As a new Etsy creator, I can’t thank you enough for sharing not only your tips and tricks, but also some free templates too. I am continually amazed by how kind everyone in the creator space is so I just wanted to say thanks for making the process of getting started so much easier ❤
I am right there with you on this - completely agreeing. I am brand new myself, about to dive in as an Etsy seller, and I have been doing a lot of preparing and trying to take in as many advice these amazing popular etsy sellers shares. I am so thankful for this video in particular
I just came across your video and wanted to say a huge thank you. I design in Procreate,. I can't create an 24 x 36 canvas because my iPad Air doesn't have enough RAM. I was trying to figure out how to make my Procreate files bigger. Then I watched your video. Of course! Save the Procreate images and upload them to Canva (where I can make huge canvases). I do geometric art so this works perfectly for me--to upload the shapes like you did. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
YAY! I am so glad it helped! I haven't posted in awhile due to relocated, buuuuut - I will be again soon, so let me know if there is anything else I could do video wise that would be helpful!
When you upload it in Canva and resize it, will it not become pixelated? Because whenever I upload a 24x36 (or any sizes) artwork with 300 dpi on Canva, it always becomes pixelated.
Hii Shelby I’ve watched your over and over again lol There’s a lil novice question I have and that’s about creating an email list. I want to understand why that’s important and how we can make one for our digital business. Actually, would love to know everything that surrounds “email lists” Thank you Great video ✨
I would love to help. Email lists are important because we don't own Etsy, Instagram, RU-vid or any platform. So, it's important to build your customer community outside of these platforms, so you can always mass email your customers if you ever switch platforms. It's also important for marketing. If you have a huge sale or new product launch, you can send an email to the customers who joined your email list. I will definitely start doing some videos about email marketing! The best email marketing tactic is by giving away value for free - to access this item, you get an email. Then continue giving them value via emails each week or so - which will nurture that list, so when you want to sell something down the road, they'll be more receptive. I hope this helps! :)
do you have a tutorial about adding designs to files and folders to download into Etsy. I am really struggling with this .Do you add all the files to 1 folder or zip file or ??? I have watched so many TUTs my eyes are crossed and it seems they leave out 1 or 2 details that when i get to a certain point i get lost...any help so much appreciated.
I usually purchased a bundle of digital elements from sellers, so I usually only messaged them once. I think messaging them once for all elements you purchased from them would be sufficient. This is what I said in my messages, "I’m really enjoying your beautiful art and would love to have some of your collections added to my printable art prints on Etsy. If purchased at the “commercial” status, do I have permission to use these on my art printable designs and other future digital products? Let me know!!! Thank you again for your beautiful designs!" Hope this helps. :)
Hi, great videos! When designing in Canva, what file format should you save in? Being a vector image, should you save as svg and then convert to a JPG? just wondering if that will alter the quality?
Great question! I always save my art printables as a PDF Print which can be formatted in the various sizes you're offering in your listing. This will be a high-quality PDF perfect for printing. I hope this answered your question, let me know if not! :)
I’m about to start an Etsy shop. Seeing non-artists make a living off of generic art when I’m an actual artist and a damn good one…….it’s kind of infuriating I’m not gonna lie 😂
Hi Shelby, nice informative video. I have a question to ask- can we open multiple etsy shops with one email id? If not then how to have multiple etsy shops and connect them all to one paypal account !! A video on this topic too. If have already on channel, kindly share the link. I am a hobbyist designer.
I will definitely do a video about this - as far as I know, one email = one Etsy shop, but from my understanding, you could still connect multiple shops to one paypal. I will do some research and make a video for sure!
Hello Shelby thanks for your advice. I really like your videos. I would like you to guide me: I know that to upload my wall art on Etsy it has to be at least 20 megabytes. I made a folder in Google Drive with the images of my art, when I downloaded it it was compressed in a zip folder and it is very heavy. Could you tell me what I have to do? Thank you very much for your guidance.
I won't lie, it took awhile! But, I just posted a new video that is all about the changes I made to help my sales. Here is the link: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5Iqv28HRfwI.html
