For the record, I don't know why my arms look that hairy towards the end 💀

My three favorite channels: Alek, Stock Brotha, & How Money Works. Make my week complete! 🔥 🔥 🔥

I would really love to see a video about your workflow process! I know you have separate video about designing, making mockups, uploading to printify, etc, but it would be great to see it all put together. How do you ensure your designs are the right size when using the printify uploader? Do you upload everything to printify, then go in and add the mockups? Do you do all the SEO for products before publishing to etsy? Seeing how a design gets from creation to a finished listing on etsy would be super helpful!

Pardon my seeming being rude question, but when you say my first ($1, 000, 000), you are talking about revenue, right? So like maybe 10, 000 to 15, 000 USD net income?

Super video, Alek! Thank you for sharing. Wishing you continued success!

[enderzee]

Thanks for sharing. There is so much inspiration in this video. Can't wait to finally launch my own shop sometime next week.

[DomsDocs]

Name the shops that earned you 1 million

[johnyoung]

You mention many shops? Do you have links to your shops? Also, what about all the legal costs, tax costs, advert costs, etc.

there’s a smaller youtuber saying listing in bulk will give you a dead store and “kills conversion rate” and to upload 1/day for 100 days so now im wondering am i doing the wrong thing uploading in bulk i have 55 listings i did all at once and was planning on getting up to 150-200 in the next week or so.

Thank alek for all video .yiu are the best youtubeur i have ever seen .

[dustinkoop]

Thanks for sharing your backstory. Great video!. Are you no selling on Shopify / Dropshipping items no=w that you have more experience?

[joeblob]

It’s great, but posting designs is not enough, it’s only a few more drops in an ocean of tees, no matter how beautiful they are, the most difficult thing is how to find buyers! With The AI, everyone can create tees, but what do we have to do to sell, then? Do you have tips about how to make money-magnet ads, how to handle social media?

[GumiiZ]

Thanks Alek. I’ve reached 110 products no sales so far in 2 months but i’ll keep going to 1000 baby!!

[vqvblxy]

Thank you for your inspirational videos! Do you drive traffic or is it all organic? I get 1-4 sales a week, I don’t understand how in the world sellers actually make the kind of sales numbers that lead to 6 figure profits!

[nervenito]

you are right brother, i have information from more than a year on everything for my shop of etsy, and i havent started, its a battle againts myself! im sorry, but this is true, we will never make it if we dont start!

[blackpeppery]

Just a video idea but maybe you could ask viewers for their etsy shops and provide some critique for our shop that arent performing well

[hunterandchavy]

Is this revenue or profit? Either way this is a phenomenal feat! Congratulations Alek. Consistency and being resourceful is part of the success path for most. I feel that like every business startup… it takes time but with ecommerce we can earn some passive income

[emmanueldescartes]

Hello Alex, is it good to promote all the products on etsy ads? Or just the ones having the most views after a couple of days?

[Couchlover]

What I notice with all the POD/Shopify type videos is how unless you’re using Etsy, you’re gonna have to pay for advertising. I wish alek would make a video on how to do this when not using Etsy.

Hi, it's almost midnight now and I just wached your video. It's really wonderful. ❤
May I ask that you sell all your kinds of products on 1 shop or you sell 1 kind on 1 shop?
Thanks for your answer!
