I started 3 weeks ago. I have listed 50 designs, no sale yet. But videos like these will keep artists and entrepreneurs like us moving forward. Thank you.

Just landed our first sale in our 3 month old shop! Ive learnt so much and am motivated to keep going!

I am gaining in this Etsy shop!
I was feeling discouraged last week, but then I got the idea to look at a shop in my niche that I admire using Everbee. I sorted their shop from oldest listings to newest, and looked for when they started getting sales. Lo and behold, it was 12-15 months in! Their shop is booming now, but it took them 12 months to gain traction. 😊
Great advice!
Btw, I opened my shop in Feb and today I got a group order of 13 shirts! So shocked and excited!
My husband and I have a 3-year plan for him to be able to work from home and use my shop/s to supplement the shift.
Thanks Heather!

Thank you for sharing this. I needed this for not only my new Etsy shop but for life in general. I'm starting The Gap and the Gain tonight. You're wonderful, I appreciate you.

[honeywesley]

I am gaining in my Etsy shop!! Which didn't even exist a couple of short months ago. And you're spot on point with this video, because EVERYTHING starts with mindset! New subscriber here...I love your videos and the positive energy you emanate, even through a computer screen. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge and experience!

[Robin_In_CA]

Thank you for your encouragement and transparency.

Im gaining, slowly. Just got my 2nd sale yesterday after i opened my shop in January. Really hard to keep patience at this level and occasionally your videos like this do help me trod along

[ellenfoley]

I am gaining in my Etsy shop. You are such a wealth of information. You should be so proud of what you are doing. You are excellent at teaching, please continue to keep up the good work. You have accomplished so much at such a young age. Thank you very much!

This video was perfect for me to watch today. Had 13 sales last weekend and haven't sold anything since. lol I've experienced some emotional highs and lows the last few months. I have to remind myself that my shop is only 4 months old. I know success isn't going to happen overnight. Every shirt I finish and post is another accomplishment. No plans on letting up or giving up. They may have to pry my skeletal hands off of the mouse and keyboard - I'm in this for the long haul. I just want to say "Thank You" Heather, for your "realistic" and super helpful videos. I take them all to heart. You're awesome!!

[beadingheartsbyangie]

I love the advice and your voice on videos.I go to computer classes getting help to open Etsy shop.I love making my beaded jewelry.Although apprehensive I will try to stay focussed and enjoy the learning journey.

[melnakabayashi]

I am totally feeling this way! I know I need to do more research. I have 60 listings and no sales .

[manasvi]

I am gaining in my etsy shop. I was honestly contemplating just giving up, so I was looking for a sign to decide the next steps. I will take this video as a sign to continue with my etsy journey. Thank you so much!

[apollofifafaces]

Already in that mindset. Thanks for the video. Love u Heather❤ I am leaving this comment over here because right now I am at 0 sales and I will return and post the update when my store succeeds. That's for sure!!! Keep on working, keep on grinding!

[laurajlambert]

Thank you! I have been on Etsy for less than a month with only two sales. And comparing myself to the high sellers. This is exactly the perspective I needed...I have learned so much in the last two months and needed this push to look at things from the gain side rather than the gap.

[sallylong]

I am gaining in my etsy shop -- or hope to be as soon as I get it open! Thanks for the insight, Heather!

[neelsnprayer]

I'm focusing on my gains! Thanks for this positive message, I just found you on YouTube.

[Vectormom]

I am gaining in my etsy shop. Thank you for the encouragement, it makes sense. I needed this.

[Ragandthread]

I literally wanted to close my shop this morning and then l came across your video. Thank you for your kind words. I needed this so much today. ❤ x

[kristyaguirrre]

I’ve been watching a lot of your videos and trying to take the plunge and start a shop! I could get long winded but we’re about empty nesters and have this feeling in my gut that there has to be more than my 9-5 desk job! I’m not a designer, artist, or even talented in one thing! 😢😅 HOWEVER I love crafting and trying new things! I see people list 1000s of items so that also feels intimidating! I need to read this book! ❤
