Run Autopilot: from trends to finished listings

0:00Autopilot researches what's trending, designs original products, and writes Etsy-ready listings for you. Here's how to run it.

0:09Choose how many listings to make, and which products. Listings are spread evenly across the products you pick.

0:16Pick the Printify store they go to: the one that's linked to your Etsy shop.

0:21Add a focus if you like, such as dog lovers or cozy autumn. Then choose where ideas come from: the seasonal calendar, news and search trends, social buzz, and your own best sellers.

0:34Every idea is original. Autopilot never copies other sellers, and never scrapes Etsy.

0:41Set your markup on the Printify cost, and the minimum profit you want from each sale, after Etsy's fees.

0:48By default, finished listings are saved as drafts for you to review. Or publish automatically: only listings that pass every check go live, and only once you've confirmed Printify is set as your production partner on Etsy.

1:03We'll keep drafts. On the right you'll see exactly what will be made and the estimated credits. Then click Start autopilot.

1:12Research takes a minute or two. Then each listing is designed, checked and created in turn, and this page updates as it goes. Here's a finished run.

1:23Each listing shows its design, title and prices, and the checks it passed: a trademark and policy screen, print file quality, spelling, Etsy's listing rules, and your profit per sale.

1:36Anything flagged waits for you. Open the design or the product to check it, then publish drafts one at a time, or every ready draft at once.

1:46Back on the Autopilot page, the latest trend research shows upcoming events and the opportunities it found, with its sources. Another run today with the same settings reuses it, so you don't pay for research twice.

2:01Up next: tracking your orders.
