what's up guys Ryan here I'm releasing
this video as a part of my new dropship
print-on-demand mini course where I walk
you through how to set up the print
Follette see integration and get your
first products listed for sale on Etsy
as well as a couple marketing tips so in
this video we're gonna walk through
creating your first Etsy product listing
manually which is required before you
can integrate Etsy with your printful
account so login to your shop manager on
etsy hit listings on the left side and
then on the right-hand side in the top
right corner hit add listing there's a
button there alright now this is the
product creation screen and before you
know if you're not familiar with how the
printful Etsy integration works when you
create products after the integration
gets started you'll create the product
in printful using their wizard which is
very intuitive very clean very fast it's
amazing and then it'll fill in almost
all the information here on the Etsy
product listing for you all you have to
do is come here make a couple clicks and
hit publish takes about 10 seconds but
for this first time we have to do it
manually so here for photo hit add photo
and I have a picture of the mug that you
can actually use on my blog post here I
put the link available in the images
section of the blog post links in the
description it basically walks you
through how to create an Etsy listing
like what I'm about to show you so I put
an image here you only need to do one
because I'm just gonna use this as a
placeholder for the initial product
listing that I have to create so that I
can integrate printful with my Etsy
account I'm not actually planning on
selling this product this is just one of
these quick like get it done and then
get the integration going and then
actually start posting your real
products is how I see this and it's
gonna cost you 20 cents plug dealer
coffee mug who made it I did what is it
a finished product when did you make it
made to order category type mugs follow
the suggestion material ceramic primary
color white
can be personalized so this is up to you
guys if it's just a throw away product
like I'm doing right now then I don't
care about personalizations but I should
mention that enabling Etsy
personalizations is a great way of
standing out and getting extra sales
when you're a new shop yeah well you
really want to like do anything you can
to increase the likelihood of getting a
customer getting a sale personalizations
is a great way of doing that now really
large shops that are getting lots of
organic sales like my main shop I don't
need to worry about doing
personalizations across the board on my
products because that's extra work for
me I'd rather just you know kick back
and have it truly be passive but if it's
a brand new shop you don't have a lot of
feedback or if it's really truly brand
new you have no feedback
you should definitely offer
personalizations because you got to do
everything you can to convince customers
to buy from you because it's definitely
gonna hurt your conversion rate to have
no feedback renewal options manual
description so this is the default
description for a mug that printful will
give you that I just pulled from my
other demo product listing in this demo
account so every time you create a
coffee mug listening through printful
they'll automatically generate something
like this for you and put it there so
even if you don't type anything because
if you're really trying to create a lot
of designs and a lot of products your
time is probably better spent not typing
out long descriptions for every product
because how much you sell is really I
truly believe a function of how much you
design and how much how much online real
estate you occupy meaning how many
products are you selling on how many
marketplaces you want to cover as much
Internet real estate as possible if you
don't know where customers are going to
look to find products production partner
now your in this case for this first
product if it's a throwaway product
doesn't matter right no need to set
anything but if you're selling
print-on-demand on Etsy you are gonna
need to set your production partner for
every print-on-demand listing now I have
a separate video that'll walk you
through how to add production partners
to your Etsy account now I already have
printful and gear bubble added so I'm
just gonna click print full even though
if this is truly a throwaway product
then it doesn't matter click it don't
click it whatever all right section you
want to use sections if this is a real
product that you intend to sell sections
help
you do bulk control of your Etsy
listings and I'll do other videos on
this in the future but you can like say
you have 2,000 products on Etsy and
their mix of hats t-shirts and mugs
categorizing into hats t-shirts and mugs
is a really really helpful thing when
you're trying to like bulk manage
pricing and things like that like maybe
you want to experiment running a 30% off
sale on just t-shirts but to offset the
cost you want to up your t-shirt costs
by 30% and using sections will enable
you to do that so I'm gonna create a
section called coffee mugs and also guys
the true wal Mon the subject if you're
gonna create sections my suggestion is
create sections based on the base cost
of the products so for instance printful
hats they have some hats that cost base
cost $14 some that costs 15 all the way
up to like 18 so I would create sections
based on the base cost of your products
now I primarily upload t-shirts to the
Gildan 64000 which has a base cost of
$8.95 and I would just throw all my
t-shirts that are that t-shirt into a
into a section for t-shirts but hats I
might create like multiple different hat
sections because again if you're running
sales you want to be able to bulk
control pricing really quickly and
easily and I'm probably talking about
this too much but it trust me sections
really matter an Etsy
alright tags if you're intending to
actually sell something on Etsy always
use all 13 tags always in Etsy's help
article related to being found on etsy
search they place a huge emphasis on
using tags way more than they emphasize
using the description so the big ones
that are gonna get you found are the
title and the tags make sure you use
them materials I usually just skip that
I think that's for handmade stuff
alright price just put something in like
1999 by the way printful mugs are pretty
expensive if you're gonna sell mugs and
you want to pay for the gear bubble
integrations which I'm against paying
monthly integration fees if you don't
have to but your bubble mugs I have a
lot more cushion for pricing and
printful seem to be a little pricey
also print foals mugs shipping costs are
higher as well so I used to always say
that like you can make money on printful
using the dynamic shipping options and
pocket a little bit like charge your
customers flat rate and then use print
folds dynamic shipping and you typically
get like a dollar fifty to two dollars
extra because shipping through print
folds dynamic shipping is not that
expensive but on their mugs is pretty
expensive
alright quantity to put $9.99 is this
print on demand anyways cuz prime demand
you have infinite SKU you can skip this
it's not like Amazon where they force
you to add that variations I mean if
you're selling products with variations
use the printful wizard it will create
all the variations for you doing this
the manual way slow bulky no need
alright personalization this is where
you actually enable it and disable it so
in this case if you want to you can
enable it say instructions your buyers
please let me know what personalization
you had in mind in your order before you
order alright personalization is
optional yes character limits you might
as well leave it at 256 and then they
can tell you based on your design what
they had in mind and that way you leave
it open-ended you're gonna do a little
bit extra work but you're gonna really
increase the odds of getting the sale by
enabling personalizations if your shop
is brand new if your shops not brand new
turn this off
alright shipping if this is your first
product listing created on Etsy and you
don't have the integration then you will
not see all these shipping options
you'll likely need to create your own
shipping option just for this first
product listing if that's the case guys
I would just suggest publish this
listing so that you can integrate Etsy
with printful and then delete the
listing because you can just reven if
you did want to sell this design just
recreate it through the printful wizard
everything will be set up for you but
you will not be seeing these shipping
options if you haven't done the
integration yet you're gonna have to go
through manually create one it's kind of
bulky but slow but you know again it's a
one-time thing once you're done with
that guys item weight and item size you
only need to fill these out if you're
buying your shipping through at sea at
their discounted rate meaning for
customer buys from you through Etsy Etsy
will say purchase shipping in the email
that they send you notifying you of the
sale and then
they'll let you buy shipping through
them at a discounted rate but if you're
doing print-on-demand
obviously you don't have to do that
because printful will create the product
and ship it to your customer and upload
tracking and mark to order complete all
for you you don't have to do anything
so skip these unless you're selling like
a handmade for some reason product that
you're gonna fulfill on Etsy then hit
publish and you're about to publish a
new listing you hit publish it'll charge
you 20 cents and then your listing will
be live on Etsy so I'm not gonna charge
20 cents to this account for no reason
and you'll get something like this
you'll start to see your listing on Etsy
at that point if you actually view it on
Etsy you can if you're viewing your own
product on Etsy you will see an
additional listing toolbar here and you
can always edit straight from here you
can hit renew if you hit renew it'll uh
bump its rank in the search results I
don't know if a lot of people know that
but it's Etsy's way of incentivizing
sellers to renew their listings before
you actually have to renew them which of
course who makes money if that happens
Etsy does so they love that you can hit
copy deactivate delete etc you can see
stats that's it for creating a product
listing manually on Etsy again it's a
one-time thing then you use the print on
demand integrations and your life gets
infinitely easier because trust me the
printful wizard is so easy to use it's
great it's fast everything about it I
love anyways that's it for this video
