Hey everyone, hope you’re all doing good. I know most of us sell mainly on Etsy, but I’m wondering if anyone here actually runs Shopify (or any off-Etsy site) as their main store. If you do, how has it been? Is it actually sustainable long term? A little about me: I’ve sold 600+ posters on Etsy so far, and I’m really grateful for it. But I’m at a point where I want to start building something outside of Etsy. As great as Etsy is, it never feels 100% secure, one random policy change or issue and your whole shop could disappear overnight. I don’t want my entire business depending on one platform forever. So I’d love to hear from anyone who: - Uses Shopify as their main source of sales - Has built something that isn’t fully tied to Etsy - Or teaches/mentors people on how to grow this into a more long-term, stable business Any honest advice, experiences, or direction would mean a lot. Thanks in advance to anyone who replies. 🙏

Hi, I’m new to designing poster and as a beginner which platform is best to start with ?. Canva and photoshop have been mentioned in one of the videos. Thanks

I’ve had 2 messages now with people just sending me the title of my listing. I’m assuming this is people trying to make it look like they’ve bought your item?

Hey everyone, I'm curious about when you all typically see Christmas sales start to pick up and when the peak period hits. In your experience: - When do customers usually start ordering Christmas gifts? - When does it get really busy? - What's the absolute peak period before things start to slow down? I want to make sure I'm properly prepared for the rush and have realistic expectations about when things will ramp up. Would love to hear what patterns you've noticed in previous years. Thanks in advance!

If etsy tells you your titles are decreasing your search ability, do you trust it? They tell me my titles are too repetitive (aka having wall art/poster/print etc in there too many times) and that they should only be around 8-9 words long. What I'm doing is taking keywords that have really good rankings on Everbee (200+ monthly searches and under 15,000 competitors where possible) and using all the characters I can have in the title. Each keyword is separated by a | . An example title: Donkey Brushing Teeth | Bathroom Prints | Animal Bathroom Posters | Animal Posters | Donkey Prints | Funny Animal Bathroom Prints
