How to Start an Etsy Shop Selling Digital Products in 2024 💻 ULTIMATE BEGINNER'S STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE

In this 1-hour tutorial, I show you how to start an Etsy shop selling digital products from scratch (FULL TUTORIAL going over market research, choosing niche, template design, creating listing photos + video, cover banner design, Etsy policies, how to upload 1st listing to Etsy). If you've been wanting to sell digital downloads or Canva templates on Etsy, this is the video for you.

[Update July 31, 2023] I closed my LuluCreativeHouse shop because it's required that I disclose my other shops publicly on my profile. I'm not willing to disclose my first Etsy shop, nor risk both of them getting closed, so I closed the Lulu one.

My 2 key takeaways: 1) Just do it lah and stop over analysing and thinking; 2) Need to invest to make returns. Great guide! Newbies like myself really appreciate what you’re doing for your community. Let’s share, learn and become successful together!🙏

Dina! I've been watching your videos since you first started and wow I am so thankful to have someone like you creating such informative and helpful videos! I've already started my first "experimental" Etsy shop on a whim just to "go for it" and learn from my mistakes. I thought I would already know most of the information you would have on this video but I learned so much valuable information as I am currently working on my second shop (completely different niche) so thank you for making this video for people like us (:
