    Bro as a 17 year old Im telling you these videos give so much hope. It's my first week of my new etsy shop selling tshirts and I have about 260 views and 160 visits. I have 36 listings currently but 0 sales. These videos give me another reason not to give up even after working for no results.

      maybe tshirt isnt the best idea. try selling other stuff. go after personalized stuff for quicker sale and "mental boost". you need that to keep going. hard to put in the work without any result at all.

      That is a lot of views. Did you use social media or just paid Etsy? It is strange that you have not sold anything with so many visits because that is a ton of visits

    Alek, you totally read my mind when making this video! I was literally about to search on your channel to find a video about your story and here you go posting it!!! I will buy your training course soon because I am 38 and tried of making only $15/hr at Walmart because I don't have a college degree. But in this country, you ONLY get rich by owning a business, real estate or investing. So according to "Rich Dad, Poor Dad", you will ALWAYS stay poor working only a job anyway! Thank you for making me believe in myself again. Now let's start printing t-shirts bitchesss!!!! - em, NYC.

    I started my Etsy store after being made redundant in 2020, so I can really relate to this, thank you for sharing. I'm getting back into it after a bit of a break doing other work, but it's true about the passive income, I've had some form of income whether I've been working on my store that week or not, all that work up front does pay off.

    I started my pod shop on etsy after watching your videos around 4 months ago.
    I have made around 30 sales and mostly are of digital files.
    Even though I'm still in loss but not losing my hope for a better time to come.

    That’s awesome! I’m so glad you were able to make it and achieve your goals. Thanks for your videos and encouragement. I’m on Etsy and I’m getting sales slowly, but a lot better than last year. I’m going to do it too! I’m not quitting because I enjoy designing.

    2:45 can 100% relate looooooooool. after brainwashing all day they hit me with "65k to learn graphic design". I came home and started learning myself. this was like 20 years ago before youtube. I always knew id be doing SOMETHING with graphic design.

    I'm guessing those 3-minute unskippable pre-roll ads are adding up nicely for you as well, but it does seem a bit excessive for a 13-minute video :)

      He can’t share them. If he brings thousands of people to his store and none buy, Etsy will stop promoting his shops.

    Although I hate the struggle you went through, I also love the struggle experienced. It obviously was a blessing in the end. However, you created the blessing with your determination and hunger. Many have never felt the need and hunger you talk about. Some say you didn't deliver what your title reads, I totally disagree. They missed the "(My Story) in the title. Your story is inspiring and an example of what can be achieved with hard hard work! I too love your humility and your willingness to be totally transparent while helping us all to achieve our goals! Thank you, Alek!

    Hey, Is it possible to make Etsy account from the country where its not supported? And just choose any other country where it is supported while registering on website? Will it cause any problem or if there is some solution for this situation, would be glad to get informed if you know something about this topic
