So I have my first sales and this may have been generated on a couple of things which I can share. Note i am sharing not to brag but just to share my experience. I started with three stores but cut it back to 2. The third is running but I give no focus. One store is always open in edge for etsy and printshrimp and the other store is in chrome. If you was new email accounts that are easily tied to your store try proton https://proton.me/mail so as an example if your etsy store is called "potatoes" then you can create and email
[email protected] its free for what you need. To validate my seo's I did some random tests, using printshrimp to do bulk uploads and create the etsy seo's etc is a god sent, but I ran a couple through Claude to validate. I also use claude to create midjourney prompts and generate the quotes. I batch those by 10 into printshrimp and add 1 of the 10 to the business pinterest account. It is important to note that your AI agent (if you use one..............and you should where it can save time) may say as an example "to get sales say you ship with in 1 business day. Most people would be ok if it wasn't shipped in 1 day but some may not. I say this because printshrimp clearly states their production times. But generally your comments are right it take ALOT of time to set things up. I have 660 posters and about 350 in my shops. I add one batch of 10 and 1 pinterest when I have a spare 10 minutes. When I asked Claude what I was missing / doing wrong. I came up with an Occam's Razor answer. You need feedback and that how you build trust and hopefully build momentum. But there lies your catch 22 how do you generate those sales to get the feedback to build momentum................................................... one last nugget, when you set up your template in Printshrimp framed and unframed prices It defaults to GDP, or so you might think. But is (as in my case) I am selling in AUD I populate the price fields in AUD.
