Hey Guys, Something has been bugging me recently..... I see lots of the new guys writing posts about how they create their listings and it usually involves something to do with paid subscriptions to services like Canva or Midjourney. This is something I did when I first started, I had a subscription to Adobe Firefly for image creation but when it started to play up, not creating the images I was asking for with quite detailed prompts I started to search for the best free alternatives. So, I just thought I would share what I use now. The only subscription I have is for the Bulk Listing Tool on Printshrimp as this saves so much time when actually going from Image to Listing on Etsy. I have just upgraded to the Pro plan from Premium as I can see the benefit in using it, especially with some significant celebration seasons inbound. Anyways, I digress 😆 Here is the tools, with links, to the sites I use to create all my listings, feel free to check them all out and see if they can do the job better than the subscriptions you are currently using..... For Prompts - Qwen AI - https://chat.qwen.ai/ I occasionally use ChatGPT, Claude and Microsoft Copilot but my main one is Qwen For Image Creation - https://www.meta.ai/ I recently said on a post that this was unlimited; it is not, but you will get up to 100 images before running into the limits. Qwen can also do images but I don't find them as good (it also does short videos too) For Resizing - https://www.imgonline.com.ua/eng/resize-image.php I have lost count of the number of times I have linked this in a post. You can do everything you need to with your generated images - size (7000 x 9900 for A1), stretch/narrow/crop, input DPI (300), export as a 100% quality JPEG. If you use Qwen to write your prompts, Meta AI to create the image and IMGOnline to resize it, you should never need to pay for a subscription to get your images for your listings created 👍

Is anyone experiencing delays with their UK shipments?

Just timed myself from scratch the listing of one poster: Think of an idea and ask Gemini to create the image, drop into Photopea to resample/upscale, export and drop into Canva poster template, remove Gemini watermark in Canva, export, upload to printshrimp lister, let printshrimp work magic, list to Etsy, log in, change US and ROW prices, publish. Actually listed two but one hasn’t got the year title at the top. 17 minutes! Very happy.

If you ever find yourself bored doomscrolling on your phone, then stop and try the bulk listing tool! It’s pretty good and sticks your posters in Etsy drafts ready to publish next time you’re at your laptop.

Happy Friyay everyone! Hope you all had a fantastic week and here is to hopefully a great weekend of sales on Etsy. It has been just over 1 week since we first launched our bulk listing software. It has been amazing to get feedback and to see how much everyone is loving it! The key to success on Etsy really is listing as many posters as possible (as long as they are good posters!!). I like to use my 3 shops as an example, there is literally a direct correlation: PrintsSeekingWalls: 900 listings, 1.2k sales ThisArtPlace: 1,700 listings, 1.9k sales OnePlanetPrints: 3,300 listings, 3.5k sales I don't think that is a coincidence! The bulk listing software allows you to save the most time consuming part of selling on Etsy, and instead spend time on actually creating posters. Also, it skips the most boring part. I can't believe my evenings used to literally be 5 hours each night in front of the TV uploading manually 🤪 In the first week our bulk listing tool has lead to: -10,500 Etsy listings generated -60,000 Mockups rendered Assuming each listing with mock ups and everything used to take 7 minutes to create and upload to Etsy, that is: 1,225 hours saved in uploading time, aka 50 days already! If you haven't tried out the bulk lister tool yet, please do! We give all of you 5 free credits so you can have a go and get a feel for how it works. It took a lot of work to build this and is probably our proudest creation so far 😆 If you have any time this weekend, see how many posters you can create, and then have a play with the lister to see how quickly you can now upload to Etsy 😛
