Hi everyone, I've been a member of this community for some time, and have done lots of research and played with different tools and making products, but there was one small problem: I never had the guts to actually open the shop. Well, I got the news yesterday that I'm being laid off at the end of the month, so I think that's a sign to actually do this... Wish me luck :)

How long do you all spend on market/trend research before you crawl out of the rabbit hole and just make something? I keep looking and trying to understand what I'm seeing on eRank and comparing it to Google Trends, Pinterest searches, Etsy's search auto-fill, etc.. I feel like I'm just sitting here cross-referencing things hoping to come up with something phenomenal and really just not getting anywhere, lol. Also, when I'm looking on Pinterest, the Etsy listings I end up clicking on don't actually have many sales or traffic. I'm not clicking on anything sponsored, so maybe I'm just not understanding how this all works lol. I think part of it is that trying to pair trends with originality can be difficult. The ideas I *do* have are just not being searched for. But I swear if I see another pink bow... 🤣

If you receive an unsolicited DM, immediately block them and let me know! I do not communicate via DMs, so feel free to turn them off to avoid all DMs from potential scammers.

Hi there and welcome to the new community!! A few things, please watch the video to see where everything is and how to use the group and take note of the following! ⬇️⬇️ Please make sure you do not share your Etsy shop, the shop link or other website info. This is for your own safety as while we'd all like to think everyone would not harm other's chances, this is simply not the case unfortunately. It can cause conversion rates to drop with lots of visits and people can also be very closely 'inspired' from your listings. Make sure any images of creations you share do NOT have your logo, name, company/logo watermark. (if you want to watermark what you post, that's fine with a generic one, just don't do it with your shop/site info) Please no affiliate links. Please no posting to external tutorials (this is only to not cause mass amounts of conflicting info as there are a hundred ways to do things :) ⭐👍💓✔️ If you somehow found this group and don't know who I am/what I do, I'm Bailey, the owner of the one of the largest digital shops on Etsy, owner of a digital design subscription site, YouTuber and digital product coach and owner of Bailey's Design Club for Etsy and Bailey's GROWTH Club here on Skool where I help others build digital product businesses with AI :) To compare all communities and ways to access: https://digitally-purposed.com/the-shop Feel free to introduce yourself and what you hope to gain from the group! :)
