[LIMITED OFFER✨] Get my Etsy listing photos course 👉 http://tinyurl.com/dinaetsycourse

In this 1-hour tutorial, I show you how to start an Etsy shop selling digital products from scratch (FULL TUTORIAL going over market research, choosing niche, template design, creating listing photos + video, cover banner design, Etsy policies, how to upload 1st listing to Etsy). If you've been wanting to sell digital downloads or Canva templates on Etsy, this is the video for you.

[Update July 31, 2023] I closed my LuluCreativeHouse shop because it's required that I disclose my other shops publicly on my profile. I'm not willing to disclose my first Etsy shop, nor risk both of them getting closed, so I closed the Lulu one.
