I own a very large etsy store but since etsy is known to suspend stores out of a whim, I want to slowly transition to shopify. Any pitfalls i should look out for, any other advice?
>>62556631What do you sell? I was considering selling fruit tree cuttings on Etsy because my garden is becoming pretty diverse
>>62556631Why not just sell the buisness and throw the money into VOO? Let some other sap deal with that while you make money passively.
>>62556631you need to drive traffic but etsy will help with that link in your bio to the site etc
>>62556631Damn biz really does ignore threads about businesses
>>62556631This is good timing, I'm actually just starting a shop on Shopify (I have a website but it will link to Shopify). Shopify gave me a week free (which I wasted by doing nothing) and now it let me renew for 3 months for just $1 each month, so if you want to slowly transition or just try it out, shouldn't be too expensive I've been using Claude to help me set up a website/shop, Claude recommended Printful or Printify to help create "print-on-demand" products. I think that's what I'll do to start since I don't have much of an audience yet and just want to get my feet wet
>>62556631It takes a while before google search trusts your site so you may take a while to get organic search traffic. You may need to run a few ads early or get traffic from other sources
after fucking around with Printify for ~5 minutes, it seems pretty easy to use and solid for making "print-on-demand" products. Anyone have any experience with this sort of thing?
community engagement in your niche subreddits, x, facebook groups etc
