in the last two weeks I created a
completely new Etsy shop selling digital
downloads specifically canva templates
and it took me more than 12 hours to
create this new shop from doing the
market research to making the template
and finally having my first listing
uploaded I did get suspended in the
middle of it and it took five business
days for my new shop to be unsuspended
so I'll talk about the suspension part
more in this video I screen recorded
every single step that I took when
making this new Etsy shop from doing the
market research to making the actual
template and how I'm uploading
everything so if you want to learn how
to start an Etsy shop from scratch and
you don't even have an idea of what you
want to do I will show you everything in
this video to give you a bit of
background this is the second Etsy shop
that I've started this one is the first
Etsy shop that I started in October of
last year so it has been eight months of
me having this Etsy shop and this is the
Etsy shop I share about in all of my
monthly update videos for my first shop
I didn't share what my shop is on
YouTube because I don't want you guys
clicking into the shop messing with the
conversion rates and I also mainly
wanted to see if I could be successful
starting an Etsy shop and not doing any
social media promotion and just keeping
everything within Etsy and getting sales
through Etsy SEO and I did so my first
shop made more than 3 000 Canadian
dollars and because the shop is not
public I always get questions from you
guys on how exactly I'm getting my sales
how I'm designing everything and so I
thought that I would create a second
shop to show you everything you will be
able to find my shop on Etsy so I posted
a little snippet of this chart that I
have and a lot of you actually said that
you want this so I will create a link in
the video description where you can get
access to this thing and I guess you can
use it as a checklist of what to do for
when you start your Etsy shop so with
the second shop that I'm creating I
really wanted it to be a legit Etsy Shop
like something I could actually see
myself selling and not just because I
want to make this YouTube video to show
you how to start an Etsy shop so I took
this very seriously and you can see the
market research part took me five hours
but then I also spent 30 minutes
watching how to use market research
tools so this is a legit shop that I
have created I put in 100 of my effort
and also when I designed the template
and I made the like listing photos and
the listing video and when I'm uploading
everything I've taken this 100 seriously
because I want to show you the quality
of the stuff that I'm making because the
quality of the second shop that I'm
creating is the same quality of the
stuff that I've created in my first shop
which I would say has been successful so
far and made three thousand dollars
however I know that because a lot of you
will be looking at my shop the
conversion rate is gonna be really
really low and I've taken that into
consideration I think it for me is just
like a fun idea for me to show you how I
do things because you always ask me so
many questions and I wish I could show
you but I don't want to reveal my first
Etsy shop so I made the second one so
let's talk about the market research
that I did first I actually used four
market research tools I used everbe
sales Samurai
Etsy hunt and e-rank for everbe and
sales Samurai those two companies
actually reached out to me way earlier
this year wanting for me to try out
their market research tools so I
actually got their premium plans for
free and I just started using them when
I was making the second Etsy shop I do
have affiliate links in my video
description if you do want to check out
everbe and sales Samurai I would say
right now I haven't used both of them to
the full extent that I can so I can't
give a opinion on how much I like these
market research tools but if you do want
to check them out you can go to my video
description and use my link also with
sales Samurai you can get 20 off and
I've included the code below with
everbee there is a basic free plan so
that's why there's no discount code with
e-rank and Etsy hunt I actually bought
them myself those companies did not
reach out to me I just wanted to try out
some different market research tools and
so that's why I tried out four in total
there are more market research tools out
there but like four is already a lot and
I thought it would be cool to to see how
each one of them Works in terms of
market research so the first thing I did
was I watched market research tools on
YouTube about everbee and sales Samurai
because those were the two that I had
initially I spent 30 minutes on this and
usually I watched videos that are two
times the speed and I thought okay I'm
just gonna watch 30 minutes and then
play with this myself the first thing I
thought I would do before even doing any
market research on Etsy is to actually
brain dump all the things that I'm
interested in because here's the thing I
think that when you are choosing your
Niche it's so important for you to
choose something that either you have
interest in it or two you have some kind
of experience in it so for me I wrote
down there are things that I'm
interested in things that I have
experienced in so then what I would do
is go into Etsy and go through each of
the things that I brain dumped and look
at the market research tools so this one
is ever be and here's the extension
forever B this one is Etsy hunt and then
this one is sales Samurai so at first I
started using sales Samurai so I clicked
on 500 more and you can see the search
volume and competition so this is search
volume per month this is how much
competition there is per month so if
it's just notebook it's a lot it's a lot
of competition and from the YouTube
videos that I watch apparently what
you're trying to look for is high search
volume and low competition so like for
example this one has like 3 000 search
volume but the competition is like 400
000 so that's like I would not do that
but first looking for something more
specific so for example one of the
things I found was IVF Journal let's see
if it has that filter actually let's
just search IVF let's just search ibf
journal and see what comes up
and click this one IVF
so let's take a look at the search
volume and competition
so like this one would be really good
like this has high search volume so 3000
and the competition is really low it's
600. so apparently what we're looking
for is if this number and this number
are similar or if this number is smaller
than this number then it's good I do
think if the competition is higher than
this number by a little bit it could be
okay as well depending on like what
people are actually selling you have to
take a look at your competitors stuff so
I did this for all the ideas that I had
in my brain dump and you can see me
looking through this one is I had an
idea to find Airbnb stuff and then I
think under the Airbnb stuff I saw
something for toilet so then I started
searching for toilet so this is how you
can go down the rabbit hole of looking
for things you just search for one thing
look at what's there look at what has
what has low competition and then you
just keep on searching and searching and
searching and then if you don't want to
search anymore on that topic just pick
one of the other stuff that you have in
your brain dump so here I love kombucha
I actually used to make my own kombucha
so that's why I searched for kombucha
stuff because when I used to make
kombucha I would like make labels for my
kombucha so I thought maybe there are
people who are looking for kombucha
things okay here and then let me pause
this for a sec you'll see that now I'm
starting to use everbee so let me show
you with ever beeps so if you just
search something let's just search IVF
journal and then if we go to product
analysis we can look at all the products
in this category and apparently what I
learned from all those YouTube videos
that I watched is you can sort for
monthly sales or monthly revenue and see
which shop is or yes which product is
making most sales and then look at the
products so I clicked into the ultimate
IVF journal and then I can take a look
at this one there are some numbers here
for like estimated sales and monthly
Revenue I did actually wonder if these
are correct so I actually plugged my
first Etsy Shop into everv to check and
it's not that accurate
um and then I was just curious about why
it's not that accurate so I did a bit of
Googling and obviously Etsy doesn't
release the monthly sales numbers right
you can only see how much competition
there is and how much
search volume so that's what Etsy can
show you so on every B's website it says
Etsy doesn't share sales data with
anyone so we built a smart algorithm
that uses data such as views reviews
listing history and more to make
estimates and this is basically what
every single market research tool says
like they cannot get actual Etsy sales
data so they have to make an estimate so
that's why you'll find that when you're
looking at different market research
tools you'll find that you might think
that is not accurate and it's true it is
not accurate and in every single market
research tool might have a different
result or a different like estimated
sales number and that's just how it is
and that's because these companies can't
get actual sales data from Etsy so they
have to use their own algorithms to
estimate it themselves so that's why I
thought it would be useful to use
multiple market research tools but I
also think that you can do market
research just without using market
research tools if you are confident in
your niche so when I made my first shop
I didn't even use any market research
tools I just was confident in my Niche
and the niche did do well and that's why
I made sales because sometimes we're a
really really small Niche there is no
data on these market research tools like
they're not going to show that there are
people searching for this item because
it's so Niche but let's say even every
single month if 10 people are searching
for that product and if you're like one
of the only ones that is making that
product then you will get sales and this
is partly the reason why my first Etsy
Shop is doing well so when I was doing
market research I first used everbee and
sales Samurai and then later on I bought
Etsy hunt and e-rank just because I was
curious to see what other market
research tools were like and because I
saw that the results for everbee and
sales Samurai they weren't always the
same so I was like maybe instead of
using two market research tools I should
use three or four so I clicked some of
them that I was interested in and I
looked for ones where the search volume
is is lower ish and then the competition
is like lower ish so for example I would
say this one is lower ish like Etsy
descriptions template search volume 124
competition 253 I know this is like two
times the amount of this but I would say
this is still okay and I feel like I
could get into this so you'll also
notice that throughout this entire
process I have this word document it's
my brain Word document but I also take
notes on all the stuff that like I found
like for example some ideas after doing
the market research I found like I could
do things related to virtual assistant
or CFO resume template or I even search
like teacher things like classroom stuff
like baby shower things deodorant label
template so when you are doing your
market research
like my notes are super super scattered
and messy and that's okay you don't have
to like organize everything super well
just take notes on stuff and then you
can always come back one thing I was
definitely interested was Etsy listing
templates so I would do some market
research then I would take a look at
what people are actually selling so you
can see here I'm like looking at what
people are selling I'm clicking using
the everbe Chrome extension to see how
many sales people are getting but do
remember that the sales data is
estimated here I'm looking at sales
Samurai again and looking at I basically
look at the list of stuff to see if I I
can like have new ideas and if I can
find things that have low competition so
then I found this other Niche and it's
whiskey labels I think in general a
niche that I found was product labels
and so now I'm researching whiskey label
and for this one I'm taking a look at
everbee so everybody has a similar thing
as sales Samurai where where they give
you the search volume and the
competition but then ever be all also
gives you a keyword score which I
believe is I think it's this thing
divided by that thing okay yeah it is
search volume divided by competing
listings times one thousand so basically
if the keyword score is higher that
means there is more search volume than
there is competition so it's a good
thing so you're looking for the keyword
score being higher like 77 is better
than the nine that you have here so I
think in sales Samurai I found that the
deodorant label template was actually
there was some search volume and then
really really low competition but then
you can see with ever be that like
basically it says there's like nothing
and then uh the keyword score doesn't
even compute it because I think this is
so Niche and I actually think this is a
really good Niche you can totally steal
this idea by the way but the thing is
with really small niches sometimes with
market research tools I find that they
just can't compute the data because the
niche is so small so this is where if
you have experience in this and industry
then it's really useful so now I'm doing
some more research on labels I thought
about wine labels maybe wine labels
weddings oh yeah I did I did search for
like what is actually the keyword score
by the way if you're confused like I
have a video playing of the entire
process that this is like all screen
recorded of me doing the actual keyword
research when I was actually doing it in
the past one and a half weeks so then
the other idea I had was Etsy listing
photos camera templates and do you know
why I thought about this idea it's
because in my previous videos like I
made a demo video on how to make Etsy
listing templates and a lot of you guys
wanted it a lot of you joined my email
list because you want something like
this like you don't know how to make
listing photos so you wanted a template
and so I made that template and I
thought oh my gosh there's a huge demand
for this and that's why I had the idea
that maybe I could sell these on Etsy so
that's why I started looking into it so
you can see I was looking into it I'll
tell you what my conclusion was later on
but you can see that like I'm looking at
stuff and then I go back and forth
between different ideas that I have so
here I'm looking at soap labels and I'm
just gonna skip a little bit oh yeah
another thing was roller bottle label
template like super Niche stuff
then I would look at actual listings and
look at the sales people are getting
take a look at their actual products and
then what I started to do was I had two
good ideas of things I could do so that
was the Etsy listing photos and that was
the product labels like the deodorant
labels soap labels so I was actually so
conflicted I was like I don't know what
I should do I think this was probably
maybe one or two hours into my market
research out of the five hours that I
spent maybe two hours and so I made a
table with the good and the bad of each
one so I could kind of put my thoughts
down on paper and so I could make a
decision on what Niche to pick because
the niche is actually really important
your essay job is based on this Niche
you need to pick a good Niche or else
you may not make any sales if you pick a
niche that is too saturated but it's not
just about whether or not there's low
competition or if it's saturated like
you can see that with the stuff that I'm
typing a lot of it is about whether I
have experience doing that how easy it
is how hard it is so with the Etsy
listing photos the good things were I
already know how to make them because I
make them for my own shop right and I
know there's demand like you guys were
signing up for my free template there's
also the possibility of you guys buying
my product that was actually a something
like I considered because I knew that I
would share this shop publicly so I
thought maybe I should make an Etsy shop
where my subscribers can buy my things
because this is just going to be like a
test shop right I don't know if I'm
actually gonna work on this shop as hard
as I am working on my first shop so I
thought maybe this could be a like an
offering that I have for my subscribers
so I did take that into consideration
and then the good thing is a lot of the
competitors they don't show examples of
how you could use it and they don't like
actually plug in
um like their templates into these
mock-ups and then something else I
realized was my competition they have
like ugly listing photos covers and I
thought maybe I can design better for
this one I thought I could realistically
do this myself but the bad thing is
there is actually a lot of competition
and a lot of pages it's like really
really low price like I think I saw some
that were like five dollars or ten
dollars and they have 60 pages of these
templates and so I thought it's just not
worth my time it might not be worth my
time to make all these it's just gonna
take me so long and then the price is so
low and then for the other one the
product labels idea that I had the good
thing was the designs are simple like it
could just be one or two pages on canva
and then I could sell it for like a
couple bucks five bucks 10 bucks so way
easier to design than the Etsy listing
photos canva templates so that is good
and I did find some Niche products like
lip balm and deodorant product labels
the bad thing and the hardest thing the
probably the biggest challenge I thought
I would have is finding the mock-ups to
do for the products because I would be
let's say for example I'm making a lip
balm canva template like a label for a
lip balm I would then need to find a
photo of a lip balm so that I can put
the label on the lip balm and like I
would have to find a mock-up photo for
every single product that I do like lip
balm deodorant soap candle and to me
that just seemed like so much work
another bad thing is I'm not familiar
with like packaging sizes and what
actually goes into the design of some of
these labels like I've never made my own
beauty products before so I would have
to research sizes inches like if I'm
making a sample deodorant label I would
have to research deodorant ingredients
right so I can make a sample of what it
looks like so that to me seemed like
it's gonna take a lot of time and for
each product I would have to do the
research again like for deodorant for
lip balm let's say I do like a perfume
label or something like I would have to
do a law of research and all of these
products have different sizes I'm taking
a look at what is selling well for
people looking into their actual
products and just seeing like and just
thinking to myself could I actually make
something like this is this really
realistic for me and how much time is
this going to take and also taking into
consideration how much knowledge I have
about these things okay right here I'm
like looking at resume stuff I think I
saw something probably when I was doing
research on the listing photos I saw
something about resumes oh and then when
I was looking at the resumes I found
something about obituaries and funerals
so then I was researching obituaries and
funeral stuff and I actually think this
is a really good Niche it's I would say
it's similar to weddings like the type
of canva templates you can sell compared
to the wedding Niche like the funeral
Niche it's kind of like the same kind of
designs because you have like
invitations to go to funerals and you
have the what's it called like the
program for obituaries but for sure like
the obituary and funeral Niche is way
smaller than the wedding Niche that's
why I was looking into it because I
thought you know these things
realistically I could design these in my
word document I created another section
for obituary canva templates I actually
was really really considering doing
obituary canva templates and I think
when I was researching a lot of them
they looked very old-fashioned and a lot
of them they were also designed on core
I don't know how to pronounce it cordial
and template like it's not canva they
were using like another graphic design
website and so I was wondering maybe
there are people who would want to get
like a canva template instead of a
cordial or template template so the good
things were a lot of the competitors
like they're designs look outdated like
I didn't see a lot of really modern ones
that I personally liked and I thought
they were easy to make I thought okay I
could probably maybe use my maximum ad
spend because there's a lot of search
volume so because there's a lot of
search volume then maybe I could do more
ads I thought it was would be easy to do
mock-ups like the obituaries compared to
the product labels the obituaries would
be way easier because it's just paper
right it's not like a deodorant bottle I
don't know if maybe canva is harder to
use than these ones I would have to
research all of these ones as well the
bad thing and I think this is the main
thing that made me not want to do this
one is I don't like the idea of just
making funeral related things for my
shop I do think this is a really really
great Niche with a lot of opportunity
but I personally just don't want to do
that and another thing I saw was a lot
of the shops had so many listings like
so many like a hundred obituary
templates eats and so another another
thing I was considering was maybe I
would have to have a lot of volume like
I would have to I would have to turn out
these listings to be successful oh for
the obituaries I did look at Niche or
things like funeral template cancer
maybe people are looking for specific
things if that person passed away from
cancer oh and then at this point I
started to use e-rank so I signed up for
the free version and that's why you see
here there's upgrade that's because I
didn't pay yet so I just started using
it and then I was searching the I was
searching for everything again like I
was searching the labels the Etsy
listing photos
obituaries as well it shows similar
stuff like searches
um the competition so obviously you
would look for the competition where it
has green
I was looking at wedding stuff the
funerals and you can see like when I do
market research it's all over the place
like this is what I was actually doing
when I was doing market research I would
look at one market research tool then I
would go into Etsy and look at the
actual products then I would go look at
market research tools then go look at
the products then you just like keep
going and going going that's why I ended
up spending like five hours on my market
research so just keep looking oh did you
see that did you see that that was when
I found the sorority resume template so
let's go back there so I was in e-rank
here and then I was scrolling and
scrolling I think this one was when I
was searching for wedding stuff maybe I
should I don't know what I was searching
for oh I was searching for deodorant
deodorant label template I somehow was
scrolling down and down and then I found
sorority resume template which I found
oh my gosh look this is so low and
resumes are something that I did put on
my brain dump like it's something I was
actually interested I I think I'm pretty
good at writing resumes like when I
graduated from University I only applied
for one full-time job with my resume and
cover letter and I got it that was the
government job that I had the one that I
worked for uh for two years so then I
started looking into sorority resume
templates and I'm just like looking at a
lot of different things looking at how
people are selling it so I just kept
looking at stuff and using the market
research tools at the same time and okay
you can see with the ever be that the
sorority resume template search volume
was 157 competition is high ish but then
the keyword score is 69 but then
remember on e-rank the competition was
really low so that's the thing when you
use multiple market research tools it
might give you like conflicting things
so that's why I was checking on all the
market research tools and also looking
at Etsy myself to see could I actually
make better designs than these other
people first I had the idea to do
sorority stuff and I was like okay what
about the resume
Market in general so then I started
looking at different resume stuff you
can see what I'm doing here then I go
back to looking at sorority stuff
because I think that is the best idea
and then I look at sales Samurai okay so
and then we can see here with sales
Samurai the search volume is one one
five one remember with every B it was
like 100 something and the competition
was like 2 000 so the competition is the
same but then with sales Samurai the
search volume is 1000 so it is different
with different market research tools
that's why I think it's good to use
multiple but I don't think you need like
four of them you can you can pick which
one you want to use later on I did
actually upgrade my e-rank and then I
bought Etsy hunt as well so you'll see
that later on in this video so you can
see here I'm just like it's all over the
place like I'm looking at sorority stuff
I'm looking at resume stuff then I had
the idea that maybe I could do
internship resumes because I wasn't
intern when I was in university so I
know how to write an intro ship resumes
I was thinking about what I could do and
what I have experience in so then I
looked at resume template 4 and see what
comes up like resume template for Mom I
looked at other stuff or you can just
try different characters
what comes up
just looking for different kinds of
ideas okay so at this point I decided to
upgrade my e-rank so I got the 599 per
month plan and then I also decided to
get Etsy hunt so with Etsy hunt there is
a Chrome extension and then I got the
399 per month plan it's very affordable
and I'll show you what the Chrome
extension looks like so when you search
for stuff this is what Etsy hunt looks
like the views and the competition I
think this views is like an aggregate
it's like not per month I forgot what it
is but it is not the same as search
volume okay and then this one is the
everbee and then this one loading here
is sales Samurai every single time that
I get a new market research tool I kind
of just like take a look at what's
inside so with Etsy hunt here I'm just
looking at what things I can do oh I
haven't upgraded yet so I signed up for
the free plan then I actually upgraded
my Etsy hunt this is ever B I was
looking at sorority resume template then
I was looking at e-rank I was comparing
the everbee and e-rank results for the
same search term so with ever be the
average searches per month was three
thousand you can see this is three
thousand and then the Etsy competition
it was like two thousand so the search
data from everbee
um and e-rank is not the same because if
you go back and look at the ever B one
it's 157 for the search volume
competition is like the same but I don't
know if why ever be an e-rank this stuff
is not the same but I think all market
research tools there's going to be
different numbers yeah and I think it's
just because of the way that their
algorithm works or how they collect the
data I don't know I think it is useful
to use multiple market research tools
don't just use one of them okay okay
just to give you like perspective if you
don't want to spend money to buy market
research tools the market research to do
at the very beginning the one you do at
the very very beginning when you are
deciding your Niche like I spent a good
five hours deciding on my Niche for you
like like I think finding your Niche is
the most important thing that you're
gonna do at the start of starting your
Etsy shop and so I think it it is so
worth it to invest in market research
tools like Etsy hunt was like I think it
was 399 e-rank was 5.99 I think everbe
might be the most expensive 30 a month
and then I think sales Samurai might be
ten dollars or something so if you add
everything in total like obviously you
don't have to get four market research
tools like I did but even having at
least two of them I think is really
useful you could sign up for all of
these and there's also other market
research tools like marmalade and maybe
there's one more but the only other one
I can think of is marmalade which I
haven't tried but I know that's another
one I would like get all the market
research tools they always have like
some kind of a free version and then you
can see what you like and then you can
upgrade the ones that you want to try
out but even if you get all of them so
that's like 30 plus 10 to 40 let's say
around 50 is gonna spend fifty dollars
in this one month on Market Research
tools and maybe let's say you get
marmalade to I have no idea how much
marmalade is but maybe it's let's say
it's ten dollars you can spend let's say
60 on Market Research tools and because
there's nothing else you need to really
invest into for your Etsy shop at the
beginning like this this 60 is actually
really really worth it because after
this one month you don't need four
market research tools anymore if you're
just going to use the market research
tools to do your keyword research to for
SEO purposes I think you you might not
even need any of them but maybe like
keep one or two of them you don't need
all four or all five so at the beginning
I think it does really make sense to
invest in market research tools because
you're gonna spend sixty dollars right
and potentially in one year how much do
you want to make in your one year on
Etsy okay let's say ten thousand dollars
twenty thousand dollars thirty thousand
dollars sixty dollars is really nothing
when it comes to a business expense so I
don't understand when people don't want
to pay for market research tools like
have confidence in yourself okay that
you can make it back you will make the
sixty dollars back so anyways what I
started to do was I kept researching the
sorority resume templates with all the
market research tools I started looking
at like different kinds of products and
I'm just gonna skip forward a bit and
take a look at yeah so I was looking at
here I'm looking at e-rank so when you
start using a new market research tool
you don't obviously you don't know how
to use it right so that's why when I
have a question let's let's say for
e-rank I wasn't even sure what the what
some of the numbers meant like average
click so then I would search like what
is that in e-rank so I found average
searches is the average monthly searches
it's based on Etsy data the average
clicks it's based on Etsy I would have
to like Google things to learn how to
use market research tools or I would
like watch YouTube videos on how to use
the market research tools Yeah so
basically I was looking at the sorority
resume template and I figured that this
is actually a really really good Niche
every single market research will I mean
they are they do similar things but like
e-rank has the has Google's and I think
Etsy hunt has Google stuff too maybe
sales Samurai does too I was like
browsing e-rank because I didn't really
know what it could do okay so then I was
looking at the same thing on Etsy hunt
so we're already resume template oh yeah
what what is the views there total
number of views for the top 100 listings
ranking for this keyword based on real
data from Etsy yeah so this number is
not the same as like the search volume
per month it's like another uh metric
that Etsy Hunt is using just total
number of views for the top 100 listing
so I don't know to be honest this number
is kind of hard for me to grasp I would
have to take a look at a lot of other
listings and probably probably look at
the Search terms for my first Etsy shop
to see what does this number actually
mean like I have no idea what this 34
million means but the good thing is you
can see right away that the competition
is low for this search term and this is
interesting you can see the like Trend
result which is really interesting
because for sororities I know there's
like a recruitment period it should
Trend up and down like throughout the
year oh yeah I searched how to use Etsy
hat yeah because like I just don't
really have don't know how to use it and
then here I'm going back searching for
resume stuff because I could make a
sorority Rosemary template but then I
also want to Branch out right into the
resume Niche and here I'm just seeing
what else can I create
oh yeah did you see what I did there
this is the trick I can't remember where
I learned this it was in somebody
somebody's YouTube video but basically
if you want to see the best sellers on
the Etsy website you go to all filters
you click for Star seller click star
seller apply
then the link here you would change the
star seller part to best so change that
to instead of star put best seller and
then now you can see like the
best-selling listing so then I was
looking at this listings open it it in
ever be and I just keep doing it and
keep doing it keep looking for ideas and
trying to validate this Niche and see if
it is realistic for me to do it and then
a lot of the times I'm just thinking
like these look so amazing like this
resume template I would buy this and use
it as my own resume it's really pretty
and I was so I was thinking yes maybe I
did find a good Niche like I could start
off with sorority resumes but the resume
Niche is really like there's a lot of
really good products out there already
and look at the mock-ups okay this is
like beautiful okay I was thinking can I
actually make something that is
competitive with this these kinds of
products oh yeah this part is Etsy hunt
so it is useful you can see with the
tags I believe everybody can see tags as
well uh with sales Samurai you can can
see it takes as well but you have to go
into like their back end do not quote me
on this like if you guys use market
research tools everything I'm saying
about these market research tools take
it with a grain of salt I have not used
these for very long so I'm not familiar
with these market research tools at all
but I do think in general it is very
helpful okay so another thing I was
looking at in general is like for
resumes this listing had you have the
Google Doc template then you have the
Microsoft Word template and you have to
do a US letter and A4 and this person
had like a lot of bonuses so I'm like oh
my gosh with resumes a lot of the
resumes on Etsy you have to do a lot you
have to make Microsoft Word Google Docs
you know so I was like oh my God it's
it's going to be a lot of work so I was
like thinking about those things but I
was specifically thinking about doing
canva templates for resumes so the good
part about resumes is just like one or
two pages it's not like 60 Pages uh like
the Etsy listings photos I did find and
some Niche things and I also have
experience writing good resumes and
cover letters then there are less canva
resume templates so I saw a lot of like
word google doc ones but not a lot of
canva ones so I think that is an
opportunity for me in this Niche and a
lot of the resume templates they have
like lorem ipsum which I hate I hate
lorem ipsum so I feel like I could make
some resume templates with actual sample
text the bad things there is a lot of
competition in general and a lot of the
competition they have like bonus stuff
and some of the competition they have
canva and Google Docs and word which I
cannot do like I'm not making three
things okay and I'm not doing us learn
A4 is too much work another good thing
is like the career Niche is really big
for example there's other stuff in the
curvier niche like there was like job
tracker and stuff like that and job
description template so if I find that
later on resume templates are not a good
Niche then I could Branch out more into
career related stuff yeah so I did find
like job trackers there's like job
estimate template a flight attendant I
was looking at flight attendant resumes
okay this part okay
so I I think this is like at the end of
the five hours like I finally felt like
okay I have a couple of options this is
sometimes like what you have to do in
the end where you have to make a
decision on what to do you can't keep
doing market research right you can't
keep doing market research for months
and not starting your Etsy Shop you've
got to start somewhere you can always
pivot later but for me I was like okay I
think I've done enough market research
in these five hours this is enough for
me to get a good sense of some potential
things that I could do and so I jotted
down like how do I really feel so what I
wrote was the Etsy listing templates
it's too many too much work too many
pages funeral templates I just don't
want to make those the product labels I
just have no experience and the resume
templates I actually concluded that this
was the best choice for me it's
realistic it's only like one or two
pages I have experience doing this I
thought it would be fun I could like
live vicariously through my research on
different careers that I wanted to do or
like these careers seem fun but I didn't
do it like like I've always wanted to
work at a coffee shop but I've never
done that so maybe I'll make a barista
resume like it's kind of fun and then
I've always wanted to be a flight
attendant but I just never did it other
things like creative stuff oh wouldn't
it be fun to be a chef why don't I make
a chef resume that's what I decided to
do I decided to stick with resume
templates for my next Etsy shop and this
is my plan so I need to open it make the
shop Banner logo do the policies and
everything and then make the first
product which is sorority resume
templates okay and then I want to share
with you some real thoughts that I had
after I came up with my plan and after I
decided on the sorority resume template
idea so like I was resting you're eating
some fruit and I had like all these
thoughts in my head like oh no can I
really do it so competitive will people
buy it will they be confused it's gonna
be a lot of work now I have two shops to
run like what am I gonna do I know for a
lot of you when you start an Etsy Shop
you're also gonna have a lot of thoughts
like this like I'm the same as you like
when I'm starting anything I'm gonna
have a lot of doubts and hesitations and
then my conclusion was I'm just gonna do
it even if it is just for this demo
tutorial for YouTube I'm just going to
make one resume template just make one
resume template open the shop put it in
the shop and even if I don't continue
the shop if I get too burnt out or if I
don't feel like continuing the shop or I
don't know for whatever reason at least
I will have made this demo video for all
of you to see and maybe this will help
you start your Etsy Shop yeah if it
doesn't sell whatever just move on I
will have learned a lot of things so
better canva skills better resume skills
I can give resume advice to friends
because I've looked at hundreds of
resumes right at this point and I can
research like interesting careers and
help people on YouTube just to see my
process if it doesn't go well maybe I
can try something in the career Niche
and see how it goes so at this point I
am on day five of working on this Etsy
shop so the first four days I spent on
Market Research day five I started to
finally design the template oh my god
I've been talking for so long
I've been talking for more than an hour
to film this video give this video a
thumbs up because my throat is really
dry I'm doing this for all of you please
give this a thumbs up the thumbs up if
this is helpful okay so now I'm going to
show you how I started to design the
template so I made a plan of what I'm
gonna do so the first thing I did was
research existing templates make a list
of what to include this is just general
read some blogs of houses were already
higher use existing canva template as a
base to make my own template if you're
curious about my process for designing
an entirely new template from scratch
I'm actually going to create another
video showing you how to do this because
this current video is so long already
and I don't want to spend like one more
hour explaining how I'm designing
everything and at this point I'm pretty
happy with it I decided to finally start
my Etsy shop I created a new Gmail
account for my new Etsy shop but if you
currently don't have an Etsy Shop you
can just use your own Gmail because
right now my email is tied to my other
Etsy count you cannot use the same email
so I had to create a new email I came up
with the name it's Lulu like my name is
Dina Lou the thing is a lot of people
who watch my videos on YouTube try to
find my first Etsy shop so they'll
search Dina Lou Etsy shop in Etsy so
that's why I am using Lulu so people
will not find my shop and be like Dina
you were lying why do you only have one
listing how are you making three
thousand dollars you are a liar that's
why I'm using Lulu you might not know
but you can get 40 free Etsy listings
I'm not going to provide my link because
for my first Shop I actually already
have enough like when you get 40 free
listings I also get 40 free listings I
was getting way too many emails about it
so what you can do so if you all go to
because I want you guys to all help each
other and get 40 free listings you can
give somebody for a free 40 free
listings you can get 40 free listings so
actually if you just search Etsy get 40
free listings then click the one from
Etsy open in your shop and list your
first 40 items for free then this is
going to be your link okay this is your
link for 40 free items that you can give
to anybody when somebody uses your their
link to create the shop oh by the way
you can create your account but don't
open the shop yet it's better if you
don't even I don't know I don't know if
you need an account first but anyways if
you do not have an Etsy account click
somebody's link so you can get 40 free
listings to help out everybody here what
you can do is you actually cannot
comment a link in a YouTube comment so
instead you can just put this code
everybody go look in my YouTube comments
below copy paste the code from somebody
else and then put https colon slash Etsy
dot me slash and then somebody else's
code so you can get 40 free listings
somebody else can get 40 free listings
okay so put that in the comments we can
help out everybody because right now I
already have I already have like 300
free listings in my first shop so I
don't need any more free listings so
here I clicked and got 40 free listings
and Etsy makes you just click a bunch of
stuff so I clicked the stuff finally
started my shop so before I came up with
Lulu creative house I actually had other
ideas like Lulu creative shop or like
Lulu designs like Lulu creative designs
I came up with a bunch of things but in
the end I Googled those names but they
were there were already existing
businesses that have that name nobody
has Lulu creative house so that's why I
decided to name my shop Lulu creative
house okay and then Etsy makes you
upload a listing so I just uploaded I
try to get out of it but I couldn't I
uploaded random things I just like put
in random stuff they just kind of make
you make a listing so I had to put in
random stuff the funny thing is it it
was actually posted you cannot save it
as a draft so I posted my first listing
which was like a random thing later on I
had to go back and unlist that listing
and then Etsy also asks you like other
things like are you an individual are
you a business for me I am a business I
have a Canadian Corporation I I did fill
out all of these things off screen and
then for your shop there's like a bunch
of things you need to add like logo
cover photo policies and stuff like that
so I was like okay mental note I will do
that but I'll do that later I first
wanted to create the shop also when you
create your shop Etsy is going to ask
you to upload documents to verify your
business so make sure you upload those
documents right away I did not upload
those documents right away and then my
shop was suspended and then I actually
uploaded the wrong document I added
something that did not meet the
requirements of proof of my business in
the meantime I was like okay let me
actually make the template and make the
listing photos and stuff like that so I
made a copy of my workspace then I named
it template then usually what I do for
the actual template that the customer
gets I will delete the photos and just
change the name to your name but I'll
keep everything else inside so they have
like a sample I delete the photo just so
it looks more like a template and for
all my templates I always make another
color scheme mostly because for in the
like listing photos it's just nice to
for customers to see another color
scheme so you can see oh hey you can
change the color on canva and you can
make it fit your own branding you can
put your own photo in so that's why I
create two color schemes I came up with
another name Sarah Jamison I put in
another photo
yeah duplicate it
so now I have four pages in my template
I have the resume for Terry Jamison
cover letter Terry Jamison and I have
the Sarah one that is purple so this is
the template that the customer will
actually get when they buy my listing
I'm just changing it to your name so it
just looks like a template the next
thing I'm doing I'm making a PDF
document because when your customer buys
something from you on Etsy and you're
selling a digital product you can add up
to I think I think it's five files but
the thing is you're selling a freaking
canva template you cannot add a canva
template to your Etsy it's not a file
right it's a link to a website so you
need to create a PDF that has the link
to the canva okay this is like not what
I'm actually selling on my first Etsy
shop I made another demo video on how to
upload Etsy listings so this is the demo
PDF that I made so I literally just took
my own demo PDF for a YouTube tutorial
and then now I am changing it up for the
sorority resume template so when I was
working on this like I think this PDF is
actually okay but also I don't have like
a bonus video I don't have another A4
template so then it was like looking
pretty bare so I thought I do not like
the look of this I'm just gonna come up
with another look for this PDF I'm done
except for adding the photos on this
side of it now I'm like okay I'm gonna
make listing photos this is also
something that you can get access to so
I have like a listing photos template
that I made for my YouTube subscribers I
will put a link in the description where
you can download it this is also another
tutorial that I made on how to make
listing photos so this is not what my
actual listing photos look like in my
first shop but I decided I already have
this template that I made for my YouTube
subscribers I'm gonna use it for this
resume thing so I start to plug in
things for the sorority resume oh yeah
before I did that I downloaded all those
images the images for the template with
no photos and your name and the images
from this workspace the ones with the
photos because I'm going to use both of
these in the listing photo photos so I
am just formatting everything let me
explain something so I started doing
this I started I added like a title and
stuff I put the cover letter and the
resume there but then I went to look at
how other people format their listing
photos and for most of them I noticed
that they don't really write resume on
it like they literally just have a photo
of the resume and it's most of them are
not like a full page resume they only
put two-thirds of the resume and I think
this looks pretty good I thought okay
I'm gonna do that too so then I thought
I'm gonna scrap this I am not going to
put a title anymore I'm actually going
to just put the resume itself okay so
then I thought okay let me just put the
resume but what should I do with the
cover letter so I just like move things
around do that this is pretty much what
I came up with to make the cover letter
smaller and to highlight the actual
resume that is in the end what I came up
with and I thought
um add a squiggly line maybe the
background looks kind of empty I'm just
gonna see if I can make the background
look nicer like your product could be
really good but if you're listing photos
suck then you're not going to get sales
so I thought okay this is like pretty
much what it looks like okay then I
start making the other listing photos
after this video if you want to learn
more about how I make listing photos
watch my listing photos tutorial I also
show you how I make the video you can
see this is why I have like another
color scheme because I want to show
people that yes you can customize it to
fit what you want so your customer can
be like oh yeah I can imagine me
changing it so it looks like it's my
resume and I think a highlight of mine
is there's no lorem ipsum like I
actually have all the sample text there
so I made a page called No lorm ipsum
resume cover letter and then I was
looking at the mock-ups that are already
in canva I was just because I think
canva recently updated their image
editor thingy so there's like a lot of
new things that I'm not familiar with
right now so I was just experimenting so
I'm taking things from My Demo template
the listing photos and then just like
using it in this one get into your dream
sorority so here's a marketing trick
when you're selling something you're not
selling the product what do people
actually want when they're buying this
resume template they want to get into a
sorority that I want to get into so that
is the goal that is what I'm doing with
my marketing get into your dream
sorority it's not this resume template
is the Best Buy it it is do you want to
get into your dream sorority right now
I'm making the how it works page this is
how it looks like in the end so here in
the what's included I put the the image
with the blank photo that's why I had to
make one with the photos and one without
the photos Okay so at this point I'm
pretty much done
um the listing photos I'm deleting the
ones that aren't the ones I'm gonna use
I thought it would be nice to just put
one more mock-up because you have 10
yeah 10 photos and yes it is 10 photos
in total
um but I think for this mock-up I had
eight something useful I want to show
you is how I organize my canva so for
each new Etsy listing that I create I
have a project which is basically a
folder so project is a folder in each
folder I have four documents the four
documents are my workspace template
marketing and access and that is the
order that I work on the documents the
first one is workspace workspace is a
place where I brain dump everything so
even before I start working on the
template I have brain dumping like ideas
of other canva templates that I like and
I can take inspiration from these so you
can see that the one I took inspiration
from is this one and that's how I
designed this template here the second
document that I have in my canva is
called the template this is similar to
the workspace but this is what the
customer actually gets when they buy the
listing so the template is the template
without the photos so without the sample
photos and then I also changed the um
the name part to your name and I leave
everything else right here the next
thing that I work on is the marketing
listing photos so here are the marketing
photos that I made for this template and
the last thing I have is the access
document this is the PDF that the
customer gets when they buy the template
so they have a link to the template and
I have a tiny URL link just in case the
link doesn't work and they can't click
this for whatever reason making the
video for the listing photo so I
downloaded the template then so now this
is like a PDF of the sample template
then what I did was I screen I started
to screen record me going down the
template downloading one marketing photo
because I'm going to use cap cut and I'm
going to put in the marketing photo just
to so I have the right size for the
video okay I think one thing I missed
explaining was what I screen recorded in
the video and it was actually me
um show you
it's like me working on the canva
template and adding in the photos for
the video I believe it has to be longer
than five seconds so mine are always
between like six to nine seconds in cap
cut there is a place where you can
change the speed I actually don't use
cap cut to do it I usually use DaVinci
Resolve for you cap cut is totally good
you can change the speed and everything
okay then I export the video
then I'm making the cover Banner now and
I just Googled what size should the Etsy
Banner be and I believe there are two
Banner sizes so I just picked one and
then I made a custom size in canva and
to make the banner I just look at
existing banners what is on canva what
looks good to me select a couple so
those are ones that I liked I wanted to
use the same font so I was copying from
my marketing photos okay and this is
what my final Banner looked like in the
end so the banner the logo and updating
some settings in my Etsy took 35 minutes
I think probably the banner took 8
minutes 10 minutes something like that
so now I'm making the shop icon which is
like the shop logo photo I basically do
the same thing and in the end this is
what the shop logo looked like you can
always go back and change it I'm not
super duper satisfied with this but it's
like whatever it's good enough just put
a photo there probably took me like five
minutes so I'm adding it to my shop I'm
also just like filling out some of the
stuff and you'll see that my shop is
suspended because it's still Etsy is
still verifying my company documents
that's why my shop is currently
suspended and then I also added a
picture of myself I live in Vancouver
Canada but for my two Etsy shops I'm
putting a location in the US because
most of my customers will be from the US
so I want to just put that I'm in the US
I put Seattle because Seattle's like
right south of Vancouver I've been there
before I like it I put Seattle it's also
the same time zone so I have good news
for you after five business days my shop
finally got unsuspended because they
double checked my documents and
everything was good so now we're into
day nine of me working on this Etsy shop
and I'll show you exactly what I did the
next step I did was I updated my Etsy
policies returns and exchanges
cancellations and then I'll show you how
I uploaded my first listing so the first
one I did was returns and exchanges get
started with a simple policy I clicked
use Simple policy then I just said no
returns no exchanges because we're
selling digital products so we don't
want any returns or exchanges then it
was the cancellation so I created a
policy where I don't accept
cancellations now is the privacy policy
so Etsy actually has a sample privacy
policy that you can work off of and they
tell you yes you can work off of this
but you have to revise it so it fits
what you are doing in your shop so I
basically read through the whole thing
and then I copy pasted so I just read
through everything and delete the stuff
that I don't need or I just change the
stuff to fit what I am doing oh yeah and
then when I copy paste it there's I
noticed that there were no bullet points
and no spaces so I added spaces in
between the bullet points I had to like
Google for a bullet point you can see
I'm like copying a bullet point over and
then I'm putting in those bullet points
and then adding space in between and
then for the last part I'm just changing
the name to Lulu creative house and then
when we're done I just was reading
through the whole thing next thing I did
was to add a banner so remember I
already made a banner I just have to
upload it so I couldn't remember if it
was the big banner or the mini Banner so
I chose the mini Banner size and it it
was obviously not working out so I chose
the big banner size and then like
totally made sense and everything looked
good then I went to options and I just
like double checked everything and made
sure that I'm okay with everything one
thing I did change here is I don't want
Shoppers to be able to see what my sold
listings are because also competitors
can also see what exactly you are
selling and so I click no hide them so
doing that took about 15 minutes and
then for another 35 minutes I upload my
new listing so I'll show you my process
for doing that so I go into my canva and
get the template link for the template I
created for the customer then I also
create a new link with tinyurl because I
want to put one link here and then I
want to put a tiny URL link here just
just in case the link doesn't work or
the customer there's some problem with
clicking the hyperlink so I want to have
the link here as well I put in the
images of what the template looks like
and then I save this whole thing as a
PDF so this is the PDF that the customer
is going to be able to download and then
once the customer downloads this PDF
they can click this link and get access
to the template so now I'm just like
adding in the photos and then I'm
working on the actual listing so
remember when we did market research
like I took notes on what other people
are using for their keywords and stuff
so I took a bit of notes on that and
then I'm just like working off of that
for when I actually do my keywords here
yeah so Rush resume cover letter make
sure I have the word canva in there I am
just doing what I think makes sense you
should be using market research tools to
work on your SEO but for this sorority
resume cover letter I'm pretty confident
in my keywords and what people are going
to be searching for so I'm just like
typing it out right now so that then I
did do a little bit of research in Etsy
just to take a look at what people are
doing so I noticed that when I searched
sorority resume template there is one
result that says sorority resume
template with photo so then I decided to
go back to mine and add the with photo
part I also took a look at a couple of
other
Etsy listings just to see what keywords
they use and then I made some changes in
mine so I'm just going to skip this part
so I took a look at what other people
are doing and then and then I made some
changes with mine I decided not to put
in the pink okay so then with the photos
once I uploaded them they're like always
in the wrong order which is super super
annoying so I have to like go back and
check what is the order that I want them
in and then I just like drag it to like
the one two three or four placing so I'm
just like rearranging the photos here oh
yeah and I also uploaded the video here
you can see the video okay so then I
decided to put in the price so I looked
at what other people were charging I
could see somewhere twenty dollars
fifteen through three dollars eight
dollars eleven so I thought okay between
three dollars and twenty dollars I
should probably pick a price and so I
decided to put ten dollars because I
thought okay that is kind of like the
average of those prices and I'm this is
like a new shop so I don't want to
charge too high because right now I
don't have any reviews so I just put ten
dollars you can always go back and
change the price later so now I am
working on the description and for the
first paragraph of the description I
always try to write something that
sounds natural but then has the keywords
in it so I said get into your dream
sorority with this sorority resume
template and matching cover letter canva
template so I said the word sorority
like two times and then template I think
I said two times as well I also look at
what other people are doing and adjust
it based on what I think is going to
work so at first I put get into your
dream sorority but I thought it would be
better to actually put editable sorority
resume template in the first like four
words that is probably probably going to
have a better result and then I did add
the get into your dream sorority part so
I just put what I think makes sense and
then for the other parts of the
description I basically copy over what I
have in the marketing photos so I'm
copying over like because in the
marketing photos my features are that I
have like no lorem ipsum it's fully
customizable on a free canva account so
I basically just copy over what I have
in the marketing photos and this is like
the how it works section so I also put
that in as well and then at the end I
always like to put something about if
they have any questions then they can
like send me a message yeah so this is
the part where it has all the features
so basically I have an introduction with
my keywords and I have my features then
I have how it works and then at the
bottom I have how to contact me if you
have any questions so for details I'm
adding core details it's digital files I
made it it's a finished product and then
switch to digital listing yes for
category I just searched resume and
there was a category worry for a resume
template so I just selected that one and
then I skipped like the color stuff and
then now I'm working on the tags so you
should probably be using market research
tools but for this one it's super Niche
and I'm pretty confident in my tag so I
just put in these tags and it's really
annoying because you can only have like
20 characters so I can't write something
like sorority resume template that's why
I put sorority resume and like sorority
template I can't put sorority resume
template so you have to kind of work
around with your wording because you can
only have 20 characters really annoying
shop section so that's like the category
so I made a new section called sorority
resume and then feature this listing
yeah why not I only have one I'm only
gonna have one listing oh I think I just
like go back and double check everything
checking the video and everything and
you know what I realized so for the
thumbnail I actually didn't like how
this canva circle is cut out and so what
I decided to do was to actually change
it and move it so that it isn't cut cut
out so I just like moved it to the other
side and then I just re-uploaded that
cover image for the cover image I always
pay a lot more attention to it because
that's like the first impression you're
going to give to your potential customer
right so I always want to make sure that
the thumbnail of the first photo is good
and nothing's like cut out so I changed
it and then I'm just like moving it
around so now the canva is in the middle
here and you can see everything so this
is the final cover image I think that
looks pretty good I can't remember if I
showed you this part but obviously you
have to upload that PDF document that
has the link to the canva template so I
uploaded that one and just checking
everything and then
I publish it so this is the actual
listing yes you can go on Etsy and look
for my shop you can find this listing
and you can see everything that I've
done oh yeah if you're getting a lot of
value out of this tutorial because I
have been spending hours and hours and
hours making this for you click the
Thumbs Up And subscribe if you want to
see more like this oh yeah and also let
me know in the comments what you found
the most useful about this tutorial so
now what I'm doing is actually creating
daily sales for my Etsy shop so every
day I came up with like a percentage
usually I do like 10 50 15 20 sometimes
I'll do 30 or 40 percent and then I'll
just name it like for example for this
one I named it it's a sale for July 1st
to July 1st so I just do like a sale
every single day because okay and the
reason why I do this is is when I first
started my Etsy shop I would see that my
competitors were offering a sale every
single day and it would be like a
different percentage and I thought that
was so smart if you just go to any
search result you'll see that if people
have a sale it's going to be there's
going to be like a green thing so for
example this one doesn't have a sale
going on it's just like it looks it's
just black but then this one has a sale
going and it ends in five hours so if
it's within I think it's if it's within
24 hours or maybe 12 hours then it's
going to say sale ends in blah blah blah
so if you're just scrolling doesn't this
one just pop out more to you and you're
more likely to click on it because it
says it's like green and it says sale
ends in five hours also it creates
urgency for the customer so if we look
and keep scrolling you'll see that most
of them don't have the green thingy like
this is not but this one does so if it's
green to me it seems more clickable and
it's like oh it's like on sale that's
why for my first Etsy shop and also the
second one that I'm creating I um
usually I do like a sale every day I did
try to do a sale every other day but I
just think it make sense to have a sale
going on every single day even if it's
like 10 or 15 off and if you think oh I
just don't want to have a sale every day
because it signals to the customer that
oh I always have a sale I actually don't
think that customers are on Etsy every
single day looking for
um templates and they're like waiting
for you to have a sale like for me if
I'm on Etsy wanting to buy something I
mean the the stuff people sell on Etsy
it's like ten dollars or twenty dollars
right at least in this Niche so I don't
think they're checking Etsy every single
day to see like oh my God I hope this
shop can give me 40 off today like I
think if they just see like 10 15 off
they're just gonna buy it or they there
might not even be a sale and they're
just gonna buy because it's such like a
low ticket offer it's not like 100 or
200 right okay and then what you can see
here so now I am making like abandoned
cart promo codes favorited item and like
thank you promo codes okay and then now
you can see all the sales that I have oh
yeah and then like because because I do
sales every single day right at the
start I would do them like every single
week now I do them every single month so
every single month I'll create 30
different sales it takes me like 10
minutes but you can start doing it every
week or you can do it every month so I
just like created a reminder in my
calendar to create new Etsy sales for my
new shop okay next thing I'm doing is to
write a shop announcement because they
can see that in your shop let me show
you so this shop announcement that I am
creating right here is the announcement
that I wrote I could have written a bit
more but I just put this for now I can
always go back and change it so this
entire process of creating this new shop
doing the market research creating the
template and everything this took me 15
days from the start to finish and I
actually worked on it nine days out of
the 15 days that's because I had rest
days in between the total time that I
spent from starting this from scratch to
having my shop published and with one
listing it took 12 hours so I think 12
hours is actually pretty short for
somebody starting a new shop I think for
my first ever shop that I start it
probably took three times as long
because like designing the first
template like here it says I did it for
two hours and 30 minutes I already have
40 something listings in my other shop
right so I've designed 40 things but the
thing is when I was creating my first
ever template I think it probably took
me like 20 hours maybe even 30 hours to
create the first one and then the
marketing photos so here it says I took
one hour 35 minutes to create my
marketing photos for my first ever shop
and for the first listing I think it
probably took at least 10 hours to do it
because I was starting from scratch
right right like right here I am using a
template that I created for myself which
you can all get access to so that's why
I only took an hour and a half so if
you're looking at this and thinking wow
Dina spent 12 hours making a new shop
it's actually not that much time but I
think if this is your first time doing
this for the very very first time you
need to take this number this number
this 12 hours and multiply it by three
or four or five I think that is
realistically how much time is you're
going to spend on starting a new shop
and like coming up with the idea doing
the market research and then having your
first listing published and everything
in the shop setup I think it's going to
take 30 hours oh and I did make this
into like a Google doc so if you do want
to use this for reference as like a
checklist for you starting your Etsy
Shop you can get access to this in the
video description I'll put a link there
this video has honestly taken me so long
to do it took me 12 hours to start the
new shop and then it probably took me 10
hours to put this video together so
please give this video a thumbs up
because I spent so much time working on
this and leave a comment and let me know
what was the most useful thing about
this video I know for the design part I
skipped over a lot of it and that's
because I actually want to create a
completely new video on how to design a
new template from scratch so subscribe
to my channel because I'm going to come
out with that very soon
