@Mihai VolintiriuWouldn't it be better to set the shop currency to USD in this case?

Best Month So Far
This has been my best month so far in the four months I've been using PrintShrimp. I made a profit of around $800 this month, which is definitely a lot of money for me! It's honestly a little embarrassing to admit that it took me 5 months to get my first sale, but the truth is I was doing everything wrong and wasn't putting much effort into it. Ever since I joined this community about 4 months ago, I've been much more focused, and it has been 100% worth it. With a bit more effort and discipline (which I definitely need 😅), I hope to take this business much further. I genuinely love doing this. And a huge thank you to PrintShrimp and everyone who takes the time to answer all of our basic (and sometimes pretty dumb ) questions. I really appreciate all the help!

@Katie O Malley The biggest thing that helped me was regularly researching which designs sell the most in different niches and creating my own designs based on those ideas, without copying them of course. You're simply selling what people are already buying. It sounds simple, but it's honestly one of the best pieces of advice I can give, and it made a huge difference for me.

Star Seller status in PoD posters
I've just been granted Star Seller status for August and, it seems, for PoD posters, this _does_ make a difference. 6 different items favourited all by different people and 2 sales within the hour. It's literally the first time I've logged into PrintShrimp to pay for more than one order simultaneously. So, aim for this status folks, it's a nice incentive to keep pushing and motivating yourselves, and it seems to work, touch wood! 👍

Congratulations! I actually just lost my Star Seller badge. 😂 It was because I offered digital downloads on my physical listings, but Mihai told me that simply adding any tracking number to my digital orders works and doesn't affect the shipping statistics. I'm already using that trick now

@Aurora Hemmings @Mihai Volintiriu I just make up a random tracking number. 😂 Etsy counts it as a tracked shipment. Although the package obviously will never be delivered, won't that affect the shipping statistics anyway if Etsy sees that it was never marked as delivered?

I've just had my first sale 🥳🥳🥳
I just heard the 'kerching' noise and saw that I had my first sale on Etsy. Very excited but apprehensive too. Need to work out how to re-size the image (make sure there are enough pixels) and work out how to process it to PS without forgetting anything and not marking as complete before it is 🙄 I just need to get familiar with the process to feel confident with it all (then I'll make myself a checklist 😍). Anyway, I'm off the starting blocks at last! Woo Hoo...

@Jan Ibbott The order is marked as completed on Etsy once you receive the tracking number and add it to the order.

"It takes time"
I have heard that a lot about getting traction and sales. I have 3 shops up and running one with 225 listings, one with 216 and 1 with 316 listing. All are running sales with free postage and a processing profile of 1 day. I have done some SEO verification and have started pinning listings to one Pinterest Business account, so far. I will start on the other 2 shops as well. Is there anything you can think of I can / should do apart from......................................................wait ⏲️ OR Add more listings 😊

How are your three shops doing so far? I'm a little surprised you're asking that, considering you're already running three shops. I'd say that if you're asking those kinds of questions, you're probably not ready to run more than one shop yet. In my opinion, if someone wants to open multiple shops, it should be because they already have a clear strategy and know how to make a shop grow. ...Or maybe your three shops are already some of the most successful on Etsy, and this comment is about to make me look really stupid. 😂
