@Sisco035 5 месяцев назад

@@kristynkrey6988 First things first thank you SO much for the kind words! You watched it 5 times!!!!!!!!!! I must answer your question because you are dedicated! 😛 1.) So I do a little of both. Let me explain sometimes I will scan though amazon merch. If I see some design on amazon merch doing well and I cross search on etsy and don't really see that design around and I think that it will do okay on I might try it out. Other than that I do stick to etsy one big reason you can see the trends with searches with tools like everbee and erank! Having this data is so useful to see if a niche is worth your time. 2.) I usually consider niche with under 10K listings lower competition. What I have found is these tools do pull in listings showing in ads and also split tested listings. So usually 10k competition really ends up being lower than that. Since etsy is a market place and you have access to the many shoppers that use etsy every day. Nailing your SEO will help put your listings Infront of those customers. It is then up to you to have made a quality listing so that customer converts! Nothing is worst than having perfect SEO and not so great mockups. I really did enjoy doing this interview and if Cassiy ever wants me to come on to do more interviews and or live questions and answers I totally would. If I did not answer your questions as clearly as you would have liked please do mention that! I will be more than happy to elaborate even more :)

Well done Francisco!!! Great interview as well. A good explanation of your experience without outing your shop. You pushed harder than most i think but still took a while to get traction... good to know. Some great tips, too. About ads, having different coupon codes to track where traffic came from, and about Hello Custom.

@Sisco035 5 месяцев назад

Thank you so much for the kind words! Oh yes I didn’t gain traction super quick but I am that person that believes I can do anything I set my mind to. I worked hard and utilized trial and error learned a lot and I continue to learn today. Super happy my tips were helpful to you. Out of this video coupon tips are super helpful. Especially if someone is trying to drive traffic through social media. Having a separate promo code for each stream of traffic is super helpful data. You can then look at the numbers and roughly see how many orders you’re getting from each stream. HelloCustom was a god sent over 4th quarter. The volume of orders I was receiving which were for simple personalization. Would have taken me hours on end to create I was able to review those in HelloCustom and click approve. 🤣 definitely worth checking out if you start to see a consistent order base each month. Definitely recommend holding off until then so you are not setting yourself behind on subscriptions.

Thank you for this interview! Congratulations, Francisco! I am new, can you tell us how to create the discounts for the Thank you cards? Also how to create discounts for bundles ? Also how to make scalable designs in Canva and how to upload so many listings a day ? Thank you !

@Sisco035 5 месяцев назад

Hey there thank you for the congrats! So for my thank you cards what I did was went to my sales and discount page and created a promo code. I made the promo code for the percent off I normally run on my shop. You set the first duration date as the date your creating the code and you check the box that states no end date. I named my code something meaningful because the customer will see this promo code on my thank you card. Maybe something like THANKYOU or anything really. I than made a QR code using the promo code URL and listed my shop url on the thank you card as well. This helps me be able to look at my sales and discount codes and track how many uses I am seeing from my thank you cards. As far as scaleable designs what I found works well for me is as follows. I have a canva canvas with a template of my common scaleable designs. I can easily just make a copy of that and change out the subject in each design. There is also another way where you can use the Bulk Create canva functionality. You can look up how to use that functionality since its kind of difficult to explain. So my flow to uploading designs is as follows. I do the research gather SEO title and tags, Make my designs, Make all my mock ups for each design, in printify I make a copy of a product I made before, Change the title, Upload my design save and repeat until al designs are in printify, I publish all of them hidden to etsy, In etsy I add my tags, place them in the right section, update my shipping profiles, Upload my mock ups i made to each listing 1 at a time, then publish. So I make my listings in batches instead of doing 1 design from start of my flow to the end of my flow.

Great interview!!! So what is “Hello Custom”?

@Sisco035 5 месяцев назад

Hello! HelloCustom is a paid service where you can automate personalizing orders. There is some set up involved but here is a rough sketch of how it work’s. You have a listing that is to personalize a EST year for say a nurse shirt. When the customer orders and places the year in the personalization box HelloCustoms will pick that order up. You can then login to your HelloCustoms and you have the ability so review all your personalized orders in your approval queue. You just make sure the software personalized your orders correctly and you just click approve. Once you hit approve it will send that personalized design to printify add it to that product and attach it to that customers order. This helped me drastically during Christmas time when I was recieving 40-100 personalized orders a day.

@Laflaqua-hg5yx 5 месяцев назад

Thank you!! i love these interviews 😍 so much to learn!! How do you deal with your customer service? I rememeber you saying that at one point you would only spent 2 hours a day on etsy, while getting lots of sales… how is that possible considering more sales = more customer service? I don’t understand how people can say this is passive income. During Christmas I had some decent sales, but customer service drove me bananas 🤯 I haven’t heard any RU-vidr talk about that

@Sisco035 5 месяцев назад

So from my experience customer service took a lot of time. But during busy seasons you can expect that. I would get messages about broken mugs, bad prints, and all sorts of things. What I found worked best for me is I would handle those as quickly as possible. My one strat I used is labels. You can label a message with a customer on the web version of etsy. So I would say label a message from a customer as something depending on what kind of customer service was needed. Say a customer needed a reprint I would label that message a so so I can have a running list of customers I need to provide a new tracking number. This helped me keep every customer accounted for. I seen this way easier than using a spreadsheet to keep tabs on all customers who needed help with something.

@@jenmarkosian8720 honestly on my own! I was like what is this label thing here mean? So I tried it and I was like oh this is cool. So I made some labels for diff things like say if someone messages me about a potential custom design I can label her message as custom and it will just group all your messages together. This just made it easier for me to find and reach back out to those customers quickly

@Sisco035 5 месяцев назад

Hello this is an amazing question. Honestly I had no previous design or marketing experience. I honestly still surprise myself today haha. Using canva and Kittl def helps! My background is in IT so I am a Software Engineer. This video is so accurate with how I started. I was talking with a friend on the phone he mentioned something about starting a POD shop he told me the ropes. I did my own research and I dove in and we started our own shops around the same time. What helped me is just research, I cant stress that enough. If you can get your research down and you see best sellers. Figure out WHY is that a best seller. What colors are they using ? what fonts? what mock ups? I can say once I started doing such and spreading this out to different niches I started seeing upward success. The trick of the trade is you are seeing what kind of designs are selling and you can dive into designs in those niches to stand out.

@CassiyJohnson 4 месяца назад

Francisco built his biz 100% off of just free YT videos! So it absolutely can be done. I sold about 100k before I paid for any coaching myself! I did get a lot of value out of being in a coaching program like the benefit of having a community to turn to daily whenever you have a roadblock or trouble with anything so that’s why I ended up building my course! It has lessons in all of the steps you’ll need to learn along the way along with a private community of hundreds of other sellers on the same journey as you ❤️ I host monthly live calls and release a monthly trend report as well for more support! Fransico is even joining us next Tuesday night at 6pm EST for a live Q&A session. I will say that most people don’t pick things up as fast as Fransico though, his buddy that started at the same time for example has only sold a couple hundred items instead of thousands like him. So for some people they do really need the more step by step guide to break through and get to where Francisco is! If you want more details, check out my website at Cassiyjohnson.com And maybe Fransico will comment and share his thoughts as well ❤️

@Sisco035 4 месяца назад

I fully agree with what Cassiy!! You could get by with watching free videos like I did. BUT I do feel like most people benefit from courses like this especially to be able to connect with others on the same path. My journey wasn’t easy by no means. But if I had a community I could have fell back on and had that reassurance my journey might have been even more smooth! I do pick up things quickly and I am not scared of change and adapting. That could also be why my shop has grow as quickly as it has.

Hello replying as quickly as I could 🤣 I do use both. I would say they both have great qualities for researching. For your needs I would really try one or the other. I recommend doing some research into both and seeing which one you would like to try using. Reason I say this so you are not putting your self in the hole by subscribing to many things before pulling profits.

Hello, and thank you for your valuable information! Did Francisco send physical cards, or digital ones?

@Sisco035 5 месяцев назад

Hello I sent out pretty much physical cards. I utilize most print providers which allows for branded inserts. This works wonders when a customer gifts someone one of your products. I see it as you’re expanding your customer base by only spending 10 to 15 cents.

@@Sisco035Do you do customize message cards when it is being sent as a gift directly to someone? If so, how do you do this to tell the recipient who it is from and the message from the giver?

@Sisco035 5 месяцев назад

@@jenmarkosian8720so with branded inserts you can offer gift messages as well. So customers will usually fill out a gift message to go along with the gift. If they do so the gift message and my thank you card will both be packaged with the product.

Very informative interview, I have a question though. How to add thank you card to your orders when it all supposed to be done for you by Printify and Itsey ?! Thank you

@Sisco035 Месяц назад

So on the left side bar in printify there is a branding section. There you can turn on package inserts which are thank you cards. You will have to use a design software like canva to create a nice branded thank you card and you can upload it as a package insert. Print providers which branded inserts are available for will then auto be printed and shipped with all orders.

Hi Cassiy, request here: when you do next week's video, please include a tutorial for the Etsy end, setting up a special coupon, etc. Thank you

@Sisco035 5 месяцев назад

Hello! I can actually explain how I set up a special coupon! What I do is on your sales and discount page you can create a promo code. You can set that promo code to whatever percent off you like. Pick dates you want that special coupon to run or you can make your coupon never end. You can then set up what listings you would like your promo code to be used with or you can set it up to run shop wide!

@DOCSUNRAY 5 месяцев назад

@@Sisco035 thank you for reply, but specifically I was wondering how the coupon codes do you send out on your Thank you cards work? Sorry I was unclear before.

@Sisco035 5 месяцев назад

@@DOCSUNRAY ah yes so how it works I have a QR code that links the customer to my shop which will auto apply the coupon code when they add a product to their shopping cart. After you make the promo code you will be given a url which has the coupon code at the end of it. So when the customer visits that url anything they add to their cart will auto apply that coupon code. Some customers just put the coupon code while in the shopping cart. There is a place in the shopping cart to apply shop coupon.

This is usually the hardest part of the POD journey. One thing I will say in order to be successful you need to be able to narrow down the problems. One tip if you are not seeing success breath and take it one step at a time. My advice change one thing and one thing only at a time and see if you start seeing upward trends. When I say one thing I mean maybe use a different main mock up image. Maybe research and get brand new mock ups and do some split testing. Copy some listings and post them with new images. If you don’t see much traction there then move on and try to make a different change.

@Sisco035 5 месяцев назад

Hello! I wouldn’t say your designs suck. I think in this video I did make a point to get small wins. Getting sales are great getting those reviews helps your shop credibility. Those reviews help boost your listings that do sell and over time as you repeat sell those a best seller might happen. I would continue to design and add more value to the market place and you’re bound to grow.

@Sisco035 4 месяца назад

Hello! Well to gain trust it all comes from having a very professional looking shop. Branded logo with a nice Banner nice content in your FAQ of your shop does also help with shop trust. Now when it comes to print quality that does come over time. If you do have very unique designs and you do sell those. The bread and butter is getting those customer reviews. Once you can get some very good feedback in the terms of reviews that is all most customers need to gain trust. So for me to keep my customers trusting is just by doing what I do every day. Give my customers the best customer service when they do reach out about problems.
