Thank you again for your encouragement! This is my second Q4 and I thought I would have much more momentum by now. Last year, I almost listened to a YouTuber who kept saying don’t bothering designing ornaments past October. I decided not to take that advice, added ornaments into November and got a ton of sales. Reminding myself of that today. Thank you for pulling me out of my negative mindset that’s crept up on me again today and encouraging people to keep going! If you ever wonder whether or not your positivity matters, I’m here to tell you that it does! ❤

Got my first sales this week! I made THE design and have sold over 30 of them this week alone 🎉 I’m really motivated! Thank you for all you do ❤

[kristinaanikonovaa]

That’s my first Q4 and October was the best month for me so far :) sold so many Christmas related items already! Can’t wait for the next weeks to go by! It’s so much fun to see first profits on my bank account haha

[ShaneMitch]

I love you Shawna! Thank you for presence on YouTube!

[RailinX]

Omg Tucker looks like the most hardworking good boy out there!

Feeling really overwhelmed about listing. Have to figure out hacks to do mock-ups and list with all the details that comes with each listing. I created a bunch of designs but have not started listing 😬. I know this gets easier with time but right now I can’t wrap my mind around how people list so much or fast.

did you quit teaching because of your new found etsy passion or did you start etsy because you were looking for a way out of teaching? and is the 33k your Q4 of your first year the FIRST time you ever did a shop or did you have experience building an online store already? this is my 3rd video from your channel, about to watch 4 more! keep it up

[cynthiamerryman]

Im excited to watch this video. Ive made 1 sale this whole year. Ugh.

[Yace]

Great video! You very helpful and charismatic! Thank you❤

[LoveKathleen]

"There is space for you" thank you im writing that out and putting it in my work area ❤

[VivienneRussell]

Hey Shawna, you continue to be my absolute favorite YouTube Etsy coach! I have paid for two courses and one monthly paid coach fee and yet YOU are the one who offers so much hope, positivity, and strategy! I can't thank you enough for everything you have taught me and YES I am one who was beginning to lose hope for THIS Q4 (not Etsy, just this Q4) So, I can't wait for your next video to drop! Your superpower is your teaching capabilities! 💗

[cristinacoronel]

Shawna thank you so much! You are the most genuine and encouraging YouTuber that I have come across! I found your videos 15 days ago and had never even considered POD. I started watching all your videos, starting with your 1st upload, taking notes, rewatching, staying up late in the night, researching, designing, bringong back optimisim by recalling your words of encouragement...and I am SOoOo close to publishing my store by this weekend.
I know im a bit late too the game...but I am taking your advise and pushing hard until Black Friday and I am grateful for my experiences along the way! Thank you so much again for taking the time to share your knowledge.❤

[melodeelucido]

I always say it Shawna, YOU ARE THE BEST!!! Love the affirmation! I hope this Q4 blows your socks off!!!

[hannahjoy]

Thank you for telling us not to stop designing holiday designs too early. I was thinking it was time to wind down, but I'm going to keep going! I started designing for Q4 in July, and I'm ready to keep working! I can't wait to see your design video!

[amillionandoneideas]

I always love your videos! So much useful and encouraging information. This is my fist Q4 and October didn’t go as well as I had hoped but I did earn the Star Seller badge which has inspired me to keep listing!

[unagohery-loose]

Hi Shawna, you are such a natural teacher! I'm brand new, and everything is taking L-O-N-G! I spend hours designing and uploading and trying get my SEOs and mock ups looking nice. I know things will get better in time, and with practice. But I just wanted to let you know I'm so happy I found you! Wishing you continued success!!!!

[meganlex]

Thank you for your information. I’m loving it. Can you share what podcasts you listen to? I watch a ton on YouTube videos but would like to also have podcasts playing while I’ll working or driving.

[markbowen]

Interesting comments about having a plan for an influx of orders. Could you explain why this is please? Presumably, it's because you have to pay your print provider before you get paid by Etsy. You mentioned you had a video about this but I couldn't find a link to it. Thanks for all the advice.

[leyla]

Hi Shawna! Does Etsy take fees to be included in those sales events? Is there something we need to click on to get in the sales events?

[KimByers]

Your encouragement really is so very helpful. ❤ Hoping you make that Q4 sales goal! This is my first year. 😊
