It is absolutely doable :) I started in April and now easily make £1000-1500 in profit most months, sometimes more or a little less. It did take a good 3/4 months for my sales to really pick up though, and I think I had around 150 listings when things started to pick up around July time. You do get out of it what you put in. Make sure you do your research and make sure your SEO is on point. It is a bit of a numbers game so naturally the more listings you have, the more chances of having a design that gets seen. You won’t make a sale on every single poster you put out unfortunately but that’s just how it goes. I have nearly 600 listings now and still growing. It’s not impossible to make steady and decent income from having much less listings, if you happen to have a design that becomes popular. But for most people, the more listings the better. I do think a lot of people give up before seeing real results which is understandable. It can be a lot of work, but imo worth it and I’m so glad I started :)

a lot 😅 I had to quit my job last summer due to health reasons and used that time to crack out as many designs as I could to keep myself busy/something to focus on. It was like a part time job in itself. I’ve recently invested in the bulk mockup plug in which tbh I wish I bought sooner as I would have a lot more listings than I do now, I was doing it all manually which is so mind numbing 🤣 it’s a lot quicker now to get listings up. I’ve been earning that much since August. Last month was obviously a huge exception due to the Christmas rush and my profit was much higher. This month I’m on track for £1500 :)

@Ali W I also remembered hearing this! I just did a quick google and printshrimp did release a blog post saying they do offer large discounts for multiple orders. I would be interested to know why/when this stopped 😅

@Mihai Volintiriu yeah sure. Scroll down to “1. Getting your shop looking pretty”, it’s the last paragraph. Maybe I misinterpreted it? I could’ve sworn Tom said it in a video too but maybe I’m imagining it. https://www.printshrimp.com/how-to-sell-posters-on-etsy

Yes it’s a scam. Prepare for a lot of those 😅 If you get an order you will receive an email and an order will show in the orders tab on your Etsy account

Happy new year guys 🫶🏻

It’s hard to compare. These are my stats from the same period but bearing in mind I started in April. It will totally depend on how many listings you have, how long your shop has been active for and also the general standing of your shop/your niche. I generally aim for around 3% conversation per month but some months will be more and some will be less. How many listings do you have? Do you run ads?

@Nathan Zurcher while you’re still building up sales I don’t see any harm in using ads for all listings :) once you figure out a handful of your best sellers then I would change to running ads just for those that sell well. But it really is up to you, I just found that’s what works best for me :) I only run ads at $5 a day also
