WHY SUBSCRIBE TO WHOLESALE TED?
Hey there I am Sarah (aka Ted). My goal is to help new entrepreneurs grow & scale a business that is right for THEM!
Yes – the business that is right for THEM. Because I believe that time is the most valuable thing we have, and that we should spend it doing things that we love: and what I love may be different to what you love. Which is why on this channel I share:
* Examples & case studies of businesses that I enjoy (such as Print On Demand ecommerce businesses) and sharing my tips & strategies I've learned along the way.
* Examples & case studies of other businesses that entrepreneurs love running (even if I personally wouldn't find it fun myself!)
* Plus a sprinkle of entrepreneurial motivation thrown in too!
I hope my actionable content can help you: whether you're running your own online business, or are in the process of building one, and want some tactical advice to help you along the way. If that is you, subscribe today! 🔥
This video is POWERFUL as so many of us share the same issues on Etsy
🙏 Just a quick New Zealand accent translation for those of you who are new here 🗣
Itsy = Etsy
Disines = Designs
Tist = Test
What other words did I miss? 😉
Raid = Read 😂
Your BEAUTIFUL Sarah 💗
Your accent is awesome 🙂
😂❤
Lmao thanks for this
I got about 500 designs on spread shirt, only made $20. in about 2 years. But I also don’t advertise. All of that is organic. I know that’s my fault, not anyone’s else.
I know I just have to start working on advertising. Then I’ll know I’ll start selling more.
If you watch this video though, you’ll see the issue isn’t not advertising. It’s about creating clickable products. Platforms provide you with Test Impressions. The question is whether users actually click on your products, during that time. If they do, you’ll keep being shown to others. Rather than upload 500 designs, it is better to spend more time producing less designs that are clickable 🙏
@Wholesale Ted I’m also including keywords, titles, and descriptions when I’m talking about advertising. Which I am bad at that.
Fair enough! I highly recommend it, because it will help the platforms pair your products with the right customers. That is what their algorithm is trying to do, and the more information they have to work with, the easier it is for them to do it.
When you split photos/posters on Etsy to sell, do you just sell the digital item or can you split the posters on Printify/Printful and send both together? Thanks for all the value you provide!
Thank you! So in that case, what you’d do is:
1) Create each poster as a Draft Product within Printify.
2) Create a listing manually with Etsy, don’t connect it with Printify.
3) Each time you get an order, just hop into Printify and select to “Manual Order” and then just add in your posters that you’ve saved as draft products, and then add in the customers address & order it that way.
Or of course if it’s a digital product, you just upload your files and they’ll get sent to the customer automatically
Definitely learned something new seerah 😀 as everytime, you somehow deliver, keep growing 💯
That’s awesome. I have watched your videos and they are very helpful so thank you for that. What are we actually supposed to have in our descriptions?
You want your description to be very descriptive about what your item is (describing it’s niche, describing it’s materials, etc) while also being written in a way that presents you as a brand. So no copy/pasting the description Printify gives you!
@Wholesale Ted Thank you so much for answering me! I think that might be my problem. I put a couple of sentences in the description that have some of my keywords, but the rest is copy and paste from Printify.
Videos from Etsy ‘experts’ keep saying that what I like as a creator is irrelevant and only what the customers like matters. But how can I effectively design stuff that doesn’t make sense to me.
And these video makers all have 1000 plus listings.
I get views, but haven’t gotten conversions yet. I do know I need to keep working on designs and uploading products.
But I don’t have 1,000 listings, and I never said in this video you need 1,000 listings. In fact, I had just 25 when I made my first sale!
@Wholesale Ted oh I didn’t mean you said that! I meant other videos from Etsy sellers. They all admit to having hundreds of listings across multiple niches. But I feel I’m not going to be as an effective designer in areas I have little knowledge or zero passion. I research and research but if I hate coffee for instance how will I ever truly ‘click’ into the mindset of a coffee lover the same way as someone who genuinely enjoys coffee would. I much prefer the idea of quality over quantity but don’t think I’ve reached the right level or skills yet.
What a great video! I have niche blog and a large pinterest account but I am struggling to make money. What should I do to change that? I know this is a broad question with limited details but a quick word of direction would be appreciated.
That is a good question. Honestly, list-style content tends to convert really well for that business style. Working on creating great list blogs that either promote your own products, or affiliate products. Those sorts of blog posts work well with Pinterest too.
@Wholesale Ted Thanks Sarah, I have not created any list based posts. I will give it a try.
You can tell Sarah genuinely cares and is passionate about inspiring others. Otherwise she wouldn’t have posted this video. She even reads the comment section and addresses common concerns or misconceptions.
Take advantage of her wisdom before it becomes common knowledge!
I’ve always admired Sarah’s ability to mock negative commenters but also remain adorable at the same time, LOL
I really liked the pricing as having a premium price to make it affordable but also at the same time you get what you worked hard for.
Absolutely! And even if it did increase sales (which is not what studies or statistics show), what would the point be anyway in making 100 sales if you’re making 50 cents profit per sale, whereas you could have made just 20 sales, but made $5 per sale. One is a lot less stressful and nicer than the other, lol!
I just wanted to comment after binging some of your videos along with this one, and I wanted to thank you! I genuinely feel that your channel has had the most useful information when it comes to running a shop. I have gotten information and insights from your channel I haven’t gotten anywhere else. And I have ADHD and get hyperfixated on binging etsy business videos so I don’t mean that lightly haha. I sometimes feel like I’m just consuming the same info over and over so your channel was a breath of fresh air! I hope you have the best day ^-^
Thank you – I hope you have a lovely day too. I don’t have ADHD and everything that comes along with it (time management is literally one of my biggest strengths!) but I do have a personality that is prone to hyperfixating, so I understand how easy it is to go on a big video binge, LOL!
Hi Wholesale Ted! I’ve been a fan of your informative videos on print on demand and Etsy. Your insights are incredibly valuable! I’d love to see you explore topics like affiliate marketing too. Your teaching style is fantastic, and I believe your audience could benefit from your expertise in that area as well. Keep up the great work!
Thank you! I will put that on my video idea list. I have made some videos about affiliate marketing in the past, but I could certainly make some new updated ones!
Etsy will demote you if you let your store go idle. I went idle last summer and my view and sales both decreased going into Christmas last year. When I started working in my store almost every day again (uploading products, tweaking titles and pics, etc.), my view count (and sales) started going up again after a few weeks.
The absolute worst thing you can do is throw up a huge number of products, then sit back and do nothing while you wait for everyone to beat a path to your door. It’s MUCH better to upload one or two products a day and slow-roll the process. Etsy rewards that.
It’s a good point and it also is just logical from their perspective to have this rule in place. If you’re an idle store, then from their perspective, you might not be around to assist your customers if they actually need help.
I must say “SUPERB”. You are more than perfect. A real honest and passionate trainer willing to educate everyone!
Sarah, as a marketing graduate with nearly 4 decades of experience, I found your video very informative and useful. Especially your part about price anchoring. For those not doing well on Etsy, I would love to see their products, titles and descriptions, to determine if they failed due to product saturation, poor designs/titles/descriptions, or poor marketing. Signed up to your newsletter too. What else would you do to get more traffic to an Etsy store? Social media and website backlinks, more SEO, and/or advertising (free and paid)?
Another doubt clear.. Thanks a ton.. mam.. 🙏
Thank you so much sir 🙏❤️ currently i earn 40k-50k per month just working 1-2hours daliy.
Great information!!! 🙂
