wanted to make passive income on Etsy
but not sure what exactly you need to
open up your Etsy store keep watching
hi guys welcome back to my channel so my
channel has been getting a lot of
interest and a lot of searches and you
know keywords all to do with Etsy
passive income so I wanted to explore
that a little bit more today I'm going
to be talking about exactly what you
need to start an Etsy printable store
now printables on Etsy is a fantastic
because not only is it passive it's also
really really creative and you really
don't need to invest any money upfront
in stock and things like that you don't
need to post anything out which saves
you a heck of a lot of money on jiffy
bags and boxes and all in all there's
not really a lot of information on
YouTube that I have found about
printables on Etsy specifically so today
I'm gonna give you my list for things
you absolutely need to start your
printable Etsy shop so physical things
that you will need to start a printable
Etsy shop is obviously a computer a
space to work uninterrupted selling
printables on Etsy is very
computer-based so you need to make sure
that you have a space that you can work
solidly without being interrupted a
schedule because again as I've mentioned
before it's very computer heavy you
spend a lot of time on your laptop on
your desktop so you have to make sure
that you schedule in time to make
products and learn about a printable
shop on etsy now a side though on this I
have so many of these types of videos on
my channel so be sure to subscribe and
watch some of the videos you also need a
place to get your graphics from now I
personally use creative market it's a
really fantastic market place for all
sorts of really talented graphic
creators and artists on there I have got
a video on how to specifically find
legal graphics that you can use on your
Etsy shop and I will link that up here
and in the description box below you
also need a printer if you want to
eventually start offering physical
prints not only that but it's also good
to print out physically they print after
you've made it as
prints in that sentence so that you can
see what it's physically like
alternatively if you don't like invest
in a printer you can always use a print
on demand supplier if you eventually
want to offer physical prints of your
prints there's so many prints in that
don't even know what to sell as well as
the physical things that you need there
are also some key principles that you
must know before starting your printable
shop on Etsy you need to know where your
skills lie what your skill set is
it's no good wanted to make things like
Photoshop brush presets and you want to
you know create your printers on the
Photoshop if you don't have the software
and you have no clue or no intention of
learning how to use it now I have a free
little mini course on printables on Etsy
using canva again I'll link that up here
somewhere but at the end of the day you
need to identify when your skill set lie
and what you'd ideally like to learn you
also need to know who your printables
are for this is kind of like what your
target market is you cannot serve
everyone if you try to serve everyone
you will serve no one it's so tempting
with printable shops to just experiment
have fun and throughout all different
types of printables but again if we're
trying to serve everybody you won't
truly serve anybody the idea here is to
basically build a brand with your Etsy
shop which will then command a tribe of
people that are dedicated to you to your
brand they love your cause they love all
of the things that you create that my
friends is the aim of the game and if
you're putting up so many different
types of prints you won't attract your
tribe you will not build a proper brand
and people won't really know what your
shop is about to do this you really need
to niche down and specifically design a
printables for this specific person that
you want to serve now also as mentioned
before you need to really really know
where you're sourcing your graphics from
creative market and Etsy a two of the
main places that I would suggest again I
have videos on this on my channel so
please go and check those out please do
not get them from Google it is early
you just have gone to Google download a
graphic a slap it on an a4 document and
go there get it's a print you can't do
that guys please make sure to source it
legally you will also need to do your
product research and ensure that what
you create will actually sell now when I
do this with my jewelry business
although the process is essentially the
same
I go to Etsy and Pinterest and I really
take a look at what is already popular
now Etsy is a fantastic place because
after all that's where we're gonna sell
do some market research head to some
Etsy shops go to some successful
printable Etsy shops yourself write down
you know why they are successful why
they come on the prices that they do how
many sales they've had how long it
opened on Etsy for go on their social
media channel join up to their email
list and just really take an in-depth
look at them but really you only want to
create printables but are likely to
attract your target customer and sell
well printables have such a creative
freedom it's really important to rein
yourself in and again and they sound
like a flippin broken record but please
only make products that will serve your
target customer and sold their pain
point or their problem for example if
you have someone that's just bought a
new home they are expecting a baby
they're wanting to decorate their baby's
room with baby prints or things like
that you don't want to be selling gothic
black you know prints with skulls and
things on in the same shop because that
will turn off your target market because
obviously she is looking for Kitty pink
blue yellow cute little ABC signs I'm
not really sure what kids like in their
big script but I think you can kind of
get where I'm coming from here this will
attract a certain type of market this
will attract a certain type of market
don't cross them over because you will
end up serving neither and the last
thing you need is a plan of action now I
have personally made a 30 days to a
kick-butt
Etsy shop workbook it is available in
the description box below it's free I'm
afraid that for you go and grab it it's
a big document you can print it off if
you want to or you
viewer in PDF form but again it really
helps you create well it actually spells
out for you a 30 day action plan to
launch your shop on the right foot and
primed to make sales so definitely going
for up that below so guys I really hope
you enjoyed this video give it a big
thumbs up if you did subscribe if you
haven't already I love you all and I
shall see you in the next one bye
