@emilyduvall9954 Год назад

My understanding from research and experience is that Etsy will not show your products in search on the first several (or more!) pages until you make some sales, which means you still have to drive your own traffic to Etsy. For that reason, I decided to build my own site. However, if I could do it over again, I probably would have started out driving traffic to Etsy until Etsy started to show my listings organically. And I could have done this while building my own website.

@shonp3761 Год назад

70+ percent of my Esty traffic is self driven which is the number 1 reason I am even considering Shopify. That and since my traffic is self driven, I would like better information on where that is coming from. The "Direct & Other Traffic" really isn't helpful.

@campnewyear Год назад

And... Some top sellers will (study) your designs and create their own.. now that's business I think 🥲

@larrymorrison904 Год назад

I don't mind the cost and I have money to invest, but I've read so much about Shopify's apps costly more and more and more. I'm just wondering about the functionality of a basic Shopify store with no added apps. I'm sure there are some good apps out there that I might want to invest in, but I also don't want to keep getting nickel and dimed to death just to keep the thing going or up-to-date. Is a no-frills Shopify store adequate for POD?

I'm a bit confused, on another video you say avoid Etsy because of the number of searches coming up with a title, and to use Shopify.. Maybe just do both and test out. I know niches are important, be unique.

@lahvi Год назад

I was a bit confused by the title of the video. In another video you talked about strategy and there you said that it is better to have your own e-shop. I have the same opinion. Later in the video I understood everything :-) I have been doing online marketing for 10 years. I am now starting my first POD e-shop. I am doing quality preparation and so I am watching your videos. It's important for me to choose the right platforms and apps to start with. I don't like marketplaces. I hope I never need them.

@gunhann 9 месяцев назад

It seems that big online marketplaces like Etsy and Amazon are becoming oversaturated, making it difficult for your listings to be seen without spending on ads. However, using ads can eat away at your profits. With Shopify, you have more control over your online store, but you need to find your own traffic which is also challenging. If you have a significant social media following, you may be able to direct buyers to your own store. However, it's hard to tell which approach is easier. If you have a large social media following, opening your own store may be a viable option. Otherwise, it may not be the best choice.

Hello. Does anyone here know if I can have multiple POD suppliers connected to my Shopify store? For example Printify and Printful together? When processing an order, does the system know which supplier it should give information to in order to ship the order? Or I can only have one POD supplier connected to one e-shop.

I started a pod with Shopify but for some reason my images would show up looking faded or just didn’t look right. I always ordered my own stuff 1st just to see what my customers would be getting. They always looked good on Shopify but the actual product didn’t come out good from Printful so I just stopped using it all together

In 2019 I built a store with Shopify and was doing POD through it. I started advertising on Facebook which I have a business page. Everything was going along fine until Facebook took $250 out of my checking account. That was all I had at the time and it completely destroyed my hopes of getting the business started. I was still ignorant of the game and I just had to shut down my store and I really tabled it until now. I am facing hard times again and I need to get busy with something I can do to make some cash. Yeah, I am a little afraid to do it. Once bitten twice shy, baby.

@RealJoeRobert 6 месяцев назад

Sounds like part of the story is missing. I don’t think Facebook just steals money

@Urinal1000 Год назад

The problem a lot of people will have with shopify is a lot of time you need to either know how to code or take the time to find youtube videos on it as to do anything other than a very basic page you need to pay for monthly apps - taking it to an costly monthly expense

@RealJoeRobert Год назад

I have had several pod stores and have never had to do custom code.. I’ve also created case studies of stores I’ve built that had zero paid apps on them

@adammcallister9675 Год назад

@@RealJoeRoberthis point is that Shopify is not a one-size fit all and is not a cost-effective or simple solution depending on what one is selling. One CAN use Shopify in ABC ways. But is that right for everyone? No.

A very good reason would be that you can't actually integrate things like Printify like everyone makes it seem so easy to do UNLESS you pay for a Shopify plan that costs $1000 a year. The Printify shipping calculator won't work -in other words you can't just let the POD site take care of your orders and ship them with a $30 a month Basic plan. I was on a chat with Shopify for three hours today. Ugh!

@JohnVijlbrief 11 месяцев назад

What I find frustrating about all those RU-vid videos about POD is that so many contradict each other. Personally, I consider you one of the most knowledgeable POD ninjas! However, I also take issue with your stance on 'avoid Shopify'. No, if you don't have money, don't do it. I've had websites as long as websites have existed, since around 2000. Nowadays, it's all so easy... I used to work with Dreamweaver... Glad I don't do that anymore... But regarding Shopify: integrate apps from platforms like Printify and such. My product categories are too diverse, so I prefer spreading my products across various POD channels. I've worked with Etsy before, and I wasn't satisfied with it. The competition there is too overwhelming; your products get lost in the Etsy ocean. Plus, you still have to pay $0.20 per listing, in addition to a commission on your sales. The most important factors are and remain SEO, niches, keywords, and ranking!!

Realistically, we're lucky to make enough to buy a coffee. It's a gold rush. The money is in selling supplies and guides to the prospectors.

Sorry dude. But are you a paid shill? Shopify is not right for everyone. And not paying expenses up front you do not have to until you have some bank to invest vs get sucked dry is a viable strategy getting into something as low-margin as POD or dropshipping. And POD is a long game. High up front costs and doing most of the work when you likely have lots of other things to work on, like your designs, is not good business. Shopify CAN be digital sharecropping if your niche doesn’t scale high to cover all those expenses. Its all about the right about of tool for the right amount of value to capture.
