If you’ve been holding off on starting because you’re scared to fail—congrats, you’re officially human. 🙃 But here’s the thing: failure isn’t this big dramatic explosion where your Etsy shop bursts into flames and everyone laughs at you. It’s usually just… a slightly ugly design, a listing that flops, or a week where the algorithm ghosts you. Those aren’t disasters. They’re just data. 🚗 Every “failure” is just your creative GPS saying, “Rerouting.” You can’t get to bestselling designs without the cringe ones first. You can’t master AI prompts without a few that look like they were made by a caffeinated raccoon. 🦝 You can’t build confidence if you never try anything. So here’s my simple rules:👉 Fail fast. Learn fast. Adjust faster. Keep your costs low (you don't need 10 AI image subscriptions), your ego lower, and your upload count high. You’ll be shocked how quickly things turn around when you stop treating every flop like the end of your Etsy career.😉 You’ve got this. Go make something messy today and just list it. P.S.

You’ll get daily trending product ideas, the exact prompts to create them, and the SEO to make them sell. The price goes UP next week, so lock in today!

If you’ve ever thought “Etsy’s too saturated,” let me stop you right there—with caffeine. I have way too much coffee in my house—grocery store coffee, fancy subscription coffee, cold brew, spiked coffee (please don’t judge 😅)… yet every week, I still buy more. And guess what? New coffee brands pop up daily. Because even in a “saturated” market, there’s always room for something different. Same goes for Etsy. Whether you sell clipart, tumbler wraps, or digital planners—people aren’t searching for more of the same old designs. They’re looking for something that feels like it was made just for them. 💡Here’s the thing → buyers get bored fast. That’s your opportunity. Find trends early 🔍, mix niches (“funny cat mom coffee wrap”), and infuse your personality with current design aesthetics into every design you create. That’s how you stand out—even in a market that looks “crowded.” So next time you start spiraling about saturation… remember: Starbucks still sells coffee. And, successfully, so do THOUSANDS of other coffee shops. ☕✨ 🤔Which one?!? Prompt: A cozy ghost surrounded by embroidered coffee cups, beans, and steam swirls, turned into a hyper-realistic faux yarn embroidered design on a pure white background. The ghost is crafted from fine white thread with soft dimensional texture and black stitched eyes. Surrounding it are mocha brown embroidered cups, beige steam curls, and tiny stitched sparkles in gold. The entire design appears hand-stitched with thread direction and realistic shadows. Centered composition, warm neutral tones, white background. Get more FREE prompts like these here: https://bailey.digitally-purposed.com/newsletter

I used mainly Canva and Mystic POD for creating graphic tees designs. They are usually transparent background png file. Does this apply for sublimation design as well?

Hello creators, Quick question for the room, if you could only keep one app, tool, or resource for your content or business, what would it be? I’m always on the lookout for new tips and hacks to make running my business smoother!

I was told by three different vets—and $8,000+ worth of tests—that nothing could be done for Dolce. (many of you have seen her on the YT channel and live calls in the background on the pink couch :)👇 “She has cancer,” they said. “Too old for surgery.” “Just make her comfortable.” But here’s the thing… 🐕Dolce didn’t act like a dog who was dying. 🚚She still barks at the Amazon guy (and the cats) like it is her full-time job. 💃She still dances around at dinner like a lunatic. 💗She loves life. And deep down, I knew the story wasn’t over. So I tried one more vet. One outside of town. And they told me: “It’s not cancer like we've seen. It’s not even a tumor we’ve seen before. We can remove it.” She’s now recovering and expected to be just fine. She’s ten years old. A rescue. And a little miracle. ✔️The moral? Everyone will have an opinion on what’s “possible” for you. That includes: 🛑 Etsy “experts” (AND others who think they know) who say the market is too saturated 🛑 Family who thinks selling digital designs and products online is a phase 🛑 Your own fear telling you, “you’re too late” But none of them know what you know. ✨ That your creative spark isn’t gone—it’s just been buried under overwhelm ✨ That your design might not be a bestseller yet… but it could be tomorrow or your next one will be ✨ That you don’t need Photoshop or an art degree—you just need the right mindset + strategy You get to rewrite your story at any time. Even if everyone else says it’s over. Especially then. 👉 Trust your gut. Keep going.
