Inspiration for anyone who’s shop isn’t taking off yet - My first month was only sales from friends and family. I didn’t get my first sale from people outside of my friend group till month 4. Each month for the 3 months after that was less than $150 per month. My revenue for the first 5 months was about $400. However, this past month the snowball has really started rolling and I had about $500 revenue. This month I am on track to do double that. Just because you haven’t seen the results yet, don’t give up. Put in the work and hold out. You got this!
@@harthargaming8340 No I didn’t list them daily. I sell a handmade product that is hard to list every day. I try to list them about once a week now for at least some consistency. If you sell a product that you can list one each day, I would definitely recommend that though.
I started my Etsy shop in June 2023 with digital products. No sales and I actually loathed making the digital products. I began to really reflect on everything and what would make me happy creating...so I switched it up to selling physical items I design. I took down my digital products and put up some leggings. I sold a pair within an hour of posting so I knew I was on the right track. I took a break to get cash flow in for the next two months. I made a couple random sales just on SEO. My full time gig slowed up this winter so I began putting up some new listings a week ago and sold 5 items! I am thrilled!! Meanwhile I know I'm still basically flying by the seat of my pants which is why I am here...to learn as much as i can. I want to make Etsy my full time income and make my current full time income (forestry) my side gig. I grossed close to $300 in sales this week alone. My goal is to do at least that every day. My biggest challenge is that my Internet is spotty whenever it rains or I would make it a point to put up several new designs a week. It's hopefully getting fixed on Wednesday. Don't give up and keep testing your market. All it takes is one hot item to get your store noticed. Best of luck everyone.❤
Started Etsy Jan 1st with no idea what I’m doing. Got my first sale 11 days in. I didn’t ask anyone I know to buy my products because I really wanted to test my SEO and product research. I don’t get “influence” from my competitors by copying them, I do download data spreadsheets on my competitor’s sales and analyze my Etsy stats for keywords to see what is in demand. I am 3 months in and have 250 listings and 126 sales. I target a buyer persona and offer them several item types. It’s really an art and a science. And finally, bookkeeping. No one like it but you’ll love it when you study how your shop is doing and make decisions (like running sales) based on data and not feelings. No get rich quick but a lot of hard work and automation. I love these videos for the motivation so Thanks for the great videos!
Would you say from looking at your shop growing that the amount of listings you have is directly correlated to the amount of traffic and sales you have? Did you see consistent growth in your sales as you grew your listing count?
@@aoifegallagher5908 It def helped, but I had so many views from 15 or 20 listings. I believe it was my SEO and main listing photo. Your shop obviously needs to be complete (banner, logo, about, etc). I tested my SEO and photos with duplicate listings and on Pinterest. Based on the Etsy and Pinterest stats, whatever color or type had high views or clicks after 60 days, I would keep and then delete the old and failing listings. I also message my buyers: at purchase, once shipped, delivered, and if they leave a review. To my surprise the ones who have responded have been repeat buyers! You have to know your buyer persona. I dialed mine in and it is so helpful!

I started a digital Etsy store last year in July 2022. I put two listings up and felt very disappointed when I wasn't rich after 3days 😂 so I just left my shop open and never even checked on it. Went back and checked in January purely out of curiosity and surprisingly I had 6sales and 2 five star reviews with zero marketing, no shop logo, no banner so in the middle of February I went back to it and started building it out slowly. I have 34 listings now and 10 sales so not too bad. I'm extremely bad with delayed gratification though. I needed to see this video today because I do tend to get bored and unmotivated when I don't see immediate results. Anytime I feel this way I watch your videos to put me in my place😂 Thank you Dylan ❤️
My first 30 days I made $12.99! My best friend was my first sale and I was over the moon, seriously. I've now been open for about 2 months and haven't gotten any new sales. I've had several setbacks that's slowed my business, mostly health challenges, and I've only been tending to my shop for and average of 1-2 hours every few days. I'm feeling much better now and the advice Dylan's been giving is very inspiring!
Congrats on your first sale! It's awesome that you're feeling better and ready to get back to your shop.

I got my first sale after a full month, and consistent multiple sales a day- after 4 months, my attitude was to be patient, work hard on adding listings every day , making new designs, and also: "if those shops selling similar items to mine can be that successful, so can I! " all my friends who have tried to set up their etsy shops gave up after 4-6 weeks because sales werent pouring in...
I am happy to share that i start shop on etsy on last week of February and now its the end of the month march and we cross the 60+ sales. I am so happy to share with etsy community. You are amazing ans your tips. Thank you for your support
Super helpful! I just finally got my first sale from someone who isn't a family member, and I started in early February. Definitely going to take more patience than I thought
Thank you so much. I am working my backside off to build my store with real commitment, while working as well part time. This video came at the right time. 3 weeks in with about 140 listing's for digital products.
I received that feedback that i needed to keep my listings consistent for branding where previously I had copies of different photos for the same writing, etc to test. So I redid all the listings for consistency. And now I feel I was right to test. It's tricky finding the right thing to do
This is the best channel I have found about Etsy and e-commerce!! Thank you so much!! I am been four years just learning about photos, design, videos and crafting and stablishing my brand, image, colors, fonts, hahaha, studying different markets! Pivoting between markets! etc etc
Wow, thank you! It sounds like you've put in so much hard work and dedication over the past four years-amazing! By the way, have you noticed your sales steadily increasing this year?
Hi, I opened my store 4 days ago, I made 4 sales in 2 days but things have slowed down. Thank you for this post, it's put things in perspective. It's a good start, I just need to stay consistent
I started Etsy around this time last year selling my photography prints. I've made 12 sales even though I've followed everything I can think of - titles, tags, descriptions, clear good quality pictures. For some reason I made a lot more sales last year - this year I've only made 2 so far. Can't understand why I'm not getting many sales!
Dear Dylan, you are amazing and so so inspiring! I'm just getting started with my own shop with print on demand and Printify. I follow all of your advices but I think I can't get followers via social media, because at the moment we are shipping only to United States. Please think about making video with advices about working my way. I will be very grateful!
I’m so glad I found your channel! I am also a Military wife, and I’m just starting out with e-commerce. Hoping to provide my family with a steady second income. We move too much for me to have a steady career, so this is something that can move with me. Hope to join your coaching maybe soon!
Awesome!! If you'd ever want to talk about all the options we have available to help you, feel free to send a message to @dylanjahraus on instagram and we can talk about it more! (and make sure to mention the codeword ETSY1)
HI, thanks for the video, I'm actually doing one of the things you said not to and jumping and making a new shop when I don't like the results thinking I'm doing something wrong. I am going to listen to you and focus on just one and see what happens. I'm struggling so much but this video did give me some hope. Thanks!!
Great video, thanks for that! In my first month i sold nothing! 🤦🏻♀️ I have my store open for 3 months and this month i had 4 organic sales. I really like your last point, that's very true. I'm curious to hear What loss leader would you do for a pod tshirt? Thanks so much
Having so much difficulty finding a candle niche or theme instead of offering a bit of everything for any for anyone for different occasions. Thank you for all your advice, very informative.

Your videos are so inspiring,I found you recently,and I watch a lot of your videos and get so much good advice thank you !Sk I went from having 35 sales now I’m at 212 sales in the past 2 months ,I know that’s not that much ,but I was hearing the cha Ching sound left ,and right it was stressful yet exciting !😀These past few days have been so slow for me I’m still getting favorites and people viewing my shop ,but less sales and it just scares me since I been getting quite a bit sales lately?Should I be scared ?
the step 5, I needed to hear that because i wasn't sure if i was doing the right thing and turns out i was wrong. I'm relying on etsy and other POD platforms to take off and I'm not doing anything else, not hustling and looking for cashflow, I'm afraid if I do it I wont have the time to sit down and draw because I would be tired and drained from working all day. but thank you for that advice you are the first person who i heard gave it i will finish uploading the rest of my art and start looking for a job at the same time.

I started an Etsy store selling AI Art as digital downloads not knowing market research, SEO, mockups, etc. My first month I had 1 sale and a total net profit of -$12. The subsequent two months I made a small profit but this month I am struggling with sales 😒
Can I just say Dylan you really do give quality advice. Before I found you I was watching any joe blogs whos content stood out to me the most but now whenever I wanna know something I type in what I wanna know then put your name to see if you specifically have a video. Also to add you are a sister in Christ which draws me even more towards your content. Thank you so much for all you do it really is great value x
Hi 👋🏼 Dylan, I have a question if I may, I opened my Etsy store in 2019, however, due to my circumstances, I didn’t get chance to start uploading my work until March this year 2023, I only have 5 sales so far. Have I missed out on what others are telling me is a Etsy ‘honeymoon period’? And is there a way for me to remove the ‘been on Etsy since 2019’ I am just a little worried how my store may come across to potential buyers that see I’ve been on since 2019 with ONLY 5 sales. Should I close up shop and start again? BTW great informative video
I sold nothing in my first month on Etsy, despite getting a lot of views. I tried changing up some product qualities, but I have been getting even less views since then. I’m about five months in, still with no sales. I’m trying not to let it discourage me and I’m continuing to work on new products to add.
Can you do a video in the intital set up of an Etsy shop and how to make a listing and if u needed to add variations how to do that correctly and if some variations are different prices how to set it up on Etsy ❤
Question…. If I start promoting my shop and my shop isn’t looking great and I do drive some traffic to my shop and than those people that come to the shop say “this shop has hardly any merchandise and it’s not so great” than what will guarantee they ever come back to the shop? Also I don’t have any cohesive look to my shop when you scroll through there are definitely different mock-ups and I have always loved the way it looked so uniform when you use the same mockup when scrolling through it just looks neat. But maybe that’s a me thing, I like how clean it looks. How to you take an item that sells well and make more money with it when it’s a print on demand tshirt. I have a birthday shirt that is selling well and I know it could be selling way better and I am missing out on making more money, I just don’t know what else to do with it.
Congrats! I would love to hear more about your strategy on Etsy, feel free to message me anytime on Instagram @dylanjahraus and send me the code: DYLAN1 , Thanks for sharing :)
Can I have an example of a loss leader I'm lost on this 😅 I sell homemade customized vinyl decals and customisable sticker sheets, they're not expensive to buy at all like less that 3 euro, and I have categories and have an ever growing POD also in the same Etsy shop. Are my decals and sheets my loss leaders already? They draw people to my shop
I really love your channel. I just started about a month ago and got 1 sale from my room mate. I would really love a coaching session with you. I am one of those who live paycheck to paycheck and my dream is to live freely and do what I love

💜💛Hello, my store on Etsy was temporarily shut down. When i appealed they said it would be permanant. I had just been open for one week and not violated any terms. It somehow miraculously opened again and I'm terrified if I upload too many items it will get shut down again... I was loading around 20 per day and now have over 100 items in my store. I still want to grow as fast as i can and offer tons of options to my cutomers- I sell tumbler wrap designs. My question is how many items should i upload per day??? Thanks a bunch!!!
I'd love to help you out with this, there's more I'd need to know! Feel free to send us a DM on instagram @dylanjahraus and we can talk more about it. Mention the code ETSY1 when you reach out!
I want to start a shop selling print on demand phone cases using AI as part of the design process. I have a limited budget. I am a photographer. However, my house is a nondescript condo and I'm self conscious about my poorly kept up hands. I don't have the addition resources to buy a bunch of designs for the phones. So, I am left with the option of mockup. I do have the skills to make mockups using Photoshop which I am quite experienced with. I would have to find a model and I have a potential model. However, at most with this model I would be able to get 3-5 mockup shot i think. I was also concerned that the mock-up might not all fit with all my customers. For example, if I create a mock up shot in a chic home and drop a design made for Goths. Will that work. Because of all these problems I was reconcidering shooting on one background but is this a mistake?
I wish I could remember. I think I waited months to get my first sale. 😮. I do remember that my table runners got promoted on an influencer account and after that my sales increased!
I got 4 sales the first week for a total of $57.50. I remember hearing "Cha-ching" for the first time and not knowing where that sound had come from. Haha! I asked my mom, "What was that?" :) The first 8 months were all about being patient and sticking with it. On month 9, sales improved considerably. My biggest weakness is social media. I dislike the fact that I probably have as many fake account as followers on Instagram as real ones. Is that normal for everyone else?
Reach out if you need any 1:1 help! IG @DylanJahraus. We have a very robust, yet simple social media strategy that gets you followers that are warm leads/customers.
We can get it to a couple hundred per month for you! If you'd like to see monthly cost it just depends on your location and we can take you through those options. Just reach out on IG at @dylanjahraus
Love all your videos! For my first month on Etsy I did 12 sales and made about $500. Now thanks to you as a my coach the last 3 months have been amazing!
I am new to selling on Etsy, but after my 7 listing I had 13 sales and 4 reviews. And I haven’t had friends og family buying anything, I havent even shown them the shop. But the revenue is not high do to it being graphics and only very few listings, but I can see the possibility. Sadly I can’t upload listings every day because I focus on quality and have a part-time job and a daughter with Down syndrome, but I will keep at it, at my own phase ❤️❤️
I've had a small amount of sales in 3 months, but my question is, I opened my ETSY store 10 years ago and forgot I had one, then decided to open one and realized I already had one, so used the one I started 10 years ago and have built to over 250 products in the past few months. Was that a wrong thing to do? Will that affect my visibility or should I have started with a completely new store?
so you're up for approx $200 a year to etsy and what? still no sales? If I got to 40 listings and Im not even seeing traffic and its been 6 months, Id delete my account and stick up a middle finger🤣 yet notice Im still willing to waste 6 months of my life to find out but my hopes are minimal
@@rochellevincentevonk oh, no, I was just observing that if you are paying 20 cents every quarter, 250 listings you are now up for 200 dollars a year. I would want to see some sort of return for that amount. In answer to your question which I ignored, no you arent penalized for not opening a fresh account. why would you be? in my opinion if the account is in good standing, they couldnt care less.

I made 1 sale my first 30 days and I was not active for months and now that I am active I have 18 sales but as much as I have tried to study SEO I still am really struggling to get sales at all. Almost 50 listings. None are from SEO. I have bought courses and classes and I truly do feel like I am a lost cause. I am not giving up, but I’m so tired of the discouragement. I just want 100 sales right now, not even 1000s at this time.

Glad to help!
Great Video Love your to the point honest about the hustle mentality.
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it!
I started Etsy around this time last year selling my photography prints. I've made 12 sales even though I've followed everything I can think of - titles, tags, descriptions, clear good quality pictures. For some reason I made a lot more sales last year - this year I've only made 2 so far. Can't understand why I'm not getting many sales!
Reach out on IG @DylanJahraus or email team@dylanjahraus.com and we can take a look!
I had my first sale after 5 days and made around 240€ within my first month selling :)
That's wonderful!
Dear Dylan, you are amazing and so so inspiring! I'm just getting started with my own shop with print on demand and Printify. I follow all of your advices but I think I can't get followers via social media, because at the moment we are shipping only to United States.
Please think about making video with advices about working my way. I will be very grateful!
Thank you!! Reach out on IG @DylanJahraus if you're interested in 1:1 help!
Thank you. Wonderfully helpful, and practical. Shall re-watch often :)
Glad it was helpful!
Very helpful suggestions! Thank you!
You're welcome!!
Thank you for this blunt crucial advice. I respect you more every video. You are my go-to person for Etsy.
Wow, thank you!
great video! thank you!
Glad you enjoyed!
I’m so glad I found your channel! I am also a Military wife, and I’m just starting out with e-commerce. Hoping to provide my family with a steady second income. We move too much for me to have a steady career, so this is something that can move with me. Hope to join your coaching maybe soon!
Awesome!! If you'd ever want to talk about all the options we have available to help you, feel free to send a message to @dylanjahraus on instagram and we can talk about it more! (and make sure to mention the codeword ETSY1)
HI, thanks for the video, I'm actually doing one of the things you said not to and jumping and making a new shop when I don't like the results thinking I'm doing something wrong. I am going to listen to you and focus on just one and see what happens. I'm struggling so much but this video did give me some hope. Thanks!!
That is awesome!
Great video, thanks for that!
In my first month i sold nothing! 🤦🏻♀️
I have my store open for 3 months and this month i had 4 organic sales.
I really like your last point, that's very true.
I'm curious to hear What loss leader would you do for a pod tshirt?
Thanks so much

That's great! Don't be scared, you may just need to re-strategize a bit. Reach out if you need any 1:1 help! IG @DylanJahraus
Thank you very much
You are welcome!
Hello! I made $0 in my first 30 days on Etsy. It took me 2 months to get my first sale.
Thank you for sharing!!
the step 5, I needed to hear that because i wasn't sure if i was doing the right thing and turns out i was wrong. I'm relying on etsy and other POD platforms to take off and I'm not doing anything else, not hustling and looking for cashflow, I'm afraid if I do it I wont have the time to sit down and draw because I would be tired and drained from working all day. but thank you for that advice you are the first person who i heard gave it i will finish uploading the rest of my art and start looking for a job at the same time.

I started an Etsy store selling AI Art as digital downloads not knowing market research, SEO, mockups, etc. My first month I had 1 sale and a total net profit of -$12. The subsequent two months I made a small profit but this month I am struggling with sales 😒
Can I just say Dylan you really do give quality advice. Before I found you I was watching any joe blogs whos content stood out to me the most but now whenever I wanna know something I type in what I wanna know then put your name to see if you specifically have a video. Also to add you are a sister in Christ which draws me even more towards your content. Thank you so much for all you do it really is great value x
All I can say is thank you so much! I really appreciate you!
Hi 👋🏼 Dylan,
I have a question if I may, I opened my Etsy store in 2019, however, due to my circumstances, I didn’t get chance to start uploading my work until March this year 2023, I only have 5 sales so far.
Have I missed out on what others are telling me is a Etsy ‘honeymoon period’?
And is there a way for me to remove the ‘been on Etsy since 2019’
I am just a little worried how my store may come across to potential buyers that see I’ve been on since 2019 with ONLY 5 sales.
Should I close up shop and start again?
BTW great informative video
I sold nothing in my first month on Etsy, despite getting a lot of views.
I tried changing up some product qualities, but I have been getting even less views since then.
I’m about five months in, still with no sales.
I’m trying not to let it discourage me and I’m continuing to work on new products to add.
If you need help just reach out! dylanjahraus.com/contact
Can you do a video in the intital set up of an Etsy shop and how to make a listing and if u needed to add variations how to do that correctly and if some variations are different prices how to set it up on Etsy ❤
Thanks for the request!
Question…. If I start promoting my shop and my shop isn’t looking great and I do drive some traffic to my shop and than those people that come to the shop say “this shop has hardly any merchandise and it’s not so great” than what will guarantee they ever come back to the shop? Also I don’t have any cohesive look to my shop when you scroll through there are definitely different mock-ups and I have always loved the way it looked so uniform when you use the same mockup when scrolling through it just looks neat. But maybe that’s a me thing, I like how clean it looks. How to you take an item that sells well and make more money with it when it’s a print on demand tshirt. I have a birthday shirt that is selling well and I know it could be selling way better and I am missing out on making more money, I just don’t know what else to do with it.
I'm 12 days in and I've made 10 sales!
Congrats! I would love to hear more about your strategy on Etsy, feel free to message me anytime on Instagram @dylanjahraus and send me the code: DYLAN1 , Thanks for sharing :)

Can I have an example of a loss leader I'm lost on this 😅 I sell homemade customized vinyl decals and customisable sticker sheets, they're not expensive to buy at all like less that 3 euro, and I have categories and have an ever growing POD also in the same Etsy shop. Are my decals and sheets my loss leaders already? They draw people to my shop

💜💛Hello, my store on Etsy was temporarily shut down. When i appealed they said it would be permanant. I had just been open for one week and not violated any terms. It somehow miraculously opened again and I'm terrified if I upload too many items it will get shut down again... I was loading around 20 per day and now have over 100 items in my store. I still want to grow as fast as i can and offer tons of options to my cutomers- I sell tumbler wrap designs. My question is how many items should i upload per day??? Thanks a bunch!!!
I'd love to help you out with this, there's more I'd need to know! Feel free to send us a DM on instagram @dylanjahraus and we can talk more about it. Mention the code ETSY1 when you reach out!
I got my first sale on etsy in 13 days!
Congratulations on your sale! Thats exciting!
Just getting started. Haven’t opened a shop yet.
Yay!!! let me know how it goes!
I want to start a shop selling print on demand phone cases using AI as part of the design process. I have a limited budget. I am a photographer. However, my house is a nondescript condo and I'm self conscious about my poorly kept up hands. I don't have the addition resources to buy a bunch of designs for the phones. So, I am left with the option of mockup. I do have the skills to make mockups using Photoshop which I am quite experienced with. I would have to find a model and I have a potential model. However, at most with this model I would be able to get 3-5 mockup shot i think. I was also concerned that the mock-up might not all fit with all my customers. For example, if I create a mock up shot in a chic home and drop a design made for Goths. Will that work. Because of all these problems I was reconcidering shooting on one background but is this a mistake?
i have more than 20 products in my shop , but didn't get any sale yet !
Thank you for sharing!!
I wish I could remember. I think I waited months to get my first sale. 😮. I do remember that my table runners got promoted on an influencer account and after that my sales increased!
Cool turning point!!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻

I made 10$ in my first month. This is my third month and I had one $250 sale and one $80 sale as well as a a few 1.99$ sales.
What's a "loss leader"?
How can I get your help one on one for my shop. I need your guidance please.
I got 4 sales the first week for a total of $57.50. I remember hearing "Cha-ching" for the first time and not knowing where that sound had come from. Haha! I asked my mom, "What was that?" :)
The first 8 months were all about being patient and sticking with it. On month 9, sales improved considerably. My biggest weakness is social media. I dislike the fact that I probably have as many fake account as followers on Instagram as real ones. Is that normal for everyone else?
Reach out if you need any 1:1 help! IG @DylanJahraus. We have a very robust, yet simple social media strategy that gets you followers that are warm leads/customers.
I couldnt find anywhere the price list. Does anyone know how much it costs for the six week program
We can get it to a couple hundred per month for you! If you'd like to see monthly cost it just depends on your location and we can take you through those options. Just reach out on IG at @dylanjahraus
I made 228 in my first full 30 days selling on etsy. all organic.
That's awesome! Congratulations!
Love all your videos! For my first month on Etsy I did 12 sales and made about $500. Now thanks to you as a my coach the last 3 months have been amazing!
Thank you!!! So glad to have you in the program! Rockstar student!!!
Hi, Nhi can you please guide me too.
My #1 Market Leader Strategy: th-cam.com/video/ci65n-5KVT8/w-d-xo.html
The store I'm building now saw 0 income the first 60 days. I'm now in month 4 and I'm at 12 sales.
I am new to selling on Etsy, but after my 7 listing I had 13 sales and 4 reviews. And I haven’t had friends og family buying anything, I havent even shown them the shop. But the revenue is not high do to it being graphics and only very few listings, but I can see the possibility. Sadly I can’t upload listings every day because I focus on quality and have a part-time job and a daughter with Down syndrome, but I will keep at it, at my own phase ❤️❤️
You got this, Karima!
I've had a small amount of sales in 3 months, but my question is, I opened my ETSY store 10 years ago and forgot I had one, then decided to open one and realized I already had one, so used the one I started 10 years ago and have built to over 250 products in the past few months. Was that a wrong thing to do? Will that affect my visibility or should I have started with a completely new store?
so you're up for approx $200 a year to etsy and what? still no sales? If I got to 40 listings and Im not even seeing traffic and its been 6 months, Id delete my account and stick up a middle finger🤣 yet notice Im still willing to waste 6 months of my life to find out but my hopes are minimal
@@AugustusOmega that wasn't my question or the info re my account at all... but good luck to u hope it works out ✌
@@rochellevincentevonk oh, no, I was just observing that if you are paying 20 cents every quarter, 250 listings you are now up for 200 dollars a year. I would want to see some sort of return for that amount. In answer to your question which I ignored, no you arent penalized for not opening a fresh account. why would you be? in my opinion if the account is in good standing, they couldnt care less.
I made 5 sales and sold 15 items my first month. Feels good but I want to keep scaling
Let's go!!!
I’ve done all these steps and I’ve been doing my Etsy shop for a year. I’ve only had 20 sales
Let's talk on IG my handle is @DylanJahraus. So we can talk more about your challenges on your Etsy. :)

I made 1 sale my first 30 days and I was not active for months and now that I am active I have 18 sales but as much as I have tried to study SEO I still am really struggling to get sales at all. Almost 50 listings. None are from SEO. I have bought courses and classes and I truly do feel like I am a lost cause. I am not giving up, but I’m so tired of the discouragement. I just want 100 sales right now, not even 1000s at this time.

New store: First 30 Days: 20 listings: one posted a day: Zero Sales. 5-20 Pinterest traffic. Need to adjust my content design for sure.
That is great to hear! What prompted you to start your shop?
@@dylanjahraus Funny thing is I’ve always done art. Just didn’t see being able to make a career out of it. My husband bought me a ipencil. That lead to procreate which lead to creating coloring books for KPD which lead to Etsy. I had to get comfortable going from physical to digital. But I saw the endless opportunities and was like hey I can do this. So here we are in the beginning stages. I’m hoping to commit to 2 years. Im testing coloring book pages, coloring bookmarks. 2nd day of ads. Definitely learning a lot.
So far 4 days since I opened the shop and I've done 0 sales.
