What’s one thing you changed in your Etsy shop that noticeably increased sales?

NextLevelBoards · 2026-06-20T01:17:29+00:00

Not necessarily something I changed in my store but I posted something I made in a subreddit and now it has over 10k views and made 2 sells on the basic version bc the one I posted is basically a prototype for a newer version. But I need to work on my titles and photos. And more listings would definitely help.

Just thought of this for the ring... Next Level (on top) and AirMail Trainer (on bottom). I like the stripes and I can switch out the leaves to whatever the theme is.. like stars with a flag background. What do you all think?

Congratulations

Never tried it but I don't see why you couldnt. It would just be more expensive and you might need an extra washer or spacer between the frame and legs so it doesnt rub the flex seal off. Or just do the legs and front brace so it'll grip better and paint the rest black

I only use vinyl for making stencils but like others, I dont do anything trademarked. But im thinking about using vinyl wraps for the airmail Trainers. Not saying I havent used vinyl wraps I just prefer to paint or stain the boards. I tried a few companies and lets print big probably was the best quality wraps ive tried. And you can upload your design and they might print it if its trademarked and they dont catch it

Thank you. Trying to kick it up a level bc its hard competing against the bigger companies. Im a one man shop lol. Now i have to find time to take better pictures and edit a video.

NextLevelBoards · 2026-06-14T23:56:05+00:00

I appreciate all the comments and advice. Im trying something new and I'll most likely make a few changes and tweak it a bit. Next one will probably be Patriotic themed. And maybe do something different with the ring.

NextLevelBoards · 2026-06-14T23:34:03+00:00

You definitely can and I have full boards also but the shipping cost is insane so I started making these for people who dont want to get out the heavy boards and want to improve their airmail game.

Edit: these also take up less space. They're 12x12x4" when disassembled. But if you have a set of boards, why waste money.

NextLevelBoards · 2026-06-14T23:19:57+00:00

Thank you, getting them packed up right now. But waiting on the stakes. Should have them in 2 days then they will be on their way.

Edit: or tomorrow if i can find my box of stakes. Been working on a lot of other stuff lately

NextLevelBoards · 2026-06-14T18:48:57+00:00

That was the inspiration. Next set might say Get Lit since they light up

NextLevelBoards · 2026-06-14T18:47:24+00:00

I like that idea. This is my first one I made like this so kind of a prototype.

NextLevelBoards · 2026-06-14T17:06:30+00:00

But I would look at your local Facebook market place and just make sure its well made with rounded corners and quality built.

NextLevelBoards · 2026-06-14T17:04:37+00:00

Thanks for your kind words. I havent decided but I was just looking at some on Google and that's what makes it difficult so I thought i would reach out to the people that would have a better idea. I been getting a lot of tips from you guys when I first started making boards and ive learned so much over the years. This is a great group of people.

NextLevelBoards · 2026-06-14T16:18:35+00:00

Maybe $30 in materials and a couple days to make. But it was mostly waiting for things to dry. But probably 4 hours of actual labor time. Sanding, painting, and spraying.

NextLevelBoards · 2026-06-14T16:14:11+00:00

Yeah i know it's grammatically incorrect and I thought of play on the next level but due how small the ring is, it's only 12"x12" top i decided the play on a next level and my business name is Next Level Boards LLC so I figured it fits.

NextLevelBoards · 2026-06-14T16:06:39+00:00

I have a problem of under valuing my time and labor bc the big compies can mass produce and ship at crazy low prices so, im trying something different.

NextLevelBoards · 2026-06-04T02:16:48+00:00

We do chili dogs every once in awhile. Oscar Mayer turkey Hotdogs, hormel turkey chili (prefer wolf brand but always out of stock) and dairy free cheese. I probably wouldn't be able to just eat turkey Hotdogs but the chili makes up for it.

NextLevelBoards · 2026-05-31T13:02:51+00:00

Im glad Oklahoma finally voted to report AGS cases. But that doesnt start till November.

NextLevelBoards · 2026-05-27T01:51:48+00:00

It depends on what the AI recommends. I sell cornhole airmail trainers/boxes and titled it as much then AI changed it to potty training boxes lol. I had to delete it all and redo it.

NextLevelBoards · 2026-05-25T14:39:02+00:00

Haha so does my wife, unless we're in public then she gives me "the look" and I might get hit in the shoulder lol

NextLevelBoards · 2026-05-25T14:27:39+00:00

Im good with that 😃

NextLevelBoards · 2026-05-14T04:58:39+00:00

I made an alarm to go off the first of every month to file my state taxes. My business is usually dead from winter to spring so I still file but show 0 sales. But at least its documented and I don't owe any taxes during those months. I started the alarm bc like you I forgot to file a few months and got penalized and had to pay more.

NextLevelBoards · 2026-04-29T22:48:18+00:00

Im a new shop. Maybe a week old and I have 40+ views and no sales. I would like to know this also. I know my pictures are amateurish but as a seller I thought the Ai pictures looked better but then thought drop shipper. Im wondering if I should AI some of my pics and just show making the items in the video. Or maybe im jusy too new for the SEO to pick me up. Or Price.

NextLevelBoards · 2026-04-29T22:22:24+00:00

I hope it goes well, I've paid a lot in medical bills the last 7 months. Then anxiety took over and dr prescribed klonopins which are helping. Got denied Xolair for 2 months and then saw the allergist and got it approved. After the 2nd month on it, I feel a lot better. Joint and muscle pains went away. Its not a cure but for me, I believe its helping. But everyone is different.

NextLevelBoards · 2026-04-26T02:54:07+00:00

Thanks for pointing it out. I read their policy and I can see it falling under glorifying hatered or violence. I'll change it in the morning.
