I know how tempting it is to throw in the towel when things feel hard. When I first started on Etsy, I had designs that completely flopped. I’d spend hours creating a design, post it, and… crickets. No sales. Not even a favorite. But I kept going. I tested new niches, new keywords, and new style aesthetics and focused on finding trending design styles off of Etsy. Slowly, my shop gained traction. The rest is history (385,000 sales) because I refused to quit when it felt like nothing was working. Here’s the truth: the difference between the shops that succeed and the ones that fade out isn’t “luck” or “talent.” I have no design skills or graphic design experience. It’s staying in the game long enough to learn what works. If you feel stuck right now, remind yourself: ✅ That next design could be your bestseller. ✅ That next shop tweak could unlock consistent daily sales. ✅ That next month could be the breakthrough you’ve been waiting for. Your future self will thank you for not quitting today.

Im working on listing my very first custom name tumbler and I’m wondering if I can just use any font from Canva or Adobe, or if I need to purchase a typeface for it?

Hey guys, I’m having such a hard time selecting the right category for my product. For example, when listing a clip art PNG file, I select the clip art category, but then it makes me select a craft that it’s used for (only 4 options) it says stuff like collage making and kids crafts. Should I be picking a different category? Also, when I select Digital , it says it will put in 7 other categories , sometimes including men’s clothing and others home decor ?! I’m so confused Any insight would be helpful!

This FRIDAY, a new YT video (5 Trending Halloween Products to Make & Sell NOW) will be out about all the trends we are ALREADY seeing for Fall/Halloween. Below are the prompts that are going to be shown in the video! I will update this post with the video so you can see the actual products/proof for these Prompts and how to make on Friday! :) Ravens: #1: A moody fantasy art piece featuring two black ravens perched on a gnarled tree branch against a dramatic full moon background. The ravens are detailed with glossy black feathers and sharp beaks, positioned in a side-by-side arrangement on the branch. Pink cherry blossoms branch out from the left side of the frame, creating a soft contrast against the dark scene. The moon is a large, luminous golden orb partially obscured by wispy clouds, creating a mystical atmosphere. The background has a dark, atmospheric quality with subtle grays and blacks. The lighting creates a warm glow from the moon, illuminating the birds' feathers and the cherry blossoms. The composition has a gothic romantic aesthetic with rich blacks and deep shadows dominating the scene. The branch they sit on is textured and weathered, with rough bark details visible. The cherry blossoms are in full bloom, with delicate petals in various shades of pink scattered throughout the upper portion of the image. #2: A moody fantasy art piece featuring two black ravens perched on a gnarled tree branch against a dramatic full moon background.

Hey everyone, I just started an etsy shop selling digital products. I'm a SAHM so I'm hoping to create a revenue stream for myself this way. So far the hardest part for me has been creating AI prompts. Is it just me or does Kittl always spell everything wrong?!
