Etsy Challenge

[woky]

Hi guys! A moderator please move this thread if it’s in the wrong section as I don’t know where else to post this as it’s Etsy related.
I noticed we don’t do personal challenge topics here so here I go with mine.


Foreword :

I am starting this thread as a way for me to keep motivated and track my personal records as well as sharing them with the community! If the administrators/mods encourage this type of threads, please make your own too ! I will definitely follow your journey. If not, I’m not breaking any rules on Purpose.

Personal background:

- in my early twenties
- working about 60hrs/ week so I’m doing this in my spare time as a way of achieving some kind of financial freedom.
- I enjoy travelling
- London based

My personal goals for etsy:
-

- Make 3000£ in a month - done
- Make 4000£ in a month - done
- Make 5000£ in a month
- Hit 10K £ month at least once
- 100£/ day - done
- 200£/day - done
- 500£/day

I sell mostly digitals so about 90-95% from the revenue it’s pure profit.
The ones you see already ‘done’are achieved with only 1 shop. I plan on opening more
Based on the previous results, I should be able to achieve these goals with 2 shops only
Will be posting pictures as the journey develops.

This is cool. Mine is now open too but I haven't uploaded listings yet coz I am trying to figure out how to open my account without getting closed again, lol. My shop has lasted for only 4 months before they closed it. It generated $15K in sales and about $6K in profits.

I hope to read another post about your journey.

Goodluck.

Trial and error is the best and worst way to learn =)
If I would have a lot of time on my hands I would have 10+ shops open at any given time. But for now, I’ll open another one this weekend and upload around 100listings.
I might make a rule for myself to open one per week, but idk.. we’ll see!

This is crazy. I admire you.

Speaking of shops, if you create another one do you plan to use the same info from your new shop or different info?

All new info

Did you use your photo from your former shop to the new shop? Did you remake them? I'm curious if they can track it.

Listing photos? Yes, cause I imported 100 listings with etscsv
Shop photo and banner? No

Keep us updated how you do! I also write down goals to achieve each month to keep me on track. Also selling on etsy but doing it full time and in my early 20s too!

I'm still kinda scared to put my old listings. so i keep on putting brand new ones =/

How do you import csv to your shop? All I can see in Option is download csv no import or upload. I have 100 listings from Bonanza and I want to put them all on my E*sy shop. Thanks.

It’s a paid service and Ihave to let you know that I haven’t figured out how to process/ import the variations correctly. Just google EtsCsv

Btw About Bonanza!
Hows it? Does it have decent traffic of buyers? i mean like, is it worth to sell there as well?

Thanks in advance

My 100 items are in Bonanza for 3 weeks already and I haven't gotten a sale yet. Only 82 views and I'm a Gold member a premium subscription I should be getting a lot of traffic. I dunno I feel like it's not worth it. Maybe others do well.

looking cool let try and see what happen

[woky]

Hi guys!
Sorry for not posting in a while but I’ve been busy working.
Shop is up at 54 orders.
Getting around 4/500 views a day. Good, but could do better. I’m trying to make this as passive as possible and it is.( selling digitals so no shipping involved)
SEO it’s slowly rolling and will be getting more views soon. All views are from etsy. No outside marketing done on this shop.

This weekend I will create another stealth shop and I have around 300 listings ready for it. I will be posting them manually so it might take a week or so( no, i never had problems with publishing too many listings - not a red flag in any of my cases)
The only reason I’m doing it manually it’s because I cannot figure out EtsCSV importing options.
The Premium Service( which I’m using) imports everything right but not the variations so I rather do them manually.

Will include more screenshots as this unfolds.

The stealth guide will do that for you!

[woky]

Quick update : just opened second store on my phone. I figured it’s a good idea since I’m at work most of the time and will be managing this one from my phone.
The first one averages 150£/ day at the moment.

[wilburnet]

Great job Woky.
I had a lull of zero orders from the 22nd to 30th October but things are picking up again to average 3/4 orders per day.
