Notes from Chris
Episode 1420
Let’s talk about selling printables! What do you need to know? First of all, what are they? Printables are pieces of artwork, drawings, or other digital files that you can download online and print yourself—so there’s no need to ship anything as a seller, and buyers can access the work immediately. This presents a number of pros and cons:- Very easy to get started (pro)
- Very high profit margin (pro)
- Anyone can do it (so a lot of people do) (pro & con)
- You can’t charge much (con)
"Hi, Chris, this is Yvonne from the D.C. metro area. I love listening to your podcasts and being a part of the Side hustle School community. My side hustle is creating printables on Etsy, and right now I'm creating holiday-themed printables. So my question is, I'm not sure what's the best way to market my Etsy shop besides Etsy ads which I don't want to pay for upfront. I'm already pinning to Pinterest and posting on Instagram, but I'm not sure what else I can be doing. I want to know what's the best way to market this shop. And I know that creating a plan before Thanksgiving weekend is key."Listen to today's episode to learn more...
