@@shimmymorris1 shimmy do you know how we can use POD on skateboards do you know what company does that? Could make a great new video. I know I heard people mention it on some video but I can't find what company does this.

Thank you so much Shimmy! This was extremely helpful and easy to follow. I'm planning on opening my own Etsy shop but have been a bit nervous. Watching this video gave me a boost of confidence so thank you very very much! And good luck on your continuing success!!
Thanks for an excellent tutorial. This is probably more infor than most people give away in a half hour video about Etsy with good demonstration. I know there is still more to learn, such as creating designs that sell. But liking this so far. I will watch more from you. Subscribed.
Once again Shimmy a brilliant well thought out teaching that was both easy to understand and entertaining at the same time. In it you call a spade a spade and give a very honest account of the Etsy scene. Thank you.
Thanks so much for this video! I have a RB shop with about 80 designs and it's not doing well, so I was looking for another way to sell. While I watched your video, I stopped it at every single "to do" and immediately followed the steps setting up my Etsy shop and Printful account. Now... the next few days I need to get busy and upload my designs LOL. No rest for the wicked ;) Cheers, Shimmy! x
You are AMAZING ! Watched it twice, wrote everything down step by step as Bullet points , you explain everything so succinctly and easy to follow , ok I’m on the case, I’m going in. Thank you so much for so generously giving your time and expertise
@@shimmymorris1 Ooops my brand new Etsy account just got suspended. I had got my first two designs up on my store and it all looked fabulous ! Then suddenly suspended ! who knows why ? Anyway back to the drawing board, it was a real learning experience and Printful are sending me the cheap quality control t-shirt I ordered, so not a completely wasted exercise. brain is boggled at the moment so gonna go walk the dog then launch back in
This video is so informative that I don't even have to go search for an additional one. Very thorough. Thank you. I do have a couple of questions though: So you know how customers like cute, personalized wrapping with a note perhaps...does the print on demand store you use wrap their products according to Etsy customer expectations? Do you still use this print on demand store (printful) and do you recommend it? I'm from the States so a CA based company works great for me.
Thank you so much! From what i'm aware, Printful wouldn't include a personalised note. If you're in the states I'd say use Awkward Styles. Their quality is incredible and they have very fast shipping
@@shimmymorris1 Hey Shimmy I don't know if you would be interested in doing a video about shipping prices from print on demand companies to places outside the USA but I was pretty disgusted with Printify when they didn't show me any indication of printing costs at all and just basically snatched the money out of my account with no confirmation the sale had gone through, no email about the sale and they charged me over three times the cost of the item in shipping to New Zealand. Now not all companies charge insane prices to ship to New Zealand any more. Amazon charged me less than$10 US to ship a CD to New Zealand but Printify charged me about $40US to ship me a bathmat without informing me about shipping costs in ANY way. I'd be interested to know if ArtofWhere or Printful or anywhere else is more reasonable.
Hi Shimmy. thanks for this tutorial. clear, pleasant to watch/listen. full of good quality content. I have a question... if you start a shop on Etsy as personal and you start selling a lot, can you switch your account/shop to a business (ltd UK based company) shop, or you need a new account?
Etsy has a free shipping over a certain total amount setting - that is what causes it to come up in the listing. Not the sale that you created. (the threshold is $30 in the US). It does boost you in SEO.
Awesome tutorial mate. I have been on the fence with starting up one of these accounts. Wasn't sure how they really worked, but now I do. Thank you. Only question I would have is where to find the information regarding the product description (what it is made from etc) shown 11 minutes in to the video.
Thanks for a great tutorial! Just one thing…. The fees on the T-shirt printing store are not inclusive of Etsy fees or local taxes are they? Do you have a method of calculating this? Particularly interested being in the uk too and having vat.
Thanks! No they're not included, it can be annoying because it can change depending on where you from, I do want to make a video on this but need to figure out how I would do it
Thanks for this video! It is just what I was after. I have a UK Etsy shop that sells Wall Art Prints (UK delivery only at the moment). I was hoping to expand into delivery into the rest of the world, the USA and Canada in particular. After a bit of google research I found 'print on demand' services a good way to do it relatively stress free. The one question I still have though after watching your video is are your Printiful (any print on demand service) T-Shirts available for the US market only or do Printiful print for other international countries: Australia, France, Germany, Spain, Canada, wherever? So, would that 'just a test' t-shirt you listed be available for an Australian customer, a US customer, a British customer, for example? Thanks once again. A really thorough video.
They sell in America for sure, I guess it depends on if your store preference is set to the UK or the USA. But there should always be shipping options for international shipping to a lot of countries.
Great Video Shimmy! I am waiting for further analysis. For the price with the minimum profit, you should consider Etsy fees also. With this low margin, you will definitely get lost all your profit.
I really liked the video it really was straightforward. My question is when a customer orders. Will etsy deliver the confirmation, refund, shipping, delivery emails to them? I won't have to do anything with that.
@@shimmymorris1 Thank you! That's great! 😁👍 I thought it was just the listing but wanted to make sure to be on the safe side. Thanks again Shimmy! Have a great day 😎👍
HI, SHIMMY . THANK YOU FOR THIS AMAZING FREE COURSE. PLZ CAN YOU TELL ME , DID I NEED TO OPEN ETSY SHOP FOR PAYMENTS GATEWAY TO ACCEPT CREDIT CARD ? OR I JUST ADD MY PERSONAL PAYPAL TO GET PAID. THANKS
Hi man thank you for the tutorial, i am beginner so i wanna ask pls do you creat the design yourself or you buy them from designers or you edit ready designs....???
I create the designs myself, my wife also creates the designs for me. You can do either, or you can use a website like vexels, kittl, etc, to get really good designs
Thank you Shimmy.What if i just want to sell downloaded prints of my art? How will i do the Listings.That's confusing to me...so many different lists of print sizes(in) x image sizes(pixels) ...
Hi Shimmy! What a great video 😊. I’ve been actually stuck trying to figure out the Stock Your Shop section. So just to clarify, when creating the first listing, what your saying is put in whatever for the moment because since we are going to be using our print on demand company (in this case, with Printful). Because of this, is that why it doesn’t matter? Will we be editing this part later once we have decided on a product from printful?
What would recommend on pricing for t-shirts and longshirts, how much I get of a selling on etsy? Is it recommended to want high prices and what are the advantages or disadvantages of it? Whats your tactic?
Hello Shimmy, I've got an etsy store selling prints in the UK. I was wanting to put some onto mugs, cushions, tote bags etc. What company would you suggest using in terms of price/quality. Preferably one that can be integrated with etsy. TIA. Greg
Hey Shimmy! I am trying to work out which print on demand provider is best to cover people around the world. Main business will be in Australia at start but need to make prints available in Europe and US. Thanks heaps for your videos and your help!! I think etsy asks to have stores in eiter UK or US..?
@@shimmymorris1 thanks for your reply. So its the Chrome background and need to use Chrome than. So is that give automatic also the time in middle and you can put a personal welcome message in it?
thank you! they automatically get renewed so you don't have to keep adding them. My current listings says expires in June so I don't think it's every month
Hi Shimmy, Helful video. So does Printful workout the delivery cost for each country?? If so we could pick the most expensive cost, add this onto the price and sate free shipping in Etsy. This way with cover the costs? Would want to sell at a loss. Esty fees are around 12% too to keep that in mind when selling.
@@shimmymorris1 My mistake. 5 % Transaction fee, 4% + £0.20 payment processing fee. Plus automatically included into offsite adds at 15% if sale made through there add (can opp out of this) - But Yeh I can see you have to watch your margins. It's not as straight forward as Shopify to work out costings. I found a page called 'Etsy Calucaltor' that helped set costings.
Do you know if the account name can be changed if you're not sure what you want to name it in the beginning? Also can a successful etsy business be sold and turned over to new owner account of transfered?
yes it can. I can't remember how many times but I definitely once. That's a great question. I guess you could just hand over password and log in details if you sold
Hi Shimmy, this is absolutely brilliant. Thanks. Two questions: 1.) As you are in the UK, do you use UK supplier for your products or a US supplier. 2.) How do you upload Placeit mockups through Printful or Printify? The latter has their own mockups and I can't upload Placeit mockups onto Printful or Printify.
I am in the UK and currently using printful who have distributions centres in the UK... I don't upload custom mock ups to printful, I'll upload them to etsy.. Printful is just where the fulfilment takes place, you can upload a whole bunch of place it mock ups directly to the product on etsy.
Great tutorial! Do you think it's better to upload your designs on multiple print on demand websites? With Printful, I can open a shop with RedBubble, TeeSpring, etc. and if I get accepted on Merch by Amazon, I can upload my designs there too.
This is excellent and really useful! 😊 The only other thing I'm wondering about is delivery and returns. So printful will be responsible for shipping the product but if a customer decides to return a product how is it handled?
personally, i would refund and say don't bother about returning, it'll be so infrequent and that will promote amazing customer service. But if you do need to return, printful can sort that if theres a legitimate reason
Shimmy. I am based in the UK. Do I need to select a Printful location for printing or is the local Printful site automatically used depending on the order location? Also, would I specify a default Printful location of UK or USA?
Hey Shimmy, I can't seem to figure out how to create a Facebook or Instagram shop so that I can connect it to my Etsy shop. Do you plan to make a video on this?
Hi Shimmy, great video 👍. I am getting my t-shirts from printful. To make a little profit I have to sell my shirt for over 20 euros. There are many sellers who sell their shirts for less. I don't understand, there is ultimately no money left for them ? Are there other tshirt sellers selling for less? Greetings Henk
Hi Shimmy! I just had a quick question regarding t-shirt colours. I've found that there are limitations to colours for products when using printful as Etsy requires all selected colours are available in all sizes. A message appears saying these varients are discontinued and won't be pushed into your store. I know you can remove the colour or change the sizes but this gives a very limited selection. Is there a way to change this? Also I noticed on printful you can go to store default selling preferences and change selling region. Is yours set to UK or worldwide?
Hey Shimmy, iv been through all the process to the point of 15:20 in the vid, so editing the product order details in Etsy. Im processing a Canvas print from Printful with multiple size options. In the delivery options imported by Printful delivery setting are flagging an issue on Etsy for being to high? The price is 26 pounds for delivery which seems crazy, not sure if in your experience this is correct or if im doing something wrong? Any suggestions would be appreciated 😃
Good video. I'm just so confused with pricing. Surely if you price too low then you'll be making a loss by the time you've factored in shipping, fees etc? It just seems so hard to work out exactly what to sell for so as to at least break even. Any advice please?
yes you have to be careful and think about the associated fees, like tax and shipping. I want to do a video breaking down the price and what exactly happens to the money
Hey thanks for the great tutorial. Just a question when it comes to the delivery option, the printful option says I am missing the origin post code and standard domestic delivery time. I am located in Australia. When I click edit it tells me to choose the delivery time for the United States as well as the origin post code.
Thank you for the helpful tutorial. For the part where you added your first product, the test t-shirt, my page did not look like that and I could not choose mockups. I ended up having to use royalty free photos, and edit them myself with my product with photoshop. Am I missing something?
@@shimmymorris1 I'll have a look at Placeit. I was just using Pexels.com. I have some more questions I thought of. Firstly, for messages does Etsy give you an email, or does Etsy email you that you have messages waiting that you have to go in and read within Etsy? Secondly, I want to have my items (typography printables) available in multiple sizes. Do you know how I can make multiple options within a listing so the customer can choose and select the desired sized pdf they want? I plan on making all my items digital download only without shipping. I prepared a document which is a screenshot tutorial to help my customers select high quality pictures and get the best results. I am curious if there’s somewhere to add this document which people can open? (without a cost). Where would you recommend in Etsy to attach this? Also, what is the timeframe for listings when they expire? You mentioned that you have 48 expired listings. Thanks a lot!
cool didn't know you could re-name shop name ok just changed it now lol I wonder how you can run a sale on certain items only so run like sales when special holiday events arrive still learning with Etsy might have to do collections if i can
@@shimmymorris1 Hi can you help me to open Bank Account in US to send me the details and sign up my Etsy. I will appreciate your help. Thank you so much
Hey Shimmy, thanks for the video. I saw some Esty stores selling T-shirts printed by Teemill. However, I couldn't find any way to connect both platforms. Do you know how can I do that? I really want to use Teemill because they sell organic and vegan T-shirts and I want to support them.
thats nice! I haven't actually ever tried connecting teemill and etsy. I tried doing some googling for you but the website and FAQs don't seem to be very helpful
Hi Shimmy, I added all my listings on the Etsy platform (instead of pushing them from the Printful side) will they sync? Do I need to delete them all and add them from Printful? I really don't want to start over and re-do all my listings....
@@shimmymorris1 Printful helped me out - "With Etsy, you can import your product from your store by enabling the product import in your settings. You can find it in Printful Dashboard > Settings > Stores > Orders" and there is a 'import existing products' box you check....worked like a charm! I'll probably be uploading things from the printful end from now on, but this at least saved me from re-doing all my hard work!
Thanks for the great tutorial Shimmy!really learning alot from you.who else is here taking notes like I am?

Also can a successful etsy business be sold and turned over to new owner account of transfered?
yes it can. I can't remember how many times but I definitely once. That's a great question. I guess you could just hand over password and log in details if you sold
Hi Shimmy, this is absolutely brilliant. Thanks. Two questions: 1.) As you are in the UK, do you use UK supplier for your products or a US supplier. 2.) How do you upload Placeit mockups through Printful or Printify? The latter has their own mockups and I can't upload Placeit mockups onto Printful or Printify.
I am in the UK and currently using printful who have distributions centres in the UK... I don't upload custom mock ups to printful, I'll upload them to etsy.. Printful is just where the fulfilment takes place, you can upload a whole bunch of place it mock ups directly to the product on etsy.
@@shimmymorris1 thank you so much. This is really very helpful.
Great tutorial! Do you think it's better to upload your designs on multiple print on demand websites? With Printful, I can open a shop with RedBubble, TeeSpring, etc. and if I get accepted on Merch by Amazon, I can upload my designs there too.
If you have the time for it then sure! Maybe start with 1 and slowly add more over time
This is excellent and really useful! 😊 The only other thing I'm wondering about is delivery and returns. So printful will be responsible for shipping the product but if a customer decides to return a product how is it handled?
personally, i would refund and say don't bother about returning, it'll be so infrequent and that will promote amazing customer service. But if you do need to return, printful can sort that if theres a legitimate reason
@@shimmymorris1 for non legitimate reason would I have to bear entire cost which printful or partner charged?
Shimmy. I am based in the UK. Do I need to select a Printful location for printing or is the local Printful site automatically used depending on the order location? Also, would I specify a default Printful location of UK or USA?
it should be automatic, that's how it's worked for me
l just got my Etsy/Printful store up...Would like your input. Do you recommend using Etsy ads?
i haven’t fully tested them, but I’ve heard ok things
Hey Shimmy, I can't seem to figure out how to create a Facebook or Instagram shop so that I can connect it to my Etsy shop. Do you plan to make a video on this?
i'm going to be making a video on this too :D
Nice Video! Thanks for sharing your knowledge .I have one doubt, Can i have keep money on my printful account, when i integrate with etsy-Printful ?
thank you! glad you liked. You would keep money in your bank account that you have connected with printful
@@shimmymorris1 Thanks four reply Shimmy, How much can i have money on my account? for first sales or every sale?
@@senthildurai777 enough to afford the cost of the t-shirt... so have a bit in there to afford maybe 10 and as you get more sales put more in there
@@shimmymorris1 Thank you very much for your reply
can anyone still adopt this as a guide to start with etsy in 2024?
Hi Shimmy, great video 👍. I am getting my t-shirts from printful. To make a little profit I have to sell my shirt for over 20 euros. There are many sellers who sell their shirts for less. I don't understand, there is ultimately no money left for them ? Are there other tshirt sellers selling for less? Greetings Henk
thanks! they may have chosen the cheaper shirt. I sell mine for less but i have a tiny profit margin
Hey Shimmy, Did you close your Etsy shop Because I am not able to see your shop on Etsy.
I changed it after my wife started working with me. Either way, I'm focusing more on amazon merch at the moment
What do you think of Gelato ? Or would you you stick with printful ?
I haven't tried them so can't comment
Hi Shimmy! I just had a quick question regarding t-shirt colours. I've found that there are limitations to colours for products when using printful as Etsy requires all selected colours are available in all sizes. A message appears saying these varients are discontinued and won't be pushed into your store. I know you can remove the colour or change the sizes but this gives a very limited selection. Is there a way to change this? Also I noticed on printful you can go to store default selling preferences and change selling region. Is yours set to UK or worldwide?
mine is set to worldwide. I never offer all the colours, as i mainly do the cheapest printful shirt which only comes in black, grey, navy and white
Hey Shimmy, iv been through all the process to the point of 15:20 in the vid, so editing the product order details in Etsy. Im processing a Canvas print from Printful with multiple size options. In the delivery options imported by Printful delivery setting are flagging an issue on Etsy for being to high? The price is 26 pounds for delivery which seems crazy, not sure if in your experience this is correct or if im doing something wrong?
Any suggestions would be appreciated 😃
it's probably due to the size of the canvas. It can do odd things with shipping prices. You may have to do it manually.
What do you input for the shipping dimensions? ie. length, width, height, weight
leave as blank, if it says error just click submit again and it should be fine
can I start an Etsy account selecting a different country in the list? It seems that many countries aren't showing up there, does that leave me out?
Oh I’m not sure about that actually. You should try emailing them
Good video. I'm just so confused with pricing. Surely if you price too low then you'll be making a loss by the time you've factored in shipping, fees etc? It just seems so hard to work out exactly what to sell for so as to at least break even. Any advice please?
yes you have to be careful and think about the associated fees, like tax and shipping. I want to do a video breaking down the price and what exactly happens to the money
@@shimmymorris1 thanks for replying, appreciated. If you could do a video on it that would be really helpful.
Hey thanks for the great tutorial. Just a question when it comes to the delivery option, the printful option says I am missing the origin post code and standard domestic delivery time. I am located in Australia. When I click edit it tells me to choose the delivery time for the United States as well as the origin post code.
ye, put in the post code of printful
Thank you for the helpful tutorial. For the part where you added your first product, the test t-shirt, my page did not look like that and I could not choose mockups. I ended up having to use royalty free photos, and edit them myself with my product with photoshop. Am I missing something?
thanks! glad you liked it :D that is odd, you should see some mock ups if you're using printful as the integration. Have you considered using placeit?
@@shimmymorris1
I'll have a look at Placeit. I was just using Pexels.com.
I have some more questions I thought of.
Firstly, for messages does Etsy give you an email, or does Etsy email you that you have messages waiting that you have to go in and read within Etsy?
Secondly, I want to have my items (typography printables) available in multiple sizes. Do you know how I can make multiple options within a listing so the customer can choose and select the desired sized pdf they want?
I plan on making all my items digital download only without shipping. I prepared a document which is a screenshot tutorial to help my customers select high quality pictures and get the best results. I am curious if there’s somewhere to add this document which people can open? (without a cost). Where would you recommend in Etsy to attach this?
Also, what is the timeframe for listings when they expire? You mentioned that you have 48 expired listings.
Thanks a lot!
cool didn't know you could re-name shop name ok just changed it now lol I wonder how you can run a sale on certain items only so run like sales when special holiday events arrive still learning with Etsy might have to do collections if i can
When running a sale, you can select which products are included in that sale
Goldden!
thanks! hope you like
This is Great video, I looking to start Etsy Digital Product marketing but I am not living in US. I need your Help if you can.
Thanks
thank you! What's up?
@@shimmymorris1
Hi can you help me to open Bank Account in US to send me the details and sign up my Etsy. I will appreciate your help.
Thank you so much
Hey Shimmy, thanks for the video. I saw some Esty stores selling T-shirts printed by Teemill. However, I couldn't find any way to connect both platforms. Do you know how can I do that? I really want to use Teemill because they sell organic and vegan T-shirts and I want to support them.
thats nice! I haven't actually ever tried connecting teemill and etsy. I tried doing some googling for you but the website and FAQs don't seem to be very helpful
@@shimmymorris1 Yes Shimmy, I've been trying to figured out bust still no answer. If you know something pls let me know
Hey Shimmy, would you use placeit to make designs for etsy shop? Placelit lets us save at 72 dpi only. Is it good enough?
i'm going to be making a video on this
Looking forward. Thanks for the reply!
Do you know if its possible to open up an Etsy account in a country you do not live in?
You can sell in other countries if that's what you were asking
Hey my friend, I was wondering what do you put for the locatiobn for printful when you are filling out the production manager box?
i put charlotte i think, it was a while ago, but this is where printful are based
@@shimmymorris1 Thanks so much for helping!!
Hi Shimmy, I added all my listings on the Etsy platform (instead of pushing them from the Printful side) will they sync? Do I need to delete them all and add them from Printful? I really don't want to start over and re-do all my listings....
oh interesting, I have never tried that, I always push from printful, I think that's vital because they are printing and shipping your products
@@shimmymorris1 Printful helped me out - "With Etsy, you can import your product from your store by enabling the product import in your settings. You can find it in Printful Dashboard > Settings > Stores > Orders" and there is a 'import existing products' box you check....worked like a charm! I'll probably be uploading things from the printful end from now on, but this at least saved me from re-doing all my hard work!
Hi Shimmy, can you tell me the ideal size image for mock ups from placeit to etsy? Images are always squashed when mock up is uploaded to Etsy
I always do square photos, so 1500px by 1500px
