*WEBSITES & TOOLS MENTIONED*

Should I continue selling patterns for 6 months and make an update?

[lunaenter]

This is the 1st I saw people reveal the truth, usually they tend to sugarcoated it with unbelievable amount. Thank you so much for the tips by the way.

[emmanuel]

It's so refreshing to see a content creator who's realistic with the results. Big respect to you Jensen.

as an artist, actual graphic designer, this is sad - but I appreciate that he is honest

[LauraJadePrado]

Now imagine the artists selling hand drawn original patterns designed from scratch with their own artwork. It's triple the amount of time invested upfront, and almost always a similar outcome. The extreme underpricing on Etsy has been wildly unsustainable lately and is a real shame. Thanks for the honest insight here. Too many people think this is a get-rich-quick process and it's far from it.

[chickenlurkinyungchihuahua]

This is the most honest content I've ever seen. I'd rather we learn from real failures than many pretentious click baiting videos here on YouTube, because the reality is that many of us failed over and over again.

[aAarohiTiwari]

Can we appreciate how he doesn't make everything look all-good but instead shows us the truth!!
Also, would love to see your selling mugs challenge

[BirdwoodSivier]

Love the video❤️ I just started my print-on-demand journey and found Crafted Threads. They have a ton of designs and it saved me so much time. They have something in every niche. And lifetime updates too!!

[ElfsArtStore]

Every emotion he showed during the entire process is accurate. You feel ecstatic when making and putting up listings but when you dont hit views and sales you start questioning everything. Then when you check revenue after deducting expenses and see a loss you question everything even more but the idea is to never give up. Good things take time ❤ Loved the honest video. Thousand times better than the other videos with unrealistic thumbnails. Sales pick up after atleast spending good 4 to 5 months with continuous efforts and modifications everyday sometimes even longer, saying with experience. Looking forward to more videos.

This video is very sad for us artists that draws everything my hand and has the hard job to be creative and took years on etsy to get reconzied. After AI showed up my sales on etsy went down so much! It makes me so discouraged to continue =(

[noelcervantes]

Bro huge respect for revealing the truth about these. Whether it's t-shirt art or patterns, the problem is if it's too easy, most likely a lot of people will do it, leading to a saturated market. Thanks for testing this out and showing your actual and detailed expenses and net income!

[joseph-the-seventh]

This guy is a sobering breath of fresh air, helping us all realize how misleading and dishonest other YouTubers like “Alek” are. Those clickbait “get rich quick” videos are causing us all a lot of problems and giving false hope, I’m glad Jensen has stepped in to show us the reality of this landscape. Keep up the good work! And shame on people like @Alek

[melmanhattan]

This is one of the first of these types of videos that I have seen that is actually honest on the work that goes into this!

[latashasmith]

Thank you for this video. I just watched the other guy pushing this on his channel. Your honesty earned you a suscriber

[beefyasian]

Thanks heaps Jensen for your transparency, honesty, and sincerity in making this video to help us all. Keep doing what you're doing. Am promoting and sharing your channel to my network. 🗣

[NoroDope]

I find it so funny how some Youtubers say it's so easy to make money selling printables on Etsy.
But you are one of the few Youtubers that shows how hard it actually is.
You earned a subscriber.

[mailelement]

Yay!! Your honesty and transparency is refreshing. I never did understand why customers would be buying AI patterns in the first place. I suspect the high competition comes from people trying to mimic the success touted by an early-to-market Youtuber but the new market entrants are all too late to the party and customers have realized they don't need the product.

[sharnaegreen]

Because you did not do click bait and really gave honest experience, I am subscribing. Thanks!!!

[celiamenes]

I love your honest real world challenges of all the most popular side hustles. I’d love to see you sell ai mugs too!

[faseetahir]

Appreciate you putting the hardwork into showing how difficult it is to sell stuff on Etsy. Im contemplating everyday whether to start my page or not. Keep up with the good work. Will definitely check out your future videos
