching this right now!
Woohoo!! Awesome! 🥳
Super helpful video! With print products how does someone do quality control? If wall art, I would think getting a test print makes sense, but when at scale with a bunch of SKUs, this seems expensive and time-consuming.
Hi Kate! I’ve watched a few of your videos and they’ve been very helpful! I’m thinking of starting an Etsy shop with digital coloring pages, I use procreate for all my art and I’m not sure what types of files I would be selling.
Im also curious, what does DPI affect? You can adjust your DPI when creating a canvas but it doesn’t seem to affect anything on my end. Do things change when exporting? (My DPI is set to 132 on my normal canvas of 2300•3000px) Thank you!
This video is awesome and so helpful! I came across some other listings on Etsy and wondered if maybe you knew.. but do you know what the point of a fillable PDF would be? I'm wondering if that is something I should be creating or if I should be uploading the file as is. Thank you so much in advance!
Thank you for the freebie!!
Very welcome!! :)
Thanks for such an informative vedio 💖
My pleasure!! 😄
Thanks, as always!! If using a placeholder, how do you deliver custom videos & images once they're ready?
how to do it is what i was looking for. like a step by step guide vid, specialy for a non-tech like me.
We have a course launching next month that might be good for you. Sign up for the waitlist here…

Most useful video
Thank you

Thank you, Kate!
You’re welcome!
Hi Kate, thanks for this very useful video. I want to start my online business and i'm only using my android phone. I hope it goes well for me.
wow exactly what I needed to learn!
Yay!! So glad!
@@KateHayes thank you so much. just subcribed.
Thanks great info!🥰
No problem friend! 🥰
Hi Kate! I just found you!! Thank you for this video!
So glad you’re here! Happy to help! 🥰
Thanks for amazing information kate. But only one thing which discourages from selling on Etsy is what if our competitors start selling our ideas under their name or banner . How to protect our artwork on Etsy,
Brilliant! This tutorial came in time! Thank you so much! 💜 2 questions:
1) when offering a printable that can be both for posters and stationery, what sizes and how many do you offer? As in 4x6 all the way to 24x30? That a lot of files… which brings me to my next question
2) can you do a video on how to use Dropbox or Google drive for large files to be sold on Etsy?
Hey there! So for the sizing question, I’d say create separate listings for the poster sizes and stationary sizes. You could either make separate listings for each size or bundle and offer a few of each in each of the main listings (Ex: stationary listing would include files for both 4x6 and 5x7). Hope that makes sense!
And that’s a great idea for a video! Briefly, you’d just upload your file onto Google drive or Dropbox and then create a PDF file with the link to the folder in it. That PDF file would be what you upload to your listing so the buyer will get it after purchasing and can click the link to have access to the folder :)
@@KateHayes thank you so much for the super fast answer! 💜
This is the same problem I am also facing please make a video on it as well
Thank you for sharing this one.
Of course! Happy to help :)
Seeing in the comments that so many have open their Etsy in a couple months or days and its quite frustrating to see that I have open since August 2021 & my 3 sales are from people I talked to and send there so I can have some reviews. Nothing else 😔 but I’m glad im here and will take in your tips.
Thank you!!
How many products do you have listed?
@@BucktownLady today I have 17 listings. Have around 5-7 more to upload hopefully in few days all be up. But for now just 17.
How is your sales doing now?
@@elzettekillian9008 never had more sales there actually 🤷🏽♀️
You’re amazing thank you 🥰
Aww thanks friend ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you!
Really wonderful and helpful video! I’m curious if Etsy has a policy that protects/copyrights the work you post there so no one can claim it as theirs. Also, I’m at beginning exploring stages, any suggestions on what you should do about trademarking your shop name, especially if you use it on other social media platforms, or do you not need to worry about that? Thank you!!
Hi Kate. Is the starter guide still available?
Want to say thank you for all the great info. I am new to all this and still learning
Yes
Thank you so much! Not many people give things away for free anymore!
Aw, I’m happy to help 🥰
THANKS KATE!
You’re welcome!!! 💛
Hi Kate! I have a question. I typically create POD products but looking to switch over to digital products. When selling POD, I always put "made by another company or person- print shop" on etsy. If I am using artwork from creative fabrica but mixing it in with my own designs for digital products, would I still put made by another company or person for digital products? thanks so much!
Hi Kate! I’ve started an Etsy page in the fall of 2022. I have one file that customers are saying is low resolution. It was made with a transparent background, 300 DPI saved as a PNG. All of my other files seem to be fine! Did I miss something?
I was wondering about the legal side of making digital wall art with quotes? Are you allowed to design different wall art products that contain quote excerpts? You're videos are super informative, so I'm hoping you'll be able to help with the confusion around this too! Thank you!
I would love to know this too! Great question!
Great question! You can as long as the phrase or quote isn't trademarked. You can do a trademark search for the US on the USPTO website to see if it is or not. Definitely don't want to use anything that's trademarked or copyrighted :)
Thank you so much for your effort!
My pleasure!
Just found your channel awesome videos!
Welcome!! So glad you’re here friend!! 😊
Yay!! So great to connect with you!
Great informative video! Thanks a lot for your helpful content.💕🌸🌸🌸👍👏 I started my shop just in December 2020 and have 4 sales upto now. I'm really hopeful and I'll add more files( Pdf) in my listings and will see the results. I mostly use Procreate and Canva for my wall paintings, art cards and it's really easy to use. I'm learning gradually and it's so much fun when you like what you're doing. 😍
Hey friend! Yes- I so agree- you can enjoy the journey when you do what you love!! Great work! 💕
@@KateHayes exactly! 🤩😊🙏

Thank You For This Video And The Great Information New Subscriber
You are so welcome! Thanks for subscribing! 🥳
Hey thank you for the information, what file type it's the best for printable wall art on etsy or would you recommend different file types for a listing ?
I’d say look at including JPG, PNG, and PDF. Look at what your competitors are including in similar listings!
Where would you put the link to a dropbox? In the "note to buyers"? Does Etsy allow you to post links in the note?
Can you make digital products with only your smart phone? Or do you need to have a computer
Is selling digital art collages okay? The ideas are from you and I design the themes for each. So I was just wondering about it
Thanks for your video. Can you take a picture of something and make it digital print sell on Etsy? Do you have a video for that ?
Thank you so much I've learned more in this one video than I have the last two weeks & I haven't even got to the free download. I'm so EXCITED. It's so hard to find genuine people on here that really want to help newbies, but there are tons that claim to want to help us but they often leave us more confused than we were before we watched their video. It seems they give us a little valuable info here and there but are leaving out really important info we are seeking. They are claiming to want to help newbies but really they are just making content for their channel. Don't get me wrong I completely understand nobody owes us newbies anything but please don't pretend to be someone your not just to get subscribers. I'M SO GLAD I DON"T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THAT ANYMORE SINCE I DISCOVERED KATE HAYES CHANNEL. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. THANK YOU FOR BEING YOU. DON'T EVER CHANGE!!!!!
Aww thank you for your kind words!! That means the world to me, truly. I sincerely want to see people succeed which is why I do this. I know what a difference it can make because I’m living proof! So happy to connect with you and I wish you the very best! ❤️
Thanks for this video. I have a new Etsy shop and have uploaded 5 digital prints. I would like to be able to offer digital planners and wasn't really sure how to go about creating them and then uploading the files. I have seen some listings that seem like they are offering variations within their listing, but I didn't know how to upload them. Thanks for clearing that up. Unfortunately Etsy's help isn't really that helpful in my opinion.
Thank you Now I have know what vector procreate all that stuff. Thank you now I feel more at ease the lingo gets confusing at times. Well for me anyways. Lol I also downloaded your advice booklet. Thank you your so sweet to do that
Hey Chantal! I’m so happy to be a help. So glad you got the starter guide! I know it’ll be a huge help for you 💛
@@KateHayes yes I feel so much better and relieved I was just about to abort the digital products. Cause honestly so many many things to understand. I know I still get confused on the other things that also come along with it. Looking forward to more of your vids. Huge hugs from me to you
on my way to make an incredible amount of money 🥳🥳
Love to hear it!
So it is possible to upload multiple different file types thats great. This was my concern as i want to try to sell my artworks and i was not sure which file type i should upload. Obviously not raw file.
Thank you for the video, it was very informative. Instant thumbs up and Subsrcibe
So glad it was helpful for you friend! Thank you so much! 😊
Thanks for this! so helpful, clear and descriptive. I have a question: when using CANVA, how do you deal with using their graphics in a commercial way? I'm terrified of having issues with copyrights and so on.
I have this same question.
@@Leahmariaaaa I found this video where they explain it, basically you need to check on each item used by clicking in the 3 dots and then click on the "free" or "free for Canva Pro" or whatever else that says the and read their conditions. Most things can be used if you make changes to them and do not use them on their own. th-cam.com/video/OUyaeooTww0/w-d-xo.html

Hay there, I do have a question when it comes to the sizing and the files.
I see alot about for example; ratio 4.5 being for 16x20 - 8x10 - 4x5. ect
so I read that if you make the highest in that ratio, the costumer can resize them to smaller sizes for printing at home, is this how its done or should I literally make all sizes in the ratio possible?
would you then put all these different sizes in 5 different maps in a zipfolder or all together in one just 5 different ratios.
I hope my question is clear, beginner willing to learn and flourish here 🌻
Been doing lots of research on this for last 6 months so thought I’d try and assist, although you probably have since found your answer.
Essentially what you do is create one file for each of the various ratios you are looking to offer i.e 4:3 ratio, 2:3 ratio, 3:4 ratio at the highest size available under each of these ratios. As part of your listing you can include an image that details all the ratios and the respective sizes that fall under them & it’s up to you what file type you wish to provide (I.e PDF, JPEG or PNG)
if you want to provide each of the file types, then in total you’d create 9 digital files - each file type for each of the respective ratios you are offering so you’d end up with 3 PDF, 3 JPEG & 3 PNG files 😊
Nice sharing 💕
Thanks friend!! :)
In one Etsy listing, I uploaded a PDF and jpeg for a product. You said create a separate listing, did you mean a separate listing each for PDF and jpeg for the same product?
Thank you!!!
You’re welcome!
Hi thank you for this video. My question is about PDF files that I have created in Canva. I’ve had to take the PDF file into adobe acrobat so that I can remove the meta-data. What I’m talking about is, after you download a PDF on Canva and you go and open it, all of your personal information shows up in the Finder window such as where and when it was created who it was created by and it even says what Canva template was used. Do you know how to remove this without going into acrobat? If not do you just leave this information there with the customers being able to see it? Also depending on what software the customer will use to open the PDF will they be able to edit the file or do we need to put a password lock on it so they can’t edit it? Also will all the fonts that you create the template in be available for any customer or if they don’t have that font on their computer will your PDF that you create look different? Sorry for all the questions but I haven’t found anyone that can answer any of these. Thank you
Ooh, curious to know this too!
Hey Kate! Loved this thank you, :)when will you have another starter guide? I need help with all the things offered in it but it says it cant take anymore subscribers.
Hey friend! So sorry, we switched to a different domain and hadn’t updated the link yet. It should be good now! :)
@@KateHayes Yes!! Ty:)
To use the Google Drive method, do I just email them the link? Etsy wants me to upload up to 5 files for the listing... Should i just upload some sizes and then email the customer the Google Drive link incase they want access to the other sizes?
Hey Kate can you create a video on live creating digital products and listing them on etsy?
I want to create files for laser cutting because I make my own files for my own products but I also want to make printables on canva. Woukd it be bad to have one shop for both kinds of digital files?
Is there a way to make sure no one keeps sharing my file after they purchase it and use the link for Dropbox?
