First Sale · Poster Print on Demand

First Sale

Hey everyone, thanks for all the great discussion on here. I'm about 2 weeks in on our journey since we got the store set up. 50 listings live so far and trying to be consistent with adding more. Focus niche is on kitchen / dining and food-based art.

We got our first real (non-test) sale today which is great! I had some questions would love input on:

I've struggled finding a good video mockup. We use photopea for the static ones we bought and happy with those. I bought a video mockup for use on Canva and tried a few free ones and they just look rubbish - like the flat poster is pasted on top of the moving video. So we've skipped video mockups. Is there a way to get good ones without using Photoshop? Photopea doesn't support the files.
How do you find good topics or ideas? So far I just do things I would like, or get inspiration from what shows as being popular on certain terms. It feels like with keyword tools they still rely on me having the idea of what to search for or check. Is there a way to see what popular terms are within a niche I am missing?

Would really love any feedback on the store so far too! https://www.etsy.com/shop/YummyPrintsYorkshire
