Hey guys, How’s everyone getting on with their journey? If you’ve made some progress recently, share it below. It could be finishing your first design, getting your shop open, publishing a listing or making a sale. Small wins count too! And if you haven’t started yet, or something’s holding you up, let us know. Is it creating designs, learning Etsy, using PrintShrimp, just finding the time, or something else? Share a win, ask a question, or tell us what you’re working on. I’d love to hear how you’re getting on and see where we can help.

Hiya So I setup my shop a few months ago and uploaded about 10 images then decided to pause, learn Midjourney, prompting, learn about graphic design, build up a stock of art and save money to use the bulk listing tool. I now have about 50 photos and growing fast. How many listings should I be putting up daily? I know I need at least 500 listings to start generating any traction and sales but I also remember something about triggering Etsy anti-spam protocols and getting your shop disabled if you upload too much especially as a new shop. This is my store by the way https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/RiftscapeStudio I know I need to add in a sentence in the description about AI being involved in the creation process so I'll be doing that but if there's any other tips I should know, maybe thumbnail adjustments or anything, feel free to advise me so I can implement it moving forward with all my upcoming uploads. 😃

Hello guys! Hope you are well and enjoying your poster selling journey. We have two big announcements today! First of all, we are now (finally) charging UK VAT. We should have done this a long time ago and have been absorbing the cost on our end - due to the nature of our business it took a long time to set up and we’ve actually been making a loss on UK orders xD VAT will be charged going forward on all UK print and framed print orders. However, subscription prices for our bulk listing software will STAY THE SAME! Whilst VAT will be charged, we will continue charging the same and essentially absorb the VAT. This does mean UK prices will increase by 20%. But don't panic, the expected profits we always refer to actually already includes 20% VAT being charged. So with our recommended pricing, you will still profit £24 for a 24x36" print and £60 for a 24x36" framed print! So don't panic about the increase, this still leaves you with plenty of room for profit, and we are still much more competitive than the competition, as they of course also have to charge VAT on top of the website prices they display :) HOWEVER, GOOD NEWS! To help soften the blow we are happy to announce a pretty major change, which is a discount on multi orders! Going forward, all print orders of 3+ prints will receive a 20% discount! This is for an order of 3 or more prints to the same customer. This can lead to a lot of extra profit in your guys pocket for bigger orders, and should make a really healthy difference to your take home figures. This is across ALL countries, not just the UK! These changes are both live now! As we say in the video, THANK YOU all for using PrintShrimp!! You guys are awesome. We love seeing you guys have more and more success each and every day. Not only have we been able to grow a business, we have been able to build a real community here. It blows our mind every day that we get to work on this each day! So thank you again. Keep killing it everyone!

Is there a template pack to use to show my posters inside homes? It seems a lot of the Etsy shops use the same sort of style or templates. Is there a reason for this? Are the templates available from Printshrimp? Are the shops buying templates from the Etsy platform or can I just use the same AI generators like Midjourney or Nano Banana to make my own?

Hi all. I've not had a sale yet but recently started using Kittl AI to generate my designs which is so much quicker than making a design from the elements available in Canva (and limiting what I could produce). So my question is this: when you get a different size order that is not an A size, how do you resize your designs? Do you get AI to copy again in the correct size measurements (I'm worried it will not copy it exactly) or do you load to canva and resize this way, but as there are no elements to move around, will it stretch or cut off some of the image! I'm probably overthinking this but wanted to find out how everyone else handles this resizing. Thanks in advance for any advice!
