I've been doing a lot of etsy research and analyzing stores, I don't have much start up cash, so was thinking about starting with digital products generating stuff with AI. Also considering POD, which do you think would have the fastest returns with the least start up headaches?
Another question, I see a lot of people kind of gaming the system with fake prices, I'm sure you know what I mean. is that something I should utilize or is it bad for the algo?
If your startup budget is low, digital products are usually the fastest and cheapest way to start. But AI-generated items are usually not a good idea if you don’t have a very specific and niche idea,
As for “fake prices” thing: you can do it. It will give you a short term boost, After that you can price your products slightly higher and use legitimate discounts for example, doubling the price and offering a 50% discount so you attract attention without breaking any rules.
How to do fake buy?
Is there a tools?
Or service provider who does this?
For fake buys and reviews, I have a partner who handles that aspect. Regarding boosting Etsy metrics there wasn’t any all in one tool available before but we’ve now built our own software that consolidates all of these strategies into a single system, which I actively use for my own stores.
There’s no public tool or service I can recommend for this. It is extremely risky if you don’t fully understand the system of the person you work with for this tools 99% of this service providers rely on bots for these tasks!
Are you still looking for joint venture partners? Or perhaps to mentor someone? If so please DM me as I am very interested.
I am always open to joint venture partnerships with serious sellers who are ready to take action.
Do you think can we make some profit with this method using just free traffic ? As i am not experienced with paid ads
Yes! But growth will be slower, Free traffic works best if you’re consistent and patient.
What type of proxies do you recommend for managing two or more accounts?
Residential Proxies
Thank you for sharing this!
It looks like a dream. You say that digital products are still legit now? In your opinion, is it possible to earn $1000 - per month with digital products if the store is freshly new? Is there a tactics you can suggest for the beginner in terms of niche research? Also may be you can be a mentor and help to create a store from scratch to first profit, for %? Best regards!
There isn’t as much correlation between a store being new and its sales as most people think. A few months ago, we had a brand-new Etsy store focused only on digital products generating $1–2k per week.
As I’ve always said, one of the most important factors is using the right tools correctly to boost the algorithm. Optimization, traffic-boosting strategies, and proper use of these tools often matter more than how long the store has been open.
could you please let us know if you use some paid 'etsy add to cart' service?
Yes, I do use but I only work with trusted methods and systems that I personally control for my own stores, which keeps it much safer. (stay away from anyone who relies on bots for this systems)
Hi,
Great to see your success! A few times, you mentioned that you are doing fake but organic sales with reviews. We are also interested to push the sales within US market, maybe you could PM or share here the providers you are using?
Of course, there are some providers on BHW offering these services, but we are struggling with the shipping issue. Since we know that Etsy tracks shipping as well, could you elaborate on how you solved the shipping issue with fake purchases? Do you ship empty packages to specific addresses to ensure they receive the status delivered?
Appreciate any tips!
For fake purchases, sending an empty package to the address is enough to register it as delivered. No need for anything complicated.
If We have LLC in USA, then money will be safely deposited in our USA Bank Accounts
Then from that USA Account we can transfer the money to Indian Bank Account, why we need anti detect browser and proxy?
You need to be careful when accessing your USA bank account from abroad. Logging into a US bank from an Indian IP without precautions will likely flag your bank account and may prevent the transaction.
That’s why using a proxy+anti detect browser OR a VDS located in the US is recommended when managing your US Bank and Etsy account remotely. It ensures your login looks normal to the bank and reduces the risk of blocks or flags. (Same thing for etsy too)
Love how transparent you’re being with your journey, this is super motivating!
Thanks! I’m just sharing what actually works and what I’ve experienced no hype, no fluff. Glad it’s motivating for you!
Hey bro!
After reading about your experience with Etsy, I felt super excited, like it was happening to me too! I can't wait to hear more about your success.
So, here’s the thing: my country isn’t supported by Etsy for payments, and it’s not even listed as one of the countries Etsy allows to start a shop with Payoneer. I was thinking about opening an LLC in the US, but honestly, it’s out of my budget for now. Do you know of any other ways to get started with an Etsy shop?
Happy to hear you’re excited, it’s always motivating to see others eager to start.
About your situation, it really depends on your country. If you can tell me which country you’re in, I can give you more specific advice on how to get started with Etsy.
I'm also interested in Etsy. However, I've heard that creating a legit Etsy account is quite difficult and that accounts often get reviewed or suspended for random reasons. Do you have any advice?
Honestly, opening an Etsy account is quite easy and faster compared to other platforms. As for suspensions, you really don’t need to worry as long as you follow the rules.
First of all, thank you so much for this thread like you've said you are filling the gap of informative etsy related questions on here that we have been missing. Not sure if you're still online on here, but are you still up for the joint ventures? I've got a store running right now that I wouldn't mind splitting.
Thank you. I’m back online now and will be spending more regular time here.
I’m always open to joint ventures and
collaborations, so feel free to share details if you’re genuinely interested.
The best thread i have read in a long time!!
As an etsy seller that focuses on digital products and have over 190 sales. The advice here is gold!!
I also do fake sales + review, but the add to cart method is entirely new to me
Who do you use for add to cart method?
Can you send me the link to the Fiverr person that you use for pinterest?
Thank you for inspiring me to carry on my Etsy journey!!
Glad to hear the thread is helping you! It’s great to see a etsy seller with sales it shows you’re doing things right!
For the add to cart method, I personally handle it with my partner using a custom system I built for my own stores, so I don’t use any public Fiverr service or public service providers for my shops.
Great, thanks for sharing.
I see there is a question that many people are interested in but you have not answered, that is how to create an etsy account without being suspended? My account was suspended right after the first order, I created it with my information, using 5G network, the product is also designed by myself, not copied from anywhere.
And another question is, in your opinion, what digital product niche is potential to sell on etsy?
Thank you, hope to receive an answer from you.
There isn’t a single answer to why accounts get suspended on Etsy it can happen for many reasons, From my experience, most first order suspensions are usually caused by mistakes made when setting up the store.
How profitable are digital products? id assume the margins are great but what about demand? and how much do you make off of each digital sale?
Demand for digital products is quite highOn etsy. Most digital stores that successfull I’ve seen generate around $2–5k in profit per month. For one of my stores, we were averaging about $2k in profit per week.
Margins are perfect since there are no production or shipping costs, making digital products very profitable when executed “CORRECTLY”.
So based on order avg you are selling a $1000 product on there?
The products I sell currently range from $500 to $3,500 each, depending on the item and customization.
