I know this thread is quite old but I thought i'd chime in! I do have an Etsy shop that I started in Fall 2021, and so far its been doing better than I thought, I have like 4 digital downloads up and I make like $300-450 a month, which makes me feel like it can be scaled if I put more time into it. There's a lot of research that goes into the process but its nice because after its up and running there is not that much maintenance after it goes live. Plus its a pretty low start-up cost for the digital download business.Good Morning everyone,
While perusing the forum, I've seen a few smaller threads that mention Etsy but not a specific Etsy thread. I didn't know how many of you are selling on Etsy or use it at all. I thought this might be a good place to post any tips for Etsy for sellers and any other feedback that buyers can offer.
I personally do not have an Etsy shop but my mom does. I do all the backend stuff for her since she just figured out how to use email about 2 months ago. I take the photos, put up the listings, and do pretty much everything besides the actual sewing of the products. My mom only uses it as a hobby in conjunction with doing craft fairs around Christmas time so she isn't looking to sell a ton especially since she only can sew so much at one time but I figured they are people on here are do use Etsy as a business? Prints, digital downloads, pattterns, etc can all be scaleable and sold on Etsy so I just thought I would start a thread to learn more. Etsy also might be a good place to sell if you're just starting off and are flipping items as vintage items are pretty popular on Etsy.
Etsy is much like Amazon where you don't have control but you do have the ability of being a little bit more creative as compared to Amazon's storefront.
I've tried Etsy's version of PPC and haven't had a ton of luck with it. Has anyone tried their selling features for advertising or uses Pattern?
Is anyone else doing digital downloads these days?
