Scaling and Ads
Hi Everyone So I started MythprintsGB on Etsy in February 2026 and have learned a huge amount since then thanks to a mixture of Tom's videos, and good old fashioned trial and error. The shop is doing okay and i have over 300 orders since launching. However, I feel like momentum is slowing down and I'm struggling with how to continue growing. Has anyone else been through this stage where initial success starts to slow down and get that nagging feeling that youre doing something hugely wrong? I want to have a proper plan going forward through and into the New Year that doesnt simply involve staring at financials and conversion rates and simply reacting to them if you get my drift. I am using Etsy Ads and the temptation to increase ad spend to boost sales is large, but most of the "experts" and resources I have seen so far say Etsy Ads are not worth the cost. If anyone has any tips on ads that would also be great! There are things that I know I can improve on the store, like SEO of the listings and the store sections could do with some love, but if anyone has any suggestions I would be very grateful. All I can really think of right now is making more listings as the main task.

Congrats on your success so far, 330 orders in 8 months is pretty good I think! I've not been doing it for as long but here's what sprung to my mind: 1) How come you don't have the star seller badge as your ratings are good and you've been going for well over 3 month?s The badge should help your conversion slightly as you stand out more on the search results and buyers are much more likely to trust you'll deliver as promised. 2) Your featured mockups are ok (well-lit and clear), but I'd recommend incorporating different angles in the additional mockups to make you seem less like a PoD store chucking out designs and more like a professional business. Your descriptions are nice and clear though so that's good. 3) How well researched are your niches? You've clearly had some success so far, so maybe keep up the niches you've had some sales in but from my POV I struggle to see how there would be many people wanting to buy Medieval Prints / War Prints etc.,- BUT maybe I'm wrong! All in all, you clearly know what you're doing and have the fundamentals to be successful, but from first glance at your store the choice of prints isn't what I've seen typically from successful shops. I'm no expert though, this is just constructive criticism if I'm putting myself in the customer's shoes looking at your shop. Hope this helps and interested to see what you think to my points!

@Zakariya Elghannay tbh, with the mockups I have started using PrintShrimp’s bulk listing tool and there is loads on there plus I added some of my own. I just think it’s beneficial to get a few different angles in there so it’s easier for a customer to picture where that poster would fit well in their home, office, etc. I think of it as people have spaces they need filling, and everyone views things from different angles so it’s just good to cover all the bases! A minor change but all the little changes add up. Regarding niches, I wouldn’t say that Etsy punishes stores that have different niches but my assumption is that if you have a store with more similar(ish) products then you’re more likely to get sales. Bc if a customer likes a print of yours and then goes onto your store to see if you have similar ones they might like then there’s just a load of random different designs then they’re way less likely to convert into a sale compared to if there is similar prints in your store - probs explained that badly but hopefully you’re catching my drift
BE CAREFUL
Ive just gone to my emails linked with my etsy shop & got all these legit looking emails, picture of a blue tick making it look legit too. All scams Be careful, also just looked up the actual logo.

@Samantha White the official badge that comes with the email is what will catch people out though - especially newbies getting their first sales and aren't familiar with what comes after a sale. one of the more convincing phishing attempts i've seen recently tbh!
Calendly Phishing Scam 🚨
Do not fall for the Calendly emails messaging you telling you to finalise a sale / anything to do with a sale! Phishers are using calendly invites to send their emails through an official no reply calendly email address so it appears legit, do not even attempt to unsubscribe to the emails (as this is also a phishing link apparently). I think I may have fell for the unsubscribe link since they’ve been spamming me so wanted it to stop but this could potentially also be a phishing link too. I know this has been circulating for a while too and everyone should be aware, especially the newer sellers who get excited when they see any email regarding a sale! Stay vigilant

Hey guys. Just posting this milestone for me as it’s something I would’ve liked to have seen when starting out. Only 2 and a bit months in and seeing great momentum building now, and one month away from Star Seller badge being achieved which should really boost my conversion too. For those starting out, stick with it - if you genuinely trust in your listing quality and choice of niches and you think they should be doing well then the chances are they will do, just give it time! Excited for Q4 to fully kick in, let’s cook 👨‍🍳

Help - Canva Templates
hey guys, new here. How do i get my designs into a A size template within canva without having to pay to resize

is resizing a canva pro feature? it's been a while so i'm not sure. but i just go onto the top left bar of my design and click resize and then type in 'poster' and it sizes it into a2. if you want cheap canva pro you can search for it on etsy there's some people selling a workaround to the subscription by joining a 'school' subscription. i bought one for like £4 and i've got permanent canva pro access.
