Great job with episode #1 Stephen! I'm hyped for this series!! 🔥🔥

@HelloCustom Год назад

Thanks Ryan!

@user-te5po4bu8o Год назад

Build your skills WHILE you do something else. Don’t quit school or your job unless you’re wealthy already until you have something you know how to sell. Do not hammer away at a million businesses while going into debt. Marketing is a skill y’all. Learn what you’re doing first.

@HelloCustom Год назад

Completely agree! Well said.

@carlasidhom5785 Год назад

I had two Etsy shops that just never took off (243 sales in one and 436 in the other) Rebranding one right now as a digital products shop and toying what to do with the other. This has come along at a fortuitous time for me. Your description of trying/failing/trying again SOOOO resonated. Thank you for doing this. Eager for the journey.

@HelloCustom Год назад

Thanks! It's been a journey, but 100% worth it. Episode 2 drops on Monday 🙌

@DarkStarStudios Год назад

Aaaaah, perfect timing, sir! I only opened up my Etsy POD shop a few weeks ago, so far just over 40 listings and got my first sale last week! It's very slow moving with the views and visits but I know it's early days and it takes a while for the Etsy algorithm to get my listing in front of the right eyeballs. Oddly enough the most favourited and only sale have come from a random design I just threw together basically to add another listing to my shop, it just goes to show you never really know what other peoples likes are out there!

@kino_ogun 10 месяцев назад

BRO! No one knows how underrated and GOATED this video or your series is!!! 🔥🔥 This is the type of content that separates execution from excuse for those who are climbing the Etsy ladder (especially in the dark where no one on RU-vid explains anything correctly). This is extremely professional, clear, and relevant. I wouldn't be able to say thank you enough - for how you've helped the public during the pandemic AND for the amazing series you are sharing. This deserves a lot of respect! The amount of gratitude is incomprehensible 🎖I left a like and a sub. Excellent work!

@shannonp7338 3 месяца назад

I agree! Most RU-vid streamers come out with videos like they are truly trying to help you but they ALWAYS leave out pertinent information! This video series absolutely broke a lot of steps down!!

Wow! Your story is so inspiring! Thanks for sharing your journey with us and being so transparent! I'm going to build my shop alongside you. This series is really a boon for newbies. And you've just raised the bar, Stephen. This is Netflix quality! Can't wait for the next episode!

@HelloCustom Год назад

Thanks so much! Going into this series, I told everyone I wanted it to be "Netflix quality" exactly, so I'm happy you feel that it is! Episode 2 drops on Monday 🙌

@user-dl3pm3mq1s Год назад

You are truly inspiring! This is totally what I need now. I’ve tried different businesses over the past years and have failed miserably. I’ve started Etsy just this Feb and following along your new shop’s journey will give me inspiration and of course insights. I am excited to watch the rest of your upcoming videos. Thank you!

@HelloCustom Год назад

Thank you so much!

@dottiecloughley4958 Год назад

I so needed the encouragement to keep going. Started about 2-3 years ago and have yet to "take off". Group sales and personalizations were out of my league (in my 70's) so not too swift on moving skus etc. Hellocustom looks great! Thank you so much for this series.

@AhmadAIPro Год назад

This "Print On Demand $1M Challenge" is exactly what I've been looking for! Your content is so inspiring. I've failed in different businesses before. Watching your journey will inspire and teach me a lot. Can't wait for your upcoming videos. Thank you! Thank you for this amazing and inspiring episode!

@debstraub8437 Год назад

Perfect timing for me too! Thanks for sharing your process. So valuable. I already picked a shop name and made a banner. But I didn't know you could create a shop using a dummy product and then deleting it. Brilliant way to get started. I'm such a perfectionist and can take so much time to get started with anything. This step alone will get the ball rolling for me. Yay!😃 I'm excited to join the series :D

I've just started with Etsy and have been following some great POD Entrepreneurs on RU-vid. I was getting ready for the day and listened to my first Printify Podcast, 'Let's Get Personal", with this guest named Stephen Chin. Hearing your story was inspiring. Everyday I learn something new, and everyday I learn how little I know. I'm Excited to follow the Million Dollar Challenge and while I am on my own journey. Thank you Stephen for doing this and sharing in this very real and transparent way!

@boostingyourbiz Год назад

Great idea for a series! I just started watching Episode 1 and already feel as though I'm meeting a like-minded individual. Although I am much older than you, I have been in the Business and IT consulting world for many years and am very ambitious. I attempted POD two years ago and failed, however, I am now restarting with the help of AI tools. As a consultant who specializes in streamlining operations, the one thing that I find most frustrating is sizing images appropriately for Wall Art time-consuming and AOP difficult. Ensuring proper size, 300 or more dpi. Although I don't use Redbubble yet, I do find that interface more appealing for creating products fast. Hoping your series touches upon this particular topic. First time I am hitting the notification bell!

@chartrucker 11 месяцев назад

I'm a late start but here with you. I started with tumblers in TikTok and Shopify. Since they started shops it has gone bust. We have great tumbler designs but I want to transition to tee shirts. I've had to turn back to truck driving to pay the bills. I'm hoping this is something that I can do a little slower than most but still do because my time is now super limited. Can't really truck and work on my shop. Before I found your series I actually have already opened my shop. I guess I was lucky I listed three t-shirts and have had three sales. I really want to do this right and build a sustainable business so we're on pause with those until I catch up with you.

This is series will end up be an amazing marketing case study. How do you get people to use your main revenue generating product? Teach them how to setup and make money online with your product being a huge benefiting factor in the process. In other words this series is a sales funnel. Slow cap of appreciation.
