Trade Secrets for Online Selling

I have been selling online since July, 2007. Since then, I've learned how to improve my SEO by using better keywords and to use as much space as I'm allowed for my titles by implementing those keywords effectively. Besides keywords, a seller has to know what buyers want to buy in handmade, digital designs, and vintage finds. It's rough! And after the online platforms get their fees, I make anywhere from $4 to $10 profit per item depending on what I'm selling. 

I have read about people who make $100,000 + annually selling online. I haven't experienced that yet, but I remain hopeful. : ) 

For the most part, my son and I like bringing our designs, finished products, and/or vintage finds to these platforms for reasonable prices, not big profits.  Besides selling our items for reasonable prices, we also offer great customer support. The bottom line is we enjoy making the people who buy from us happy. So, don't hesitate to let us know if you have any questions for Cosmic Digital/SouthernAppalachianVintage or Digital Potpourri/Happy Home Creations.

I hope you'll visit this site frequently as I share not only the items we sell but some of the trade secrets about selling (and buying) on popular sites like Etsy and eBay.

About Digital Potpourri Digital Products

I'm very excited to be selling selling t-shirts, coloring books, and soon many more digital products such as mugs, personal development eBooks for adults and children, and blankets for example. Because I love to design, selling digital products has always been a dream of mine. And thanks to Canva, Payhip, Printify, Blogger, and Etsy, my dreams are coming into fruition. 

I was very excited when I announced coloring books for sale on this site at the beginning of 2025. Now, just a couple of months later, I'm happy to announce my first t-shirts for sale in my Etsy store. Keep an eye out for all the newest print-on-demand products that I'll be offering frequently.

It is important for me to inform you that since each item is made specifically for you upon ordering, I'm not able to offer refunds or exchanges on these digital items. However, I’ll be very happy to work with you on custom designs and provide mock-ups for your approval before you purchase. If you receive a product with any defects, please do send me a message along with a photo of the defect(s), and I’ll have a replacement of the same design, size, and color sent to you.

Feel free to contact me from this site as well if you need additional help.

Thank you for supporting my small business!
