all right let's take a look at this etsy
shop all right so here we are we have
the
gemocity etsy shop i can put a link in
the description if anybody wants to
check it out for yourself
from new york united states on etsy
since 2020
and they have nine sales but at least
they've got their first review which is
awesome when you launch a new etsy shop
make sure you get that first review i
recommend just having a
friend or family member that doesn't
share an ip address with you going ahead
and just purchasing something from your
shop even if it's like a digital
download
post it for like 99 cents and then let
them give you that first review since it
pops up on all of your
listings in search results all right so
let's take a look at some of the stuff
you guys have
for sale um you got some cool shirts
here like the deadlift shirt by the way
got a compliment already
that your shirts are very easy to read
from the thumbnail you're very
zoomed in which is something i really do
recommend
since people are buying the design more
than they're buying the t-shirt
in most cases so you got a skull saying
deadlift i like the color scheme there
too the black skull though against the
black shirt
doesn't pop that much i think the red
one actually looks nice even though the
white one
or heather gray is looking really good
there too
so maybe that would have been a better
choice for the primary thumbnail
actually maybe this one
um but that's a that's a nice nice
looking shirt
let's see what else sweat is just fat
crying that's pretty funny
oh you got a video here very nice check
that out
jimocity got your shop is it gonna show
the
actual design or is it just there you go
very nice
that looks very professional so you went
above and beyond there with creating
these uh video ads
it doesn't look like you did it for all
of your products but so check out these
pendants this is really cool i don't
know what you're using to
create these or if this is something
that is uh truly handmade that maybe you
are
fulfilling yourself but that's really
cool it looks like there's
kind of a long shipping delay though it
looks like it ships within
two to four days but doesn't arrive
until
january 26 through february 12th which
is a little bit weird ah there you go
ships from china so that's what it is so
maybe it's like a drop shipping thing
but it's still cool that you are um
selling these on your shop
i wonder what what uh production partner
you might be using to fulfill those and
if they integrate automatically so that
you don't have to manually create these
orders
um that is pretty cool that you're doing
that
fits with the gym theme all over print
halloween
unisex fitness gym you know this may not
seem like a fitness
hoodie but if you ever like look at the
people that do like the olympia
or the arnold classic you know big power
lifting you know steroids
uh meets the they do tend when they
train like
dur then they train for those events
they usually do wear like sweatshirts
and a hoodie
and kind of keep their physique under
wraps um i only
trust me it's not like i do that but i
know that i know it because i do watch
some youtube videos and whatnot
um about the bodybuilders for
inspiration right i like this one you
got the tesla cyber truck here
back to work elon musk funny t one thing
i'd say you should do is probably
expand the keywords in your title what i
like to do is put phrases that i think
people would search for relevant to my
shirt
or my design in the in the title and i
like to
squeeze almost like pretty much as much
as i can in there
to get indexed on as much as possible
and then also the
tags obviously are going to be important
um you got a sports bra
oh check this out wait this might be the
person
that were you the maybe i wrote this
shop down because they were the person i
don't remember because it was a while
ago
but i did do an amazon merch review like
a test
of this style of a shirt design where
you put basically like
the same color as the fabric of the
shirt letters and then when you get
sweaty and it changes the color of the
shirt and it actually worked i tested it
with like the silver shirt from amazon
merch and the
uh light light heather gray and it works
on both of them actually so that was a
cool idea and i guess maybe i borrowed
it from you
so that's pretty cool the sweat
activated and here you got a sports bra
um a bunch of different colors this is
probably from china too right
no yeah there you go ships from china um
that's still pretty cool
uh there's no print on demand aspect of
it though so maybe it's
you know i don't know 1590 is that
really how much it costs
yeah 16 bucks for a sports bra so that's
not bad um i wonder if you've sold any
p other people want this four have this
in their carts there you go
and free shipping from china to the us
as long as people are willing to here's
the only thing guys like on etsy uh
where is the
i guess i don't see the shipping
estimate on this one but
you know etsy customers are very vocal
and
if they like haven't received their
product in a
short enough window of time you may
start getting cancellation requests for
something that's already in the mail
and then you might be out the money so
that's something i would really just pay
attention to also like at 16 bucks
you know i don't know what the base cost
of these are but just make sure that
you're not losing money because etsy
also takes their cut
and you pay the 20 cent renewal fee et
cetera et cetera so make sure that
because that seems like a good price
point but
get the muscle santa leg day best not
talk to me
you know for me leg day often turns into
uh
a day off so i'm not gonna lie um but i
will say
i'm happy to report that i did get in
there for leg day this week so
my hamstrings are absolutely killing me
that's why you gotta get in get in there
more often right
uh what else you got you got the
deadlift shirt again sweat is just fat
leaving the
gym and tonic that's pretty funny it's a
cool design here
so i like that you mixed it up too with
some different colors in some of your
thumbnails
so you got the red and the blue instead
of just black oh the fibonacci spiral
nice
i like that train hard or stay home if
these are original designs i think
you're
really doing a great job from a graphic
design standpoint
i don't believe in magic i believe in
workouts see i already like man
i've been i've been going i've been
spending so much time in the gym since i
was like 16 years old that i like all
the workout memes but i was never big
into like
purchasing the funny shirts i just like
to wear either i used to wear tank tops
and i kind of switched into
um just whatever t-shirt i'm wearing
that day but
anyways so the one thing i'd say too is
like only 39 products
kind of disappointing i know your shop
is at least a few months old because
i've had it written down on my list for
a while
you shouldn't give up i mean i think
you're spot on with like how to approach
design and also how to frame your
thumbnails
so that people can read the design in
the thumbnail i would say that you know
like when you have a thumbnail like this
one you can go into photoshop photopia
whatever magic wand the background off
and then
put some color in the background you
know on amazon you have to have the
white background on etsy there's no
restrictions
so don't be afraid to mix it up and put
something that pops
because you gotta you know you're
competing for attention when you get
somebody to slow down and look at what
you're actually selling
that's step one and then if they like it
enough to click it step two and then if
they like it enough to
add to cart step three and then step
four they get to the checkout process
and if the price plus shipping isn't too
high and the shipping delays aren't too
bad then step four
or five whatever step we're on they
actually purchase from you and you get
the sale
so be thinking of you know the whole
process from the customer perspective
also
you guys that watch me do these etsy
reviews you know what am i about to say
always run a sale you know you got to be
running a sale there's no excuse not to
there's
it's so easy to run a sale go to your
shop manager go to i think it's
marketing
then go to sales and coupons then go to
sale
run a sale set the duration to
you know if you do it every two days
then it'll put a timer on the listing
or if you just do it for as long as you
possibly can i think it's like a month
you know then do that
and you can go into your shop manager
and then your inventory tab select all
products this is why i like to group
them
in sections by base cost and you can
offset the base
price of your products to um
so that like if you run a 10 off sale
you just offset the price on the high
end so that when they run the 10 off
sale they're still paying the same
amount of money
that they would have without the sale so
you don't actually lose any money
so kind of a slick trick there but
remember when they're looking at search
results
and you want them to click you and not
your competition you got to have that
sale running you got to have
um a good design they can read and you
got to have at least one review which
you do have so that's good
um page two you only have three products
here i do like this design a lot
that's really nice if you did that the
real workout starts
when you wanna stop the only thing is i
couldn't really see when you in there
that text
but i really like the design there um
the distressed text
the thick bold letters the font
variations the contrast everything the
colors
um well done so i don't know if there's
anything else left to say about the
the shop i mean the header image i
skipped right past it but look how
professional that looks you know very
well branded
um the way that it's the the text is
overlaid with the white outer glow
blends right in with the uh the chalk in
the guy's hands that's about to
powerlift
and you've got your instagram and your
facebook there i mean
what's not to love about this so i think
you're on your way
to success as an etsy print on demand
seller and also non-print-on-demand
seller because you've got the sports bra
in the
pendant just keep going don't give up
man just keep pushing
i know i had this shop on my list prior
to christmas so you really should have
been pushing hard
to get as many products as you could
have up ahead of christmas to capitalize
on that sales rush
um but you know what there's always this
year right i was gonna there's always
next year but this year just started so
uh keep it up and guys thanks for
watching that's pretty much all i wanted
to cover in this video so
you know hit that like button hit that
subscribe button and go enjoy the rest
of your weekend
you
