Should you have 2 Etsy Shops - MY OPINION!? 

I'm a top 100 shop owner that is typically inside the top 20 now in daily sales on Etsy and I have another mirror shop. While the additional store has added some revenue and increased our footprint on Etsy without forcing us to add inventory, it's been INCREDIBLY difficult to mimic the same success as our primary store. Even with all the knowledge and experience, it just goes to show you there's a bit of luck needed.

I agree you gotta let your baby Etsy store grow into an adult first !

You inspire the heck out of me, Hannah! I have similar goals - 2 Etsy stores, 2 Shopify stores, 1 SaaS product and later a marketing agency focussed only on vegan and sustainable tech startups in 2 years. Wish me luck!😊

Hi Hannah, your videos are really helpful - you fit all the important bits in just a few mins video which makes it easy to digest. I have a question about opening a 2nd Etsy shop. I recently opened one with handmade crafts however I don't have any sales or reviews yet. I have a couple of digital assets ready but I'm unsure if I should publish them in the current shop because I'm away for a month or so twice every year. I can set it to vacation mode but this means my digital products would not sell while I'm away when they're actually available to purchase. Will it be best to create a second exclusively digital shop in this case? If I decide to do them in 1 shop and go away for a month can I change the physical items to "out of stock" so I don't lose ranking but sell the digital assets in the meantime? Thank you :)

Excellent advice! thanks

question: if you already have an etsy shop (that sells digital items), do you need to create another etsy shop if you want to connect with printify? Or can you select which listings you want to have made by printify? For example i could be making a digital planner in my digital items shop, that does not need to be send to printify. I hope you understand my question!

This video really helped not to jump in the fire (Which I was totally going to do). After watching this video it has made me realize that it is to early for me to start a 2nd Etsy shop. Back in my mind I thought of these pssoibilites are thought I was up for the challenge. Welp this video has put be back on track to make my current brand more systematic. So Thanks for such informative video :D

I have a question. I've gone back and forth as to whether I should have different Etsy shops depending on what's being sold. The Etsy shop I've had the longest I sell Cash Envelopes. I've recently added a few digital products and register for the envelopes themselves. What I'm unsure about is if I'd like to sell digital products that aren't cash envelope related and then also doing POD products that have nothing to do with budgeting/cash envelopes. I've had conflicting answers as to whether having all of these products in one shop or if I have my initial shop stays as my cash envelope shop, then do the digital products in shop, and the POD in a third shop. What is the best way to do this?

Totally right on! So silly (sad) that some of the YT gurus are telling the newbies to open multiple stores. Makes NO sense. Thanks!

Hi Hannah..I was just wondering if there any limit on the number of listings we can post on Etsy per day as a new seller?I have 150 t-shirt designs Ready to go for my General print-on-demand apparel store on Etsy but not sure if I can post all 150 per day or should I take it slow and post 50 designs per day for the next 3 days! I would appreciate your response,thanks!

Awsome advice thx

Hi Hannah - I'm curious, IF you opened a second etsy shop, would you just do a DBA? There's no (government/taxes) need to keep expenses/profits separate, is there? It just seems like the simplest solution, so I'm curious what you think.

Your logic is sound and captures the essence of many business failures I've witnessed. The point is to iron out the process and automate yourself "out of a job" essentially. I'm an engineer... so this may be overly geeky. However I love to think of it all as systems building. Your just building systems. When you have built a system well enough that you can hardly touch it, just popping in to offer high level guidance, then its time for the next project. Organizations are systems. Everything is a 'system' in one sense or another. I use this pattern, this viewpoint, applied in many aspects of life. Cycles and systems. Build systems. Create life, nurture it, send it off into the world. Same as parenting. Same as teaching. So many things fit this basic cyclical pattern. At its core, its what humanity does most, and best. Make systems. Organize the un-organized. Refine it. Standardize it. Move onto the next thing. Even though you break it down in the micro-chasm of this context, its still directly applicable, conceptually, to humanity writ large. Its what humans do. Its how we build community and technology. How we protect our species. I'll take off my philosopher hat now. I blame the coffee and the friday afternoon attitude lmaoo

Hi Hannah. Is it okay to add other products on an apparel etsy store? let's say mugs, pillows? can it still project a branded store? thanks

Would you recommend expanding existing etsy gig to another platform like Shopfy - same name, brand, products, etc, just different venue to potential customers?

Hi! Is this possible to make a second store with personal details and it will be long-term or not?

PLEASE ANSWER THIS: I sell digital items, but want to now sell them as ACTUAL PRINTS...in the same shop they would confuse folks right?

Helpful thanks.

What about your own store? Does it get constant views from RU-vid by people that are not buying and killing your percentage? Do you have second store to protect the public store you shared on RU-vid? And how would that work if you have to disclose in your profile all your stores? If you do not share a list of your stores in your profile can your followers find out all your other stores from your profile?

I recently started a second store to give my first store a more consistent look and nich (digital downloads-images) The second store is POD using my image creations on products. Both stores are struggling. It seems to me like I'm creating images that are a natural fit for both stores. With two stores I'm able to give the stores a more consistent look and theme. Am I delusional? Did I make a mistake?

Hey Hannah, are you still using sales samurai? X

I opened my second shop & I got my second one suspended for NO REASON, no violations broken. I Filed an appeal & they said it is permanently suspended & its final. Now Im terrified that they will suspend my original first shop that I worked so hard to create. Should I be worried?

If I had an additional 60 hours to spend per week on the new second store - I’d consider it. 🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️

DOPE.

Etsy has frequency capping and I feel like no matter how many listings I add I don’t get anymore traffic. I started a new store to hopefully get some more sales.

This girl is the GOAT 👏🏼👏🏼

I wish you could help me to make my Etsy store more profitable.

How big can an Etsy store get before you have to start recruiting employees?

i don't know what you talking about. i love to knit and i love to paint, i just wanna sell my staff. Eatsy was made for people like me, hand makers, not for business people,

Hey, did u get my emails? I'm still waiting for your response on email.
