Omg. I made a cutsy softer pallet “brand” cause I thought 1. That’s the Etsy aesthetic and 2. All the first 5 listings that aren’t paid follow that. Then my designs didn’t align because I tried to brand as everything I don’t resonate with. They’ve already carved out that space. It’s time to step into me and attract my tribe. I understand to be successful, you have to be in demand but there has to be a group of people like what I’d bring to the table, I just have to show up as my authentic brand. I guess I just needed permission to feel ok showing up as me. Thank you for this video ❤
I always learn something new from you! I was mortified to see my exact banner win your examples of what not to use. I have changed it to my self painting by the ocean and one of my paintings. It looks so much more personalized. Thank you, Starla.
I crochet and believe me it is so hard to get noticed! For 10 years I have done OOAK and they are so hard to sell! I am switching over to doing basic items that I can make a lot of and trying to create best selling listings. I hope it works. 🙏
OOAK is hard to sell when you're not known. As boring as it might be, make items that are selling well, as you said "Best Sellers", so you can get noticed and people get to know your work. Also find out what colors are in style. You need to sell what the public wants to buy.
Happiest of birthdays to you Starla, may you always, always have perfect health, happiness and success around. You are a very special kind of human who informs for the better of others without charging a cent. Thank you for the constant golden advice. Wish you amazing next 365 days around the sun.
Happy Birthday Starla! I hope you are having a beautiful day and wishing you a year full of moments that make you smile. Thank you for these tips on how to stand out. 💐🎂🐺
Happy Birthday Starla! 🎉 Just want to say a BIG thank you for all the wonderful advice that you have given us. I have been following your advice from your videos and have been making small improvements to my Etsy shop. I’m beginning to see positive results..❤️
Thank you for this! I have just recently rebranded my Etsy business as I create colourful and quirky prints yet my logo was plain and boring. Another great video. Happy birthday! 🎂🥰
Thank you for sharing your wealth of info with us. I am a BRAND new shop on Etsy (first listing in January) and am diving in... hard, with your SEO toolbox at the moment. I do have a question or two for you: - Keywords & Tags- should you include the singular and plural version of each? Bag vs Bags - Should you include different spellings and versions of the same thing in title and tags: T-Shirt, Shirt, Tee, Tees, Tshirts, etc? Does this matter? - Do you have a video on 'how to' use the main features of erank? Again thank you for all your insight. I look forward to next week's gem of wisdom.
- Keywords & Tags: Etsy identifies plurals/singulars as the same word, so no need to use both. - Should you include different spellings: Only if they are VASTLY different. In your T-Shirt example, in theory, Etsy should be able to tell that these are all the same (but it's totally fine to experiment and go with whichever term you see the best results from!) - 'How to' use the main features of erank: Yes! All of the videos in the Etsy SEO'oodles Toolbox cover what I feel are the most essential eRank features (Keyword Tool, Rank Checker), but I have tons of eRank videos on my channel for some of the other tools. You can find them by going to my channel home page and searching "eRank" from the smaller channel search bar under my banner. 💛
🎤Happy happy birthday, from all of us to you! We wish it was our birthday, so we could party too!Woo! 🤣 Seriously though, I hope you had the happiest of birthdays, Starla. You are celebrated by us every day🐺
Happy birthday!! Also thanks so much for this amazing info. Definitely going to go back and look at my branding, my banner looks like all the ones you put up there!! 😅
There's nothing inherently wrong with any of the banners I shared (to be clear, all were "made up" and were not taken from any real shops), but it goes to show how often banners can look very similar without us even realizing it. Especially when utilizing common templates.
@@StarlaMoorewell to double down on my need to do branding research, I did look again at some similar products that I'm selling in my shop and you're so right! By following trends and templates, I'm not standing out at all (yet). This channel is a goldmine, thank you Starla ❤️
@ Starla Moore *New material for your next video. What do you think about this new Etsy feature just released and whether it's was a good or bad idea by Etsy to do this? I received the notification by email yesterday and really, to me at this point and time I'm not to hot on the idea of Etsy notifying buyers that they can now "WHEEL AND DEAL" with sellers haggling their pricing. What are your thoughts?*
@@StarlaMoore Okay, I just emailed you the screen shots. Let me know what you think. I see it a as a bad deal for both sellers and etsy, great for the buyer.
Hi,im using canva for my design,how can i make the design to look like a real colour on shirt mockups? When i pasted the design on printful mockups its look brighter...
You can attempt to increase the saturation of the image mock-ups using a basic photo editor but if the colors vary too much from the design, this may be an issue you'll want to reach out to your POD company directly about.
Trying to figure out what my clients like is challenging. I have asked all of my buyers what they would like to see in my shop, have gotten a few suggestions, but they are like "football keys". Doable, but not salable. I wish I had designed the "Yarmulcopter", lol.
great video, as always. thank you! Off topic, but I am pretty new to all of this and I wanted to get your opinion. I am designing a t-shirt for a group of men at a fire house (one being my son). I was wondering what your favorite brand(s) of t-shirts are on printify- and what would fit best for these active and rugged guys. thank you !
I actually run several shops, redbubble stores, and even a stand-alone website - but I do not share any of my business links on RU-vid, as this would absolutely destroy my conversion rates and my ability to run organic keyword experiments and testing at eRank, where I am a manager - as my shop would mainly be full of people looking in order to "see what I'm up to", as opposed to shopping. I have been selling on Etsy through various shops for over 10 years though!
@@StarlaMoore Why Detour Shirts made video 20 hours ago with the title "5 Ways to Get Your T-Shirt Designs to Stand Out" and you also write word STANDOUT with big letters? And I'm sure someone else already made the same. I'm watching a lot of bloggers about... lol passive income, and they often making the same topics video as others in 24-48 hours timeframe
Again, it's purely coincidental. I don't really have the time to follow any other channels with such intense scrutiny. Much too busy planning my own content. Though I do know several channels that jump on the topics I personally cover right after I've covered them. Either way, there's nothing wrong with anything you've stated. Sometimes you need to hear topics explained in different ways in order to retain the information being taught. My teaching style may not click with everyone who watches my videos. RU-vid is a big wide world. There's room for everyone. I just personally choose to stay in my own lane by creating videos based on questions my own subscribers ask me, as opposed to fishing from other people's channels. I have enough great topics submitted by my community to last a lifetime. 🙂
@@StarlaMoore Thanks for you answer, at least you are not that bloggers who only telling stories about 1kk$ and ignoring their subscribers. PS if you are able to add timestamps in your videos, it will be very good idea - life is short, sometimes you have no time to view all 30-60minutes videos from all interesting channels. I have checked nearly 10+ channels about etsy/POD and your channel one of the most interesting
All of my videos have time stamps already. You can find them at the bottom of my video descriptions, as well as on the playbar (chapters). I do not timestamp my 2 hour live streams, as this would require me to sit and re-watch the entire stream right after ending it. I sign off for the weekend when we finish the Friday Bean, so this is unfortunately not something I have the time to do.
