[Update July 31, 2023] I closed my LuluCreativeHouse shop because it's required that I disclose my other shops publicly on my profile. I'm not willing to disclose my first Etsy shop, nor risk both of them getting closed, so I closed the Lulu one. ✨GIVE AND GET 40 FREE LISTINGS✨If you already have an Etsy shop, go to www.etsy.com/invites/sell/ and comment under this video with your code (NOT THE LINK. CODE ONLY because you can't post links in youtube comments.) The code is the numbers-and-letters-combination that comes after etsy.me/ If you want to get 40 free Etsy listings and you HAVEN'T STARTED A SHOP, scroll down and copy someone's code, and paste it after the link etsy.me/ For example, if someone's code is abc123, then put etsy.me/abc123
My 2 key takeaways: 1) Just do it lah and stop over analysing and thinking; 2) Need to invest to make returns. Great guide! Newbies like myself really appreciate what you’re doing for your community. Let’s share, learn and become successful together!🙏
I'm a little late to the party, but thank you for this video! I made the mistake of rushing into making my etsy shop just yesterday, but this tutorial really helped. I never took into account of all the things you mentioned before launching my shop. I guess we all start somewhere. Please continue to make more great content like this :))
I don't sell digital products, but this video made me think if I could sell resume making/resume canva templates. I live in Kazakhstan and here resume making isn't a big niche. So maybe the competition is low enough. I make jewelry and I know this niche is one of the most competitive on etsy, so idk if I should start an etsy shop now. Maybe in a few years it'll work better. Thanks for this video, you're doing so much for your followers 💓 I actually thought canva design isn't a very payable thing, I did it for free as a volunteer. Now I'm thinking of capitalizing on it.
Dina, you are amazing and I really hope you get rewarded a million times over for all your high quality content and your genuine desire to help people out.
This is exactly what i needed to help guide me to start. Ive never been so impressed with someone creating a youtube video on how to do something. I appreciate you so much you dont even know! Ill be watching so many more videos and investing time into this with the help from you!
Dina.... I have been watching all sorts of videos looking into making money online. Thank you for this video. You do NOT gatekeep at all. I just watched this video all the way thru, and I can't wait to go implement everything I just learned. It's the most descriptive video on starting an Etsy shop that I have seen.
I am SO glad this popped up in my recommended, this video is truly priceless! I can listen to people tell me what I'm supposed to do and show me short clips of their process all day but seeing someone actually do it from start to finish including your thought process is 100x more useful and motivational imo. I wasn't even planning on watching all of this straight away but I've just finished it and I'm already starting my market research to find a niche! I'm truly grateful you decided to make and post this video and be so transparent with your whole process, thank you 🙏❤ I subbed within like the first few minutes of the video btw
I love this in depth tutorial and your free resources! I started creating my first 4 Etsy listings and it took me hours but it's all about consistency. Thank you for this awesome tutorial!
Dina, I started watching your video randomly without many thoughts as I was going to sleep...but ended up finishing whole video past midnight and having lot of things on mind for myself to do tomorrow to actually start working on my etsy shop! You really did a good job and I would like to thank you so so so very much!!! I rarely subscribe into someone account as I'm not into RU-vid videos but I just subscribe yours as I'm really fall in love with yours at first sight! Lol! Thanks agaij, Dina!!!
Out of all of my favorite people to watch on RU-vid this one is the best I am overwhelmed but this is exactly what I need to get an idea of how to start from, actual scratch I am not bashing the others but this is what I need I'm glad I came across you lol. I have to grasp the information without feeling anxious and overwhelmed
Dina Lu Thank you for taking the time out to make this video. As a New Beginner learning about Digital Products and many other things, I am so happy I found your Channel. You make if very easy to follow what you were Explaining and Teaching.much. you again for your time keep up the great work.
Quick Question Do you get the PLR or the MRR rights when you create to sell on Canva ? Where can I find that information or can you make a video about that? making sure I'm doing things the right way. Thank you again for your time @@DinaLu
I know you spent a long time on this video. It shows! I Hope you still update us on your secret Etsy shop. I love that you have both going at the same time. You inspired me to start an Etsy shop!
Pretty sure the Universe decided I need you and your tutorials in my life 🤩 Thank you so much for these tutorials and very-good-earthly-practical business advices
Of all the tutorial videos I've watched these days. This one is the most accurate! Thank you for making this kind of video and please continue sharing.
Thank you for this wonderful video. Even though I don't have much knowledge about it. I feel like I knew a lot after watching this. I hope digital selling works well for me too. May God bless you more!
This is so refreshing to watch, thank you for this!!! I keep seeing people make market research look so easy and completed within less than an hour. It took me around a week to find a niche because I also work in accounting so it didn’t seem feasibly possible for me. I thought I was crazy and the only one spending hours (days) for market research. I love the transparency and reality :( of how much work it actually takes. I just found your page but I will def be watching more of your content!
Aww thank you SO MUCH! Yeah, market research (for me, at least) takes sooo long because I want to make sure that what I'm gonna commit to is something that 1) I can realistically do and 2) there's demand for it. I wish it could take shorter! Haha
Thank you so much for making this video. I can not be more grateful for finding you because this has been more helpful than the course I bought if I am going to be honest. This was a perfect mix of giving me better and realistic expectations simultaneously inspiring me to kickstart my own etsy shop. I was so relieved when I saw that you did this in the span of 4 to 5 days becasue I felt like I had to make money quick in the span of a couple days and this just told me "Take your time." It was very grounding for me and helped me take a breath to continue more rationally, productively, and effectively. You're doing god's work here and for free too. I hope you know you're helping a lot of people by making, editing, and uploading all of this.
Claire thank you SO much! I'm so happy to hear you found this super useful. And yes, starting a business takes time, and especially if you are making products! Take your time - it's better to spend more time to create better quality products and marketing photos than doing it fast and not getting sales. Good luck🙌
You are doing a great job in the place and your audience are lucky to have you, tho I'm still learn from you guys and try to give the best to my audiences too keep it up bro
Thank you so much. I do not want to spend for capital with digital products and I am having a hard time searching for very in dept video about this. You're a life saver!!!
Thanks for the time invested into creating this video and new store for the people Dina! I empathise that it is a lot of work and want you to know that your efforts are not wasted and greatly appreciated. Hope you're living your dream life digital nomadding the way you want. this is my goal too.
You gained a new subscriber in me 14 minutes into your video. I could tell how thorough and practical your video was going to be probably in the first 7 minutes. I look forward to learning a lot from you!
Thank you so much for this video. Sooo many videos are very gimmicky and just loud people saying catchy phrases instead of talking about the extensive knowledge needed to create and research for creating an Etsy shop. This is the most useful videos I’ve seen in the 100s of seen in RU-vid on how to sell on Etsy and all for free! 🎉
Dina! I've been watching your videos since you first started and wow I am so thankful to have someone like you creating such informative and helpful videos! I've already started my first "experimental" Etsy shop on a whim just to "go for it" and learn from my mistakes. I thought I would already know most of the information you would have on this video but I learned so much valuable information as I am currently working on my second shop (completely different niche) so thank you for making this video for people like us (:
Love this. I'm a body image coach so i want to make a supplemental shop in that same niche, but this is gonna help me research and get creative with the products i sell.
I only 2 and half minutes watching this video, but i want tp thank you first by putting all your effort on making this tutorial seriously, i can already see it'll help so many people who wants to start selling on Etsy just like me! 😊
Thanks for sharing all of your process in this new shop, you said something that got me and you just made me think and reevaluate my situation, l’m not the only one in this boat, I think all of us who are trying something new many thoughts come to our minds and most of them aren’t pretty so thanks for encourage me ❤
Love the video❤️ I just started my print-on-demand journey and found Crafted Threads. They have a ton of designs and it saved me so much time. They have something in every niche. And lifetime updates too!!
EXCELLENT VIDEO, THANK YOU!!❤ Most useful thing is how thorough and you covered every minute....people take for granted that shorter videos cut out so much info and steps, it really doesnt show how to get started!!!
Thank you SO MUCH!!!!! Glad you found it useful! Yes I wanted to make a really in-depth video that covers everything, because when I was researching how to start an Etsy shop months ago, I didn't find detailed tutorials.
Wow... that was very complete! I already have 2 shops, but i found your video very interesting, just because everyone has a different way to make product research or whatever else... it was really interesting watching you doing this. And I think I can integrate some tips you gave to upgrade the way I'm doing it 😁 also good luck with this new shop, I really hope you'll make money of it, double win ! 😉
Thank you, thank you, thank you for going into so much detail and being transparent. This entire video was so much help and i will definitely watch over and over again.
Thank you for the video walk through. I live videos like these because they are detailed and really help explain things clearly. Everything you said I needed to hear. This will be my first shop opening so I need all the help I can get.
Hi Dina Lu ! ❤ This video was very helpful. Thank you for your time and effort you put into this video. I know you closed the shop recently but what were your sales like prior to closing ?
Thank you so much. You gave me some courage to start my Etsy shop. I spend like one week doing market research and thanks to your video I understand that I need to stop and just start 😅.
Thank you so much for this video! I've been searching and watching so many videos related with this topic because i badly want to earn my own my as a student. Out of all the YT videos I've watched, yours have been so much detailed so far. I will definitely start doing these after our midterms. God bless you!
Thank you this video is really helpful!!!❤ God bless you and would like to share with you that Jesus loves you too and there’s eternal life through him because he died for us all he was buried and rose again on the third day and by trusting and believing his shed blood and that it can wash away all of your sins away you have a eternal life!!!🎉✝️
This was so helpful thank you! I decided to just design all of my idea templates after doing research before even setting up my etsy storefront. Only because the business info and what not never seems to be straightforward. Especially when it comes to selling digital products. Especially when it comes to US state requirements
Wow, I started looking into this, how to…. On Etsy. And you amazed me. Everything in details and honesty and you time… Thank you so much for your time and effort sharing everything. I appreciate it so very much. Sending you love and hugs 🤗 hope one day I can get there too.
This is GOLD! I wish had found you long time ago before taking forever figuring all this out on my own however I still learned some new things from you. Thank you so much for your time in doing this and sharing this with all of us ❤
this is so helpful!!! you have no idea!!! ...of course you have - you are very smart and a good hearted person. otherwise you would not share this expensive knowledge!! love tons!
Thank you. I have done so much research and I wish I ran into yours first since it’s a one stop for all. I hope you get many blessings for helping us for free. Thank you!!!!
Thank you so much DinaLu for this video! You can't imagine how helpful it is to me! (I just finished praying to God asking Him to help me because I was feeling stuck on a certain path in my journey of opening a new Etsy store, and voila! Your Tutorial! I am truly blessed). Thank you because you answered a lot of my questions, especially how you organize your workspace on Canva, that part really helped me because sometimes after finishing a RU-vid video tutorial, when my turn comes and I go to Canva to get started, I'm like "Where do I start?". I really needed a complete and detailed process! Thanks for spending so much time teaching us all this golden information! Ps: Is that possible next time, to show Slowly the Canva part ? (like what you changed/modified on, how you organize stuff on Canva, etc. That part was really helpful but a little bit to fast for me 😅 Be blessed Girl ! I'm from Montreal so happy to see a sister next door 😁🙃
I'm so happy you enjoyed the video! And especially the Canva part! I was thinking it might be helpful to some people. Noted, I'll make it a bit slowly next time haha. I sped it up or else the video would be wayyyyy too long hahaha.
Thank you! I created a sign for business use and figured it could help others. Your video helped me bypass all of the extras and just get it listed. I REALLY appreciate you!
Thank you so much for this!! ❤ I love being able to follow a guide so I love that you went through every detail of opening your shop and provided us with your checklist.
I've been working on developing my Etsy shop for months and have only had one sale.... I had to pause it tho. And I just had a breakthrough of an idea i want to try of selling a niche of digital downloads but alas I can't start this shop now because I'm in the UK on a student visa 😥😥😥😥😥 I hate having to wait when the best time to start is the present! Oh well, your video is absolutely invaluable and I'll be referring back to it once I can finally start up again. Thanks!
