All of these are books that I have read and found valuable for one reason or another as far as my business goes. I don't follow any business "gurus" or motivational speaker types, but these are all books that I've enjoyed reading and thought they were good for business takeaways.

This channel is for home-based creative businesses and anyone who sells products online and specifically on Etsy. I do Etsy tutorials and share Etsy tips to help small business owners get their businesses to where they want them to be. If you have questions about Etsy SEO, how the Etsy search algorithm works, selling on Etsy, or how to start an Etsy business and sell successfully on Etsy, post a comment or a question in the community tab!

Have you registered your domain name yet? Leave a comment below if you had trouble or had to get an alternate address because yours was taken!

Kara, I've never commented on YouTube videos before but I started planning for my new handmade jewelry business and Etsy shop a few months ago and your content has been invaluable!! I simultaneously bought my domain while watching this video because you convinced me not to risk losing it (in the 10 minutes it would have taken to just finish watching haha). Thank you so much for your tips and guides!!

Thank you so much! Your video was so easily explained. My husband is a computer engineer but he made it so complicated for me to understand showing me from a different platform he uses for his domains. Lol
This was so helpful!

Thank you Kara, this was really helpful! I have a blog and wanted to redirect folks to my Etsy shop without having to create another website. .

[Peacelovejoy]

Thankyou so much for showing me this. I had no idea how to get my domain integrated. Thankyou! :)

[jammystreats]

Extremely helpful. Thank you very much

[davidsullivan]

Thank you sooo much for these tips! I just added mine, it says error when I type my domain so I am going to wait till morning. Did you have to add anything to the records section under the DNS management? I'm wondering what yours looks like compared to mine or if I need to change anything.

Is there a way to set up a landing page for email registration and then have the option to go to the Etsy shop? I have always wanted to know how to set up a landing page. Thanks for this info, Kara.

🤪I have no idea where to start I don't have a godaddy. All I wanna do is redirect the shopify account to etsy is that possible

Hi Kara. Wondering if you have knowledge of how to capture Google Analytics data on domains that forward to Etsy? I'm tracking my Etsy stats as a separate Google Analytics property, but I want to get stats specifically on my domain as well, before people are forwarded along to Etsy. From what I've found, I can't do this. I purchased my domain from Hover, and they don't have a place I can enter the Global Site Tag tracking code from Google Analytics (which is what I would paste in if I had an actual website). Do you know of a way to do this? Or do you know of a domain host that I could switch to that allows for tracking stats on a forwarding domain? Thanks!

Hi Kara: My shop name on Etsy has been taken. I've been thinking about changing my shop name anyway and the name I would choose is similar to what I have now and it does show as available on Go Daddy. Can you please tell me if I lose my reviews and sales if I change the name? From what I've read so far, it seems like nothing changes except the name. I don't have any other site that I sell on so it is just Etsy. Thanks!

Do you also need to trademark the name? What if someone decides to trademark it but you have the domain name?

[jurakybartas]

do you have to change your plan on etsy

[allisonholloway]

Also does that mean I have to change the name of my Etsy shop? I’ve already designed my logo and added it to my shop

[amandaroinila]

Does anybody know how to transfer a domain from Shopify to Pattern by Etsy? I cannot figure it out!

[dstonge]

Is it necessary to obtain a domain name for my shop name as well?

[americanochampionshipbelts]

Hello! This is it? Will it also help me getting my shop indexed?

[allisonholloway]

Kara another important question for you. Do I need to register my domain with all the search engines? They are asking for money.

[allisonholloway]

What happens with your Etsy shop name if the domain is taken? Does it affect anything?
