This has been encouraging to me. It’s pretty much what I’m doing. My shop has been open for less than 2 weeks so far. My plan is to add one product every day for 100 days without worrying about sales. It’s a mug shop with some uniquely odd, funny, wry graphics and text all created by me (no AI). I’ve sold 5 mugs so far. Feeling pretty good about that! Especially after watching your video.

Starting is Def the hardest. I've had the idea of selling my art in the back of my head cooking for years. I'm finally taking the chance.

I have never commented on a YouTube video, but I need to tell you how much your videos are helping me overcome my fears and work my way out of the valley of despair. You are awesome and deserve every bit of success you've earned. Thank you for making these videos. You are really helping people

The difference between successful people and unsuccessful are the successful people kept going.

I started and the biggest part is getting overwhelmed with my ideas or the ideas I see watching YouTube videos. Normally I have to take a break and then come back. I have been trying to optimize to where I can generate a lot of listings, and then once things take off I will be able to see what is actually selling. Awesome videos btw

Alek, I love your presentation style, so level headed, and common sense based. I am a very competitive semi-retired man, not really needing a steady income, but I enjoy working on my Etsy shop very very much, almost like a hobby, and the more I watch educational content like yours, the more I want to "compete" if you will. I have only had my shop up since Feb 1st, 2024, but have made 6 sales and am trying to focus on ONE PRODUCT mainly to become an expert. I look forward to following you in the future. Keep up the great work!!!

Thank you, Alek, for the encouragement to keep on pluggin'. I don't know of anyone else on YouTube who is as clear, helpful and sincere as you are. All the best to you in 2024.

Soso helpful!! I started a print on demand candle shop less than a week ago on Etsy and I've gotten 3 sales so far. If the listing is optimized well enough, etsy is great at sending customer over

Thank you for the encouragement ❤ my business hit a speedbump, & i was doubting all my decisions. I know i need to be patient and allow time for it to grow but i was beginning to wonder if the sacrifice was worth it. Now i am encouraged to keep going, i love learning so i will keep learning & trying 😍

I needed to hear this, thank you for all your hard work in 2023. Here's to more success in 2024!

You're definitely a good mentor. I have been so good at almost jobs I held and I always get bored and underpaid. This pod business satisfies my desire for challenge and your videos definitely pushes me to not lose interest and do something easy

[EroNekoSan]

Man, I found out your channel few days ago. I absolutely love how your explanations are detailled, proof based and how you keep it simple, words and attitude. It's very comfortable and interesting to watch, and of course f**king motivating. Congratulation on your work and thank you

[AIWizardTech]

Hello Alek! Thank You so much for your candid business advice! It's just a real motivation. Thank You so much for reminding me to do one thing at a time, one niche per store. Thank You and good luck to You!

[shaun]

Every time I'm feeling despondent I watch one of your videos. It refocuses me and motivates me to keep going.

[marisnovelteedesigns]

Thanks, Alek. I needed this. In my opinion, this is the best of all your videos that I've watched. You explain and encourage so well. I appreciate that. I consider you my own personal cheerleader.

[gynuchu]

Thank you so much for extending your lessons learned to all us plowing through! I always watch your videos multiple times and each time I absorb something I missed the time before. Thank you for keeping it real!! I wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas followed by a safe and prosperous New Year 2024!!

[kdfjokgnlsdg]

Lately I’ve been interested in starting a business and this was really an inspiration! Thank you!

[cooperlane]

Thanks for the insightful YTs! Just started my POD... thanks to you! Have a great Christmas!

[HyperUpscale]

You are becoming a good mentor, Alek.
Few months ago I thought you are a joker, but your perseverance, progress and results speak for themselves.
Very impressive!
I hope you continue to grow and inspire us for many years ahead!

Thank you so, so much for this vid! I feel like you’re talking to me, e.g. the analysis paralysis, info overload etc., not knowing where to start. I signed up to Etsy today, after setting up my business bank account etc. Now I just need to keep the faith & push on to success! Wish me luck!
