how to sell stickers on shopify

so i've watched a ton of videos when i,was starting out about whether or not,i should use etsy or shopify but a lot,of the videos that i watched,they were sponsored by shopify and i,know,as much as they say that it is,completely,unbiased it's completely honest you,can't help but feel,like there's a little bit of being,biased towards,the one that's sponsoring you so in,today's video,i want to guarantee you guys that,because we're such a small,channel that no one knows who we are we,are not sponsored by anyone,so you know that this video is 100,my honest opinion hey guys welcome back,to my channel for those of you guys who,are new here my name is,natalie and i run a stationery shop,called doodles and tea,in today's video i'm gonna share with,you guys my,pros and cons of both etsy,and shopify at this point i have run my,shop,on both etsy and shopify and currently,i actually have my store on both so i,will be sharing with you guys kind of,the pros and cons that i think,come with both platforms so if you guys,are curious,about whether or not you should use etsy,or shopify for your shop,then remember to click the like button,for this video because it will help me,out,a lot and to subscribe to this channel,for more content like this in the future,and with that,let's get started so let's talk about,the pros for etsy first,one of the biggest pros for etsy is that,etsy is such a well-known,site already there's already tons of,people who are going to etsy,to shop because there's so much traffic,already going to etsy,all you have to do is get that traffic,to your shop,getting people to your shop is a,completely different subject that we,will not touch upon,on this video but if you guys want me to,make a video about that,leave it in the comments but the main,takeaway is there's already,a lot of very dedicated shoppers on etsy,and the chance of them running into your,shop is much higher,another thing is that it is absolutely,free,to open your store on etsy although etsy,has a lot of other fees that we'll talk,about later,but for the most part opening your shop,completely free,and there are no monthly fees as well,another bonus is that,etsy is quite user friendly it's quite,easy,to learn how to set up your shop,listings shipping and all of that it's,quite easy,although i do want to say that setting,up,things like shipping is different from,calculating your shipping,and i actually have two videos on my,channel that talk all about,shipping on etsy which i will leave in,the cards and in the description box for,you guys to check out,another thing that's really easy to set,up are sales,and discounts for your shop so in,general etsy,is quite user friendly now one of the,biggest cons,of etsy and one of the reasons that i,left initially,were all of the fees that come with,being on,etsy so you've got transaction fees,you've got,listing fees you have shipping fees so,even though when you look on their,website it doesn't seem,like they're taking that much but over,time when you start generating more,sales,it will add up i like to say,that from your transaction around 10 of,that is actually taken,by etsy from all of its fees one of the,biggest things,to note is the listing fee now it seems,pretty,straightforward every time you post a,listing etsy will charge you 20 cents,usd but what they don't tell you,is that every time someone buys an item,your listing actually renews and through,that,that's another 20 cents i heard someone,say this once and basically,etsy is like a marketplace where,you're going to pay to set up a booth,that's why you have to pay etsy so much,money because they're already driving,the traffic in,but you're just paying for your shops,set up,and with that another thing to note is,that there are already a lot of shops on,etsy unless you have a very,small or very narrow down niche it might,be very difficult to stand out,and another thing i want to point out is,that there's no customization at all,for etsy everyone's shop looks the same,for the most part besides,your banner pick and your profile pic,the layout for everyone's shop looks the,same,now let's move on to shopify now one of,the pros of shopify that i really liked,was the customization you get the,freedom to make your store,look like however you want and it looks,like,a legitimate website shop another thing,with shopify,is that you can download a lot of other,apps to help with,running your store you can also get your,own,custom domain if you already have one if,not you can go purchase one and set it,up with your shop,so you get your own name for your own,shop,another good thing about shopify is that,there are lesser fees there are no,listing fees like etsy so if you are a,shop that sells,a lot of different items this is really,good there are only,two fees that shopify takes which is a,monthly fee that i'll talk about later,and they take a small portion of each,transaction,if people pay using shopify payments,shopify payments is basically their way,i think of hosting all,people who pay with like debit cards and,credit cards it's just to ensure,that they're not frauds i believe,someone said,that they take around three percent of,your transaction,plus 30 cents which compared to etsy,is significantly less now the cons about,shopify,is that you have to drive your own,traffic you are now,a standalone shop and you have to bring,all these people,to find your shop so unless you have a,huge following or a dedicated group of,people who,are your right or die this might be a,bit difficult for someone who's just,starting out,another thing is that shopify has a,monthly fee,cost and there are three levels so,depending,on how much you want to spend and how,many extra functions you want on your,site,the lowest price was i believe 29 usd,per month so again for new shops who,haven't been able to drive,so much traffic to their store this,might be a bit difficult,for you to keep up with in the beginning,now for me personally i left etsy,around may or june this year,after running the store there for five,or six months,and that was because shopify was doing a,discount so i hopped on the shopify,bandwagon and what i learned was that,yes the fees were a lot less but i was,having,issue trying to drive traffic to shopify,it was significantly less than how much,i was getting on etsy so i decided to,go back on etsy and now i run,stores on both it's the exact same shop,it's still doodles and tea but my store,on etsy has the fees a bit higher,just to cover for all of etsy's fees,but i can drive all the traffic from,people who see my listings on,etsy to shopify in every single one of,my listings on etsy it also has a link,to my shopify,store and my instagram and those are the,places where i connect with people,the most so i have everyone directed,there in hopes to drive,the traffic from etsy to my standalone,shop so far it's been doing pretty well,when i run,both the only con really for this is,that you will have to spend,a lot more time trying to manage both,and upload listings to both and that's,about,it for my personal experience with both,etsy and,shopify i hope you guys found this,helpful again,a lot of this really goes down to what,you want,and what your needs are for your shop so,everyone's opinions,is different so i hope the things that i,kind of went through,will help you decide now i know that i,said this video is not sponsored it,really isn't,but i do have a referral link in the,description for you guys if you're,thinking of opening a shop on,etsy anyone can create a referral link,basically what happens is that if you,use my link to open your etsy store,you get 40 free listings and i get 43,40 free listings wow english so,if you guys are thinking about it,consider using that link in the,description,and with that don't forget to like and,subscribe to this channel,for more content like this in the future,i have a lot of videos on,etsy already which is in the description,box for you guys to check out,and with that i hope you guys have a,great day,bye
