Hi everyone!

I’m new here and have been watching the videos and exploring the site. First, let me just say…this is an awesome community!

Around this time last year, I purchased a pretty expensive course that was supposed to teach me how to set up and grow an Etsy shop. While it definitely helped, I can honestly say I’ve learned more here in the last week than I did from that course.

I actually opened an Etsy shop last summer, but by December I let all of my listings expire because, honestly, I had no idea what I was doing.

Now I’m ready to revive my shop, and I have a few questions. If anyone can help answer some of these, I’d be so grateful!

My plan is to create products featuring popular Greek sayings, old adages, and expressions, especially the kinds of things my mom used to say to me when I was growing up. I’m still doing research, but I wanted to ask:

● Can my shop sell T-shirts, ornaments, mugs, and other products as long as they’re all centered around the same theme or similar Greek sayings?

● Can I also include English versions of those same Greek sayings in the same shop? For example, if I have a Greek T-shirt design, could I also sell the English version without it confusing my brand?

I have a lot of ideas, but I’d really prefer not to split everything into multiple Etsy shops if I don’t have to.

I’d love to hear your thoughts or any advice from those of you who have experience with this. Thanks so much!
