Say yes more, say no less. Understand that when you are arguing and have relationship problems, there are 6 of you in the room, not 2. (You, her, her mum, her dad, your mum, your dad). Get to know who you really are, people think they know themselves, but they do not. Say "I can do this" to...

You make a VIP membership club, when you make a sale you get them opted in there and then, and you also put a card in your packaging with the VIP membership club details. Make a tempting offer, and set a limit of entry to your club (scarcity) and depending on your morals stick to it or don't...

Thanks very much for your kind words, I appreciate it. To answer your questions: 1 The sellers you mention simply have not been caught yet. Etsy is spending $50 million dollars this year on buyer/seller customer service, part of that is policing their site better. Expect a TON of shops to...

Hi, either get someone you trust to open the store in the approved list of countries for you, or get a remote desktop connection to a computer that is in an approved country, and then set up the account with banking and address details in that country. Once you have been banned once, you will...

Awesome, well done!

Always custom products, but you have to make sure you understand stock depth and quality score to maximize the potential. IE, you list a stock depth of more than 50 per item, you understand you aren't selling 50 in one day, but you also understand that is how quality score is made, constant...

Bumping for the US crowd, get your questions in people!

I'm bumping this, but also giving whoever reads this comment a gold nugget to take action on. If you want to sell digital downloads on Etsy, one of the highest performing in terms of profit/demand and low competition is: Shopify Templates. They are literally a gold mine, and I know this...

Hi, and thanks for your question, please see the below: Hi, SEO is THE most misunderstood aspect of running an Etsy store. There is a mass hysteria around Etsy SEO fuelled by all the BS youtube Etsy Guru's who are affiliated to Marmalead, Erank, Sale Samurai and Alura. They all want you to...

Send me a trial, I have a number of Etsy clients asking me about this service, and I need to give them my thoughts and opinion. Thanks.

A physical product store on average for Etsy sellers is going to be far more successful, based on my 8 years experience. You can take the word success any way you would like. What do I get in return? 1 No, 100k revenue earning stores. 2 I've never seen these guys before, but I can tell you...

Hi, and thanks for your question. Yes, sellers can get banned but not because of printful directly, but because of the copyright infringing material they put on the t shirts that they sell through printful. The other reason, as you have mentioned, is due to not disclosing the POD site as a...

Hi, and thanks for your question. Yes, I use POD myself (Printful) with Etsy, and work with plenty of Etsy stores that also use POD. I do not work with, or use sites like redbubble, I concentrate on Etsy.

Thanks for your questions dude, to answer: 1 It does not matter what you choose, just make sure you plan for a big store and get to understand inventory management. Also sell things people want to buy, NOT what you want to make/supply. 2 Physical 3 They will care, so make your products your...

Yes, I am interested in your skills. Can you apply this to Etsy? Its not hard to do, I just don't have time and my staff are maxed out. DM me your details and I will reach out to you if all looks OK, thanks!
