Just wanted to share that I have just made my first sale to a stranger, and it's a great feeling! It's taken me about 3 weeks to set up the store but this is everything, from figuring out the niche to social media and long-term plans. Excited for the future!

Just wanted to share a little milestone and hopefully encourage anyone who’s just getting started. My Etsy shop has now reached: ✅ 220 sales ⭐ 4.9★ from 38 reviews 🛍️ 1,476 listings 📅 5 months old The first couple of months were definitely a learning curve while I found my feet and figured out what worked. It hasn’t all been plain sailing either. I’ve had refunds, difficult customers, and one review that took my shop from a perfect 5★ to 4.9★ because the buyer hadn’t realised the artwork was AI-generated. It was disappointing at the time, but it’s all part of running a business and you learn from every experience. A massive shout-out has to go to Tom at Print Shrimp as well. He’s been a huge help throughout this journey and has always given honest advice. When I was looking at subscriptions, he could quite easily have encouraged me to move onto the 1,000 listings per month plan, but instead he told me the 500 listings per month option would be more than enough for where my shop was at. That kind of honesty is rare these days. His advice on the bulk listing method has also saved me loads of time and made managing a large number of listings so much easier. It’s genuinely made a big difference to growing my shop. Overall though, staying consistent, improving my products, listening to feedback, and consistently adding new listings has really started to pay off. There’s still a long way to go, but I’m really happy with the progress so far. I’d love to hear how everyone else is getting on! - How old is your shop? - How many sales are you on? - What’s been your biggest win or lesson so far? Thanks again to Tom and everyone in this community. I’ve learned so much from reading everyone’s posts and advice, and it’s been a massive help on my journey. Looking forward to hearing how everyone else is getting on! 🙌

Nothing for a week.... no panic, just seems strange as visits and views are steadily increasing as I post more listings (up to 370 now!) Anyone else experiencing this?

Hey guys, Thought it might be useful to have a big old list of our FAQs. Please take a read through this and familiarise yourself with how we operate! How do I place my orders? Placing your orders is very simple with PrintShrimp. Unlike other platforms, we allow to create your products on your marketplace of choice, and then come to PrintShrimp for fulfillment. You can manually place orders, by filling in your customers address and uploading your print file. We also offer Etsy integration, allowing you to fulfill your orders with the click of a button. Head to the integration tab, connect your Etsy shop, and then click 'Import Orders' in your create order tab. We let you have the final say before fulfilling your order, so your shop is in your hands. When and how are my orders sent? Due to our extensive network of printers, it depends on the country of fulfilment. In the UK, we typically use Royal Mail 48. We use USPS Standard shipping in the USA, and AusPost Standard shipping in Australia. We print our orders on working days, but feel free to place your orders like normal on the weekends and they will be picked up and processed first thing on Monday. Our processing times vary from same day in the UK, to 2-3 days in other parts of the world. Please view of all of our processing and delivery times here. When can I expect to receive tracking numbers? You can normally expect your UK tracking numbers to become available at the end of the working day. In countries such as the US and also the EU, tracking is automatically added as soon as your order is shipped. You can see expected processing times, and therefore when you can expect your tracking, on our price table here. Please be aware that our locations open and operate in accordance with their respective time zones, and working days. The earlier in a day your order is placed, the faster we can get that order into production. Orders placed later in the day may not enter production until the next working day, due to when courier collections take place.

Hi, starting out here. Can I just say that the new videos are amazing, and so so helpful! Thanks @Tom Beeston and @Max Murray !
