Julie and her business partner Cody from Gold City Ventures discuss what's been going on with some POD sellers and the future of mockups.
They also cover the current Etsy listing image requirements and other best practices and how they think the POD manufacturers will respond.
For those outside of the POD space, they also talk about interesting opportunities for handmade sellers to expand their revenue sources (including a cool story with the woman who runs Happy Rugs).
And of course, what all this means for digital product sellers too.
Cody shares his beginnings in the digital product space and the strategy that made him successful.

Julie and Cody of Gold City Ventures are continuing on with the podcast.
I am happy since I know so many of you were disappointed that all of the old episodes would disappear.
That issue is solved - and we have a better plan.
The ​team at Gold City Ventures​ will be producing new episodes for you going forward.
We recorded one final episode for you today as my truly final goodbye.
I'll be stepping away from the business and letting Cody & Julie run the podcast from here on out.
The episode today is a little different - Julie and I chatted casually about some of the hot topics in the Etsy space right now.
We cover shop suspensions, optimizing for google, listing image changes, video and more.
We also cover trends we’ve seen from the unique position of seeing thousands of shops created on Etsy through our courses
..including what niches seem to be doing well right now and seller qualities that seem to lead to success.

My plan was to shut down the business and move on.
But after I sent the last goodbye email, my friend Julie from Gold City Ventures reached out to me.
She proposed an interesting opportunity.
It allows me to keep the podcast and all prior episodes live for you
..and for Julie and her business partner, Cody, to take over the responsibilities that I need to offload.
I'm excited to announce that their business, Gold City Ventures, will continue on with my podcast, Crickets to Cha-Chings.
Today we released one of two final episodes with me as the host and then Gold City Ventures will take over from here on out.
I've known Julie for years and I am so excited to see what new energy and insight she brings to the podcast.
Cody and Julie have individual Etsy shops with thousands of sales as well as an Etsy coaching business, ​Gold City Ventures.​
They both have experience as podcast hosts with their respective personal finance podcasts too.
Check out my announcement and learn more about Julie's personal story in this podcast episode today.

It’s great to be back and talk about all things Etsy and e-commerce with you (and thanks for so many DMs about last week's episode!)
This week is all about what we would do differently if we could go back in time and start our Etsy businesses all over again -- and there's a laundry list of things that I would do differently.
When I first started on Etsy back in 2012, the internet was a vastly different landscape. I was completely lost and trying to figure everything out all on my own. I didn't have a clear vision of building an e-commerce brand or anything like that, I was simply trying to keep up with the daily grind. If I knew then what I know now, I would have definitely taken a step back and taken a more strategic, long-term approach.
Speaking of which, I’m excited to share some insights with you on how to think beyond the immediate and plan for the future in regards to your e-commerce brand.
It’s essential to consider what matters to you and your vision for your business beyond the day-to-day tasks. Don't feel pressured to follow someone else's version of success or strive for massive financial gains. It’s all about making intentional decisions that align with your goals and values.
In this episode, we've got some fantastic tips and advice to help you grow your small e-commerce business into something amazing, by taking a thoughtful and long-term approach. By the end of this episode, my hope is that it inspires you to look beyond putting out the everyday fires in your business, and instead take an approach that sets you up for succcess a month from now, a year from now, and 10 years from now. 
So, grab your cup of coffee or tea, sit back and get ready to become an e-commerce entrepreneur extraordinaire!
