About Cassiy:
Hi my name is Cassiy Johnson. I have been selling Print On Demand products on Etsy for 4.5 years, have been able to quit my full time job and have taught thousands of other students how to start and scale successful Print On Demand stores as well! I have recently also created my new Mockup Automation tool, Simply Listed to help Etsy sellers automate mockups and listing videos so that they can get more items listed in their store in less time, so they can spend time on the tasks that actually make them money instead!
EPISODE SUMMARY:
In this exciting episode of "How to Sell Your Stuff on Etsy," I'm thrilled to welcome back the incredibly talented Cassie Johnson, a leading expert in the Print on Demand space. If you're looking to launch, grow, or scale your Etsy shop, this episode is packed with invaluable insights and practical advice that you won't want to miss!
We kick off the episode with a lively discussion about the recent merger between Printify and Printful, which has created new opportunities for Etsy sellers, particularly in the realm of embroidery. Cassie shares her firsthand experience from attending the Printify Amplified event in Latvia, where she got to connect with other creators and learn about the latest trends in the industry.
As we dive deeper, we tackle a variety of questions submitted by my coaching group, covering everything from the potential of selling print-on-demand mugs to the best strategies for setting up your Etsy shop. Cassie emphasizes the importance of focusing on proven best-selling products rather than getting distracted by new releases that may not have established demand.
One of the highlights of our conversation is Cassie's expert advice on mock-up creation. She introduces her innovative tool, Simply Listed, designed to streamline the mock-up process and save sellers valuable time. We discuss the common pitfalls of overthinking color options and the importance of keeping your listings simple and effective.
Throughout the episode, we also touch on the significance of understanding customer behavior on Etsy, particularly regarding favorites versus actual sales. Cassie encourages listeners to focus on creating high-quality designs and to be patient as they navigate the ups and downs of selling on Etsy.
Whether you're a seasoned seller or just starting out, this episode is filled with actionable tips and encouragement to help you succeed in the competitive world of Etsy. Join us as we explore the exciting possibilities of Print on Demand and equip you with the tools you need to thrive in your Etsy journey!
