What is up, guys? If you want to have your Etsy candle store into Etsy, I think it's an amazing way to get started
0:09
So let's just jump in dig into it. There's actually two things that I lived to consider before I want to have a store into Etsy
0:18
And the very first and most important part is to figure out what kind of competitions are having to Etsy
0:25
So if you go into candles of Etsy, I'm going to look out for people who are selling candles
0:34
So as you can see, this one are the wax candles, luxury bubble-sensured candles
0:40
So speaking about the candles, we do have 700,000 results we'd add
0:48
So there's a lot of competition. But speaking about the actual candles, I mean my people who are selling just candles by selling them
0:55
but they have their own store. So if you want to have your own store only available for candles
1:02
I think that they want to do the second idea. My second idea is to look out for shop, of course, inside Etsy
1:12
that they're also selling candles. I want to look for something that's going to be like a recommendations
1:17
or like you want to see that as a competition or like some related stores
1:24
So I'm going to go into this way. of the wax candle I'm gonna go into the wax wax uh wax aromandel like that and
1:33
off we show how it's gonna be calling but here as you can see this is the actual
1:37
name of the shop inside Etsy so they're selling a lot of wax they're selling a lot of
1:43
fresno they're selling a lot of candles and I can do something related into that if you
1:50
don't want to sell something related into that or you want to we're not breaking copy paste
1:55
which is making some inspiration. We're taking some inspiration to have our own products here inside Etsy
2:01
So once you find that, once you want to do is to, of course, go into, I love to go into Canba
2:09
Now, Canba is an amazing place to start working in here and look out for some templates
2:15
You can create your own templates You can create some designs You can do almost anything in here into Canba So here into Canba I created my account I went into the very home section of Canba And here it says what were you designed today I wanted to of course first of all have my Etsy store
2:32
And to have your Etsy store, you want to go into Etsy.com. And here into sign up, you have your account
2:37
And once you have your account, you want to sign up and become a seller. You want to sign up to become a seller
2:43
So once you have that, because the process is just really, really, really. simple now you have your shop manager you can go into the sale channel and you
2:53
can go in here and in here you can see that this is my actual channel so what I
2:58
want to do is to now customize this so I can have like an amazing candle store
3:03
of Etsy so first of all here as you can see this is a banner so if I go into
3:08
Kamba and I look out for some keywords for example Etsy banner is going to
3:16
appearing lets and let's have templates. So if I'm just focusing into candles, I think that I can
3:21
choose this option or I think that I can choose something more interesting. I think if
3:27
is going to stick around with this one because this one actually grabbed my attention, so I can
3:32
go into customize the template. And here I can customize this template. Of course, if you
3:37
choose this design studio, I'm going to change that for my brand like this. I'm going to go to
3:45
W, this side. I'll get only into store like this and handmade
3:50
accessories. We need to look out for a candle store or online store
3:57
Anyway, it says shop now. I kind of like to make some exclusive logos
4:05
I don't know my icons because I think it's going to be helping us allotted to have more
4:09
best ability and professionalism into Etsy. So if I go into elements, I look out for it
4:15
the ex- Etsy graphic like this and I'm gonna move this in here like I'm gonna make
4:25
this actually in here like this and on the lift part you can go into text I'm gonna add
4:31
this out this out heading and here you can go Etsy exclusive so this is gonna be helping me alert to bring some dots and points into into Etsy actually so here as you can see this is a document color i can hit into the elements and i want to lift this just a little bit
4:50
and i'm going to move this like this or i can even have some cambla color you can assume this if you
4:56
want to do that if you wanted to this is not required this is this is totally optional but this
5:02
is like making my store a little bit more um just like a brand if you want to do this is not required this is
5:08
exclusive for Etsy if you want to sell of course only into Etsy and lastly I just want to change the actual
5:14
like this and leave it like that so once again get into share I'm going to go into download out I have a great PNG file this is the size I want to download out this
5:24
I'm going to leave like like that and here I want to go back into my store
5:30
change my background change the layout or you can go into the cancel delete this one at the MMS
5:38
which is this one and boom this house going to be looking as you can see we have the
5:43
let's say that this is just like a sign like a brand verification of Etsy exclusive
5:51
this is something that i just created on my own but once again this is something that can be
5:55
helping me to make my store look a little bit more professional so now what i want to do is to
6:02
change here my logo so if i go back into camba i can do exactly the same process go back
6:08
into the very first part of the canvas section and I want to look for a candle logo
6:15
There we go, we do have a little template of a logo. So even the first option is a lot
6:22
is looking so much so greater. So here I'm going to customize this template. So here the
6:27
candle house magical. So we go into the candle house of SW or stars or the candle house
6:38
the calendar house ink dot there you go leave it like that if you want to customize this uh actually
6:44
you're going to leave like that uh i want to go into the elements to look out for half moon or
6:50
quarter moon and i'm going to go into graphics and here we do have a lot of options for example
6:55
i think that i kind of like this one and what i want to do is to try to make this a bit more big enough like this and i going to just adapt this into my actual design like this And you can go into transparency
7:10
you can make this a bit more transparent, go send this into the back like this
7:15
But this is like too much, like just an example of what you can do. I'm gonna just click into share
7:20
click into download, once again download, go back into my actual store
7:25
hit into the change your shop icon, and here you go and here
7:29
want to choose the icon, which is actually this one. Now, once you have successfully done that, what you can do, I'm going to just close this
7:37
Oopsie, Daisy. It's just to start importing your actual products. To look out for a lot of ideas, even if I typed, I'm going to go into the search bar
7:46
I'm going to design, candle, candles, aesthetic, or candle store. Even if I type this one, it's going to be pured a lot of tools
7:56
So you can be inside the actual Pinterest. You can import here your products
8:03
And once you import your product, you can even add a link of your store that are producing here
8:09
So go into, for example, you're going to go into the this section
8:13
You're going to go into the Xmark. I create an idea pen like this
8:19
And I import my product. I import the title like this. Let's say, for example, this one
8:25
And I add the text, I add image, the background, and here I can import my actual website
8:32
which I think is like an amazing place to stop promoting your store
8:36
