Who we sell to

MockWren Studio sells to customers in the United States. Our workbooks calculate US sales tax and work in US dollars, and we are not registered for EU or UK VAT, so we do not currently sell into those markets. Everything we publish for free — the blog, the forum, every guide on the site — is open to read from anywhere.

You want to start on Etsy and you have zero knowledge. This is the playbook: what to do, in what order, with the 2026 numbers already looked up.

What's inside

  • Pre-launch foundations — niche, name, money set-up, policies, and the 2026 rules you can't skip (including Etsy's AI-disclosure requirements).
  • Listings that convert — photos, titles, tags and pricing walked through with worked fee examples.
  • Launch week — the order of operations from first listing to first promotion.
  • The 30-day growth plan — what to do after opening, week by week.
  • Fill-in checklists throughout — print them, tick them, launch.

22 pages in English plus a full Spanish edition. Current fees and rules as of 2026, each stated where you can check it.

Already running a shop? This one's for day zero — the Mockup Shop Starter Guide covers building a mockup business specifically, and the workbooks take over once sales exist.

What changed
  • 2026-08-09Full Spanish edition added. Every formula was recalculated after translation and checked for errors, and the Spanish dashboards return the same numbers as the English ones. Added the new bilingual thank-you note to the download. The previous one was written for Etsy buyers and asked for an Etsy review — something a customer buying here cannot do. v1.1
  • 2026-08-09First release v1.0
