That’s me now at 4 sales and 2 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ reviews in my first couple of months doing this 🙌 Honestly buzzing with how it’s going so far — really appreciate everyone who’s supported, ordered, or even just liked and shared 💙 Still early days, but this is just the beginning 🚀

Quick little success story + a couple shoutouts 🙌 I opened my Etsy shop two months ago, still unsure of what exactly I wanted to sell, and uploaded my first listing half a month later after seeing one of Tom’s TikTok videos, and it pushed me to actually give it a go instead of just thinking about it and leaving my shop empty. Fast forward a bit and we’ve now had around 134 sales since opening, which might be small to some people but it’s a great start for me and proof that the process works. Wanted to give a quick shoutout to the PrintShrimp team. Their prices have stayed really competitive while still keeping the quality high, and the customer service has been great. One of my customers had an issue with an order after the delivery banged up the poster a little bit, and they got back to me the next day, ready to replace it, no questions asked, which makes a huge difference when you’re running a store. And of course, the biggest shoutout is to Tom for the TikTok content that got me started in the first place. Keep pumping the content bro, there are many people like me that just needed an inspiration on what to sell and how to get started, and your videos provided that. Still early days, but excited to keep creating 🚀

Just been checking out Etsy Ads (thanks to @Tom Beeston video in the classroom) and was wondering what people's thoughts are on starting Etsy Ads as soon as the 15 day waiting period is over? Should I turn them on at day 15, or wait for some organic visits after this time, maybe a couple of sales first then use some of that profit to turn on the ads??

Love the community, great info and ready to get started. I work full time online so I can easily upload on a daily basis. How long does it take to gain organic traction on a new store? What have people seen ?

Hey everyone 👋 Quick question — does anyone here have a good workflow for creating bulk mockups in Adobe Photoshop? I’m currently using PSD mockups with smart objects, but doing them one-by-one is taking way too long. I’m looking for a way to speed things up. I’m working with travel posters, so it’s the same setup each time, just different designs going in. Not looking for someone to do it for me — just trying to learn a more efficient workflow if anyone’s got one 👍 Any tips would be massively appreciated!
