Learn how to use Claude as a better AI business partner for Etsy, SEO, product research, niche validation, and business strategy without wasting time on weak AI outputs. In this video, I break down the exact Claude workflow I've been using to get better answers, avoid generic AI advice, pick the right model, start cleaner chats, use roles and context, and turn Claude into a skeptical strategy partner instead of a "yes machine." 🚀

I'll show you:
✅ Why most people get weak or overly agreeable AI answers
✅ How to choose the right Claude model for simple vs. complex tasks
✅ Why long chats can create diminished results
✅ The clarifying-question prompt that improves output quality
✅ The "sparring partner" prompt that stress-tests your ideas
✅ How my Claude Council Skill uses 5 sub-agents to score and critique Etsy business ideas
✅ A real Etsy print-on-demand motivational shirt example and why Claude pushed back on it
🔍 Proof Inside This Video
📈 I've been using Claude this way for the last couple of months and said it helped increase my revenue by about 40–50%.
🤖 The Claude Council Skill uses 5 independent sub-agents plus a judge to score business ideas, find risks, and recommend adjustments.
🎯 I tested the idea: "I'm an Etsy seller. I want to open an Etsy print on demand business for motivational shirts."
⚠️ The basic Claude response gave a simple 6-step strategy, but the Council Skill flagged the idea as problematic and recommended niching down into micro-niches.
🧠 I share the exact clarifying prompt: "Ask me clarifying questions until you're 95% confident you can complete this task successfully."
🥊 I share the exact sparring partner prompt that tells Claude to attack weak claims, unsupported assumptions, logical gaps, edge cases, and anything that would fail under scrutiny.

📊 Proof & Key Takeaways From This Etsy Update
🔒 Etsy purchase protection still covers up to $250, even on higher-value orders, but sellers are responsible for the difference above that amount.
📦 I've personally used Etsy purchase protection twice, including one order around $225, and it worked both times.
🌎 Starting July 9, sellers outside the U.S. shipping to U.S. buyers need to account for duties and import fees upfront and ship with delivery duty paid to stay aligned with Etsy's updated rules.
🎥 Etsy now allows two videos per listing, giving sellers another opportunity to show product use, details, production, or packaging.
📱 Etsy added seller app improvements including barcode scanning for shipping labels, full or partial refunds, detailed order views, buyer notes, gifting details, and messaging tools.
💰 Etsy Ads strategies are available when your budget is $25 or higher per day, including efficient spending, low click cost, and greater visibility.

Learn how to drive more external traffic to your Etsy listings using AI, bottom-of-the-funnel blog content, and buyer-intent SEO strategies that most Etsy sellers are not using yet. In this video, I break down how AI search is changing Etsy traffic, how shoppers are moving from broad searches to highly specific long-tail searches, and how to use ChatGPT, Claude, Codex, Chrome extensions, prompts, and AI skills to create blog articles that send high-intent buyers back to your Etsy shop. 🚀

You'll learn:
✅ Why Etsy traffic is changing because of AI search and Google AI Overviews
✅ How to target bottom-of-the-funnel Etsy keywords with blog content
✅ How to reverse engineer buyer searches from your Etsy listings
✅ How to create Etsy blog articles that naturally link back to your products
✅ How to use newsjacking and trending topics to drive more traffic
✅ How to turn prompts into reusable AI skills for Etsy SEO workflows
🔍 Proof Inside This Video
🦖 I use a dinosaur cake topper listing as the live example to show how broad searches like "cake topper" become high-intent searches like "dinosaur cake toppers for boy's 5th birthday."
📌 The AI prompt reverse engineers 8 to 12 long-tail, high-intent buyer searches from an Etsy listing URL.
📝 The workflow creates 3 genuinely useful blog articles from one Etsy listing and naturally weaves in 1 to 2 internal links back to the product.
🔗 I show examples of AI-generated article angles including "Dinosaur cake topper for a boy's birthday," "Where to buy a dinosaur birthday cake topper," and "Velociraptor cake topper guide."
📰 I demonstrate a second prompt that creates newsjacking blog articles using trending topics, including examples tied to junior paleontologist party trends, a newly named four-winged dinosaur, and the biggest dinosaur ever found.
👥 I share that my Etsy community has over 600 members and includes AI automations, prompts, skills, and Etsy growth resources.

⭐ Etsy now gives sellers up to 20 photo spots, but the example listing shown was only using 2 photos, leaving major conversion opportunities unused.
🎥 Etsy has rolled out 2 video slots for many sellers, creating a new opportunity to use one video for product detail and another for trust-building content like packaging, process, scale, or product use.
🤖 I demonstrate using 3 Etsy review screenshots inside ChatGPT with a custom prompt to create a professional social proof listing image.
💬 The AI testimonial image example was created for a gym shirt, targeting people who work out, with a modern style, quality as the buying hesitation, and trust as the emotional goal.
🛍️ I show that Etsy reviews can also be downloaded from your shop by going to Settings, Options, and Download Data, giving sellers another way to create testimonial assets from review data.

In this video, I'm breaking down the new Etsy Ads changes and what they actually mean for Etsy sellers. If you're running Etsy ads, thinking about increasing your Etsy ad budget, or wondering whether Etsy ads are worth it, this video will help you understand how to use the new ad strategy options without wasting money.
Etsy now gives sellers with a $25+ daily ad budget more control with options like Greater Visibility, Lower Click Cost, and Efficient Spending. But should you raise your budget just to access these settings? Not necessarily. I'll explain what each Etsy ads strategy means, when to use each one, and why jumping into ads too soon can hurt your shop instead of helping it.
In this video, you'll learn how to: 🔍 Understand the newest Etsy Ads changes 💰 Choose the best Etsy ad strategy for your shop 📉 Avoid wasting money on low-performing Etsy ads 🎯 Use targeted keywords to improve your ad performance 📊 Track return on ad spend and turn off listings that are not converting 🚀 Build a smarter Etsy marketing strategy without relying only on paid ads
If you want to learn how to run Etsy ads the smart way, how to improve Etsy ad performance, how to increase Etsy sales, and how to avoid common Etsy advertising mistakes, this video is for you.
I'll also share practical Etsy seller tips for choosing the right ad budget, understanding broad vs. niche targeting, and knowing when your shop may or may not be ready for paid traffic.

Learn what the new AI image law means for Etsy sellers, especially if you use AI-generated mockups, AI models, AI product photos, or AI lifestyle images in your Etsy listings or social media marketing.
In this video, I explain the new New York AI image disclosure law, who it applies to, and what Etsy sellers should do right now to protect their shops. If you sell in the U.S., use AI-generated people in product images, create mockups with AI models, or market your Etsy products on platforms like Pinterest, Instagram, Facebook, or Etsy itself, this update matters.
I'll walk through:
🚨 What the new AI image law says
🛍️ How it may impact Etsy sellers
📸 When AI image disclosure is needed
👕 What to do if you use AI models in mockups
✅ How to add an "AI model used" badge to your product photos
🎨 How Etsy already handles AI-created artwork
⚠️ Why product accuracy still matters with AI mockups
📌 What sellers should update before enforcement becomes a bigger issue
The biggest takeaway: if you use AI-generated people in your Etsy listing photos or marketing images, it's smart to clearly disclose it directly on the image. A small, simple badge like "AI model used" can help make the disclosure visible without ruining the look of your product photo.
AI tools can be incredibly helpful for Etsy sellers, but as laws and marketplace rules continue to evolve, it's important to stay ahead of the changes so your listings stay compliant and your shop stays protected.

Etsy is rolling out a major review rating update on March 25, and this change could impact how your shop rating is calculated. If you sell on Etsy, understanding how this new recency-weighted review system works is critical for protecting your shop's reputation and ranking in Etsy search.
I walk through exactly how Etsy reviews will be calculated going forward, including how older reviews now affect your overall rating and why recent reviews still matter the most.

You'll learn:
• How Etsy's new lifetime review calculation works
• Why reviews are now recency weighted instead of 12-month averages
• How Etsy reduces review impact by 50% every year
• A step-by-step example showing how review scores are calculated
• Which shops will see the biggest rating changes after March 25

One of Etsy's biggest competitors just announced they're shutting down — and the ripple effects matter way more than most sellers realize. I walk through why this handmade marketplace couldn't survive, what its closure reveals about traffic, buyers, and platform power, and why competing with Etsy is far harder than it looks. I also cover Etsy's recent $1.2B sale at a loss, what that signals about their strategy shift, and whether this could mean a refocus on core sellers. We talk competition, platform economics, declining GMS, tariffs, profit margins, and what sellers should realistically expect next. If you sell on Etsy or depend on marketplace traffic, these changes directly affect your future decisions and growth strategy.

I uncovered three sneaky Etsy niches that are quietly pulling in millions—and most sellers are completely overlooking them. I walk through real Etsy marketplace data and estimated revenue to show where buyers are actually spending money right now. I break down why these niches work, how they fit into existing shops, and how to use trend data without turning your shop into a risky trend-only experiment. I also explain how to expand your catalog the smart way, validate demand with Etsy data, and avoid common mistakes that keep sellers stuck chasing shiny objects. If you want more traffic, more sales, and a clearer path to scaling your Etsy shop without starting over, this will flip how you think about niche expansion.

If your Etsy listing feels completely dead, I walk through a clear, step-by-step system to diagnose exactly why it's not selling and what to fix first. I explain the difference between a brand-new listing that never took off versus an older listing that used to sell but suddenly stopped, and why that distinction matters more than most sellers realize.
I cover how long a listing actually needs to sit before you touch it, how to read Etsy listing stats correctly, and how to tell the difference between an SEO problem, a photo problem, or a conversion issue. I break down realistic traffic benchmarks, average conversion rates, and how many visits you truly need before expecting sales.
From there, I go deep into Etsy SEO — how to evaluate your search terms, improve your titles and tags, and choose keyword combinations that match buyer intent instead of guessing. I also explain why listing quality matters more than ever, including photos, video, descriptions, pricing strategy, and perceived value.
Finally, I zoom out to show how your overall shop, listing count, and niche selection directly affect whether individual listings succeed or fail. This is a full diagnostic framework you can reuse on any Etsy listing that isn't performing.

I'm sharing a real Etsy seller situation that caused someone to quit the platform—and how it likely could have been avoided. I walk through what actually happens when Etsy issues refunds, why sellers sometimes lose money, and where misunderstandings around Etsy's Purchase Protection come from.
I break down how Etsy Purchase Protection works, what it does and doesn't cover, and the exact steps sellers should take when an item is lost or arrives damaged. I also explain why emotional reactions and quitting too early can cost you far more in the long run, especially when you're sitting on access to millions of buyers.
You'll also learn how to properly guide buyers through opening cases, how to protect yourself on higher-priced orders, why packaging matters more than most sellers realize, and when it's worth following up with Etsy support instead of walking away. This is about thinking like a business owner, not reacting like a frustrated seller—and making sure one mistake doesn't cost you thousands.

I walk through a simple but powerful 15-minute Etsy listing refresh designed to increase clicks, visits, and overall traffic without creating new products. Etsy SEO in 2026 isn't about constant changes — it's about strategic timing, buyer intent, and conversion clarity, especially with AI overviews and evolving search behavior.
I explain when you should not touch a listing, how to diagnose whether your problem is SEO or conversion, and the exact visit thresholds that tell you what's really wrong. Then I show how to align your thumbnails and titles with true buyer search intent so shoppers actually click.
From there, I break down modern keyword structure — root keywords, lateral support, broad reach, and bottom-of-the-funnel buyer scenarios — and how AI rewards listings written for humans first. Finally, I cover conversion upgrades that turn traffic into sales by increasing perceived value, social proof, and differentiation from competitors.
This refresh framework helps future-proof Etsy listings against AI changes while increasing visibility, clicks, and sales with smarter optimization instead of constant rework.

Etsy just dropped a fresh round of funded coupons — and most sellers have no idea what this really means for their profits. I explain how these Etsy-funded promotions work, why customers are getting 15% off (up to $20), and most importantly… why YOU still get paid in full.
I also cover how Etsy decides who gets these targeted promotions, why this boosts repeat buyers, and how you can stack this with your own coupon strategy to increase conversions fast.
Then I show you how to leverage Etsy's FREE built-in marketing tools — including abandoned cart coupons, favorited item discounts, thank-you offers, and automated email follow-ups — to drive more traffic and sales without spending extra money.
If you're not using these features correctly, you're leaving sales on the table.
Here's what I cover:
• What Etsy funded coupons are and how they work
• Why sellers still receive full payout
• The difference between funded coupons vs your own discounts
• How Etsy targets repeat buyers
• How to set up sales and coupon codes in the Marketing tab
• Using abandoned cart and favorite reminders for free email marketing
• How to improve conversion rates using built-in Etsy tools
• How to stack Etsy's promotions with your own strategy
This is a quick but important update every Etsy seller needs to understand.

My Etsy shop was dead… and I see this happen all the time. In this breakdown, I walk through exactly how to revive a stalled or DOA Etsy shop using a clear 3-step framework that actually works. I explain the two types of "dead" Etsy shops, how to diagnose what's really killing your sales, and why blaming Etsy is the fastest way to stay stuck.
I dive deep into niche selection, competitor analysis, listing strategy, SEO fundamentals, and why most sellers don't have enough data to win. I also cover the importance of listing quality, consistent publishing, and how Etsy's algorithm responds to activity over time.
From there, I explain the real growth levers inside Etsy (SEO, listings, ads, promotions) versus external traffic sources like Pinterest, YouTube, social media, and email. I break down when ads help, when they hurt, and why organic traction always comes first.
Finally, I tie everything together with mindset, delayed gratification, and the exact habits that successful Etsy sellers stick with long after others quit. If your Etsy shop feels stuck, flatlined, or completely dead, this gives you a clear plan to change the trajectory.

I'm answering one of the most confusing Etsy questions sellers struggle with: how many listings you actually need to post to get more sales — without burning out or wasting time. I walk through why chasing high listing numbers backfires, how the Etsy algorithm really responds to new listings, and the exact posting range that produces consistent growth. I explain the danger of mass uploads, the power of slow and steady releases, and how to use performance data as breadcrumbs to build listings that actually sell. I also break down why product lines matter more than random products, how the 80/20 rule applies to Etsy shops, and smart ways to grow listings using variations, bundles, and A/B testing. Finally, I cover posting timing myths, seasonal strategy, and how to build momentum that compounds over time instead of resetting every month.

I'm breaking down the exact Etsy SEO shift that's helping listings hit page one faster—even as AI search, ChatGPT, and Google AI Overviews change how buyers discover products. This isn't about "writing for AI." It's about matching buyer search intent better than your competition, especially at the bottom of the funnel where real buyers live.
I walk through:
• Why page one visibility on Etsy still matters more than ever
• How AI search actually rewards strong buyer intent (not gimmicks)
• The difference between top-of-funnel vs bottom-of-funnel Etsy searches
• Real Etsy search examples that show where sales actually come from
• How to use long-tail, high-intent phrases buyers are already typing
• Where to place these phrases in your listings for maximum impact
• A powerful prompt that helps uncover buyer-ready search terms
• How to adapt your SEO strategy to win across Etsy, Google, and ChatGPT
If you've been stuck on page 3—or wondering why traffic isn't converting—this strategy realigns your listings with how people actually shop now.

I'm exposing one of the biggest Etsy scams happening right now and it's getting worse fast as AI tools become more advanced. Sellers are receiving refund requests backed by fake damage photos that look real at first glance but are completely AI-generated. This scam is hitting Etsy, eBay, and other marketplaces, and newer sellers are being targeted the hardest.
I walk through exactly how this scam works, show real examples of AI-altered images, and explain the subtle red flags most sellers miss. I also share a clear step-by-step protocol you can follow when a buyer claims an item arrived damaged so you don't accidentally refund a scammer.
You'll learn when to require returns, when buyers should pay return shipping, how Etsy's buyer protection actually works, and how to protect yourself with listing policies, packaging proof, and smarter shipping practices. I also explain why pushing back professionally matters and how to handle cases when Etsy gets it wrong without panicking or shutting down your shop.
If you sell on Etsy or plan to, this is something you need to understand now before it costs you money.

I walk through a simple but powerful 9-step Etsy keyword framework that takes you from a blank page to a fully optimized title and tag setup that actually gets traffic. I start with how to define exactly what your product is, then layer in use-cases, buyer intent, features, benefits, and adjacent keyword opportunities so you stop guessing and start targeting what shoppers are really searching for. I also show how to validate demand using keyword tools like Alura, Everbee, and Etsy data so you're not wasting time on dead keywords.
From there, I demonstrate how to turn that research into a high-performing Etsy title using long-tail, buyer-intent keywords placed where the Etsy algorithm looks first, and how to mirror those keywords inside your 13 tags for maximum relevancy. I even cover how to use ChatGPT for brainstorming while still verifying everything with real search volume. By the end, you'll know exactly how to structure your listings so they get found, get clicked, and get sales.

I walk through three fast, practical ways I use to find what's actually selling on Etsy right now so I never have to guess what to list. I start with how to spot real-time trends directly inside Etsy using bestseller data instead of old sales history that can mislead you. Then I show how I validate demand using keyword and product tools so I can see monthly sales, competition, and seasonality before I ever create a product.
After that, I explain how I look deeper into actual listings to uncover what top sellers are doing differently, from tags and pricing to product style and positioning. Finally, I share a bonus trend-hunting method that goes beyond Etsy and taps into what buyers are talking about across the internet, including Reddit, Quora, and social platforms, so you can catch trends before they're saturated.
If you want to grow faster without wasting time on products nobody wants, these methods help you focus on what's already proven to sell and put your own spin on it so you can stand out and scale smarter.

I'm answering the question every Etsy seller is quietly asking in 2026 — is Etsy still worth it, or is it a waste of time now? I walk through what has actually changed on the platform, why the 90+ million buyers still matter, and what most sellers get completely wrong when they try to make sales.
I explain why Etsy is not "broken," why traffic is the real game behind every successful shop, and how sellers who treat Etsy like a real business continue to grow while others quit after a few weeks. I also cover the two traffic levers that decide whether your shop lives or dies, how consistency beats almost every tactic, and why low-barrier niches like print on demand are harder than most people realize.
I finish by showing how competition, value, and positioning determine who wins in 2026 — and how you can still carve out your piece of the pie if you approach Etsy the right way.

I'm tackling one of the most frustrating problems on Etsy, getting traffic that doesn't turn into sales. I walk through the real reasons buyers look at listings but don't purchase, starting with how to properly read your Etsy stats so you know whether you have a traffic problem or a conversion problem. I explain the difference between visits and views, what a healthy conversion rate actually looks like, and how long you need to let a listing run before making changes.
From there, I use my Listing Success Formula to show how low, medium, and high visit counts point to totally different problems, from SEO and thumbnails to pricing and trust issues. I dive deep into the biggest conversion killers, including bad photos, weak or confusing videos, poor pricing strategy, unclear personalization options, and listings that create friction for buyers.
I also explain how to use your images to sell value, how to position your offer so it feels worth the price, and how reviews impact buyer trust. By the end, you'll know exactly how to diagnose what's holding your Etsy shop back and what to fix first so your existing traffic finally turns into consistent sales.

I'm sharing one of the most valuable breakdowns I've ever seen from a real Etsy seller who crossed the $1M mark in sales—and more importantly, how they did it. This isn't theory or hype. It's a practical look at the mindset shifts, listing strategies, pricing decisions, and optimization habits that actually compound results on Etsy.
I walk through the exact principles this seller used to scale, including how they stopped taking sales personally, improved conversion rates, designed listing images that stop the scroll, fixed leaks between clicks and checkouts, avoided racing to the bottom on price, and used photos, video, ads, and customer service to do the heavy lifting. I also explain why consistency, fresh listings, split testing, and treating Etsy like a real business—not a hobby—creates long-term momentum.
If you're trying to get more sales, raise your conversion rate, or build a sustainable Etsy shop without burnout, this is the roadmap to focus on first.

I share why Etsy reviews matter more than ever and how they directly impact SEO, trust, and long-term sales growth. I walk through five proven strategies that help Etsy sellers increase their review rate well beyond the average, without begging or annoying buyers. I explain how product quality, faster shipping, better packaging, smart buyer messaging, and unexpected value-adds can dramatically increase five-star reviews. I also cover a bonus SEO tactic most sellers overlook that helps lock in reviews while reinforcing keyword relevance inside your shop. If you want more reviews, higher trust, and more money from the same traffic, this strategy stack is essential.

I asked ChatGPT to help me make money on Etsy—but not in the generic way most people use AI. I walk through a real, step-by-step prompt sequence designed specifically for Etsy sellers who want faster results, not vague advice.
I show how chaining prompts together completely changes the quality of output, starting with proper seller context, narrowing down to a single high-probability product focus, and using simple math to map pricing and volume to real revenue goals. I then use ChatGPT to generate a 90-day execution plan that works with limited time, limited budget, and no existing audience.
I also cover how to validate buyer demand using Etsy-native behaviors (not opinions), how to avoid common beginner mistakes that slow sales, and how to use AI as a decision-making tool instead of a motivation trap. Finally, I demonstrate a mindset diagnosis prompt that acts like a business coach to identify execution blocks and turn them into a short proof sprint.
This approach shows why "How do I make more money on Etsy?" is the wrong question—and how better prompts lead to better strategy, better action, and better results.

I'm showing you my "secret weapon" workflow for Etsy Print-on-Demand that lets you pump out better designs + more realistic mockups fast (so your listings don't look like the same generic POD template everyone else is using).
Here's what I walk through:
• How to use Kittl to get instant design inspiration, build a design from templates, and remix it with AI for multiple variations in seconds
• How to validate demand BEFORE you waste time designing (Etsy Marketplace Insights + Alura for deeper keyword/product research, sales filters, and revenue estimates)
• How to create lifestyle mockups that look real (and remix those mockups again so you stand out)
• Why "product lines" beat one-off listings (80/20 rule: find the 20% of designs that generate 80% of sales)
• How to fulfill + sync products to Etsy using Printful so listings push over as drafts, then you finalize SEO titles/tags in Etsy
If you're a POD seller who feels like you're "throwing mud at the wall," this gives you a repeatable system to go from idea → validated niche → design → mockups → multiple listing variations → published product… way faster.

I'm closing out the year by calling out the three biggest Etsy mistakes I've seen holding sellers back in 2025 and what to do instead going into 2026. I walk through why underutilized shop sections quietly hurt traffic and trust, how your photos and listing visuals directly control clicks and conversions, and why a lack of niche focus makes growth harder than it needs to be. I also explain how Etsy's algorithm uses your shop data, how to turn images into sales tools instead of placeholders, and how targeting a clear audience makes product creation easier and more profitable over time. If you want more traffic, better conversions, and a stronger foundation heading into the new year, this is the reset most sellers need.

I pick a random Etsy shop and show how I would change its trajectory using just three high-impact fixes in under 10 minutes. I focus on the exact areas that hold most Etsy shops back early on and explain how small, strategic changes can dramatically improve traffic, clicks, and conversions.
I start by evaluating the shop at a glance to set realistic expectations around sales, reviews, and growth timelines. Then I walk through the first major fix: branding and shop aesthetic, including how banners, logos, and the About section influence buyer trust and Etsy SEO. Next, I explain why listing sections are one of the most overlooked SEO and conversion tools on Etsy and how they act like mini landing pages for both shoppers and search. Finally, I dive into product photography and video, breaking down why consistency, backgrounds, lighting, and movement matter so much in crowded Etsy search results.
This walkthrough is designed to help you spot the same issues in your own shop and apply these fixes quickly, without getting overwhelmed by minor details.

I show you the exact 8-step system I use to take an Etsy shop from "no sales" to the first 100 orders and beyond. I start with real proof from one of my own shops that's done over $500K in revenue, then walk through how to build a simple, repeatable process instead of chasing "magic products."
Here's what I cover:
– Why your first 10–100 sales feel impossible (and why it's not your fault)
– How to choose a profitable, passion-driven niche that can actually feed you long term
– A simple way to validate demand using Etsy's marketplace insights and external keyword tools like Alura
– How to build focused product lines so the algorithm clearly understands who you serve
– Ways to differentiate your products on purpose: better photos, value adds, materials, and experience
– The listing cadence I recommend so you stay consistent without burning out
– How to "follow the breadcrumbs" in your stats to double down on what's already working
– The 100-visit rule that tells you whether you have a traffic problem or a conversion problem
– Using Etsy's internal marketing (coupons, abandoned cart offers, sales, and when to use ads)
– When and how to layer in outside traffic like Pinterest, YouTube, blogging, or email without overwhelming yourself
If you want a realistic, data-driven way to grow faster on Etsy without guessing at what to do next, this episode gives you the framework I use over and over again.

I'm pulling back the curtain on the exact 5-step process I used to grow my Etsy shop from just a few thousand dollars a year to over $100K by following the "breadcrumbs" inside Etsy stats.

• How to spot your top-performing listings and turn them into a scalable product line
• A simple 5-part listing strategy to create more winners and profitable variations

• Why a consistent 2–5 listings per week routine beats random "throw spaghetti" listing

I'm revealing the top Etsy niches to dominate in 2026 and beyond, based on real buyer demand, long-term sustainability trends, and niches with a naturally high barrier to entry that keep competition low.
My focus is on niches with strong customer demand, long runway, and profit potential, even for sellers who want to start fresh or pivot into a more sustainable business model.
Here's exactly what I cover:
• What makes a niche profitable in 2026
Demand indicators, long-term sustainability signs, and how barrier-to-entry affects competition.
• The 8 best Etsy niches to start or pivot into
I break down equipment needs, skill requirements, market trends, pros, cons, and why each niche is exploding.
• Why 3D printing is becoming one of Etsy's biggest goldmines
High demand, low saturation, incredible product variety, and how AI + CAD is speeding up product development.
• Laser cutting & engraving trends
Why personalized acrylic/wood products are booming and what 2026's "layered 3D art" trend means for sellers.
• The woodworking resurgence
Why buyers are rejecting cheap imports and paying premium prices for small-batch craftsmanship.
• High-end apparel & embroidery micro-brands
Why embroidered apparel is outperforming POD and how digitizing skills unlock high-margin income.
• Polymer clay & resin for pros
The rise of hyper-realistic minis, mixed-media pieces, and personalized micro-creations.
• Metal stamping & silversmithing
Why meaningful heirloom-style jewelry is booming and how real craftsmanship outperforms mass-produced goods.
• High-complexity digital products
How digital files tied to the "maker economy" (3D printable files, laser SVGs, embroidery files) are exploding.
• Scented products & clean branding
Why clean-ingredient candles/soaps with high-end branding still sell—and why they're hard to get right.
If you're planning to start a new Etsy shop, pivot your niche, or scale a more profitable model… this breakdown gives you the clearest look at where Etsy is going in 2026.

I'm walking through the exact three Etsy Traffic Pillars that determine how fast your shop grows and how many sales you make. These pillars—Marketing, Listings, and Money—control nearly every outcome in your Etsy business. Once you understand which lever to pull (and when), you can finally create consistent traffic instead of guessing.
Here's what I cover inside:
• Why traffic is the #1 bottleneck for Etsy sellers
• The three Traffic Pillars and how they actually work
• Inside-Etsy vs. outside-Etsy traffic sources
• How to use listings strategically instead of randomly
• How to follow "breadcrumbs" from your best sellers
• How seasonal and holiday listings boost traffic without becoming a trend-only shop
• The fastest way to test SEO using AB listings
• How to expand your niche through smart sub-niches
• When to use money—ads, offsite ads, equipment—to increase traffic
• How to decide whether you need more TIME or more MONEY to grow faster
These are the same levers I've used to grow my Etsy shop past $500,000+ in sales, and they work whether you're brand new or scaling.

I'm sharing a brand-new Etsy shipping update that finally makes it easier for UK sellers to ship confidently to U.S. buyers. This change removes surprise customs fees, reduces disputes, and opens a much bigger buyer pool — just in time for the holiday rush.
Here's what I cover:
• The major shipping upgrade Etsy just released for UK sellers
• How Royal Mail Duties Paid works inside Etsy
• Why U.S. buyers won't get surprise customs charges anymore
• How this update helps reduce delivery issues and disputes
• What sellers still need to watch out for (fees, pricing, handling charges)
• How to use Etsy's new U.S.-only pricing feature to protect your margins
• Why this makes selling to the U.S. more realistic during the holidays
• What to expect moving forward with tariffs and international fees
This update is a big deal for Etsy UK sellers who have avoided shipping to the U.S. because of customs headaches. Now you can expand your market and keep things running smoothly with much fewer surprises.

Here's the link to submit a help ticket to Etsy: https://help.etsy.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?segment=selling&ticket_form_id=360000108008#issue_sell_manage_listings
I'm diving into the ongoing Etsy search visibility glitch that's causing listings to disappear from search entirely. Sellers are seeing their traffic drop to zero overnight, their exact-match titles not showing up at all, and their shop analytics collapsing with no clear explanation from Etsy. I walk through what's happening, why this glitch is spreading, how sellers are testing their listings, and the urgent steps you need to take to escalate this to Etsy before it damages your shop long-term.
You'll also hear updates straight from Etsy forums, what moderators and engineers are saying, and the temporary fixes some sellers are experimenting with—like vacation mode—along with why you should be cautious. I also share the direct help-desk link so you can skip the confusing menu and submit a proper case with screenshots in minutes.
What I cover:
• What the "total search invisibility" glitch looks like
• Why exact-match searches aren't showing listings
• What Etsy moderators and engineers have acknowledged so far
• Why submitting a help ticket is absolutely critical
• How mass escalation speeds up Etsy's internal response
• Temporary fixes some sellers are trying (and why to be careful)
• How to track updates and report back if Etsy responds to your case
If you're being hit by this glitch, you're not alone. The faster we escalate it, the faster Etsy fixes it—and the sooner your traffic can recover.

Sellers everywhere are suddenly seeing their Etsy traffic collapse—and many are realizing their listings have gone completely invisible in Etsy search. I'm walking through what's actually happening, how to check if your listings were affected, why this glitch is impacting sellers differently, and what actions are safe (and unsafe) to take right now.
You'll see how I test visibility using exact-match searches in incognito mode, why vacation mode is a trap, what Etsy moderators have confirmed, and the real reason this bug hurts Etsy financially—making it something they must fix. I also explain how to avoid panic moves that can tank your shop long-term, plus smarter ways to diversify your traffic sources.
I wrap up by sharing how I'm helping sellers protect their shops, grow long-term traffic, and stay motivated—even when Etsy throws a curveball.
What I cover:
• What Etsy sellers are reporting about "total search invisibility"
• How to check if your listings were hit (exact-match method)
• What Etsy moderators have officially said so far
• Why this is NOT a de-indexing issue
• Dangerous "fixes" sellers are recommending (and why to avoid them)
• How vacation mode destroys your search ranking
• What Etsy actually has to lose if this continues
• What to do while waiting for Etsy to fix the issue
• Smart moves to diversify your traffic without abandoning Etsy
• The traffic challenge I created to help sellers grow consistently

I get asked this all the time as an Etsy coach: do more listings actually equal more sales—or are you just burning yourself out uploading random products? In this episode, I walk through real shop examples, my own $550K+ shop data, and the five big factors that actually move the needle for your sales.
Here's what I cover step-by-step:
• The real relationship between listing count and sales
I share how many listings my best-performing shop has, when sales really took off, and why the number alone doesn't guarantee results.
• Real Etsy shop examples (high and low listing counts)
I pull up multiple pet-related shops—from 1,000+ listings to under 20—and show how some shops crush it with tons of listings while others win big with just a handful.
• High barrier vs low barrier products
I explain why more specialized, complex, or equipment-heavy products can win with fewer listings, and why low-barrier niches (like POD shirts and mugs) usually need more listings plus stronger differentiation.
• Random listings vs serving a clear target market
I use a simple "road" visual to show how scattered, unrelated listings confuse the algorithm and your buyers—versus building product lines that all serve the same ideal customer and feed each other traffic.
• Passion vs chasing quick money
I talk honestly about why shops built only for fast cash usually quit, and how caring about your niche gives you the stamina to push through slow seasons and competition.
• The Ultimate Etsy Traffic Challenge & app
I walk through my 28-day Etsy traffic challenge inside Etsy Games VIP, including the app I built that gives you daily tasks, tracks your points, and rewards you for consistent action.
• Throwing mud vs strategy with your listings
I show why "I just need 100 listings" is a trap, and how to use your data to decide which listings to create next instead of randomly uploading whatever's on your list.
• Improving vs staying stuck in the status quo
I wrap up with a mindset shift: how to constantly improve your photos, descriptions, and product lines, and how to outwork and out-iterate your competition over time.
If you're stuck at "I have listings but no sales," this episode will help you understand what's actually missing and how to build a smarter, more strategic Etsy shop that grows long term.

I help Etsy sellers who feel completely lost on what to sell, pick a profitable niche and build a product line that can actually scale. I start by showing you how to choose a niche you're passionate about (so you don't burn out chasing random trends), then walk through real demand and product research using Etsy Marketplace Insights plus tools like Alura, EverBee, and eRank.
You'll see how I filter down to high-demand products, test niches the smart way, and use a "1,000 product" mindset to avoid dead-end ideas. Then I take a dog portrait example and turn that single idea into an entire product line with breed-specific SEO, style variations, and strategic pricing tiers that signal to the Etsy algorithm you're the go-to shop in your niche.
By the end, you'll know how to:
– Choose a niche based on passion and demand
– Use Etsy Insights and third-party tools to validate product ideas
– Avoid "yard sale" shops by committing to one focused niche
– Turn one idea into dozens of profitable listings with variations and bundles
– Leverage the 80/20 rule to double down on winners and expand into new niches (like cats and full pet art brands)
If you want feedback, strategy support, and hands-on help implementing this, I also invite you into my Etsy Games VIP community where we dig into your shop, niche, and product line together.

Here's my last-minute Etsy holiday prep game plan to squeeze the most sales out of the season—without burning out. I cover fee-saving links, conversion boosters, inventory failsafes, deadline messaging, and fast ways to handle 2–3× order spikes.
What you'll learn:
• Save 4% on fees with Share & Save links (and where to update them across socials and bios)

• Smart supply stocking, gift-wrap upsells, and packaging that earns repeat buyers
• POD/physical inventory accuracy checks that prevent out-of-stock headaches
• Policy/FAQ refreshes + holiday banners/feature images that match buyer intent
• USPS deadline strategy with your buffer dates and where to post them (banner, photos, bulk edits)
• Batch your life: preschedule posts, canned replies, push notifications for instant DMs
• Handling a surge: pricing, processing-time tweaks, and shipping-window extensions
• Create holiday bundles/sets and use seasonal long-tail keywords for discovery
• Bonus growth moves: holiday shop sections, duplicate best sellers with seasonal SEO, personalization, run sales/free shipping, add coupon + review ask on packing slips

I'm breaking down one of the biggest struggles Etsy sellers face — choosing between building a niche shop or chasing trends. I share the real differences, the pros and cons, and the long-term impact on your business so you can stop guessing and start growing with clarity.
I explain why niche strategy creates sustainability, consistency, and repeat buyers — and why trend-chasing creates burnout, stress, and short-lived wins. I also walk through how to blend both strategies the smart way, so you get steady evergreen income while still capturing seasonal and timely spikes in traffic.
Here's what I cover:
• Niche clarity and why it brings better long-term results
• Trend chasing pitfalls and why most sellers burn out
• Sustainability vs. speed — which actually grows faster
• How to incorporate trends without losing your shop's flow
• Smart ways to blend niches + trends for double the opportunity
• How to avoid trademark issues when using pop culture
• Why passion matters when choosing your shop direction
• Building a cohesive shop instead of a "yard sale look"
I keep it real and strategic with practical, easy-to-follow guidance you can implement today.

I reveal the real truth about the "100 Etsy Listings" strategy — and why it's NOT the magic formula everyone online says it is. After listing thousands of products and generating over $500K in Etsy sales, I've learned what actually works (and what wastes your time).
Here's what you'll learn step-by-step:
• Why the 100 listing rule isn't enough to grow your shop
• How to use data and the Etsy algorithm to your advantage
• The real reason niches outperform trend-chasing sellers
• How to release listings strategically for faster growth
• Building product lines that multiply your sales
• The simple strategy top Etsy sellers use to scale fast
• How to use your analytics to find bestsellers and repeat success
This is the truth Etsy coaches won't tell you — because most don't even know it.

I'm breaking down Etsy's brand-new international pricing tool—and what every non-U.S. seller needs to know before it impacts your profit margins. If you sell to U.S. buyers, tariffs and duty fees can eat away at your income fast, but this update changes the game. I'll walk you through exactly where to find the new toggle, how to set prices correctly, and which third-party tools like Zonos can help you calculate and offset extra costs.
You'll also learn how to:
• Avoid losing money to hidden fees and tariffs
• Use Zonos.com to calculate duties and taxes before setting prices
• Handle returns and exchanges the smart way under new fee rules
• Protect your margins and ship confidently to U.S. buyers
• Use delivery-duty-paid providers like DHL or UPS for compliance
• Keep your Etsy shop competitive even as costs rise

Etsy's stock just dropped — and I'm breaking down exactly what that means for sellers like us. 🚨 This isn't just another market headline — it's a major shift that could shape your shop's future.
Here's what's really going on:
- A new CEO is stepping in to replace Josh Silverman after 8 years of mixed reactions from sellers.
- Etsy's active buyers and sellers are down, showing warning signs across the marketplace.
- Other big players like Amazon and eBay are seeing similar trends — so this isn't just an Etsy problem.
- I'll cover 3 key actions every seller needs to take right now to stay competitive and protect revenue:
1️⃣ Stand out in a shrinking market.
2️⃣ Lean into personalization and storytelling.
3️⃣ Rework pricing using psychological triggers like price anchoring.
I'll also share why Etsy's push toward AI and distinct inventory could actually be a massive opportunity — if you adapt your shop strategy fast.

00:09:39 Encouragement for sellers and final thoughts
I'm showing you the exact framework I used to go from zero sales to consistent momentum—ultimately passing $550,000 in Etsy revenue. You'll learn the psychological journey every seller goes through, how to pick a tight niche the algorithm actually understands, the cadence for shipping listings without burning out, and the metrics that prove you're on track (including the 1% conversion benchmark). I'll also cover when to layer in marketing (and when not to), which channels compound over time, and the weekly system that keeps growth predictable.
What you'll learn
• Mindset map: uninformed optimism → informed pessimism → valley of despair → informed optimism → success
• Niche strategy: why focus beats "sell everything" and how the algorithm rewards depth
• Listing cadence: a simple weekly target to feed the algo and gather data fast
• Momentum signals: traffic → favorites → sales (and how to mine listing stats/keywords)
• Benchmarks: the 1% conversion rule and how to interpret it at low volumes
• Go deeper: multiplying winners, avoiding shiny-object detours
• Marketing timing: when to use coupons, sales, and (later) Etsy Ads without wasting budget
• Traffic that compounds: Pinterest, YouTube, and blog vs. short-life social posts
• The weekly flywheel: research → create → analyze → refine → expand

Etsy just partnered with OpenAI — and this changes everything. I’ll show you exactly how this integration works, how Etsy listings are now appearing directly in ChatGPT searches, and what you can do to make sure your products are the ones that show up.
We’ll break down how ChatGPT product discovery is reshaping SEO, what “bottom of the funnel” really means for Etsy listings, and how to write titles, tags, and descriptions that ChatGPT actually understands. You’ll see examples of real searches like “motivational shirt” vs. “XL gray lion shirt for the gym” — and how that difference determines who gets the sale.
Then I’ll walk you through my proven Etsy ChatGPT SEO Guide — including optimized title and tag strategies, long-tail keyword examples, and a plug-and-play description template built to dominate AI-powered search.
By the end, you’ll know how to:
✅ Get your Etsy listings shown directly in ChatGPT results
✅ Write bottom-of-funnel listings that convert buyers faster
✅ Structure your descriptions for AI visibility and real-world sales
✅ Use attributes and tags the right way for better exposure

Here’s how I turn Pinterest into an Etsy sales engine—fast. I start with the big mindset shifts (Pinterest is a visual search engine, not social), then show how to get discovered with the right keywords, “savable” pins, and simple videos. I cover the Etsy mistakes that quietly kill reach (pinning straight from Etsy, weak links, seasonal timing), why claiming a domain boosts distribution, and what to post (process clips, styled shots, comparisons). I wrap with a practical cadence you can maintain, when to consider Tailwind, and how to prep for holiday spikes without burning out.
What you’ll learn
• Strategy that still works in 2025 (and what changed since 2020)
• Pinterest vs. Etsy SEO (and how to pick keywords that rank)
• “Saves-first” content that converts later
• Exactly what to post: product shots, behind-the-scenes, quick demos, lifestyle, short video
• Claiming your site, linking the right URL, naming boards to index faster
• Seasonal timing (start in August for Q4), organic before ads, sustainable posting cadence

I’m diving into Etsy’s latest title change recommendations—and why they’re causing chaos for sellers. If you’ve been tempted to shorten your titles or follow Etsy’s new guidelines, watch this first. I explain exactly how changing titles can reset your listings, tank your traffic, and crush your sales.
Here’s what I cover:
• Why Etsy’s advice on shorter titles is misleading and risky
• How the algorithm uses listing history and customer behavior to rank products
• The real danger of changing titles on best-selling listings
• When (and how) you can test shorter titles on new or underperforming listings
• Why keyword research tools like Alura, eRank, and EverBee are more reliable than Etsy’s AI tool
• A smarter way to protect your traffic, test safely, and avoid wrecking your shop
• The importance of using proven keywords with real search traffic
• How to approach Etsy’s updates strategically without tanking your sales
This is a must-watch if you want to protect your shop and avoid costly mistakes.

I’m diving into a head-to-head breakdown of Etsy vs Go Imagine to help you decide where to sell your handmade products. If you’ve ever felt frustrated with Etsy’s rising fees, constant changes, or tricky ad system, you’ve probably wondered if Go Imagine is a better alternative.

Etsy just dropped a massive change to their ads platform — and it’s going to affect every seller running Etsy Ads. I walk you through exactly what’s different, how the new “ad strategy buckets” work, and why this could be a big problem if you’re not careful.
Here’s what I cover step by step:
• The new $25/day minimum to access Etsy’s ad strategy options
• What each of the three strategies actually means for your shop
• Why the “balanced” strategy is your default if you spend less than $25
• The risk of increasing orders vs. increasing return on ad spend
• The hidden cost sellers don’t realize with these changes
• Whether or not you should even be running ads right now
• Why organic sales are more important than ever before
• How to avoid losing hundreds of dollars testing the wrong strategy
This change is still in beta, but it could completely shift how sellers approach Etsy Ads. Before you touch your ad budget, watch this breakdown to avoid costly mistakes.

Etsy Search Secrets: What REALLY Impacts Your Rankings
If you’ve ever wondered how Etsy’s search algorithm works and what actually helps (or hurts) your ranking, you’re not alone. Sellers are always searching for ways to improve their visibility and get more sales, but Etsy recently confirmed that two major factors DO NOT impact your search rankings—the Star Seller badge and Etsy Ads.
However, there’s more to the story! In this post, I’ll break down exactly what Etsy said, how their search system works, and what you should focus on to increase your traffic and sales.
The Truth About the Star Seller Badge
For years, many sellers have believed that earning the Star Seller badge gives their shop a boost in search rankings. But according to Etsy, this isn’t true—the badge itself doesn’t help your listings rank higher.
That said, the factors that go into earning the Star Seller badge DO affect your search ranking. Etsy’s algorithm considers:
✔️ Message response time – Fast replies improve your shop’s standing.
✔️ Shipping speed – Late shipments can lower your search visibility.
✔️ Review score – Higher reviews help Etsy’s algorithm trust your shop.
So while the badge itself isn’t a ranking factor, meeting the requirements for it absolutely benefits your visibility in search.
Etsy Ads vs. Organic Search Rankings
Another common myth is that running Etsy Ads boosts your organic search performance. This is false.
Etsy separates paid and organic search performance. Even if your ad campaigns generate clicks and sales, they won’t improve your organic ranking. Likewise, a listing that performs well organically won’t necessarily do well in ads.
This is why I don’t recommend running Etsy Ads before optimizing your shop for organic sales. If you can’t sell your product without ads, it’s usually an SEO or niche issue—advertising won’t magically fix it. Instead, focus on improving your SEO, product photos, and descriptions first.
How Etsy’s Search Algorithm Works
Understanding how Etsy ranks listings will help you set up your shop for success. Etsy’s search process happens in two phases:
Step 1: Query Matching
When a shopper types something into the search bar, Etsy gathers all the listings that match that query. This is based on keywords in your titles, tags, descriptions, and attributes.
For example, if someone searches for “gold heart pendant necklace,” Etsy pulls up listings with those keywords and related terms. However, just having the right keywords doesn’t guarantee a high ranking.
Step 2: Ranking Listings
Once Etsy gathers all potential listings, it ranks them based on several factors, including:
✅ Relevancy – Are your keywords an exact match for what the buyer searched?
✅ Shop & Listing Quality – Are all sections filled out? Do your listings look professional?
✅ Customer Service Metrics – Fast responses, on-time shipping, and high review ratings help.
✅ Engagement Rate – Etsy tracks clicks, favorites, and purchases to see if people like your listing.
✅ Recency Boost – New listings get a short-term visibility boost to see how they perform.
✅ Shopper Behavior – Etsy customizes results based on each buyer’s previous activity.
Why You Should Never Search for Your Own Listings
One of the biggest mistakes Etsy sellers make is searching for their own products to check their ranking. Etsy tailors search results to each shopper based on their past behavior, so what you see isn’t what your customers see.
Even if you use incognito mode, your results won’t be 100% accurate because Etsy still personalizes search based on broader shopper trends. Instead, focus on using keyword research tools and tracking your actual sales performance to gauge your visibility.
What You Can Control to Improve Your Etsy Rankings
While some ranking factors (like buyer behavior) are out of your hands, there’s still plenty you can control:
✔️ Optimize your listings – Use clear, keyword-rich titles and descriptions.
✔️ Improve listing quality – Upload multiple high-quality photos and fill out all attributes.
✔️ Maintain good shop metrics – Fast shipping, great reviews, and quick responses matter.
✔️ Drive engagement – Encourage customers to favorite, share, and review your products.
✔️ Monitor performance – Track what’s working and tweak your listings based on real data.
By focusing on what you can control, you’ll give your shop the best chance of success—regardless of Etsy’s algorithm updates.

26 Strategies I Use to Help Etsy Sellers Succeed
In this podcast episode, I shared the key strategies that I’ve seen top 1% Etsy sellers use to grow their shops and dominate the platform. These aren’t about luck—they’re actionable steps that can help any seller move closer to their goals.
I started by talking about how important mindset and passion are. Success on Etsy isn’t instant—it takes time, consistency, and a genuine love for what you do to push through challenges and keep going. I also emphasized the importance of treating your shop like a business. Showing up consistently, investing in tools like Alura and Canva, and building solid habits are essential to long-term success.
Education plays a big role, too. I encourage sellers to continuously learn, whether through free resources like my Etsy Games platform or by investing in courses. Every action in your shop should have a strategy and purpose. I always tell people to focus on what they can control and not waste energy on things like algorithm changes.
Consistency is another big factor. Regularly creating and improving listings not only helps you grow but also keeps you in tune with your niche and audience. And let’s not forget visuals—high-quality photos and videos can make or break a sale, so it’s worth investing in good lighting and staging.
Understanding profit margins, running promotions, and offering stellar customer service are all part of the equation, too. Reviews build trust, so I shared tips on how to get more of them. I also talked about the importance of taking action—learning by doing is the fastest way to grow.
Finally, I discussed the power of email marketing and standing out from the competition. Building a list and nurturing it with valuable content can drive repeat buyers, and finding ways to add value to your niche will set you apart.
This episode was packed with actionable tips to help Etsy sellers succeed. If you’re ready to grow your shop, these 26 strategies are your blueprint to joining the top 1% of sellers.

5 Steps to Jumpstart Your Etsy Business for 2025
As we head into 2025, I want to share a simple yet powerful 5-step plan to help you jumpstart your Etsy business, overcome challenges, and move closer to your goals. Whether you’re feeling stuck or just looking for fresh inspiration, these steps will give you clarity, focus, and the momentum you need to thrive. Let’s dive in!
- Embrace the Truth About Passion and Hard Work
You’ve probably heard the phrase, “Do something you love, and you’ll never work a day in your life.” While it sounds great, I have to call it out—it’s not true.Even when you’re passionate about your work, it still takes effort, consistency, and determination to make it successful.
The reality is that running an Etsy business can feel like hard work, even if you love what you do. And that’s okay! Passion is essential because it helps you push through tough times, but passion alone isn’t enough. Success comes from sticking with it, even when the grind feels overwhelming.
Remember, you’re not just selling products; you’re solving problems and bringing value to your audience. If you truly care about your customers, you’ll find the motivation to keep going, even when the work feels challenging.
- Avoid Fly-By-Night Strategies
Etsy success isn’t about chasing quick fixes or gaming the system. Many sellers fall into the trap of trying to hack their way to the top—whether it’s using outdated tricks to manipulate the algorithm or relying solely on fleeting trends.
For example, some sellers used to renew their listings daily, hoping for a temporary search boost. That tactic doesn’t work anymore, and even if it did, it’s not sustainable. Similarly, basing your shop entirely on trending products can lead to constant stress, as trends fade quickly.
Instead, focus on building a sustainable business model. Learn tried-and-true Etsy SEO strategies, understand your niche, and cater to a specific audience. This approach will save you time, money, and frustration in the long run.
- Build a Sustainable Business by Serving a Target Market
If you want to thrive on Etsy, you need to focus on serving a specific audience or niche. This means understanding your customers’ needs, preferences, and pain points. Who are they? What problems can your products solve for them?
When you center your business around a target audience, you create a roadmap for success. Instead of chasing trends or throwing random products into your shop, you’ll have a clear direction.
Here’s the key: Stop thinking about “making money” and start thinking about how to serve your audience. Focus on their needs, their likes, and what will genuinely make their lives better. Over time, this approach will not only bring in sales but also build customer loyalty and trust.
- Master the Do-Learn-Do Cycle
If there’s one formula that leads to success, it’s this: Do, Learn, Do. Here’s how it works:
• Do: Take action in your business. List new products, test new keywords, or try a new marketing strategy.
• Learn: Analyze the results. Which listings are getting traffic? What’s selling? What’s not?
• Do Again: Use what you’ve learned to refine your approach, then take action again.
This cycle is all about continuous improvement. Too many people get stuck because they’re afraid to start, or they take action but don’t learn from the results. The more you repeat this process, the better you’ll get at identifying what works and what doesn’t.
- Stay Consistent
Consistency is the secret sauce to Etsy success. It’s not about doing everything perfectly but about showing up regularly and putting in the work.
For example, adding new listings consistently is one of the best ways to improve your shop’s visibility and sales. Based on recent Etsy seller polls I conducted, most sellers who struggle aren’t adding listings frequently enough.
Here’s the truth: You can’t expect to see results if you’re not consistently working on your shop. Whether it’s creating new products, improving old listings, or researching keywords, small, consistent actions add up over time.
Final Thoughts: Your Roadmap for 2025
Running a successful Etsy business isn’t about shortcuts or quick wins—it’s about building a strong foundation and staying committed to your goals.
• Focus on hard work and passion, knowing that it takes effort to succeed.
• Avoid gimmicks and fly-by-night strategies, and instead build a business that lasts.
• Serve a specific audience and meet their needs with amazing products.
• Embrace the do-learn-do cycle for continuous growth.
• Stay consistent, even when progress feels slow.
2025 can be your best year yet if you stay focused, take action, and refuse to give up. You’ve got this—I’m rooting for you every step of the way! Let me know in the comments what your biggest goal is for 2025, and let’s make it happen together.

Everything You Need to Know About Tax Changes for Etsy Sellers in 2024
As an Etsy seller, staying on top of tax changes is critical to running your business smoothly. In my recent podcast episode, I broke down the upcoming IRS reporting changes for the 2024 tax year, focusing on how they impact sellers using platforms like Etsy, eBay, and even payment apps like Venmo and PayPal. Here’s a summary of the key points from our conversation, designed to help you navigate these changes with confidence.
Will You Get a $1099 for Etsy Sales Over $600 in 2024?
This is the big question on every seller’s mind. The short answer: not yet. For the past two years, the IRS has been delaying the move to the $600 threshold for 1099 reporting, which means the threshold remains higher for 2024. As of now, you’ll receive a 1099 form only if you earn more than $5,000 in untaxed income through third-party payment apps.
The IRS is giving payment platforms additional time to prepare for the lower $600 reporting threshold, which is scheduled to take effect in the 2025 tax season. So, for 2024, the $5,000 threshold still applies—but this is the last year for that limit.
Understanding Taxable vs. Non-Taxable Transactions
One of the trickiest parts of these changes is distinguishing between taxable and non-taxable income. Let me simplify it for you with a few examples:
• Non-Taxable Transactions: Money received as a gift (like birthday money from family), reimbursement for shared expenses (like splitting a dinner bill via Venmo), or selling personal items at a loss (like furniture on Facebook Marketplace).
• Taxable Transactions: Income from services or products sold, such as an Etsy order, a freelance project, or items sold for more than their purchase price (like collectible sneakers).
The delayed rollout of the $600 threshold is giving platforms like Venmo, PayPal, and Cash App more time to refine their systems for accurately reporting taxable income.
Why This Matters for Etsy Sellers
If you’re selling on Etsy, eBay, Poshmark, or other marketplaces, these changes matter because they impact how your income is reported. Even if you don’t receive a 1099, the IRS requires you to report all income earned—even if it’s just a dollar. While many sellers only report income when they get a 1099, it’s crucial to stay compliant and report everything to avoid issues down the road.
For platforms like Etsy, this tax season will look similar to last year, with the $5,000 threshold in place. But if you’re also selling through apps like Venmo or Cash App, be prepared for stricter reporting starting in 2025.
Selling Personal Items? Here’s What You Should Know
If you sell personal items, like furniture or clothing, for less than what you originally paid for them, you won’t owe taxes. For instance, if you bought a couch for $500 and sold it for $200, that sale is not taxable because you incurred a loss. However, if you’re selling items that appreciate in value—like rare collectibles—you’ll need to report any profits.
Preparing for 2024 and Beyond
Here’s the bottom line: don’t panic, but do prepare. If you’re earning untaxed income, keep accurate records and understand what’s taxable and what’s not. By staying informed, you can avoid surprises during tax season.
This year, you may receive a 1099 if your untaxed income exceeds $5,000. Next year, that threshold will drop to $600, so now is the time to make sure your records are in order. Whether you’re selling crafts on Etsy, items on Facebook Marketplace, or offering freelance services, staying ahead of these changes will help you run your business confidently.

When it comes to running Etsy ads and offsite ads, one of the biggest questions I get is: Are they worth it, or are they just a waste of money? In my latest podcast episode, I tackled this topic head-on, sharing everything you need to know to run ads effectively without blowing your budget. Here’s a breakdown of the key points we discussed.
What Are Etsy Ads?
Etsy ads are promoted listings that show up in Etsy’s search results. If you’ve ever searched for a product on Etsy, you’ve probably noticed rows of listings marked as “promoted.” These ads let sellers pay to boost their products in search results, giving them a chance to skip the line and get more visibility.
What I love about Etsy ads is the level of control you have. You can decide:
• Which listings to promote
• How much money to spend per day (starting at $5)
• Which keywords you want to target
That control makes them a great tool—if you know how to use them wisely.
Gradual Budget Changes Are Key
One of the biggest mistakes I see sellers make is drastically increasing their ad budget overnight. If you jump from spending $5 a day to $50, Etsy’s algorithm can’t keep up, and your money won’t be well spent. Instead, I recommend gradually increasing your budget in small steps, like going from $5 to $8, then to $12, and so on.
This slow-and-steady approach gives the algorithm time to adjust and ensures your ad spend is optimized for results.
Ads Won’t Fix Bad Listings
Here’s a hard truth: If your Etsy listings aren’t optimized, ads won’t save them. If you’re not already getting organic sales, running ads will only send traffic to listings that aren’t converting—and that can actually hurt your ranking.
Before investing in ads, make sure your listings are in top shape. That means great photos, compelling descriptions, competitive pricing, and SEO-friendly keywords. Ads should amplify success, not cover up weaknesses.
Offsite Ads: What You Need to Know
Offsite ads are a completely different ballgame. Etsy runs these ads for you on platforms like Google, Facebook, and Bing. The catch? You don’t have much control over them. Etsy decides which of your listings to promote and charges you a fee only when a sale is made.
Here’s how the fees work:
• If you make over $10,000 in a rolling 12-month period, you’re automatically opted in, and the fee is up to 12%.
• If you make less than $10,000, you can choose to opt-in, but the fee is up to 15%.
In my experience, offsite ads tend to perform better than Etsy ads because Etsy is highly selective about which listings it promotes. This can result in a better return on ad spend (ROAS).
Understanding ROAS (Return on Ad Spend)
ROAS is a key metric that tells you how much money you’re making for every dollar you spend on ads. For example, if you spend $25 on ads and earn $130 in revenue, your ROAS is 5.2 (or $5.20 earned for every $1 spent).
The average ROAS varies by niche, but a common benchmark is 3:1. However, depending on your profit margins, you may need a higher ROAS to stay profitable. That’s why it’s essential to calculate this metric and monitor your ad performance closely.
Tips for Running Successful Etsy Ads
If you’re ready to give Etsy ads a try, here are my top tips:
-
Test All Listings Initially: Start by advertising all your listings and then turn off ads for the ones that don’t perform well.
-
Avoid Frequent Changes: Don’t constantly tweak your budget or turn ads on and off—it confuses the algorithm.
-
Monitor Your ROAS: Use Etsy’s dashboard to track your return on ad spend and identify low-performing ads.
-
Focus on Profit Margins: Ensure your products have enough margin to absorb fees and still make a profit.
Final Thoughts
Ads can be a powerful tool for growing your Etsy shop, but only if you use them wisely. By understanding the differences between Etsy ads and offsite ads, gradually increasing your budget, and focusing on optimized listings, you can make your ad spend work harder for you.
If you want to dive deeper into this topic, I’ve created a free cheat sheet to help you manage your Etsy ads like a pro. Just leave a comment on the podcast episode, and I’ll send it your way!
Running ads doesn’t have to be stressful or expensive. With the right strategy, you can attract more customers, boost your sales, and grow your Etsy business sustainably. Let’s do this!

Boost Your Etsy Traffic and Sales with My Four-Step Trend Strategy
In today’s post, I’m excited to share a powerful four-step trend strategy that can increase traffic and boost sales for your Etsy business. Trends play a huge role in bringing fresh eyes to your shop and creating more sales opportunities. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to build on your current success, this strategy will help you use trends to grow your shop without overwhelming it. Let’s dive into the main points of how trends can elevate your Etsy shop.
Why Trends Matter for Etsy Success
Trends are crucial for Etsy sellers because they’re popular, high-traffic items. Incorporating the right trends into your shop not only adds more visibility but also increases your chances of making more sales. I’ve helped other Etsy sellers grow their revenue by up to 20-30% just by using a targeted trend strategy, and I’m here to share how you can do the same.
One of the easiest ways to get started with trends is by joining a community of other sellers. If you’re looking for support, I’d recommend joining my Etsy Games Community, where we share trend tips, motivation, and support. You can find the link below – it’s a super fun space for sellers like you!
A Caution About Trends: Why They Shouldn’t Be Your Whole Strategy
Before I dive into the trend strategy, I want to emphasize a key point: trends shouldn’t be your entire business model. While trends bring quick boosts in sales, relying solely on them can create challenges. Etsy’s algorithm favors shops that have a cohesive product selection aimed at a specific audience. If you only sell trendy items, your shop can start to look chaotic, and it may become difficult for the algorithm to understand your target audience.
Using trends alone can also create a lot of stress, as you’re constantly searching for the “next big thing.” I’ve seen this lead to burnout among sellers. So, while trends can give you a great boost, it’s important to balance them with a core selection of products aimed at your primary audience.
Step 1: Define Your Target Audience and Niche
The first step is defining a specific target audience and niche. A strong foundation focused on your ideal customers will guide your shop’s overall look and help create a steady stream of sales. A steady demand for your core products is essential, while trends should act as a boost to your main product line.
If your products have a natural demand, you can count on consistent sales. Then, by strategically adding trendy items that complement your shop’s main focus, you’ll get an extra sales boost throughout the year. Having a clearly defined audience and niche means each trend you incorporate will add value rather than clutter to your shop.
Step 2: Finding Trends for Your Etsy Business
Now that you’ve established a target audience, the next step is finding trends that work for your shop. Etsy offers some fantastic tools, like Alura and eRank, which can help you spot trending keywords and topics. These tools pull data from Etsy’s API, so you’ll be able to identify popular items and emerging trends that other sellers are tapping into.
Outside of Etsy-specific tools, Google Trends and Exploding Topics are also great for broader trend research. These resources give you a wider view of trends that are gaining popularity across the internet, which can help you stay ahead of the curve. Remember, the goal is to find trends that align with your shop’s theme and appeal to your target audience.
Step 3: Types of Trends to Focus On
When it comes to adding trends to your shop, not all trends are created equal. Here are three types to consider:
• Seasonal Trends: Seasonal items—such as products for fall, spring, or specific events like weddings—can give your shop a steady boost throughout the year. These trends are reliable and return annually, so you’ll be able to plan for them consistently.
• Holiday Trends: Holidays like Christmas, Halloween, and Mother’s Day are excellent times to introduce new items or update existing products with holiday-focused keywords. Since holiday trends occur every year, they’re a sustainable way to increase sales regularly.
• Pop Culture Trends: While these trends can bring quick bursts of traffic, they’re often short-lived. Pop culture trends are more “fly-by-night” and may not stick around for long, so use these sparingly and be sure they align with your shop’s focus.
Using a mix of seasonal and holiday trends provides stability, while pop culture trends can be fun but should be used carefully to avoid confusing your audience.
Step 4: Incorporate Trends in Your Products
The last step is incorporating these trends into your product offerings. You can approach this in two ways:
-
Create New Trend-Based Products: For example, if you don’t have any holiday-themed products, consider adding a few items specifically for Christmas or Valentine’s Day. These items can be reused each year, adding seasonal variety to your shop without cluttering it.
-
Retarget Existing Products for Trend Relevance: Take your existing products and make them relevant to an upcoming trend. For instance, if you sell wallets, you could promote them as Father’s Day gifts by updating your keywords and product descriptions to match what buyers are searching for around that holiday. This approach allows you to capitalize on trends without overhauling your shop.
These methods give you the flexibility to keep your shop cohesive and maximize trends that make sense for your business.
Final Thoughts
Adding trends to your Etsy shop can be a game-changer, helping you drive traffic and boost sales. But remember, balance is key.

Boost Your Etsy Sales This Holiday Season with These Powerful Marketing Strategies
The end of the year is coming up fast, and I know everyone is looking to make the most of holiday traffic on Etsy. Today, I’m sharing my holiday marketing plan and strategies that’ll help your shop stand out, drive traffic, and capture more sales as we close out the year. Let’s dive in!
Standing Out on Etsy During the Holiday Season
Etsy is packed with sellers, especially during the holidays, and it can feel like you’re one small fish in a big sea. So, how do you make your shop stand out? I like to think of it as becoming the “fish with stripes”—the one that catches everyone’s attention and keeps them coming back for more. Here’s how you can grab more of that holiday traffic and turn it into sales.
Leveraging Etsy’s Built-In Urgency Features
One of Etsy’s biggest advantages is its built-in urgency and scarcity badges. These are features Etsy adds automatically, and they’re super effective at prompting customers to buy. Here’s a breakdown of what you can use:
• Limited Quantities: When your listing is low in stock, Etsy will display “only X left” on your product page, creating urgency.
• Sale Prices: If you’re running a sale, Etsy displays the original price with a strikethrough alongside the discounted price. This visual cue pushes buyers to act fast.
• Bestseller Badge: If your item hits a certain sales threshold, Etsy may label it a “Bestseller,” giving it credibility and building trust with new customers.
• In-Cart Notifications: Etsy shows potential buyers how many people have an item in their cart, which leverages social proof and makes them think, “If others want it, maybe I should get it too!”
Timing Your Promotions for Maximum Impact
The best time to start implementing your holiday strategy is early December when traffic to Etsy starts ramping up. Run promotions through the month and even consider keeping them active after Christmas. I’ve noticed that some shoppers will buy after the holidays because they couldn’t complete their shopping in time. By targeting these last-minute buyers, you can catch extra sales after the peak season winds down.
Run Effective Holiday Sales
A holiday sale is a tried-and-true way to boost sales, but you want to make sure yours stands out from the crowd. Everyone is running discounts, so go bold if you can! Consider discounts of at least 20-25% if it works within your profit margins. Remember, a larger discount can help you sell more volume and might even make up for the price reduction.
Get Creative with BOGO Deals
If you’re looking to add a twist, try a BOGO (Buy One, Get One) offer. Depending on your profit margins, consider offers like “Buy 2, Get 1 Free” or even “Buy 4, Get 1 Free.” This setup works especially well if you’re offering lower-cost items and can be adjusted easily through Etsy’s marketing tab.
Promote your deals in your shop’s announcement section, in your listings, and on social media. For extra visibility, bulk edit your listings to feature the offer at the top.
Adding Holiday Value Adds
To stand out even more, think about value adds you can offer that your competitors aren’t. Here are a few holiday-specific ideas:
• Holiday Bonuses: Add a small bonus item to orders for the holiday season, like a free sample or a small accessory that complements your products.
• Christmas Bundles: Create limited-time bundles where buyers get extra items when purchasing certain products. Labeling these as “holiday bundles” makes them feel more special.
• Gift Wrapping: Etsy offers a gift-wrapping option that you can add to your listings for an additional fee. If you do this, show what the packaging looks like with a photo, so buyers know it’s worth it.
• Upgraded Packaging: During the holidays, most buyers are shopping for gifts, so make sure your packaging is gift-ready. Adding a festive touch to your packaging can make a huge difference and increase buyer satisfaction.
Offer Something Extra
Adding a little something extra to orders can go a long way. Depending on your niche, this could be a carrying case, a cleaning kit, a care guide, or anything that would enhance the product experience. Small touches like these make your products feel more valuable and encourage buyers to choose your shop over others.
Create a Clearance Section
One last tip to help clear out old inventory is to set up a clearance section in your shop. Mark items down by 40-50% or more, and you’ll see how fast they start moving. I’ve found this especially useful for returns, items I no longer want to stock, or just products I want to move out to make space for new ones. A clearance section doesn’t only attract bargain hunters but can also lead to full-price sales. Shoppers browsing your clearance items may check out your other products and add those to their cart, too.
Wrapping It All Up
Incorporate these strategies, and let’s end the year strong! Try out some of these ideas, and see what resonates best with your customers. These holiday tips are also helpful year-round, so keep testing and see what gives your shop that extra boost.

Etsy’s New Holiday Updates: How They Could Impact Your Shop This Season
As the holiday season approaches, Etsy is rolling out some big changes, and I’m here to break them down and help you prepare! In this episode, I dive into Etsy’s new holiday ad campaigns, added customer service agents, physical gift cards now available in stores, and the all-important USPS holiday shipping deadlines. These updates could significantly impact your shop, so let’s go over everything Etsy just announced—and I’ll share a few pro tips along the way to help you navigate the season smoothly.
Will Etsy’s New Changes Help or Hurt Sellers This Holiday Season?
One question on everyone’s mind: will these changes actually help us as sellers? I believe they’re steps in the right direction, but it’s important to understand how they may affect our shops. As an Etsy seller myself, I’m always looking for ways to drive traffic, boost sales, and create an efficient workflow, especially during the holiday rush.
New Holiday Ad Campaigns
Etsy announced they’re releasing a series of new holiday ad campaigns set to launch at the beginning of November. Expect to see these ads on TV and other mainstream platforms. The goal is to drive more traffic to the site, increase brand awareness, and attract new customers who might not be familiar with Etsy. From my perspective, any marketing Etsy does is a bonus for us sellers, bringing in more potential buyers. I’m excited to see what kind of impact these ads will have on holiday traffic to our shops!
Hundreds of New Customer Service Agents
Another big change is Etsy’s plan to add hundreds of customer service agents specifically for the holiday season. We know how important quick and effective support is, especially during high-traffic periods, but there are still questions about whether these agents will be available for both buyers and sellers. While Etsy has made strides, like offering chat support, there’s always room for improvement in response times and assistance for sellers.
This holiday season, we’ll see if these new agents make a difference. I think this move is a positive one, especially if it improves the buying experience and helps smooth out any issues that come up with orders and customer interactions.
Etsy Physical Gift Cards in Stores
One cool new feature Etsy is launching is physical gift cards in retail stores. You may have seen gift card kiosks in stores featuring cards for Walmart, Home Depot, and other major brands—now, Etsy will have its own gift cards on display! While it’s not clear yet which stores will carry these cards, this is a smart way to drive more traffic. New buyers will be introduced to the platform, allowing us to reach an even broader audience. Gift cards also make a great last-minute holiday gift, bringing more people to the site.
Important USPS Holiday Shipping Deadlines
Of course, we can’t forget about shipping deadlines! USPS has released its recommended deadlines for holiday deliveries, and knowing these dates is critical for Etsy sellers. Here’s a quick rundown:
• USPS Ground Advantage: December 18th (set your shop deadline a few days earlier)
• USPS Priority Mail: December 19th
• USPS Priority Mail Express: December 21st
I highly recommend setting your personal shop deadlines a couple of days before each official USPS cutoff. This extra buffer allows time to package and ship orders on schedule. In my shop, I usually post a notice about these deadlines in the announcement section and even in the product descriptions. This creates urgency for buyers to order early, ensuring their gifts arrive in time for the holidays.
My Final Tips for Holiday Success on Etsy
With all these changes in place, I suggest updating your shop’s announcement section, adding deadline reminders to your listings, and taking full advantage of Etsy’s ad campaigns to boost visibility. These new updates offer more opportunities to attract traffic and reach new customers, and with a little preparation, you can set your shop up for a successful holiday season.

How to Maximize Your Etsy Sales This Black Friday
In my recent podcast episode, I shared a detailed plan to help Etsy sellers make the most out of Black Friday. Here’s a breakdown of my top strategies to drive more traffic and boost your sales during this holiday shopping frenzy.
Understanding Your Profit Margin
To start, I emphasized the importance of understanding your profit margin. Knowing your margins will help you determine the maximum discount you can offer without taking a loss. I recommend using a tool like Aura’s profit margin calculator for Etsy, which takes the guesswork out of setting profitable sales.
Effective Discount Strategies
When it comes to setting up discounts, here are the main options I discussed:
• Percentage-Off Discounts: A straightforward discount across all items, like 10%, 20%, or 30% off.
• Dollar-Amount Discounts: Offer set dollar amounts off, such as $5 or $10, based on total purchases.
• Bulk Order Incentives: Encourage customers to buy more by offering discounts on orders of two or more items.
These discount options can all be set up easily within Etsy’s marketing tab.
Using BOGO and Free Shipping for More Sales
I also covered the value of BOGO (Buy One, Get One Free) promotions and free shipping incentives. These options can encourage larger orders, and Etsy even offers settings to apply these automatically for orders over a certain amount. For heavier items, free shipping can be a game-changer that attracts buyers who are put off by high shipping costs.
Creating Urgency and Scarcity
Two powerful tactics for any sales strategy are urgency and scarcity. Ensure that each promotion has a clear end date to drive urgency, and if possible, include limited quantities to add a scarcity factor. For example, mention that only the first 100 customers will receive a specific discount. These psychological triggers motivate customers to act fast, which is essential during a competitive shopping season.
Marketing Your Black Friday Sale Effectively
Marketing plays a crucial role in your Black Friday success. Here’s the approach I suggested:
• One Week Before: Start with a teaser about the sale to build excitement.
• Three Days Before: Send a follow-up with more specific details, including the terms of the discount and end date.
• One Day Before: Send a final reminder that the sale is about to start, reinforcing the urgency.
• Day of the Sale: Send an early morning announcement, reminding customers that the sale is live.
• Three Hours and One Hour Before Ending: Remind customers the sale is almost over to maximize last-minute conversions.
If you’re extending the sale through Cyber Monday, continue promoting through the weekend to keep momentum.
Pro Tip: Day-After Reminder
One of my favorite tips is to send a day-after reminder. Many people may miss the sale due to distractions, so offering a “last-chance” reminder the next day can bring in additional sales from those who couldn’t shop on the sale day.

Did Etsy Kill October Traffic? A Deep Dive into the Podcast Episode
Hey there! In my latest podcast episode, I tackled the big question: Did Etsy kill October traffic? There’s been a lot of buzz about this lately, and it’s easy to get caught up in the fearmongering. In this blog post, I’ll break down what I discussed in the episode, covering everything from Etsy’s algorithm changes to unexpected events that impacted sales. Let’s dive in!
Etsy Traffic Concerns: October Drop in Traffic
Right off the bat, I addressed the main concern: traffic was noticeably down for a lot of Etsy sellers this October. If you’re an Etsy seller, you probably noticed the dip, and I get it—it’s frustrating. But it wasn’t just Etsy sellers who were affected. Many sellers on platforms like eBay, Poshmark, and Mercari reported similar trends.
Overview of October Traffic Decline Across Platforms
It’s easy to blame Etsy alone, but a broader look at the market shows a trend across different platforms. So, what’s going on? The spotlight fell on Etsy because of a recent update that made changes to their SEO algorithm. Naturally, when sales slow down, it’s human nature to look for a cause—and Etsy’s update became the focus.
Impact of Etsy’s Algorithm Change
Etsy rolled out an SEO update in October, placing more emphasis on shipping and offering incentives for lower-cost shipping. The update aimed to make search results more relevant and to prioritize listings with better shipping options. But whenever there’s a change to the algorithm, some shops get hit harder than others. And that’s what sparked a wave of “Etsy killed my traffic” claims.
Etsy’s Goal: Increasing Purchases Through Algorithm Adjustments
I want to set the record straight. Etsy’s not out to kill anyone’s traffic. The goal of any algorithm tweak is to get more buyers to make purchases. Etsy’s changes are about aligning search results with what buyers are most likely to purchase. It’s not about sinking shops; it’s about improving the shopping experience for buyers.
Effective SEO Tactics for Etsy and Beyond
So, what should you do when Etsy’s algorithm shifts? Don’t try to hack the system. Instead, focus on tried-and-true SEO strategies that work not just for Etsy, but for platforms like Google too. Long-term success comes from using solid SEO tactics—like smart keyword usage and well-structured listings—not from trying to game the system.
Importance of Structured Listings and Keywords
The secret sauce to succeeding on Etsy, even during traffic dips, lies in data. I talked about how crucial it is to structure your listings with strong keywords. Give the algorithm what it needs: clear, concise, and relevant data. That’s how you make sure your products get seen, no matter what changes are happening behind the scenes.
October’s Natural Disasters Impacting Sales
One thing that’s not being talked about enough is the role that October’s natural disasters played. We had two major hurricanes that impacted a significant portion of the East Coast, where a large percentage of the U.S. population resides. These hurricanes certainly took a toll on online shopping. It’s hard to think about buying on Etsy when your home is dealing with flooding or wind damage, right?
Influence of External Factors on Online Sales
Disasters, global events, and local crises all impact online sales. It’s easy to overlook these things when you’re analyzing your Etsy shop’s numbers, but external factors can make a big difference. So, before blaming the algorithm entirely, consider what else might be happening in the world.
How to Handle Fluctuating Sales Trends
Fluctuations in traffic are a natural part of online selling. If you’ve been in the game for a while, you know sales ebb and flow. The key is knowing how to ride those waves and not getting discouraged when things slow down. My advice? Focus on what you can control—your business, your listings, and your strategy.
Focus on Business Improvement During Low Traffic Periods
In the podcast, I shared tips on how to use these slow periods to your advantage. Dive deeper into your business and find areas for improvement. Are there ways you can tweak your listings? Is there a new product you can introduce? Use low-traffic times to strategize, so you’re ready to bounce back when sales pick up again.
Successful Sellers: Focusing on Actionable Strategies
I’ve noticed that the most successful Etsy sellers aren’t spending their time complaining about changes in traffic. They’re busy working on their business. Complaining doesn’t bring in sales—action does. So, stay focused on finding solutions, not on blaming the algorithm.
Dealing with Algorithm Changes: A Productive Mindset
It’s okay to be aware of changes, but don’t approach them from a mindset of trying to “hack” the system. Instead, see them as opportunities. Knowledge is power, and understanding how updates affect your shop can give you a competitive edge. Use that knowledge to become a better seller and optimize your listings accordingly.
Adaptability: Navigating Constant Changes in Online Selling
Selling online is all about change. I shared an analogy from “Friends” where they’re moving a couch up the stairs, yelling “Pivot!” You have to be willing to pivot when things shift in the online selling world. Stay adaptable and keep your eye on the bigger picture.
Final Thoughts: Controlling What You Can
In the end, I don’t think Etsy “killed” traffic. October’s dip was likely a mix of algorithm updates and uncontrollable external factors. My advice is to have a thick skin and focus on what you can control—your shop, your listings, and your approach.
I’d love to hear your thoughts on this topic, so be sure to check out the podcast episode if you haven’t already! And don’t forget to join the Etsy Games for a fun, supportive way to grow your business within a community of like-minded sellers.
Thanks for reading, and I hope this gives you a clearer view of what’s really going on with Etsy traffic and how to navigate it!

How to Grow Your Etsy Business Using the Rule of 200
If you’re an Etsy seller struggling to grow your business, you’re not alone. Many Etsy sellers feel like they’re spinning their wheels, wasting time on unproductive tasks, and not seeing the traffic or sales they want. In my latest podcast episode, I dive deep into a strategy I call the “Rule of 200”—a daily framework that will help you focus your time, grow your shop, and drive more sales.
This strategy isn’t easy, but most things worth achieving aren’t. By implementing the Rule of 200 consistently, you’ll have a clear path to reaching your Etsy goals faster. Let me walk you through it.
The Problem: Wasting Time on Unproductive Tasks
One of the biggest issues Etsy sellers face is spending time on things that don’t really move their business forward. Whether it’s obsessing over small details or getting caught up in the wrong areas, many sellers fail to focus on what truly matters: getting more listings up, optimizing old ones, and promoting your shop. Time is precious, and the Rule of 200 will help you organize your efforts strategically.
What Is the Rule of 200?
The Rule of 200 is simple: you’re going to dedicate 200 minutes a day to specific activities that will help grow your Etsy shop. If that sounds like a lot, don’t worry—I break it down into manageable chunks, and you can always scale it to fit your schedule. The key is consistency.
The rule is divided into two parts: 100 minutes on new listings and 100 minutes on old listings and marketing.
Part One: Spending 100 Minutes on New Listings
To grow your Etsy shop, you need to keep adding new listings. This isn’t just about throwing up random products; it’s about being strategic. Here’s how I recommend breaking down these 100 minutes.
Step One: 20 Minutes on Product Research
The first 20 minutes should be spent researching new products to list. Use tools like Alura, eRank, or even Google Trends to identify what’s selling well in your niche. Don’t just rely on intuition—do the research to make informed decisions. Look for trending keywords, analyze competitors, and find gaps in the market you can fill.
Step Two: 20 Minutes Reviewing Shop Listing Stats
Next, spend 20 minutes reviewing your shop stats. Which listings are bringing in traffic? What’s making sales? Your stats give you valuable insights into what’s working and what isn’t. If certain keywords or products are driving traffic, lean into that by creating similar listings.
Step Three: 60 Minutes Creating New Listings
The bulk of your time should be spent on actually creating those new listings. This includes writing descriptions, adding keywords, and taking high-quality photos. Don’t rush this part! You’ve already put in the research—now make sure your listings reflect that work by giving them the best chance to succeed.
Part Two: Spending 100 Minutes on Old Listings and Marketing
The second half of the Rule of 200 focuses on improving existing listings and marketing your shop.
Step One: 40 Minutes Improving Old Listings
Go through your old listings and see what’s underperforming. Start by sorting your listings by lowest traffic or sales. Are the photos clear? Are the keywords optimized? Sometimes, just updating the SEO or adding better images can make a world of difference.
Step Two: 60 Minutes on Marketing and Promotion
Marketing is essential if you want to scale your Etsy shop. Spend 60 minutes each day on promotion, whether that’s running sales, using social media, or starting an email marketing campaign. You don’t have to do everything at once—focus on one platform to start, like Instagram or Pinterest, and build from there.
The Importance of Consistency
The Rule of 200 only works if you’re consistent. I get it—200 minutes a day sounds like a lot. But if you can’t commit to that, start smaller. Cut it in half with the Rule of 100 or even 50 minutes a day. The important thing is to be strategic and to work on your business every single day.
Overcoming the “I Can’t Do This” Mindset
It’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking you don’t have enough time, but that’s the very mindset that holds many sellers back. You may not be able to dedicate 200 minutes right away, but start where you can and scale from there. Even a little bit of effort each day will get you closer to your goals than doing nothing at all.
Final Thoughts: Stay Strategic and Reach Your Etsy Goals Faster
Growing an Etsy business isn’t easy, but with the right framework, it’s 100% possible. The Rule of 200 is designed to help you focus your time on the tasks that matter most—adding new listings, improving old ones, and marketing effectively. Start implementing this strategy today, and you’ll see the difference it can make in your traffic and sales.

How to Sell More on Etsy with a 4D Listing Strategy
If you’re an Etsy seller, you’ve probably wondered how do I sell more on Etsy? It’s one of the most common questions I hear, and there’s no one-size-fits-all answer. But in this post, I want to dive deep into a strategy that helped me generate over half a million dollars on Etsy and continues to drive success across multiple shops. This strategy isn’t just about tweaking keywords or perfecting your listings – it’s about viewing your listings in a whole new way. I call it the four-dimensional (4D) approach to selling on Etsy, and today, I’m going to show you how to implement it in your own shop to get more traffic and sales.
My Journey: From 2D Listings to 4D Success
When I first started on Etsy, I looked at my listings in a very two-dimensional way. I would post a listing, add my pictures and keywords, publish it, and move on to the next one. Sound familiar? This one-and-done approach didn’t allow me to see the full potential of my listings. I realized I was missing out on so many opportunities to reach different audiences and maximize my sales.
That’s when I started thinking about my listings as four-dimensional. Instead of viewing them as static, one-off products, I began to see them as multi-faceted opportunities. This mindset shift changed everything for my business, and I’m going to share how you can apply it to yours.
The 4D Strategy in Action
Let’s break down what I mean by this 4D approach with a real example. Say you’re selling a workout log printable. Most sellers would create the listing, optimize the keywords (like “workout log,” “exercise tracker,” or “fitness planner”), and leave it at that. But here’s where the 4D strategy comes in: instead of stopping there, you can expand that single listing to appeal to multiple audiences, niches, and needs.
Expanding Your Audience with Keywords
Here’s how I started looking at my products from different angles:
-
Target Different Groups – Instead of just a generic workout log, you can create variations for different groups. For example, a new mom workout log, a pregnancy workout log, or a postpartum workout log. This lets you tap into specific groups of buyers and make your product more relevant to them.
-
Tailor to Specific Training Programs – You can market your workout log to people following specific fitness plans, like a 5K training log, a marathon workout log, or a triathlon training log. This turns one product into several niche offerings.
-
Appeal to Age Groups – Don’t forget about age demographics! You could create a version for seniors, teens, or fitness beginners. Each group has different needs, and by targeting them, you widen your potential customer base.
-
Goal-Oriented Listings – Everyone has different fitness goals, so why not create versions of your workout log for those goals? Try offering a weight loss workout log, a get shredded workout log, or a couch-to-5K log. This makes your product more appealing to people with specific goals in mind.
Rebranding for Different Audiences
The beauty of this 4D approach is that you don’t need to create a brand-new product each time. You can rebrand your existing product to fit different audiences. For example, the workout log template stays the same, but you can change the title, keywords, and branding to match the new audience. Think of it like rebranding a car – whether it’s labeled a Hyundai, Acura, or Ford, it still gets you from point A to point B. Your workout log is the same, but the branding makes it relevant to different buyers.
Why This Strategy Works
By using this four-dimensional approach to your listings, you’re doing more than just adding a few new products. You’re creating a wider range of listings that appeal to more people. Here are some key benefits of thinking 4D:
• More Listings, More Traffic: Each new variation of your listing gives you more chances to be found by customers. More listings = more opportunities for sales.
• Increased Data: By creating more listings, you gather more data about what works and what doesn’t. You can adjust your strategy based on real performance.
• Diverse Shop: As you expand your listings in this way, your shop becomes more diverse and appealing to a broader range of customers.
Conclusion: Start Implementing 4D Thinking Today
If you’re ready to grow your Etsy shop, start by rethinking how you view your listings. Look at your products in a four-dimensional way, and you’ll begin to see opportunities you never noticed before. By targeting different groups, training programs, age demographics, and goals, you can turn one listing into multiple revenue-generating opportunities.

Etsy sellers often face challenges in scaling their businesses, primarily due to a lack of understanding of their roadblocks. This article aims to illuminate common pitfalls and provide actionable strategies to enhance sales and traffic on Etsy.
Key Takeaways * Identify and address roadblocks in your Etsy business. * Focus on conversion rates rather than just increasing traffic. * Improve listing quality to justify pricing and attract buyers. * Utilize marketing tactics like urgency and scarcity to boost sales.
Understanding Roadblocks in Your Etsy Business One of the biggest reasons Etsy sellers struggle is their inability to pinpoint roadblocks in their business. When you don’t know where the issues lie, you end up spending time on activities that don’t contribute to growth. This can lead to frustration and, ultimately, quitting.
To avoid this, it’s crucial to analyze your business intuitively and focus on the right areas. Think of your business like a clogged drain; if you don’t identify the clog, the overflow will only worsen. Once you remove the blockage, you’ll see improvements in traffic and sales.
Analyzing Your Etsy Stats Let’s dive into some practical examples using Etsy stats. Suppose you have:
- 586 visits (unique visitors)
- 6 orders
- This results in a 1% conversion rate (6 orders / 586 visits).
A 1% conversion rate is average, but where should you focus your efforts? Should you aim to increase traffic or improve conversion rates?
Focusing on Conversion Rates If you increase visits to 1,000 but still have 6 orders, your conversion rate drops to 0.6%. Conversely, if you keep visits at 586 and increase orders to 10, your conversion rate rises to 1.7%. This indicates that improving conversion rates is often a more effective strategy than merely increasing traffic.
Improving Listing Quality To boost your conversion rates, start with listing quality. Here are some factors to consider:
- Images: Ensure your photos are clear and showcase the product effectively.
- Value Justification: Clearly explain why your product is worth the price. Avoid simply lowering prices; instead, highlight unique features and benefits.
- Descriptions: Provide detailed descriptions that answer potential buyer questions and eliminate confusion.
- Shipping Times: Offer reasonable shipping times to encourage purchases.
Marketing Tactics to Enhance Sales In addition to improving listings, consider implementing marketing tactics:
- Coupon Codes: Offer discounts to customers who add items to their cart but don’t complete the purchase.
- Scarcity and Urgency: Create a sense of urgency by highlighting limited quantities or time-sensitive sales.
Evaluating Individual Listings Let’s say you analyze a specific listing:
- 5 visits and 1 sale results in a 20% conversion rate. While this is impressive, the bottleneck is still the traffic. Focus on increasing visits to this listing rather than tweaking it further.
The Importance of Listing Quantity If you have 10 listings and 50 visits with 0 sales, the issue may not be conversion or traffic but rather the number of listings. With too few listings, you lack sufficient data to make informed decisions.
To improve your chances of success:
- Increase Your Listings: More listings mean more opportunities for traffic and sales.
- Optimize Each Listing: Ensure each listing is fully optimized with relevant keywords and tags.
Conclusion In summary, the key to transforming your Etsy sales from $0 to $100,000 lies in identifying and addressing your business's roadblocks. Focus on improving conversion rates through high-quality listings and effective marketing strategies. Remember, your time is valuable; prioritize actions that will yield the most significant impact on your business. By doing so, you’ll set yourself up for long-term success in the Etsy marketplace.

Marketing your Etsy shop can seem overwhelming, but with the right strategies, you can drive traffic and boost sales in just a few minutes a day. This guide breaks down effective marketing techniques that anyone can implement, regardless of experience level.
Key Takeaways * Leverage both Etsy and external marketing for maximum traffic. * Utilize video content across various platforms to engage your audience. * Start an email list to build a loyal customer base. * Repurpose content to save time and increase reach. * Be consistent in your marketing efforts for sustained growth.
Understanding Marketing for Your Etsy Shop Marketing is essential for driving traffic to your Etsy shop. More traffic means a higher potential for sales. You can either let Etsy find traffic for you or take a proactive approach by utilizing external marketing strategies. Combining both methods can significantly enhance your shop's visibility.
The Power of Video Marketing Video marketing is a powerful tool for Etsy sellers. There are two main types of video content:
- Long-form videos (over a couple of minutes)
- Short-form videos (under 3 minutes)
Platforms for Video Marketing * Social Media: Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and Pinterest are excellent platforms for sharing both long and short videos. You can cross-post content between Facebook and Instagram to maximize reach. * YouTube: This platform is unique as it serves as both a social media site and a search engine. You can create long-form content and also utilize YouTube Shorts for quick engagement.
Exploring Audio Content While audio content, like podcasts, may not directly sell products, it can be a valuable tool for building brand awareness. Consider discussing topics related to your niche and linking back to your Etsy shop in the show notes.
The Importance of Written Content Written content, including blogs, is still a powerful way to attract customers. Here’s how to leverage it:
- Blogging: Create blog posts that include keywords related to your products. This can help improve your SEO and drive traffic to your shop.
- Social Media Posts: Use platforms like Instagram and Facebook to share written content and images that engage your audience.
- Email Marketing: Build an email list to keep your customers informed about new products and promotions. Offering discounts or free guides can incentivize sign-ups.
Affiliate and Influencer Marketing Partnering with influencers can help you reach a broader audience. However, it’s crucial to choose influencers whose niche aligns closely with your products. Here are some tips:
- Research Influencers: Look for micro-influencers who have a dedicated following in your niche.
- Evaluate Past Collaborations: Ask for references to ensure they have successfully promoted similar products before.
Keys to Success To wrap up, here are some essential tips for effective marketing:
- Be Consistent: Regularly post content to keep your audience engaged.
- Offer Value: Don’t just promote products; provide useful information and engage with your audience.
- Repurpose Content: Use the same content across different platforms to save time.
- Start Small: Focus on one or two marketing strategies before expanding.
Conclusion Marketing your Etsy shop doesn’t have to be daunting. By leveraging video, written content, and email marketing, you can create a robust marketing strategy that drives traffic and increases sales. Remember to stay consistent and offer value to your audience, and you’ll see growth in no time!

In the competitive world of Etsy, many sellers struggle to move their businesses forward due to a lack of focus and organization. This article outlines a straightforward plan to help you streamline your efforts and significantly increase your sales.
Key Takeaways
• Focus on three main areas: traffic, price, and conversion.
• Organize your daily tasks to align with these focus areas.
• Implement strategic actions to drive growth and efficiency.
The Importance of Focus
Most Etsy sellers find themselves overwhelmed, often because they lack a clear focus. Focus is essential for success. Without it, you may end up wasting time on tasks that don’t contribute to your business growth.
When I transitioned from the corporate world to running my Etsy shop full-time, I quickly realized that the freedom I gained came with its own set of challenges. Unlike in a corporate setting where your schedule is dictated by others, as an entrepreneur, you must create your own structure. This can be daunting, but it’s crucial for moving your business forward.
The Three Buckets of Business
To effectively channel your focus, consider organizing your efforts into three key areas:
• Traffic
• Price
• Conversion
By concentrating on these three areas, you can streamline your efforts and avoid getting sidetracked by less impactful tasks.
Organizing for Success
Once you have a clear focus, the next step is organization. Here’s how to effectively organize your daily tasks:
• Plan Ahead: At the end of each day, create a checklist for the next day. Keep it manageable to avoid feeling overwhelmed.
• Prioritize Tasks: Identify which tasks align with your three focus areas. For example:
• Monday: Fulfill orders, post on social media, and optimize listings for SEO.
• Tuesday: Create a new listing, redo an old listing, and engage with customers.
By breaking down your tasks into bite-sized chunks, you can make steady progress without feeling overwhelmed.
Consistency is Key
The combination of strategic focus and organization will greatly improve your business. Consistency in applying these principles will lead to growth and help you reach your goals.
Conclusion
To succeed on Etsy, you need to focus on traffic, price, and conversion while organizing your daily tasks to align with these areas. By implementing this simple system, you can make significant strides in your Etsy business, ultimately leading to increased sales and reduced stress.

In the competitive world of Etsy, understanding how to effectively use variations in your listings can significantly enhance your traffic and sales. This article delves into strategic approaches to optimize your Etsy shop by leveraging variations, ensuring you stand out in a crowded marketplace.
Key Takeaways * Utilize Variations Wisely: Break down your listings to highlight different variations. * Increase Listings: More listings mean more keywords and better SEO. * Targeted Keywords: Focus on specific keywords for each variation to improve visibility. * Visual Appeal: Use distinct images for each variation to attract different customers.
Understanding Variations Many Etsy sellers view variations as a single entity, often limiting their potential. However, variations can be a powerful tool when used strategically. Instead of treating them as isolated options, consider how they can work together to enhance your shop's visibility and sales.
The Power of Multiple Listings Instead of having one listing with multiple variations, consider creating separate listings for each variation. For example, if you sell necklaces in gold, silver, and bronze, instead of one listing that includes all three, create three distinct listings:
- Gold Pendant Necklace
- Silver Pendant Necklace
- Bronze Pendant Necklace
This approach allows you to:
- Target Specific Keywords: Each listing can focus on its respective color, allowing for more precise keyword targeting.
- Increase Visibility: More listings mean more opportunities for customers to find your products.
Optimizing Keywords When creating multiple listings, it's essential to optimize your keywords effectively. Each listing should have a unique title, description, and tags that highlight the specific variation. For instance:
- Gold Pendant Necklace: Use keywords like "gold necklace," "women's gold accessory," etc.
- Silver Pendant Necklace: Focus on keywords like "silver necklace," "silver jewelry for women," etc.
- Bronze Pendant Necklace: Highlight keywords such as "bronze necklace," "unique bronze jewelry," etc.
This targeted approach ensures that your listings are not seen as duplicates by Etsy's algorithm, which can help improve your search rankings.
Visual Appeal Matters In addition to keywords, the images you use for each listing play a crucial role in attracting customers. Ensure that each listing features a distinct image that corresponds to the variation being highlighted. For example:
- Gold Necklace: Use a bright, eye-catching image of the gold pendant.
- Silver Necklace: Showcase the silver pendant in a different setting or background.
- Bronze Necklace: Highlight the bronze pendant with a unique visual that stands out.
Strategic Listing Management When managing your listings, think about how to group your variations logically. If you have multiple designs or styles, consider how they relate to one another. For example, if you sell tumblers with different designs (cow, baby, flower), it may be beneficial to create separate listings for each design rather than lumping them all together. This way, the algorithm can better match your listings with potential buyers looking for specific items.
Conclusion Leveraging variations in your Etsy listings is a powerful strategy to boost traffic and sales. By breaking down your listings into multiple, targeted entries, you can enhance your shop's visibility, improve your SEO, and ultimately increase your sales. Remember, the goal is to make it easy for customers to find exactly what they want while maximizing your shop's potential. Implement these strategies today and watch your Etsy shop thrive!

In the evolving landscape of digital art, many creators are exploring the use of AI tools to generate unique pieces for sale on platforms like Etsy. This article delves into Etsy's policies regarding AI-generated art, ensuring that artists can navigate the rules effectively while maximizing their creative potential.
Key Takeaways * You can use AI to generate art for sale on Etsy, but disclosure is required. * Selling AI prompt bundles is prohibited. * Sensitive content, including nudity, is not allowed.
Understanding Etsy's Stance on AI Art Etsy has embraced the rise of AI-generated art, allowing sellers to utilize these tools to create and sell their work. However, there are specific guidelines that must be followed to ensure compliance with Etsy's policies. The primary question many artists have is: Can I use AI to generate art and sell it on Etsy? The answer is yes, but with certain conditions.
The Role of Prompts in AI Art Creation When using AI tools, the prompts you provide are crucial. Think of them as your brush strokes; the more detailed and specific your prompts, the better the resulting artwork will be. Here are some tips for crafting effective prompts:
- Be Specific: Clearly describe what you want the AI to create.
- Use Descriptive Language: Incorporate adjectives and details to guide the AI.
- Experiment: Don’t hesitate to try different prompts to see how the AI responds.
Disclosure is Key While you can sell AI-generated art, it’s essential to disclose this information in your product descriptions. Transparency is vital to maintain trust with your customers and to comply with Etsy's policies. Make sure to include a note indicating that the artwork was created using AI tools.
Allowed Uses of AI in Art There are two primary scenarios where AI can be effectively utilized:
- Enhancing Existing Art: If you have a piece of art that you want to modify or improve, AI can help you expand or alter it.
- Creating New Art: You can generate entirely new pieces by providing specific prompts to the AI.
What You Cannot Do with AI on Etsy While there are many opportunities for using AI in your art, there are also restrictions to be aware of:
- Selling AI Prompt Bundles: Etsy prohibits the sale of bundles containing AI prompts without the finished art piece. This is to ensure that each seller contributes their unique touch to the artwork.
- Creating Sensitive Content: Any AI-generated content that includes nudity or sexual themes must adhere to Etsy's prohibited item policy. This includes a strict ban on explicit content, regardless of whether it is AI-generated or not.
Conclusion As AI continues to shape the future of art, Etsy remains a platform where creativity can flourish, provided that artists adhere to its guidelines. By understanding what is allowed and what is not, you can confidently explore the potential of AI in your artistic endeavors. Remember to disclose your use of AI, avoid selling prompt bundles, and steer clear of sensitive content to keep your shop in good standing. With these tips in mind, you can harness the power of AI while staying compliant with Etsy's policies.

Etsy sellers often find themselves confused by the intricacies of advertising on the platform. This guide aims to clarify the differences between Etsy Ads and Offsite Ads, providing essential tips to maximize your advertising budget and enhance your sales potential.
Key Takeaways * Understand the differences between Etsy Ads and Offsite Ads. * Control your budget and listings effectively. * Focus on organic sales before investing in ads. * Monitor your Return on Ad Spend (ROAS) to gauge success.
Understanding Etsy Ads Etsy Ads are designed to promote your listings within the Etsy platform. This means that your products will be advertised to users who are already browsing Etsy, increasing the chances of conversion. Here’s how it works:
- Control Over Listings: You can choose which listings to promote. It’s advisable to advertise all your listings initially, as you may be surprised by which items perform well.
- Budget Management: You set a daily budget, which Etsy caps based on your seller profile. This cap can increase over time as you gain more experience and sales.
- Daily Spending: Be prepared to spend your set budget daily, regardless of whether you make sales. If you set a budget of $50, you might spend close to that amount even if no items sell.
- Organic Sales Matter: If you’re not making organic sales, advertising may not help. Ensure your shop is optimized for organic traffic before investing in ads.
The Mechanics of Offsite Ads Offsite Ads differ significantly from Etsy Ads as they promote your listings outside of Etsy. Here’s what you need to know:
- Automatic Opt-In: If you earn more than $10,000 in a rolling 365-day period, you are automatically opted into Offsite Ads. If you earn less, you can choose to opt in or out.
- Limited Control: Unlike Etsy Ads, you cannot control which listings are promoted or set a specific budget. Etsy decides which listings to advertise based on performance.
- Fees: Offsite Ads can incur fees of up to 15% on sales, which is in addition to other Etsy fees. However, you only pay these fees if a sale is made, reducing your risk.
Return on Ad Spend (ROAS) Understanding your Return on Ad Spend is crucial for evaluating the effectiveness of your advertising efforts:
- Calculate ROAS: To determine your ROAS, divide the revenue generated from ads by the amount spent on advertising. For example, if you spent $25 on ads and earned $130 in sales, your ROAS would be 5.2.
- Industry Benchmark: The average ROAS in the industry is about 3. This means for every dollar spent, you should aim to earn $3 back.
- Monitor Performance: Keep an eye on your ROAS to ensure your advertising strategy is profitable. Adjust your approach based on performance metrics.
Best Practices for Advertising on Etsy To maximize your advertising success, consider the following strategies:
- Avoid Frequent Changes: Making frequent changes to your budget or listings can disrupt the algorithm. Set a budget and stick to it for at least 30 days before making adjustments.
- Test All Listings: Start by advertising all your listings. After 30 days, analyze which listings are performing well and consider turning off those that are not.
- Focus on Profit Margins: Ensure your products have a healthy profit margin (ideally 40-50%) to absorb advertising costs and still remain profitable.
- Evaluate Offsite Ads: If you have the option to opt into Offsite Ads, consider giving them a try. They often yield a better ROAS, but be mindful of the potential fees.
Conclusion Navigating Etsy Ads and Offsite Ads can be challenging, but understanding the differences and implementing strategic practices can significantly enhance your sales potential. Focus on optimizing your shop for organic sales, monitor your advertising performance, and adjust your strategies as needed to ensure profitability. With the right approach, you can make the most of your advertising budget and grow your Etsy business successfully.

Want to know how to create Etsy listings that sell? In this video, I share two powerful strategies to help you plan and create successful Etsy listings. Many sellers waste time by adding listings without a plan, resulting in poor performance. Avoid this mistake and fast-track your success with these tips!

Strategy 2: Research Before Listing

• Keyword Research: Use keyword tools to find high-volume search terms related to your products.
• Optimize Listings: Use these keywords in your product listings to boost visibility.
Implement these strategies to enhance your Etsy success. Remember, consistency and optimization are key!

Starting, building, and growing an Etsy shop can feel overwhelming. It’s easy to get lost in the big picture, especially when revenue goals seem out of reach. But what if I told you that breaking down these goals into manageable steps could make all the difference? Let’s dive into how you can average one sale a day or more on Etsy.
Think Small: Break Down Your Goals
When you set a big revenue goal, like $20,000 a year, it can seem insurmountable, especially when you’re starting from zero sales. But breaking it down into smaller, targeted chunks makes it more manageable:
• Monthly: 83 sales
• Weekly: 19 sales
• Daily: 3 sales
Now, aiming for three sales a day feels much more achievable. And if your average product price is $20, this breakdown puts you on the right track.
Pro Tip: Increase Your Revenue Per Customer
To make things even easier, try increasing your revenue per customer. This means you’ll need fewer sales to hit your target. But let’s focus on the core strategy for now.
Start Here: Focus on 1 Sale a Day
Before aiming for three sales a day, start by targeting one sale a day. Once you consistently hit this mark, you’ll find it easier to scale up. The key here is to shift your focus from the lag measure (the end result) to the lead measures (the actions that drive the result).
What Are Lag and Lead Measures?
• Lag Measures: The end results you want, such as averaging one sale a day.
• Lead Measures: The daily actions that lead to those results.
Many people focus on lag measures, like wanting to lose 20 pounds or save $50k, but just focusing on the end result won’t help you achieve it. Instead, you need to identify and consistently perform the actions that will lead to your desired outcome.
Get More Traffic
For Etsy sellers, one common answer is to get more traffic to your shop. Here’s how:
-
Open Your Wallet: Invest in paid ads.
-
Roll Up Your Sleeves: Put in more work with strategies like:
• Creating more listings
• Conducting better SEO research
• Improving your product photos
• Producing more content
• Enhancing your marketing efforts
• Providing superior customer service
Choose Your Lead Measures
Pick one or two of these lead measures to focus on daily. Track your actions and monitor your progress toward achieving more traffic and sales. After three months, evaluate your performance:
• Are you getting more traffic?
• Are you making more sales?
• Have you been consistent with your lead measures?
Stay the Course or Pivot
Based on your evaluation, decide whether to stay the course, pivot your strategy, or improve your consistency. The key is to rinse and repeat until you find what works best for you.
Conclusion
This journey is much like your actual Etsy business – it’s not simple, but it’s comprehensive. By breaking down your goals and focusing on actionable steps, you can achieve that one sale a day milestone and beyond. Remember, consistency is key.

Hey everyone, welcome back to the podcast! In today’s episode, we’re diving into Etsy’s recent announcement about retiring its old listing form. If you’re an Etsy seller, this update is crucial for you.
Etsy has decided to retire the old listing form that many of us have used to list items for sale. But don’t worry, they’ve assured us that we won’t miss any of our favorite features. The new and improved listing form is designed to be more streamlined and efficient, thanks to feedback from sellers like you.
Here are some of the key features of the new listing form:
• Scroll No More: Navigation tabs help you quickly jump to different sections of your listing details, making the process faster and more seamless.
• Optimize Smarter: The Performance tab displays performance data and reviews for your listings, making it easier to decide what types of edits to make.
• Get a Sneak Peek: The listing preview feature lets you double-check your edits before publishing them live.
• NEW! Skip the Mental Math: The profit calculator helps you efficiently estimate your profits while pricing your items.
However, some sellers have pointed out that a few features are missing in the new form. Etsy has listened to this feedback and made some adjustments. They announced that by June 25th, the following functionalities will be added to the new listing form:
• Add manual translations to your listings
• Enable your listings to appear on your Pattern site
• Edit private, custom listings in the new form
• See and edit all listing states (e.g., inactive or expired listings) in the new form
Tune in to this episode to get all the details about these changes and how they can help you save time and optimize your listings more effectively.

Hey everyone, in today’s episode, we’re diving into why your Etsy shop might not be performing as well as you’d like and what you can do about it.
Etsy has a whopping 7 million sellers and 92 million buyers. That’s a lot of competition, but also a huge pool of potential customers. Your goal is to attract and convert as many of those buyers to your shop as possible. Here’s how:
First, you need to offer something to a clearly defined niche with high demand. If you’re not targeting an in-demand niche, you’re setting yourself up for failure. No demand means no sales—plain and simple.
Next, let’s talk numbers. Even if you have amazing listings, SEO, and photos, you can still fail if you don’t offer enough products. You need to be a noticeable presence in the marketplace, not just a drop of sand on a beach.
For instance, let’s say you sell organic candles. There are about 120,000 listings for organic candles on Etsy. If you only have 20 listings, you’re a tiny fraction of the marketplace. To get noticed, you need more listings—lots more.
Each listing allows you to use around 37 keywords. With 20 listings, that’s 740 keywords. But against 120,000 competitors, that’s not much. The more listings you have, the more keywords you can use, increasing your chances of being found.
Consider aiming for 1,000 listings. If organic candles get about 3,600 searches a month, that’s 43,200 searches a year. With a 3% conversion rate, that’s roughly 1,200 purchases a month. If you represent 1% of the market, that’s about 12 sales a month for just one keyword.
It’s all about playing the numbers game. A clearly defined niche, high demand, quality listings, and a large number of listings all matter.
So, put in the work. Keep adding quality listings consistently, and increase your chances of success.

In this latest podcast episode, I’m thrilled to share the 13 pivotal steps that propelled my Etsy business to over $500,000 in sales. My primary aim is to streamline your path to success, helping you achieve your goals with greater speed and less frustration. Throughout the episode, I’ll take you on a deep dive into the inner workings of my Etsy shop, revealing exactly how I reached this significant milestone. Expect no fluff or filler—just straightforward, effective strategies that have worked for me and could very well work for you too. Join me as I lay out the blueprint that could help you replicate my success on Etsy.
Welcome to "My Etsy Listing Formula," where I share my step-by-step approach to creating successful Etsy listings.
First, I start with my idea of what I want to create. I jot down three variations of the idea in the form of keywords, which can be either specific or broad. For example, I might consider "woods lake painting," "mountain lake painting," or "field lake painting." A pro tip: if a keyword isn't performing well, I might need to alter the format or specific words to see better results. For instance, "field lake painting" might not do as well as "prairie lake painting," even though they're similar types of paintings.
Next, I do product demand research using Alura. I check how much search volume each keyword gets and, more importantly, how many overall sales there are. For instance, "woods lake painting" might have a search volume of 5,000 and sales of 15,000, while "mountain lake painting" has a search volume of 4,000 and sales of 10,000. I don't focus on finding keywords with low competition but high traffic and sales. Instead, I look for enough traffic to get my piece of the pie. It's like setting up a yard sale on a busy street versus a backroad – the busy street will always bring more success.
Based on this research, I pick the winner, which in this case is "woods lake painting."
Then, I create the product. Once the product is ready, I do additional keyword research to find high-value keywords to further enhance my listing. I look for similar keywords with a lot of traffic and sales. For example, "nature painting" might have 90,000 searches and 358,000 sales, or "rustic lake decor" might have 15,000 sales. I use a mix of highly specific and broad high-value keywords to target my audience and fill out the keywords in my listing.
I take all my researched keywords and add them to my title and tags. I do the title first, then copy them to my tags. Not all will fit, so I edit them to fit, breaking them up as needed. A pro tip: if I use commas between keywords, I can copy and paste them, and whatever fits will be input into the tags.
Next, I fill out the rest of my listing with the important information: pictures (including alt text), attributes, a keyword-rich description (AI can help here), and pricing (using Alura to research average prices).
Finally, I list the item and let it sit for 3-6 months before considering any changes. Then, I rinse and repeat for future listings.

In the latest episode of my podcast, I tackled a question many Etsy sellers ponder: "How do I niche down and list more when my niche seems too specific?" This is a great question because as I dive into the world of niches, the paths can seem limited, but they really aren't.
I started by unpacking why niching down is so powerful. It's about connecting directly and intimately with your target audience. Think about the difference between shouting in a packed stadium versus having a conversation in a quiet room. Niching effectively puts you in that quiet room with your ideal customer.
Many sellers start too broadly, trying to cater to everyone and thus, speaking directly to no one. For instance, selling "shirts" or "jewelry" without a focus is too vague. The trick is to home in on your interests and market demand. For example, I began by targeting men and women interested in CrossFit with my shirt designs, which allowed me to establish a foothold and expand from there.
But what happens when you feel you've niched down as far as you can go? That's where the fun begins! You can always:
- Expand Within Your Niche: For example, if you're doing funny shirts for moms, think about new sayings, designs, or even shirt types that cater to evolving trends and humor.
- Niche Down Further: Maybe start designing shirts that combine mom-related humor with specific hobbies like wine or coffee, or experiment with different styles of artwork or shirt cuts.
- Diversify Product Offerings: Why limit to shirts? Put those popular sayings on mugs, wine glasses, or keychains, considering what your target demographic would appreciate.
This episode not only addresses these strategies but also emphasizes the limitless potential in any niche when you think creatively and multidimensionally. Don't miss this episode if you're ready to explore new depths in your niche and broaden your product offerings!

Etsy is known for its continual evolution, always tweaking and testing to enhance the marketplace experience. Recently, they've begun experimenting with altering seller titles—a move that has sparked a mixed reaction within the community. In this podcast episode, we delve into the pros and cons of Etsy's latest strategy and discuss potential solutions for sellers.
Pros of Etsy Testing Titles:
- Improvement of Poor Listings: By adjusting less effective titles, Etsy aims to help these listings perform better, potentially increasing visibility and sales.
- Leveling the Playing Field: This change could standardize opportunities for success among sellers, making competition more about product quality rather than just optimization skills.
Cons of Etsy's Approach:
- Risk to Successful Listings: There's a concern that these changes could disrupt listings that are already performing well, possibly affecting established sales trajectories.
- Reduced Incentive for Learning: With Etsy handling title optimizations, sellers might become less inclined to learn SEO best practices, potentially stunting their growth and adaptability.
- Concerns Over Control: This move suggests a significant increase in control over individual shops, which could lead to frustrations among more experienced sellers.
A Constructive Suggestion: To address these issues, why not adopt a strategy similar to Facebook's ad system? Sellers could be given the option to test up to five different titles themselves, tracking which performs best over a designated period. This hands-on approach would allow sellers to stay engaged with SEO practices and better understand what works for their products.

In conclusion, while Etsy's title testing initiative aims to help sellers enhance their listings, it's crucial to find a balance that empowers sellers and maintains marketplace integrity. By potentially allowing sellers to conduct their own title tests, Etsy could foster a more knowledgeable and competitive community, aligned with both seller interests and platform goals.

In today's episode, I want to address a concern many Etsy shop owners face: the fear of failure. I'm here to remind you that you are not a failure.

In the vast, vibrant world of Etsy, it's not uncommon to stumble upon sellers voicing their frustrations. From message boards to forums, and even beneath the threads of my own videos, there's a palpable sense of discontent. But before you reach for the pitchforks, let's take a moment to rethink our approach to this platform we all care deeply about.
Embracing Change: A New Perspective Etsy's journey from an under-the-radar e-commerce platform to a top-tier marketplace with nearly 100 million buyers is nothing short of remarkable. However, with rapid growth comes inevitable growing pains. Today, I invite you to join me in shifting focus from what's wrong to exploring actionable solutions.
A Lesson from Corporate America My corporate background taught me the importance of constructive feedback. Complaints were only as valuable as the solutions they prompted. This philosophy underpins my approach to addressing Etsy's challenges. Let's dive into the issues and, more importantly, the solutions.
Solutions for Common Etsy Seller Challenges Refined Shop Opening Procedures The Issue: Unregulated shop openings leading to policy violations and scams. The Solution: Implement a rigorous application process, including a small fee and detailed business plans. This approach discourages scammers and ensures a commitment to quality.
Combating Infringements The Issue: The prevalence of trademarked, copyrighted, and mass-produced items. The Solution: Enhance AI detection methods and establish a clear procedure for sellers to prove licensing. A proactive stance on policing will protect genuine creators.
Revamping Support The Issue: Inaccessible support and final decisions without appeal. The Solution: Introduce a tiered support system, including phone support, to provide personalized assistance. New sellers receive additional guidance, while veterans enjoy VIP service.
Transparent Fee Structure The Issue: Confusion and frustration over fees. The Solution: Offer detailed onboarding and business training to explain fees clearly and help sellers understand their impact on profit margins.
Simplified Shipping The Issue: Complexity in setting up and managing shipping. The Solution: Improve onboarding with comprehensive shipping training and resources, making it easier for new sellers to start on the right foot.
Your Voice Matters While I've highlighted key areas for improvement, the conversation doesn't end here. I encourage you to share your experiences and solutions. Together, we can foster a more supportive, transparent, and thriving Etsy community.

Etsy's Monthly Fees: Panic or Progress? Let's Unpack the Buzz!
The word on the street (or should we say, the buzz in the craft room) is that monthly fees may be making their grand entrance to Etsy soon. And just like that, it feels like we're about to "unleash the hounds!" Now, let's be real - the mere mention of fee increases on Etsy can send sellers into a frenzy that rivals the chaos of a dropped stitch in a knitting project.
Remember the uproar when Etsy nudged their transaction fee up to 6.5%? It was as if the crafting world had been asked to sacrifice their beloved glue guns and yarn stashes. But, as a fellow Etsy seller and small business owner, I understand the gut reaction. The thought of parting with more of our hard-earned cash can sting.
The Whispers of Change: Monthly Fees on the Horizon? So, why the speculation about monthly fees? It seems Etsy has been sending out feelers through surveys to a slice of the seller community, stirring the pot of curiosity and concern.
Decoding the Details What we know is still shrouded in a bit of mystery. The speculation is that this could mirror eBay's store monthly fees system, offering an optional subscription that could unlock a treasure trove of perks, including listing fee discounts and more. As someone who has navigated the eBay waters, I can attest to the savings that these kinds of subscriptions can offer, particularly for those of us who are prolific listers or high-volume sellers.
The Possible Perks: A Silver Lining? The rumored benefits of this subscription model could include:
- Reduced listing fees
- Lower transaction fees
- Ad credits to boost your shop's visibility
- Access to exclusive discounts and perks
- Enhanced shop customization and promotional tools
Etsy Plus: A Prelude to Change? For those who might not be in the know, Etsy already dabbles in subscription services with Etsy Plus. For a modest $10 a month, sellers get ad credits, shop customization options, listing credits, and more. It's been a hot topic of discussion, with whispers of a revamp that could potentially be the shape of things to come.
Embracing the Change: A Call to Optimism Before we sharpen our pitchforks or start hoarding craft supplies in protest, let's take a moment. Change, while daunting, isn't inherently bad. Etsy Plus, for instance, offers tangible benefits that, for many, outweigh its cost. If Etsy is indeed planning to expand on this concept, it could mean even more value for sellers willing to invest a little in their shop's growth.
It's natural to bristle at change, especially when it hits our wallets. However, maintaining a positive, open-minded approach is crucial. After all, the only constant in business (and life) is change. By focusing on what we can control and adapting to the evolving landscape, we position ourselves for success, regardless of what new policies come our way.
So, fellow creators and entrepreneurs, let's watch this space with cautious optimism. Changes may be coming, but so are opportunities. And remember, no matter what Etsy throws our way, the creativity, resilience, and spirit of our community will see us through.
And hey, while we're navigating these changes, don't forget to arm yourself with knowledge. Dive into the world of Etsy SEO with my free guide, packed with tips and tricks to drive traffic and sales to your shop. Check it out at Handmade and Beyond. Here's to not just surviving but thriving on Etsy, no matter what the future holds!
Shipping might seem like a mere afterthought amidst the creative whirlwind of running an Etsy shop. Yet, it's a critical aspect that can significantly impact your customer satisfaction and bottom line. Fear not, for I've compiled a list of nine essential shipping strategies to streamline your process, save money, and enhance your shop's success.
- Choose Between Fixed or Calculated Shipping * Fixed Shipping: Best for shops selling similar items. It simplifies the process, potentially lowers costs, and offers room for shipping upgrades as an additional revenue source.
-
Calculated Shipping: Ideal for a diverse inventory, including vintage finds. Ensure your item sizes and weights are accurately listed to avoid surprises.
-
Decide on Free or Paid Shipping Evaluate what works best for your pricing strategy and competitive positioning. Remember, customers love 'free shipping,' but ensure it doesn't erode your margins.
-
Print Labels via Etsy for Convenience and Discounts Printing shipping labels through Etsy is not only convenient but also comes with discounts. While third-party sites like Pirate Ship offer similar discounts, integrating multiple sources might complicate the process unnecessarily unless you're managing various platforms.
-
Source Supplies from Wholesalers Cut down on costs by purchasing your shipping supplies in bulk from wholesalers. Check out options like Jiaropack for competitive prices on essential supplies.
-
Get Creative with "Frankenstein" Boxes For uniquely shaped or oversized items, don't shy away from modifying boxes to fit. This approach can save on shipping costs and materials.
-
Navigate International Shipping with Ease Etsy simplifies international shipping by suggesting tariff numbers and automatically adding VAT numbers. However, tread carefully with fixed shipping rates for international orders due to variable costs.
-
Include a Thoughtful Packing Slip Personalize the unboxing experience with a custom packing slip. Adding a coupon code for their next purchase or instructions for leaving a review can enhance customer engagement and loyalty.
-
Utilize Etsy Purchase Protection Etsy's purchase protection provides peace of mind for both sellers and buyers, ensuring that transactions are secure and trustworthy.
-
Invest in a Small Shipping Scale Accuracy is key in shipping. Avoid the pitfalls of estimation by using a shipping scale, ensuring you're charging the correct amount and avoiding fees from Etsy for underpaid postage.

The Enigma of Etsy Shops: Deciphering Success Amidst the Unusual
In the bustling marketplace of Etsy, sellers are constantly on a quest for the secret recipe to success. As you dive into the depths of this online bazaar, you're bound to stumble upon stores that defy logic – those that flourish despite seemingly glaring shortcomings or peculiar strategies. Today, we pull back the curtain on these Etsy anomalies, exploring the mysteries behind their success and what lessons can be learned.
The Curious Case of Minimal Listings and Maximum Sales It's a rare but not impossible sight: shops with a scant selection boasting impressive sales figures. While some might strike gold with their debut product, this scenario is the exception rather than the rule. Success on Etsy usually requires a broader catalog, adhering to the 80/20 rule where 20% of your products generate 80% of revenue. But what about those outliers?
- Advertising Magic: The iceberg's tip doesn't reveal the massive advertising efforts below, from Facebook to Etsy's own platforms. However, investing in ads is a gamble with no guaranteed return.
- Spotlight Surprises: Occasionally, a product catches the media's eye, as I experienced when BuzzFeed catapulted my sales overnight. Such unexpected exposure underscores the potential windfalls in the unpredictable world of Etsy.
- Strategic Shifts: Some stores pivot their focus, reaping the benefits of past successes while venturing into new territories. The lesson here is to stay adaptable and vigilant for evolving market trends.
Thriving Despite Imperfect Presentations Encountering shops with lackluster photos yet high sales is baffling. These cases often involve external advertising or cater to a super niche audience. Poor presentation usually hinders organic discovery, as Etsy's algorithm favors quality visuals and setups. This scenario reinforces the necessity of investing in quality product photography and shop aesthetics.
High Sales Marred by Negative Feedback A shop might undergo a transformation, shifting from beloved products to new offerings that fail to resonate, reflected in poor reviews. This shift, coupled with aggressive advertising, can be a double-edged sword, risking the shop's reputation and viability on the platform. The takeaway? Quality should never be compromised for cost-cutting, as customer satisfaction is paramount.
The Dilemma of Pricing Extremes Racing to the Bottom: Competing on price alone is a perilous path, often leading to unsustainable business practices and diminished perceived value. Instead, focus on quality and value differentiation, appealing to consumers who prioritize these factors over mere cost.
Soaring High: Conversely, premium pricing can be a viable strategy if the quality justifies the cost. This approach requires a clear value proposition, ensuring customers understand and are willing to pay for the superior quality or uniqueness of your offerings.
In Conclusion
Navigating the enigmatic world of Etsy requires more than just observing the surface. By understanding the underlying factors behind seemingly illogical success stories, sellers can refine their strategies, focusing on quality, differentiation, and adaptability. And for those feeling lost in the SEO maze, my comprehensive guide on Etsy SEO Success promises to illuminate the path to visibility and sales growth. Discover the secrets at Handmade and Beyond, and transform your Etsy shop from bewildering to bewilderingly successful.
This journey through Etsy's oddities is not just about questioning the unconventional; it's about learning, adapting, and thriving in a marketplace as diverse and dynamic as the creators it hosts. Whether facing shops with minimal listings and maximal impact, navigating the challenges of presentation and pricing, or understanding the balance between quality and visibility, there's always more beneath the surface. As you continue to explore and evolve, remember: in the world of Etsy, uniqueness isn't just an asset; it's a strategy.
Today, I'm diving into a topic that might just be the golden key to unlocking more sales and success on Etsy: the Sales Funnel. Yes, it's a term that might seem a bit complex or even intimidating at first, but I promise, understanding it is like finding a treasure map for your business. So, let's embark on this journey together, shall we?
The Magic of Etsy Sales Funnels Imagine a funnel, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom. This, my friends, is the perfect metaphor for the journey your potential customers take, from discovering your shop to making a purchase, and hopefully, becoming loyal fans. It's a path filled with opportunities, and today, I'm going to share with you the three crucial stages of this journey, or as I like to call them, the "Three Buckets of Sales Success."
Bucket 1: Traffic – The Wide-Open Gateway The top of the funnel is all about traffic. This is where potential buyers first encounter your shop, and it's your chance to make a great first impression. Traffic can come from inside Etsy through search results or Etsy ads, and from outside Etsy through a plethora of channels including social media, email marketing, your blog, YouTube channel, other websites, and even personal referrals.
The Goal: Get More Traffic and Convert it to Sales * Boost Your SEO: Fine-tuning your SEO can significantly increase your visibility in search results. * Ramp Up Marketing and Promotion: More exposure through ads and social media can lead to higher traffic volumes. * Create Stellar Listings: Once you've got potential buyers' attention, dazzling product listings are key to turning interest into purchases.
Bucket 2: Buyer – The Heart of the Journey In the middle of the funnel, we have our buyers. These can be gift buyers or those purchasing for themselves. This stage is all about conversion – turning that interest into a sale.
The Goal: Impress and Increase Revenue * Excel in Customer Service: Fast responses and resolving issues swiftly can make a huge difference. * Ship Quickly and Package Well: These touches add to the overall customer experience. * Aim for a 5-Star Review: Follow up with customers through messages and packing slips to encourage positive reviews. * Upsell: Offer related products, bundles, or incentives like free shipping to increase the value of each purchase.
Bucket 3: After Purchase – The Narrow End With Big Opportunities Finally, at the bottom of the funnel, we focus on post-purchase actions. This stage is crucial for turning a one-time buyer into a repeat customer and even a brand advocate.
The Goal: Create Repeat Customers and Referrals * Continue to Impress: Apply all the tips from the buyer stage to ensure customer satisfaction. * Encourage Repeat Business: Include a coupon code in the package slip or sign them up to your email list for future promotions. * Foster Referrals: Exceptional customer service, fast shipping, and personal touches can turn happy customers into vocal supporters of your brand.
No More SEO Struggles Feeling overwhelmed by SEO? Don't be. The journey to mastering SEO and leveraging it for increased traffic and sales on Etsy doesn't have to be a solo adventure. I've discovered a treasure trove of insights and tips that can guide you through the process, ensuring your shop shines brighter.

In the vast world of online commerce, it's often said that "riches are in the niches." But what exactly does that mean, and how can you successfully navigate the process of narrowing down your market to find your sweet spot? In today's episode, I break down the steps to help you discover your niche and capitalize on it.
Step 1: Define Your Niche
The first step is to identify your niche. This typically involves selecting a specific subject matter or item that you want to sell. For example, you might want to sell baby-related products or create products featuring funny sayings. But here's where the magic happens - you can't stop at the general idea. Dive deeper.
Step 2: Niche Down Further
To stand out and connect with a more specific audience, you need to add layers to your niche. Let's say your initial niche was "baby stuff." Ask yourself, what kind of baby stuff are you interested in? Is it baby clothes, baby shirts, baby art, or something else entirely? Then, consider the designs or themes you can incorporate, such as funny sayings, animal prints, or other creative elements.
Similarly, if your niche is "funny sayings," determine what products you want to put these sayings on, like cups, shirts, mugs, and more.
Step 3: Go Deeper Still
If you think your niche is specific enough, think again. The deeper you go, the better. For instance, if your niche is "baby wall art with animal prints," take it a step further. Specify the types of animals, like giraffes, elephants, or other safari animals. But don't stop there; you can even delve deeper by incorporating additional elements like animals playing with toys or engaging in sports.
Likewise, if your niche is "funny sayings on shirts about wine," consider adding another layer by incorporating graphics of cute women enjoying wine. The more specific you get, the more likely you are to connect with a highly interested audience.
Step 4: Build a Product Line
Now that you've niched down effectively, it's time to build a product line within that niche. Remember, having just one product in one sub-niche may not be enough to attract traffic and sales. Create a variety of related products that align with your niche. For instance, if your niche is "safari animal pants playing sports," you can design a range of options, such as elephants playing soccer, giraffes playing soccer, rhinos playing football, and so on. The possibilities are endless.
Step 5: Pivot and Cross Over
As you deepen your niche, don't be afraid to pivot slightly to test the market further. Sometimes, a subtle shift in perspective can open up new opportunities. For instance, if you started with "baby pants with giraffes playing soccer," try pivoting to giraffes playing with other animals, playing in different settings, or engaging in various activities. This flexibility can help you discover what resonates best with your audience.
Additionally, consider crossing over from subject matter to different items within your niche. If "funny wine sayings" are selling well on shirts, explore offering them on cups, sweatshirts, art, and more. You can even offer matching accessories to increase your revenue per customer, such as safari animal print hats and bibs or funny wine sayings on keychains and koozies.
In Conclusion
In the competitive world of online business, finding your niche and going deep into it is a proven strategy for success. By following these steps, you can refine your niche, build a robust product line, and adapt as needed to meet your audience's preferences. Remember, the more specific your niche, the higher the probability of attracting loyal customers and thriving in your chosen market.

Understanding Overwhelm: The Root Causes To effectively combat overwhelm, it's crucial to recognize its sources:
- Lack of organization
- An overload of tasks
- Uncertainty about the future
- Deviations from plans
- External pressures and factors
Reflecting on my journey post-corporate life in 2018, I realized that these factors were the crux of my overwhelm. Transitioning from a structured environment to the fluidity of running my own business was challenging. However, the following three steps, which I call the "Workflow Accelerator Loop," were game-changers.
The Workflow Accelerator Loop: Your 3-Step Guide
- Assess Your Time: Start by realistically determining how much time you can dedicate to your business. This assessment is foundational to creating a workable plan.
- Weekly Scheduling: With a clear understanding of your available time, schedule your week. This step brings structure and predictability, reducing the chaos that leads to overwhelm.
- Task Prioritization: Finally, allocate specific times for each task. Prioritization ensures that you focus on the most impactful activities, leading to efficient and productive work sessions.
Conclusion: Implementing these seemingly simple steps can profoundly impact your Etsy business. While they may appear straightforward, the majority overlook their effectiveness. By integrating the Workflow Accelerator Loop into your routine, you'll witness a significant reduction in overwhelm and a corresponding boost in productivity and business growth. Start today and experience the transformation yourself!

Etsy's Commitment to Privacy: Changes to Email Sharing Etsy is reinforcing its commitment to privacy and security with a significant update: starting February 5, the platform will cease sharing buyers' email addresses with certain third-party integrations like Alura, AWeber, Craftkit, and Erank. This proactive move aims to enhance the safety and privacy of Etsy's vibrant community, addressing concerns around buyers receiving unsolicited emails from unfamiliar sources.
For sellers who rely on these third-party tools, this change underscores the importance of keeping communication within Etsy Messages. This not only ensures a streamlined and secure experience for both buyers and sellers but also allows Etsy's support teams to provide more effective assistance when needed. As Etsy continues to evolve with a community-first approach, understanding and adapting to these updates is crucial for maintaining trust and success in the marketplace.

Achieve Your Etsy Goals in 2024: 5 Strategic Tips for Success As we step into 2024, setting clear, achievable goals for your Etsy shop is more important than ever. To help you not only set these goals but also reach them, I've compiled a list of five strategic tips that will guide you through this journey.
-
Reflect on Last Year's Positives Before diving into the new year, take a moment to reflect on what worked well for you last year. Identify 3-5 positive aspects of your Etsy business. It's easy to focus on what didn't work, but understanding and building upon your successes can provide a solid foundation for future growth.
-
Identify Areas for Improvement Now, think about 3-5 things you could improve in 2024. This isn't about dwelling on failures, but rather recognizing areas where you have the opportunity to grow and enhance your Etsy shop.
-
Set a Singular, Attainable Goal What is your primary goal for the end of 2024? Choose just one. This focus will help you channel your energies effectively. Ensure your goal is realistic and within reach - setting unattainable goals can lead to frustration and demotivation.
-
Get Specific with Your Goal Vague goals are hard to achieve. Make your goal as specific as possible. For instance, instead of saying, "I want to increase sales," quantify it: "I aim to increase sales by 20% by the end of 2024." This specificity will make your goal more tangible and measurable.
-
Weekly Actions for Goal Achievement Finally, break down your goal into smaller, manageable tasks. What are 1-2 actions you can commit to every week that will lead you toward your goal? This could include optimizing your listings for SEO, creating new products, or enhancing your marketing strategies.
Implementing Your Strategy Consistency is Key Remember, the consistency of your actions is crucial. Regularly working towards your goal, even through small weekly tasks, can lead to significant progress over time.
Track and Adjust Regularly track your progress. If you find that certain actions aren't bringing you closer to your goal, don't be afraid to adjust your strategy. Flexibility can be just as important as persistence.
Stay Motivated Keep your goal visible, whether that's a note on your desk or a reminder on your phone. Staying mindful of what you're working towards can help maintain your motivation throughout the year.
Conclusion Setting and achieving goals for your Etsy shop doesn't have to be a daunting task. By reflecting on the past, setting a clear and attainable goal, making it specific, and committing to consistent actions, you can make 2024 your most successful year yet. Here’s to reaching new heights in your Etsy journey!
Etsy's Year in Review & Workforce Changes: What Sellers Need to Know As we reflect on Etsy's journey through 2023, two major stories stand out: the release of Etsy's comprehensive year in review for sellers and the recent news of Etsy reducing its workforce by 11%. Let's unpack what these developments mean for Etsy sellers moving forward.
Etsy’s Annual Performance Review: A Seller’s Perspective
Etsy has rolled out its year in review, offering sellers a personalized look at their performance alongside a broader review of the platform's new features and initiatives in 2023. This annual recap is more than just a reflection; it's a tool to help sellers understand their growth and areas for improvement, considering the platform's evolving landscape.
Workforce Reduction: A Tough Call
The announcement of Etsy laying off 225 workers, around 11% of its workforce, right before Christmas, has sparked a mix of reactions. While it’s a tough pill to swallow, especially during the festive season, it's important to understand the context and implications for sellers.
Etsy's Growth and Staffing Dynamics
It's noteworthy that Etsy's workforce doubled since 2019, fueled significantly by the COVID-19 pandemic. However, general merchandise sales have plateaued since 2021, leading to this workforce adjustment. Similar actions were observed at other e-commerce giants like eBay and Amazon earlier this year, signaling a broader industry trend.
Etsy's Financial Health and Seller Impact
Despite the workforce reduction, Etsy remains a robust, profitable entity, consistently surpassing many of its quarterly financial expectations. These changes appear to be strategic moves to conserve costs amidst inflated staffing levels following the pandemic-induced growth spurt.
Should Sellers Be Concerned?
For Etsy sellers, the immediate concern may revolve around whether such changes signal instability or reduced support. However, considering Etsy's profitability and strategic planning, the impact on sellers might be minimal. Large organizations typically have systems to manage such transitions smoothly, although only time will reveal the full impact.
Continued Investment in Seller Initiatives
Encouragingly, Etsy is not stepping back from investing in seller success. With a $50 million investment in seller initiatives in 2022 and a growing buyer base – reaching about 95 million in 2022 – Etsy is showing a commitment to fostering a dynamic, seller-friendly environment.
Looking Ahead: Adaptability and Resilience
As Etsy continues to evolve, sellers need to remain adaptable and resilient. Understanding market trends, leveraging Etsy's seller tools, and staying informed about platform changes are more crucial than ever.
Conclusion
The recent workforce reduction at Etsy, though significant, is part of a broader business strategy common in the e-commerce industry. For Etsy sellers, the focus should remain on leveraging the platform’s resources, adapting to market trends, and continuing to grow their businesses in this dynamic marketplace.
Remember, Etsy's investments and growing buyer base are positive indicators for sellers worldwide. Here's to a resilient and prosperous journey ahead for all Etsy entrepreneurs!

Etsy Tactics vs. Strategy: Mastering the Art of Online Selling In the ever-evolving world of Etsy, understanding the distinction between tactics and strategy is crucial. Today, we're diving deep into what these terms mean and how they can significantly impact your Etsy success. This isn't just another technical talk; it's about laying a solid foundation for your Etsy business.
The Difference Between Tactics and Strategy Understanding Tactics Tactics are the actions you take in the short term to get your business off the ground. It's the grind, the hustle – the daily tasks that keep your Etsy shop active and engaging. This includes adding new listings, taking product photographs, engaging on social media, crafting your products, and shipping them out. Without these tactics, your shop would remain stagnant. However, tactics alone, without a broader plan, are like working without a clear direction.
The Power of Strategy Strategy, on the other hand, is your long-term plan, the master blueprint that guides your business towards its goals. It's what transforms random actions into a cohesive path leading to success. Strategy ensures that the tactics you employ are aligned with your larger objectives, saving you time and increasing effectiveness. Think of strategy as the map that leads you through the wilderness of online selling.
Final Thoughts Running an Etsy business involves juggling many aspects, but having a clear plan can reduce stress and increase motivation. Remember, the best approach combines both tactical action and strategic planning.

Is Etsy Passive Income a Myth or Reality? Unpacking the Truth
The allure of passive income has many creators and entrepreneurs searching for ways to earn repeatedly with minimal effort. And when it comes to Etsy, the platform often comes up in discussions about passive income potential. So, let's dive deep into whether Etsy truly offers a path to passive income.
The Myth of "Free Money" Firstly, it's crucial to debunk the myth of effortless income. While passive income does mean earning repeatedly, perhaps with less effort after initial work, it's not about getting something for nothing. Setting the foundations for a passive income stream requires significant upfront effort, after which you may reap ongoing rewards.
Passive Income on Etsy: A Practical Perspective When we apply the passive income concept to Etsy, it's clear that a set-it-and-forget-it approach isn't viable. However, you can indeed create and sell products designed for recurring sales without continual hands-on work.
Popular Passive Income Niches on Etsy: * Printables: This includes calendars, planners, templates, and artwork. * Educational Materials: Such as tutorial videos or DIY guides. * Music Tracks: Original compositions or sound effects in MP3 format. * Print on Demand (POD): Where another company handles printing and shipping of physical products like t-shirts and mugs.
The Challenges of Passive Products Despite the appeal, there are several pitfalls to be aware of:
- Initial Effort: Upfront work is non-negotiable. Research, product creation, and listing are just the start.
- Ongoing Work: Continual shop updates, market research, and product adjustments are necessary to stay relevant and competitive.
- Market Saturation: Due to the ease of listing digital products, the market is crowded. Quality and a deep understanding of your niche are essential.
- Smaller Margins: Particularly with POD, you'll sacrifice a larger portion of profits to manufacturing partners. For digital downloads, the price point may be lower unless your product is unique and in high demand.
Succeeding in the Passive Income Arena on Etsy If you're considering this route on Etsy, don't be discouraged. Shops often fail for two reasons: a lack of a defined niche and an absence of passion. A clearly defined niche allows you to cater to specific needs and build a dedicated customer base. Passion, on the other hand, is the fuel that will sustain your efforts through challenging times.
Wrapping Up with a Black Friday Connection If you're looking to maximize your Etsy shop's potential, whether with passive income products or otherwise, gearing up for Black Friday is essential. To help you with this, I've prepared a comprehensive Black Friday guide that includes a sale overview, important dates, strategies, ideas, and a marketing guide.

In conclusion, passive income on Etsy isn't just a dream, but it's not a free ride either. With careful planning, a strong niche, and a persistent passion, you can create a stream of income that pays dividends long after the initial work is done.

5 Pro Tips to Make Your Black Friday Shine: 1. Preparation is Key: Don't wait until the turkey's in the oven. Pin down the specifics of your sale now. What treasures will you highlight? When and where will you start the drumroll? Past bestsellers and seasonal specials are usually a hit. 2. Tease Your Audience: Start whispering secrets about your upcoming sale a week in advance. Whether through social media, email blasts, or your Etsy shop announcement section, get the word out and the excitement up. 3. Creative Sale Concepts:
* Consider percentage discounts.
* Play with BOGO (buy one, get one) deals.
* Offer the ever-enticing free shipping.
* Mix and match the above for an irresistible combo.
- Sweeten the Pot: How can you add that extra sugar to the deal? Bundle up products, toss in a free accessory, or include a surprise sample. Be innovative—this is your moment to turn a buyer into a brand ambassador.
- Don't Stop the Party Early: Keep the confetti flying post-Friday. Ponder extending the sale through the weekend or even the following week. Decide whether to announce this extension early on or surprise them mid-celebration.
The Bonus Tip to Seal the Deal: Remember, many Black Friday purchases are destined to be gifts. A good number of these giftees may be unfamiliar with Etsy or your shop. Charm them at hello with a well-crafted packing slip—complete with a tempting discount code for their next purchase (a feature easily handled through Etsy's packing slip options).
This Black Friday, set your shop apart from the crowd. With these tips and your free guide, you're not just participating in the biggest sales day of the year—you're positioned to dominate.

Is Etsy Too Saturated? Debunking the Myth
You've probably heard it before: "Etsy is too saturated." But is this widespread belief actually rooted in truth? Today, I aim to dismantle this assumption and shed light on the reality of Etsy's marketplace.
First Thing's First: A Gift For You! Before we delve into the world of saturation, I've got something special for you. Grab my free guide that reveals the Top 10 Ways to Boost Your Etsy Growth. Don't miss out on these invaluable tips to outshine in a crowded marketplace! Download your free copy here.
Saturation: An Excuse or Reality? While the term "saturation" frequently floats around the business sphere, it's often misused as a convenient scapegoat for failure. If you're familiar with my ethos, you'll know that I believe in eradicating excuses and nurturing a proactive mindset.
Consider this: Renowned brands like McDonald's, Wendy's, and Burger King coexist harmoniously. The proximity between Lowe's and Home Depot or even multiple breweries clustered together is no coincidence. Instead of seeing this as market saturation, think of it as the economic game theory in action. These brands aren’t cannibalizing each other; they're capitalizing on the vast consumer pool.
Etsy: A Land of Opportunity Etsy is no different. The key is to identify a segment of the massive marketplace and claim it as your territory. While there are numerous similar niches and products, remember this: a saturated market usually denotes a vast market. So, while Etsy reported having 7.5 million sellers in 2022, it also boasted a whopping 96 million active buyers. The math is clear – there's space for everyone.
However, what does cloud the market is the infiltration of subpar quality shops and products. This clutter might make it slightly challenging for high-quality sellers to gain visibility, but it’s by no means an insurmountable obstacle. It's the transient shops – those that seek quick success without genuine effort – that tend to fade away.
The Reality of Selling Online Contrary to popular belief, selling online is not a walk in the park. While it differs from the challenges of a physical store, it demands dedication, persistence, and continuous improvement.
To truly stand out on Etsy, focus on crafting a unique value proposition. Elevate your offerings, innovate, and consistently deliver quality. Break away from the crowd.
Adopt an abundance mindset. The notion of saturation is a mere illusion, often used as a psychological barrier. Instead of being intimidated by the numbers, be inspired by them.
Remember, you might need to niche down, refine your approach, or even reinvent your strategy multiple times before hitting the sweet spot. But with tenacity and time, success is achievable.
In conclusion, let go of the myths surrounding market saturation. Embrace the vastness of Etsy, find your unique space, and flourish.
Exploring Etsy's Latest Features: A Deep Dive
Hello Etsy sellers!
There’s buzz around town about some new features Etsy has rolled out, and today we're diving deep into what these mean for you and your shop. Let's walk through each of these exciting additions and weigh their pros and cons.
But first, a treat! For those of you eager to give your Etsy business an added boost, I've crafted an invaluable guide: 10 Ways to Accelerate Etsy Growth. Grab your free copy and set the stage for a successful selling journey.
-
Pricing Optimizer Tool Cons:
-
Doesn't consider current sales or promotions.
- Might not provide accurate comparisons since it bases its suggestions on keywords. Remember, products can differ in materials, quality, and more.
- If your item is unique, it may struggle to find a comparison.
- Don't be swayed by its advice blindly. For instance, one of my bestsellers, priced at $51.98, received a suggestion to lower it to the $32-35 range, despite its current success.
- Appears limited in the listings it presents.
Pros:
- Great for sellers unsure about their pricing strategy. (Also, do check out our previous episode on effective product pricing.)
- Provides a glimpse of similar listings for comparison.
-
Facilitates easy price alterations and feedback provision.
-
'From Etsy' Message Section Safety first! With a recent surge in suspicious messages from entities posing as Etsy staff, Etsy's taken a crucial step to enhance our security. Introducing the “From Etsy” section in Messages. It's a streamlined way to immediately recognize genuine communications from the platform, whether it's from Marketing, Support, Research, or Community teams.
-
Revamped Gift Packing Slips Gifting on Etsy just got better. The refreshed gift packing slips are designed keeping the recipient in mind:
-
The gift message stands out, positioned prominently at the top.
- QR codes have been integrated, leading directly to your shop and Etsy.
- And here's the cherry on top: if you've set up a discount code for future buys, that too gets a mention. If you haven’t yet, it's a hint to get started!
In conclusion, while Etsy's continuous improvements cater to enhancing seller experience, it's crucial to use these tools judiciously and in alignment with your shop's unique needs.
Determining the right price for your Etsy products can be a daunting challenge. However, with a structured approach and careful consideration of various factors, you can strategically price your items for maximum profitability and competitiveness.
-
Understand Your Costs: The first step is to break down every cost involved in creating your product. This includes materials, supplies, Etsy fees, shipping charges, packing materials, and any other associated costs.
-
The 3x Cost Rule: A widely accepted approach is to mark up the cost of your item by three times. So, if a product costs you $5 to make, a suitable starting price would be $15. If you're considering wholesale, it's typically priced at double the cost.
-
Prioritize Profit Margin: It's essential to maintain a healthy profit margin. Ideally, you should aim for a margin above 30%, though 50% or more is excellent. Your profit margin is calculated as PM = cost/revenue. A slim margin makes it challenging to be competitive, limits promotional opportunities, and reduces adaptability to rising expenses.
-
Gauge the Competition: It's crucial to be aware of the market. If your product is priced at $15, while the competition averages at $5, you may need to reassess your costs or value proposition. A tool like Alura can be invaluable for researching average prices. Remember, while you can command a higher price with added value, there's a limit to how much more customers are willing to pay.
-
Pricing Tiers: There are typically three pricing tiers to consider:
-
Low: Often seen as cheap and can lead to a race to the bottom.
- Average: A safer bet for most sellers.
-
High: Reserved for premium products with a distinct value proposition.
-
Justifying Your Price: If you opt for a higher price point, ensure you offer additional value to justify it. Some effective ways to add value include:
-
Stellar, high-quality images.
- Detailed descriptions emphasizing quality and uniqueness.
- Top-notch customer service.
-
Offering something extra that competitors don't – be it an accessory, a printable guide, care instructions, or any other complementary add-on.
-
Embrace Flexibility: Pricing isn't static. As you evolve, your costs might change, or you might want to test different price points. Be prepared to adjust accordingly.

Etsy Updates: A Dive into Recent Changes and Their Impacts
-
The Mysterious Vacation Mode Saga Several Etsy sellers have recently reported an unusual phenomenon: their shops being unilaterally put into vacation mode. This action, seemingly linked to verification issues, has left many shop owners frustrated. Compounding the problem is Etsy's lack of direct customer service, leaving sellers without a direct line of communication to resolve the issue. This move, purportedly a part of Etsy's efforts to combat fraud, appears to have stumbled in execution.
-
Gear Up for Etsy's 5-Week Cyber Sale Etsy is ramping up for a massive Cyber Sale, spanning from October 23rd to November 29th, encompassing both Black Friday and Cyber Monday. To make this sale a success, Etsy is encouraging sellers to offer substantial discounts. The magic number? A minimum of 25% off, as data suggests such a discount could lead to increased orders.
For sellers willing to join in, there's added incentive. Etsy unveiled a sweepstakes where 50 lucky sellers stand a chance to win $40 in listing credits, translating to approximately 200 listing credits per winner. The catch? It seems sellers might need to put their entire shop on sale to qualify, so it's essential to understand the terms.
- Shipping Updates Stir Confusion Etsy recently made changes to its shipping options, causing a ripple of confusion amongst sellers. The update removed the 'Other' option for shipping carriers for US and UK sellers, mandating the selection from a list of supported services. This change aims to provide buyers with more accurate delivery estimates.
However, it hasn’t been all smooth sailing. Some sellers have reported glaring discrepancies in the estimated and actual shipping durations. For instance, a promised 3-7 day delivery might actually take 5-14 days, setting incorrect expectations for buyers.
Etsy's stance? For sellers, as long as they adhere to the stated ship-by date and provide valid proof, they won't be held accountable for in-transit delays by carriers. But on the buyer's side, Etsy permits them to leave reviews or open cases just a day post the estimated delivery date.
The recent changes on Etsy underline the platform's evolving nature. While some modifications aim to enhance the shopping experience, others might require fine-tuning. For sellers, staying informed and adaptable is key to navigating this dynamic marketplace.
$500,000 in Etsy Sales: The Real Story Behind My Success
If you're expecting a tale of sipping mai tais on a sun-drenched beach, I must confess, this isn’t that kind of success story. But if you’re looking for raw, unfiltered insights into the path to $500,000 in Etsy sales, keep reading.
First and foremost, I firmly believe anyone can run a thriving Etsy business. The potential is out there. But the hard truth? Not everyone will. The differentiating factor? It's all in the journey, as I'm about to share.
-
No One-Size-Fits-All Approach: Success stories on Etsy vary widely. While this diversity of experience is inspiring, it can be equally frustrating since there's no guaranteed formula.
-
Patience is a Virtue: My journey wasn’t an overnight success. I earned just a few hundred in my first year, and by the end of the third year, I hadn't even touched 5k.
-
Perseverance Above All: Every triumphant Etsy shop owner or entrepreneur shares a common trait: unwavering persistence. They face challenges head-on and never throw in the towel.
-
The Art of Pivoting: Recall the hilarious "Pivot!" scene from Friends with Ross and the couch? That’s business in a nutshell. The path to success is rarely straight; it’s filled with twists and turns. And sometimes, you need to adapt and change direction.
-
Embrace Change: If there's one constant in business, it’s change. If you can't evolve with the shifting landscape, it’s hard to thrive.
-
Lifelong Learning: There’s always something new to learn. No matter how experienced you get, there’s always room to grow and new strategies to explore.
-
Master Your Niche: Being a top seller means deeply understanding your niche. And if you’re unclear about what your niche is, it's time for some introspection.
-
Recognize the Journey’s Phases: Every entrepreneur goes through various emotional stages – from optimism to pessimism and back to renewed energy. Recognizing these phases helps navigate the lows and highs.
-
A Structured Workflow: One significant shift in my journey was establishing a defined workflow. It streamlined operations and made growth manageable.
-
Diversify Your Sales Platforms: While Etsy has been my goldmine, I’ve also ventured into eBay, Amazon, Mercari, Poshmark, and even my website. Diversifying income streams fortifies your business against unforeseen challenges.
In closing, building a successful Etsy store isn't just about talent or luck – it’s about grit, adaptability, and continuous learning. To those embarking on this journey, arm yourselves with these insights, and remember, every challenge is a stepping stone to success.

Concerns have been rife among genuine crafters about Etsy being inundated with commodity items posing as handmade crafts. Addressing this, Etsy took decisive action on Monday. Listings now flagged by Etsy's automated system for potentially breaching its Handmade Policy will stay active but won't be visible in search results or recommendations. This hiatus allows Etsy's specialists to review the listing in question. The brand assures, "Our team will then decide if the listing should be taken down or if it's fit to continue its presence on Etsy." Sellers can expect this review process to conclude in less than 24 hours.
In other Etsy news:
- A new "Share and Save" workshop recording is now available on the seller dashboard. Highlight: for every $100 order, sellers receive $4 back.
- Etsy is expanding its technological horizons. After integrating Augmented Reality (AR) technology for painting, photography, and prints in 2020, they're branching into home furnishings, enhancing the shopping experience for users.
Etsy's recent moves signal its commitment to preserving the platform's core ethos while embracing technological advances for an enriched user experience.
Mastering the Christmas Sales Surge on Etsy: Start Today!
Christmas may be months away, but the secret to a successful holiday season on Etsy starts now. Elevate your sales during the most wonderful time of the year with these strategies:
-
Get a Head Start on Listings: Christmas and holiday-themed items gain traction months before December. Begin listing your festive products 3-4 months in advance to capture early shoppers and those planning ahead.
-
Analyze Last Year's Heroes: Reflect on your top-performing listings from the previous year. Which items garnered the most sales or traffic? Introduce 5 new products inspired by those best-sellers. If you're a newer shop owner, consider your top-performing listings year-to-date.
-
Embrace the Sales Calendar: While some may argue that promotions aren't crucial, ask yourself: Which major retailer doesn't employ this strategy? Sales events spark emotion, breed loyalty, and excite customers. The key is designing your business to accommodate these promotions without undercutting your profit margins.
-
Crystal-Clear Shipping Deadlines: Ensure your customers receive their orders in time for the holidays. Clearly communicate shipping deadlines in your shop announcements and listings. If you rely on print-on-demand services, factor in their processing times. To build trust and offer convenience, consider adding expedited shipping options. This not only provides choice but can also encourage last-minute shoppers.
-
Stock Up and Get Ready: For handmade sellers, ensure you have all the crafting and shipping supplies you'll need. Vintage sellers, now's the time to increase your inventory. Being prepared means you can focus on sales and customer service when the rush hits.
By integrating these tactics, you'll position your Etsy store for a fruitful and organized holiday season. Happy selling! 🎄

Here's an overview of what's covered in this new edition of Etsy Seller News!
-
Beware of Scammers! There's been a notable increase in sellers receiving messages and calls from fake "Etsy support." Some sellers are also being approached by faux “buyers”. On the buyer side, there have been instances of individuals calling random “support” numbers found online, unknowingly inviting scams. A reminder: always initiate support requests solely through Etsy's official Help Center and their contact support form.
-
UK Sellers & Royal Mail Collaboration: Good news for UK sellers! You can now let Royal Mail print your Etsy shipping labels. However, there's a catch: each label comes with a QR code that needs scanning by Royal Mail – which can be time-consuming.
-
Etsy's Share & Save Program: If you missed our previous episode on this, here's a refresher: Sellers can save 4% by leveraging this program. The links are 'cookied' for 30 days, allowing you to earn from any purchase made within that time.
-
Important Policy Update on Imagery: Effective from September 8th (apologies for the delay in sharing!), Etsy has revised its content guidelines concerning minors. The platform now prohibits content that depicts minors in undergarments, images highlighting minors in form-fitting attire focusing on private areas, or any poses perceived as age-inappropriate.
Is Etsy's "Share & Save" Worth the Buzz?
The Etsy community is buzzing about Etsy’s latest offering, the "Share & Save" program. Promising benefits and potential savings, is this feature a genuine game-changer for sellers or just another marketing gimmick?
How "Share & Save" Works: Etsy is incentivizing its sellers to drive traffic to their shops. By participating in the program, you can earn back 4% on eligible sales, and the credits can be applied to purchases made within a 30-day window.
Where To Generate Links For Maximum Impact:
- Shop Links: Direct buyers to your entire collection by sharing the unique link found on your Shop Dashboard, Stats, or the specific Share & Save page.
- Listing Links: Showcase specific items, especially trending products or items on sale. Access these via Listings in Shop Manager, then simply click and share.
- Promo Codes: Share special offers and promotions with unique trackable links, saving on fees for eligible orders.
- Reviews: Nothing boosts sales like positive feedback. With the Etsy Seller app, you can share glowing reviews, directing potential buyers to your store.
- Shop Sections: Highlight particular categories or themes from your shop. Accessible via the Etsy Seller app, you can easily guide buyers to explore specific sections.
Note: All generated links should be formatted as: https://shopname.etsy.com.
The Bright Side - Pros:
- Instant Cashback: The 4% refund is instantly credited to your payment account under "share and save refund."
- Boost Performance: Sellers with a significant social media presence or best-selling items stand to benefit the most, leveraging their outreach for more sales.
The Flip Side - Cons:
- Link Limitations: The benefits apply to the last link clicked before a sale. This means offsite ads might override your "Share & Save" link.
- Efficacy: The ultimate question remains - will this strategy genuinely translate to increased sales and engagement?
In conclusion, while "Share & Save" presents an appealing proposition, its success depends on strategic use and individual sellers' outreach. As always, it's wise to experiment, measure the results, and adapt accordingly. Happy selling!

We tend to think getting scammed is usually on the buyer's end. But it's very common for sellers to get scammed as well. Today I will dive into the top 9 Etsy seller scams out there so you can stay clear of these scumbag fraudsters.
Here's a summary of what's covered:
- Claiming there was an issue accepting payment for their order and sending you a fake QR code through Messages saying that you need to scan it to confirm their purchase.
- Asking for additional items to be added to their order. For example, asking sellers to purchase and include a highly-priced gift card with their order and promising to pay them back later.
- Claiming they want to purchase items listed in a link that is actually malware or a link to a phishing site.
- Offering to send you more money than you are asking for your item? This is known as an overpayment scam.
- Insisting you reply via a personal email address, off of Etsy? A buyer who immediately insists on communicating off of our site may be questionable. Your email is never required for a buyer to complete a purchase. (you shouldn’t be communicating through email if you’re a buyer or seller)
- Seeming not to have read or looked at your listing, based on their vague questions. (could be a red flag)
- Refusing to go through Etsy Checkout, thereby disqualifying the transaction from any Etsy protection.
- Having a particular interest in an item of relatively high value. Scammers tend to focus on mid and high-value listings.
- Getting any message where someone is offering help with marketing, promotion, etc.

One eBay seller complained that they saw sponsored listings in the middle of their listing above the description. I haven’t heard of this happening on etsy, but there are related listings on the bottom.
Most buyers do not read the descriptions, especially on eBay. Pictures/video tell the story which is even more of a reason to make sure they are clear. Keep in mind that with etsy, descriptions do play a part when it comes to SEO

In this new episode of Etsy Seller News, I talk about the inform consumers act that goes into effect on June 27th. This new law requires marketplaces to disclose information about sellers such as name and address. The point of the law is to make buying online more transparent and safe. However, sellers do worry about people getting and abusing their personal information. Don't worry I break down the specifics of this law and precisely who will be impacted.
Also, the Etsy Design Award finalists have been announced and you can vote on the people's choice winner! Don't be a poor sport! Go vote. The link is in your seller dashboard. It's also cool to see what products and sellers made it to the finals. We can all learn something from them I'm sure.

Remember the old adage that if you had a chance to do things over what would you have done differently? What if I apply this to my Etsy business so it could help you?
Hindsight is always 20/20 of course.
But as I've been going through this process of starting, building, running, and growing an Etsy business for the last 10 years I’ve learned a ton. Most of which was trial by fire. Doing something wrong and then self-correcting. And boy did I do a lot wrong which I’ve dedicated entire episodes to in the past lol.
Now I am back to reflect on what I would do differently if I were starting an Etsy business today. This is a fantastic episode!

AI is everyone and now it’s taking over marketplaces. You now see tons of AI-generated stuff for sale on etsy such as art, templates, graphics, and more.
But the real question is… is this allowed on Etsy? Let’s dive into this in today’s episode of seller news.
Kind of a light Etsy news week so I want to cover a hot newsworthy topic that is of course controversial.
Handmade sellers view AI-generated sellers as cutting corners and not handmade since a computer is generating the stuff. But that doesn’t mean that it’s necessarily not allowed...
So I put my detective hat on to try and figure out if Etsy has specifically addressed this.
First, let’s just distinguish what I’m specifically talking about when it comes to AI-generated. You can have AI programs such as Chatgpi generate ideas and content based on questions you ask. But you still have to use this information to create the end product. So more or less you’re using it for research purposes and are still creating the product. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with using AI this way and I don't believe it would violate any Etsy policies.
What I’m specifically talking about is using an AI tool to generate images that you then simply download and put on Etsy for sale without editing them, changing them, or even confirming if you have the right to use them… This I feel is a slippery slow and problematic.
This is what I want to figure out.\
First, I searched the web which is always a great idea when you want to find accurate information you can trust.. lol.
Two articles came up both saying you CAN sell AI-generated art with one linking to Etsy’s policies.
So I went right to the source to double-check. I went to Etsy's seller handbook.
And here’s what Etsy’s handmade policy states…
I couldn't find anything specific to AI products, but I did review their handmade policies.
Based on what I found, even though AI isn’t specifically mentioned, I don’t see how it's not a violation to use an AI-generated product that you didn’t personally design. And I don’t see how you would “make” the items unless you’re using AI to create a pattern and then make it. But that seems like it's never the case because I think the goal with AI-generated stuff is less work and a quick buck.
While I haven’t heard of Etsy taking anything AI-generated down, there are a lot of problems with managing this. First, if the seller isn’t saying it’s AI-generated then it will be really hard to find out, especially if the AI tool is generating original stuff. Second, if it’s stated as AI-generated on the listing, then is it completely generated, unaltered, or slightly altered which probably would be allowed. Or is it AI-related content, information, that was completely created by the seller such as ai prompts… ughhh I know confusing…
So maybe I’m leaving you with more questions than answers until etsy specifically addresses this...
I’ll leave you with this...
Don’t use this as an excuse to give up on your shop. You can’t worry about what other people are doing all the time. It’s a time and energy such.
If you want your Etsy business to succeed I guarantee something like this won’t stop you unless you let it.
This is just the shiny object of controversy of the day. There will always be a new controversy on the horizon. It will not end with this. Just know this, accept it, and learn to grow a thick skin. It can only bother you, distract you or impede you if you let it.
I want to leave you with something to lift your spirits in case what I just said didn’t. I have a new free guide with tips to help you accelerate your etsy business. Snag your copy at handmadeandbeyond.com/accelerate. Start taking action on what you learn. It’s all about getting better and there’s nothing better than learning and applying what you learn.
Most sellers that start an Etsy business find that things move very slowly... In an instant gratification society, this is tough to deal with. We want things fast. We do not like to wait. Online business is no different. Waiting for results and sales is frustrating. Honestly, it's the reason many sellers give up.
Success on Etsy takes time. It would be best if you had that expectation when starting. While selling on Etsy is a marathon, not a sprint, there are ways to accelerate your sales. I want to give you 5 really good ways to do just that in this new podcast episode!

Many sellers on platforms like Etsy often view competition as a detrimental factor, citing it as the primary reason for underperformance in their shops. As an eternal optimist, I'd like to present a different perspective on this issue. Let's talk about why competition is not just beneficial, but essential, and how it can help you improve your Etsy shop's performance.
There is a common belief that Etsy is oversaturated and excessively competitive. This sentiment is frequently used as an explanation for poor shop performance. However, we rarely apply the same logic in our offline lives. So why allow it to hinder us in the virtual world?
Reflect upon this: did competition deter you from applying for jobs or colleges? If you participated in sports or joined a band, did the existence of competition make you quit before you even started? Does competition deter you from availing yourself of great sales deals during Black Friday or other sales events?
Competition is integral to our culture, particularly in America. It is expected and accepted, rarely causing us to abandon our pursuits or to abstain from trying something new. Therefore, why should the narrative be any different when it comes to starting an online business? Anticipating competition should be part of your business strategy.
Let's delve into why competition can be advantageous:
-
A competitive marketplace is a thriving marketplace. Strong competition is absent in stagnant markets or in niches that aren't lucrative. The presence of competition implies a robust market. With approximately 5 million sellers to 93 million buyers on Etsy, the market is certainly vibrant.
-
Competition sustains the market. The revenue that keeps Etsy thriving is largely due to its competitive nature. A reduction in competition might lead to fewer buyers, making it even more challenging to find success.
-
Competition guides you towards success. Familiarize yourself with the top players in your niche; their success stories can offer you valuable lessons. Observe their selling techniques, promotional strategies, pricing, and how they've organized their shops and listings. This information can serve as a roadmap for your own venture. Remember, this doesn't mean directly copying their listings or products, but using their ideas as inspiration for your own unique creations.
-
Competition helps you stand out through value. Over time, as your business develops, you can establish customer loyalty and differentiate your shop by offering high-quality products and superior customer service. Many sellers who lack passion or dedication may start to cut corners, creating opportunities for you to excel.
-
Competition exposes you to what to avoid. You may observe shops making detrimental decisions or experiencing negative consequences, providing you with insights into mistakes to avoid.
-
Competition inspires improvement. It ensures that businesses continuously strive to enhance their offerings for a better consumer experience. Monopolization often leads to complacency and a decline in the quality of the consumer experience.
Lastly, I'd like to recommend a tool that can help you analyze your competition more effectively – Alura's shop analyzer, product seeker, or keyword finder. These tools can assist you in identifying the most successful shops and listings. Here is the link to this tool: https://www.handmadeandbeyond.com/alura
Embrace competition as an opportunity for growth and improvement. Remember, in a thriving marketplace like Etsy, competition is not just inevitable, but it is a sign of a healthy and prosperous ecosystem.
Should you quit Etsy? I hear this debate constantly. Since I'm not the quitting type and I would never promote such a thing, I am going to give you plenty of reasons why you shouldn't quit. I am also going to give you the exact steps and pitfalls sellers go through that causes them to quit so you can avoid them.

Welcome to another episode of Seller News! Here are the deets of what this episode is all about:
Etsy is investing over $50 million in 2023 to ensure that the platform remains safe and special for its community as it grows. Key areas of focus include clearer policies, removing counterfeit items and listings, easier appeals, transparent communication with sellers, and reducing fraud. These efforts help maintain a marketplace where creativity, authenticity, and diversity thrive. In 2022, investments in automated technology helped remove more than four times as many listings violating the Handmade Policy compared to the previous year. The Etsy Reporting Portal was launched to make reporting intellectual property violations easier, and cases were resolved more quickly. Etsy also invested in its support teams to offer live chat support 24/7 for most topics. As Etsy continues to progress, updates will be shared with the community.
Also, Etsy has announced how to get featured in Etsy seller spotlights. You need to fill out a survey which you can find here. This gives you the opportunity to get selected by Etsy to be featured in the following areas:
- Etsy Blog
- Etsy Community Space
- Etsy Seller Handbook
- Etsy Social Media Channels
- Etsy Success Podcast
This is a fantastic opportunity to get some free advertisement and marketing for your shop!

Many shops do not niche down enough and try to target everyone or a larger audience. If you try to target everyone you target no one. You need to niche down to target a more highly engaged audience so they’re more apt to buy, but also to show the algorithm that you are the shop to send people to for that niche. Today I want to give you some steps to help you niche down more effectively.

What’s the best way to wow customers and get repeat buyers?
Many Etsy sellers focus on the front-end work of setting up an amazing listing and doing whatever they can to attract traffic and get customers. What they miss out on is the stuff that happens after the sale.

The cat is out of the bag…. Etsy has announced what it’s up to in 2023. And it seems as though they have a lot of plans.
Earlier this week Etsy released an announcement talking about what they’re doing to help sellers in 2023. Today I want to give you a run-down of the most important highlights in this episode of seller news.
Today's episode is all about spring cleaning.... your Etsy shop! I certainly don't want to help you clean your house lol.
Is it time to give your Etsy shop a much-needed makeover? When was the last time you updated or even glanced at your shop sections? It's been a while, hasn't it? Don't worry, your secret is safe with me! But why should you consider refreshing your shop?
Firstly, it can boost your shop's performance by demonstrating to the algorithm that you're actively working on your store. Additionally, it will help your shop appear more attractive and up-to-date for both new and returning customers.
So, let's get started on revitalizing your Etsy shop!

Money is tight, and running an Etsy business does require coinage as they said back in the 80s. With that being said there are things you can do to run your business lean so you can squeeze out as much profit as possible.
Here are the top tips I cover in this week's podcast:
- Keep inventory low. Handmade sellers should have little or no inventory until they know what sells.
- Vintage sellers need more inventory but make sure you're buying what is selling. Use eBay for comps.
- Do not buy postage at the post office or UPS. Use etsy or third-party shippers such as pirate ship.
- Buy packaging in bulk online, not locally. Amazon or supplyhut.com are good places to start.
- Use a thermal printer. It's a bigger cost up front but there will be tons of savings long term.
- Do everything yourself, and outsource later. If you outsource from the onset you’ll always have to rely on someone else.
- Don’t run ads… right away.
- Use your smartphone and not a fancy camera.
Snag my free guide that will help you get your first 100 sales on Etsy! This is a great resource for someone with little or sales. It'll also give you some fantastic best practices even if you have over 100 sales. Get it here:

Making money online, specifically on Etsy may seem easy or at least that’s how it’s often presented. Just like how it may be presented as easy to own a mansion, Ferrari, or spend every day on the beach collecting passive income…
I’ve been around the Etsy game for a long time. I've been selling since 2014 to be exact. I’ve been around the commerce game even longer, since 2000… So I’ve learned a few things along the way.. or at least I’d like to think so.
During that time I’ve failed a bunch, made tons of mistakes, and have also seen many other sellers do the same.
In today’s age, I think starting a business or Etsy shop is a little different than years ago. Mainly because we live in the age of social media or social perceptions rather.
This is why I want to do this episode and talk about the dark side of selling on etsy. I don’t want to be all doom and gloom, but I do want to set the record straight. I want to ground you so to speak.
So what do I mean by the dark side of etsy? Mainly, I mean the negatives that aren’t talked about enough that most sellers have to overcome before they EVER find success on the platform. But knowing these and being prepared for them is a great step in the right direction. Don't miss this episode!
Don't forget to get this awesome, free guide on how to get your first 100 sales on etsy. Learn what to do to reach 100 sales with some motivation mixed in! https://www.handmadeandbeyond.com/100sales It’ll definitely help counteract some of the negativity I talk about in this episode which I usually try to stay away from.
In today's episode of seller news, I want to talk about the newly released American Customer Satisfaction Index.
This report is a barometer for how satisfied customers are with retailers, specifically in 2022. This is good information for sellers since happy customers usually equate to return customers. How do Etsy and its competitors compare?
Etsy has also released the Q4 and final year financial data. This information is vital to see how they are performing as a company. As an Etsy seller, it's important to know if they are thriving financially since no company can exist for long without continuing to make money. I want to know that I can count on Etsy as a revenue source for years to come. I'll go over all the important highlights so you don't have to!
All that and more in this edition of seller news!
Are you looking for an easy way to get a revenue boost with your current Etsy shop? Great! I can’t imagine you not wanting this… lol.
What is the magical revenue boost strategy you speak of?
It’s cross-listing. You can use the inventory that you already have and spread it out to different sales channels. This gives you the potential to reach more buyers and make more sales. Today I want to provide you with some pros and cons (yes cons because I want to be objective and it may not be for everyone) and give you the platform I use to save you a ton of time!

There are 3 factors to consider when it comes to pricing:
- What are your costs?
- What’s your profit margin?
- What’s the market/competition doing?
PRO TIP: This exercise should be done early in your journey to ensure your niche has enough PM to be sustainable. Shoot for at least a 30% PM or more.
Where to start:
- Find your costs
Next:
- Use this method to give you an idea of a starting price:
- Costs x 2 = Wholesale price
- Costs x 4 = Retail price
Next:

How do you determine what to sell? Do you have a strategy to help you find and create products for your niche that will be successful?
Today I want to throw you a lifeline and give you the 3 step process I use to find products to sell in my niche that will have the BEST chances of success.
Step 1: There are 3 types of products you should be focusing on. They are new (to your shop), seasonal/holiday, or similar. Decide what type of product you want to sell or at least have a few keywords in mind or subject matter in mind. Preferably have at least 3 ideas.
Step 2: Do product/keyword research. Use the Etsy search bar or Alura. Alura will give you valuable sold stats and more information than the search bar.
Step 3: Pick the idea that is performing the best according to sales/search volume. Create the product and get it listed. Doing these steps will give you the BEST chance that your new product will sell.
This fresh edition of Etsy Seller News will not disappoint!
I bring you all the big 2023 Etsy trends that you can capitalize on this year to hopefully get a nice boost in sales. I give you some important holiday dates you can use for sales or product creation.
I also talk about a brand new handmade marketplace you may want to check out and talk about package delivering drones... Yes, you heard that right.
All that and more!
Passive income, make money while you sleep, it’s easy… Well, I want to give it to you straight so you have the right expectations and know if it’s right for you.
Print on demand is hugely popular because for one it’s extremely easy to set up a POD business. But also I think many are sold on the dream of passive income with POD businesses.
Today I want to give you some real numbers (my numbers) when it comes to using POD vs doing your own manufacturing/production so you have the right expectations.
I am going to break down the exact profit margins, costs, and everything else you need to know.
If you're thinking about running or already running a POD business, this episode is a must-watch!

Lastly, I'll talk about the pretty cool year in review Etsy feature you should check out!
You don't want to miss this episode. I know I always say that, but seriously this one is sooo good :-)
I get asked this all the time by other Etsy Sellers. What do I spend my time on and how much time? This is such a seemingly mundane thing, but probably one of my biggest struggles and things that hurt me early on in my etsy journey.
I didn't realize how important it was to not only plan out your day but do it in a strategic way. Today I want to help you do this and give the EXACT strategy I use to strategically plan out my days, weeks, and months. I'll also give you the 3 areas every Etsy shop owner should be focusing on each week to make the BIGGEST, positive impact. This may not seem like a big deal but it will be a game-changer in your business once you implement it!

First, I'm sorry the audio got a little wonky... more BS lol.
As 2022 comes to a close I wanted to reflect on my crazy year. Crazy is probably an understatement! Today I talk about my decision to sell my house, move into a travel trailer, move into my in-laws, build a new home and how that impacted my Etsy business. And I totally forgot to mention in the video that I also got married.. oops lol. All this chaos has taught me much about myself, adversity, positivity, and problem solving. All of which will help me for years to come in my business. I hope you too can learn from my 2022 journey.
Do you use or are you thinking about using Etsy plus? Do you even know what it is?
Then today’s episode is just for you! I'll break it all down for you including the features, benefits, cost, and misconceptions of Etsy plus so you don't have to.
Today's episode is all about the Etsy algorithm.
I want to help decode and simplify this mythical beast, give you misconceptions to avoid, help you understand how it impacts your shop, and show you how to leverage it for future success.

I want to go through my yearly sales numbers with you so you can see how long it took me to get to $100k a year on Etsy. You'll also get a behind-the-scenes look at what I was doing in my biz at that time…
This is the iceberg episode. I often talk about the iceberg concept because it’s so relevant, especially today. You are bombarded with the top of the iceberg content on social media. The iceberg is only seeing the success and none of the failure or real stuff that's going on. People are driving fancy cars, have big houses, and show stacks of cash making it seem like making money online is so easy. These people if they’re telling the truth aren’t the norm and again if they’re really millionaires are definitely only telling you part of the story. They’re leaving out all the failures, struggles, and time it took to make that money.
Today I want to take you through my Etsy business revenue year by year and give you a little behind-the-scenes context to what was really happening.
This video is meant to do two things. Inspire you and give you the right expectations. The right expectations are most commonly what’s missing with new Etsy sellers or people trying to make money online.
It's time again for a new episode of Etsy Seller News!

Have you ever had deconstructed food? It is food that is presented in a separated way and not all mixed together. You can better see all the ingredients. I promise this isn’t turning into a cooking show lol. There is a point to this. For example, deconstructed egg salad has the ingredients layered and not mixed together.
You can use this same concept to create your own Etsy business and figure out what to sell. How? Well, you deconstructed it of course.
Today I will give you 7 steps to deconstruct and start your own Etsy business. This is the same process I used when creating my Etsy business!

Like any e-commerce platform, Etsy restricts what you can and cannot sell. It's important to know what these restrictions are so you don't get your listings taken down or even worse your shop suspended/closed.
Some of what is restricted may be obvious such as trademarked items or guns. But I really wanted to do this episode to talk about the things that are less obvious. These are the items that you have to be careful of accidentally selling. And unfortunately, the excuse of not knowing won't help your case if your shop gets closed because you're selling a restricted item.

This subject may be controversial, especially in the social media age.
But I also know that many new Etsy sellers put a lot of their time and energy into social media when they should be spending it on their business. Social media can be a distraction and prevent you from moving your business forward.
In today's episode, I want to discuss if it's the right time for social media in your business and give you some great alternatives to improve sales without it.

This is the burning question that many Etsy sellers want to know.
The truth may surprise you. You CAN make Etsy your full-time job, but few sellers will. In today's episode I dive into what prevents Etsy sellers from going full-time, the process I went through to take my Etsy business full-time 4 years ago, and the pros/cons of going full-time with your business.

Welcome to an all-new episode of Etsy Seller News!
Here's what's covered in this episode:
USPS holiday price increases Oct 5th through the week after Christmas and then back up in the middle of January. The cost depends on weight and distance.
Also, they're getting rid of 15K jobs but they'll still be able to handle shipping with no delays…
Etsy updates feed:
Etsy released a statement last week explaining the importance and how the updates feed works for buyers so sellers can take advantage.
The “Etsy Updates feed” notifies shoppers of updates to sellers with whom they’ve interacted (through either favoriting one of their items or by following their shop).
Etsy wrote: “While the Updates feed isn’t a new feature, we’ve spent the last year making improvements to make it easier for buyers to get notified about your shop and encourage them to revisit your items and make a purchase. In fact, we’ve seen that the Updates feature can help bring buyers back to shop from you again!”
In order to appear in the feed, sellers can do one of several things:
-
Run a sale
-
Send a coupon
-
Add new items
-
Restock items
Visitors to Etsy can view their Updates feed by clicking on the bell icon in the navigation bar – if there are new notifications, it will display a number next to the icon to draw attention to it
Bad buyers? eBay is implementing a predictive approach to help find and eliminate bad buyers.
eBay will also use third-party vendors to identify shoppers who are engaging in bad buying behavior on platforms outside of eBay.
Bednowitz described three types of “bad buyer” behavior:
1) The buyer files a false SNAD claim (the buyer files a not-as-described claim when in fact it’s a remorse return).
2) The buyer returns a used or damaged item.
3) The buyer returns an empty box or a different item.
Will Etsy do something similar down the road? I hope so...

This shop has 145k sales, which equates to 2.85 million in sales!

More Etsy changes are here!
ALL online platforms are constantly changing and will always be changing. It's important to keep this in mind when selling because if you don't like change, you won't like selling online!
I'm a glass half full kinda guy and I like to give Etsy the benefit of the doubt with changes. I do believe that they try to do what's best for buyers and sellers, not because they are the Mother Teresa of companies, but because it impacts their bottom line if people are unhappy. This also doesn't mean that they won't get it wrong from time to time and have to fix it.
With all that being said, this episode covers the newest changes so you know how they'll impact your business.
Like this podcast? Don't forget to leave a review! I read them all and really appreciate your support.
I get asked a bunch if POD shops can actually make money on Etsy... My answer is yes and no. Just like any business, there is no guarantee. Some shops make a lot of money and some make no money. Much of a POD shop's success comes down to the owner. There are a lot of variables that helps to promote success or failure.
Today I want to break down some pros and cons of starting a POD business so you can decide if this model is right for you. After that, much of your success will come from how you set up and run your POD business. I do believe anyone can run a successful POD business, but it won't come easy or fast.

I get a lot of questions about sellers wanting to start their own domain outside of Etsy. Now, with so many options this is fairly easy to do, but how do you know which option is best for you? Two of the most common options with Etsy sellers are Pattern and Shopify.
I have personally used both and figured it’d be good to break them both down for you and give you the pros and cons of each.
This episode is an epic battle of Pattern VS. Shopify!

Etsy search has changed to include listing descriptions. This is an important SEO change.
Here's what's covered in this podcast:
Do’s and Don’ts:
-DO try to incorporate relevant keywords in the first few sentences of your listings.
-DON'T copy your title verbatim into your description.
-DON'T just list keywords you want to rank for.
-DO write sentences talking about your product that naturally incorporate relevant, important keywords.
-Do write for humans not robots.
-Do continue to include additional, relevant information about your products for your buyers such as specs, washing instructions, ordering instructions, etc. Just add that after your first few sentences describing your product.
You can use bulk editing tools such as Vela to speed things up. I’ll include the link in the show notes. You can bulk edit in Etsy but it doesn’t allow you to put your listings in a list form and edit each one quickly as Vela does. It’s more for mass edits of the same information which is the opposite of what you want to do.

Believe it or not all products sold solve some type of problem although it may not be quite clear what the problem is. Granted some problems are very small and others are very big. Nonetheless, understanding what problems your products solve and the solutions it brings to the table allows you to market to your customers better.
Knowing the problems and solutions helps position your products better to customers, convince them YOUR product is best for them, and reassure them they're making the right decision.
In return, you'll make more sales and have happier customers.
In today's episode, I talk about how to identify what problems your products solve and give you my 3 step problem solving process.
As I mentioned in this episode, I want to give you my free customer avatar guide. A simple questionnaire checklist to help you better identify your avatar which will help you bring a product to market that solves their problems in the future and better understand how your current products do that as well.

Reviews are super important to an Etsy shop's success. They help build trust with future customers but also help with SEO. The Etsy algorithm sends more traffic to shops that have a 5 star review average. Why? Well, 5 star review shops have highly satisfied customers which are good for that shop and good for Etsy. The more buyers are pleased, the higher chance they'll return and buy from Etsy again. But it's tough getting reviews, especially early on which can be frustrating knowing how important they are. Today, I want to go over 3 ways you can get customers to leave more reviews which in return, will help your shop grow.
Also, I want to give you my free 5 star review formula. It's a downloadable guide that will help you get more amazing reviews! Get it here: https://www.handmadeandbeyond.com/reviewformula

Everyone is searching for the elusive golden goose in today's age of limitless opportunity.
We chase shiny objects, we chase influencers, we chase squirrels... lol. The sad reality is most of that doesn’t lead us anywhere.
When in fact what most business owners should be chasing is the OLD tried and true way of increasing sales, which is email marketing.
In today's episode, I talk about 3 reasons why email marketing is still king and why you should implement it in your business.
1.) You can’t do anything without email. Anything you sign up for requires it. All those shiny new objects require it. Anytime something new comes along ppl say email is dead but it’s not going anywhere. You will always need an email which is why you should have it as part of your marketing plan.
2.) Email still converts 3 times better than any other platform. That’s 3 times as many reasons to get on board. Sure it isn’t magic and you have to learn the skills of email marketing just like anything else. But it’s like riding a bike. It can be easily learned if you’re willing.
3.) When you build an email list it is yours. Facebook doesn’t decide who to show your post to. You don’t have to worry about getting shut down and losing your audience like on a social media platform. Your audience (as long as they stay opted in) will be with you and that’s powerful.

Today I want to talk about how I handle lost package issues so it could help you if it happens.
It's safe to say I've been in the Etsy "game" for quite a while now. 8 years to be exact... In that time I've learned a bunch. Mostly from many mistakes.. lol.

This is something that new and current Etsy sellers get scared about.
First, understand that ANY e-commerce platform can get shut down if you don’t follow the rules. People act like Etsy is so harsh and usually say I’ll just open my own website. Your own website has a host, usually has a third-party builder it runs off like Shopify, Square Space, etc. You don’t control those and they can shut you down as well.
All Etsy shops get shut down because they did not follow Etsy’s selling policies. Understand that it’s HARD to get shut down and you don’t have to worry if you’re doing things on the up and up. I know you still may worry because you hear horror stories online, but again those people weren’t following the policies lol.
Let’s dive into the most common reasons shops get shut down so you can make sure you’re doing the right things with your Etsy business.
- Copyright/trademark infringement
- Selling stuff that’s not vintage, or stuff you didn’t make and/or design
- Selling stuff that’s not allowed on Etsy
- Too many customer service cases by customers
- Too many bad reviews

This is something I’m battling with a lot now in my business since I have grown so much. I am very type A and controlling when it comes to every aspect of my business so it’s hard to give someone else that responsibility.
Technology has made it much easier to outsource now more than ever. Here are a couple of common questions and tips I get on outsourcing.
When should you start to outsource? Either you get too big and can’t do everything yourself (a good problem to have) or you want to focus on the big picture to grow and the menial tasks are slowing you down.
What should you outsource? I look at outsourcing as a very big picture. I think many small business owners think of outsourcing “business stuff” when if you look at what you’re doing, a lot of your time is probably being spent on non-business stuff preventing you from working on your business which is preventing growth. There's a lot of time spent on housework, chores, cooking, driving, etc. Start there first.
Then, look at your entire business and what tasks you routinely do. What are the $10 hour jobs that someone else can do? What is your special sauce/skill that makes the biggest impact in your business that’s a $100 an hour job? For example, if you do all the designing of your product, that’s something that you’re going to continue to do and probably don’t want to outsource. But do you really need to package your stuff to ship? Do you need to be the one to run or post on social media if you are only really interested in designing/creating?
How to outsource? Like I said before technology has made this much easier. After you figure out what you’re going to outsource or have a plan for what you want to outsource in the future. Use the resources out there to your advantage to outsource. Here are a few:
For chores/housework, etc. Thumbtack is a great app to hire trustworthy people based on reviews. I’ve used this app dozens of times with no issues.
For one and done tasks use www.fiverr.com. Things like creating a logo, creating photo mock-ups, etc. Usually paid for each project.
For more long-term tasks and projects www.upwork.com is good. This is stuff like someone to run your social media or copywriter to do your email marketing, etc. Usually paid by the hour or project.

It's time for another quick question Friday episode to help you with your Etsy biz! Today's question is whether it's best to use multiple listing variations or put up separate Etsy listings for each variation. Great question! Listen to hear my response.

What’s going on LL here and welcome back to the podcast. Today I am talking about math lol. But this is good math I promise. Simple math when it comes to your business can make goals seem more obtainable and really take some of the pressure off. Let’s dive into today’s show…
Remember in school when you took geometry or algebra and you wondered how the heck that would help you in the real world… maybe you were stupid like me and took pre-calculus and stats as well.. Well, you were right.. most of that math is useless practically. But I find myself using a ton of basic math to help me set goals and run my business. I am honestly obsessed with it. Breaking things down into bite sizes pieces just takes a lot of stress away.
Most people make the mistake of looking at the whole piece of the pie when starting an online business but you really have to work backward. You don’t show an entire pizza in your mouth all at once do you? Hopefully not. You take one bite at a time. But too often I see people try to show the entire business pizza in their mouths lol.
Goal salary? Maybe start with what you’re making now or made. Avg USA income is 50k year. Let’s use that. Also, keep in mind that with taxes you don’t take home 50k a year. It’s probably more like 35K.
Goal 50k a year
That’s $4166 a month
$1,923 bi-weekly
$961 a week
$137 a day - what’s nice is with an online business you can make money every day, not just Monday-Friday
Now $137 is much better to think about and tackle than 50k!
Now relate this to what you sell. Say your average product costs or average sale per customer is $25.
This is 5.48 sales per day on average to meet your goal of $137. Remember you only need to average this because some days you’ll do more and some days you’ll do less.
Maybe you’re doing 1 sale a day now. 4-5 more sales a day isn’t that far of a stretch.
So set your salary or revenue goal and work backward. That’s what you need to strive for and pay attention to.
Then from there, you can focus on what drives daily sales. Working on your shop, SEO improvement, more products, marketing, etc. But those are things you can add to your workflow and work on improving over time.
So if you are not making an average of 1 sale a day make that your goal first. Maybe you’re doing that, then maybe set your goal at 5, then 10, etc. Wherever you want to get to, take steps to get there. Don’t start out at 10 because it doesn’t work like that and you’ll just disappoint and demotivate yourself.

I don't often talk about how I quit my corporate job to do Etsy full-time 3 years ago. Maybe I should talk about it more, but it's really important for you to understand that it wasn't easy. I never want to lead you astray and always want to be honest with you.
Often times influencers position successes almost in a flaunty way and may talk about how easy it is for you to achieve the same success.
The truth is that it's possible sure, but not at all easy. It took me years to even get close to the point of thinking about leaving my corporate job, then probably another year of planning to make the jump.
I wanted to do this episode for you in case this is your goal someday and take you through my thought process to help you. Whatever you want your life to look like you can make it happen, but you have to start today. I believe in you. Consistent action will get you there.

This is the most boring episode of the podcast you'll hear! LOL
Just kidding, don't let the title deceive you. There's still a lot of really good nuggets in this episode. While I'm not talking about the things most sellers get excited about such as sales, traffic, SEO, etc., these 5 things are also very important for Etsy sellers to consider.
It's often that the "boring" less exciting stuff in your business will be the most impactful to your future success.

Let’s talk about spending money… on your business.
Many may not think spending money on your business is investing, but I disagree. You have to be smart about it, but putting back money in your business strategically can help you be more productive, less stressed, and of course more profitable!
Your business is like a fruit tree. You can’t just take all the fruit and not ever fertilize, prune, keep away bugs/birds, weed or the tree will probably die soon.
Your business is the same way. You have to invest and spend money for it to continue to grow. If all you do is take the profits, they probably won’t last long.
In this episode, I dive into what I invest in to continually grow my Etsy business and about how much I spend on each. This isn’t even everything. I remembered a few I missed after I recorded this. I’ll get them on the next go-round.

I don't know everything about Etsy and probably never will, but I've been in the game long enough for alarm bells to go off when I hear really bad advice.

Hey everyone!
In case you haven't seen there are big changes coming for those sellers that ship to the European Union. Starting July 1st you will have to include a tariff number on your customs forms. Here is an article from Etsy explaining the details: https://www.etsy.com/seller-handbook/article/new-customs-requirement-for-the-european/1016808637268 The short of it basically means, depending on what you sell and the materials, you will have to select the correct tariff number to include on your customs info. So you will have to look up each number to ensure you're putting the correct one or it could delay the shipment. Here is a website where you can look up tariff numbers depending on what you sell. Make sure you drill down from the category to the chapter to get to the tariff numbers. https://www.tariffnumber.com This only applies to those that ship to the EU. Hope this helps!

I feel like for the last several weeks everyone has been talking about the IOS iPhone privacy update. Most businesses have been expressing concern because it will most likely take away some of their ability to target customers as detailed as they could before.
What's more, is that this could impact Etsy businesses as well in several ways.
In this episode, I talk about the IOS update, what's changing, what to be on the lookout for, and some suggestions on how to approach these changes.

Repeat customers can mean a nice boost in revenue, which is always a plus.

I think a BIG reason people fail at Etsy or any business is that they're missing their WHY. This is what keeps you going and motivated when times get tough. And believe me, they will get tough if you're in the game long enough.
There are actually two WHYS to consider. Why you want to have your own business is number 1, and number 2 is why did you decide on your business’ niche?
In today's episode, I dig deep into each so you can make sure your WHYS are on point so you can continue on your path towards success.
