I am a new seller on Etsy in 2024. Out of all the million video’s I watched, I can say that this video makes most sense & realistic. Thanks for sharing. I have subscribed to You as well.. 😊
I was very surprised that the video was THAT informative. Seriously, this is the video where I took a pen and paper and took notes. It's amazing to be able to get this information for free, because in a single video, realistic information that isn't available in many Etsy courses I've invested dollars in. Thanks a lot for your hard work!
i had made my first etsy store selling tees about two weeks ago, I am writing this in august. i am so happy to have watched your videos as I have followed and executed what you have said. although I still haven't made any sales I am aware of the dry season however my views and visits to my store have gone up considerably and has given me faith to continue. thanks allot
I opened my shop two weeks ago. I am learning how to design, publish, and list items in my store. So far I am loving it and wish I had done this a long time ago. Thank you for the videos I think they are very informational I especially like that I feel you are talking to me not screaming at me like other on here. I look forward to watching and learning more about Etsy. Thank you!
I have been on Etsy for only 2 years. First-year did about $30,000... This year just under $100,000. I never knew that there were Alt tags for images. That is crazy. Something so simple I missed all this time until I saw your video. Learned a lot with this video... going to create a new (3rd) shop... I will be putting this to work to see what happens... and will advise. Thanks for taking the time to put out your videos. They are helping sellers new and seasoned.
wow! Lets face it, you didn't exactly lose out by not using alt tags. How on earth does anyone make a living on here. I've followed advice, I've researched, i've seen stuff sell that even I can't get my head around. Still not getting sales.
@@DameHoracia I wonder the same thing! I have an Etsy shop for 2 yrs now. And I researched about SEO and use Pinterest & social media and my annual income is only $1,500! That to me is realistic for someone like who’s clueless about running a shop on Etsy. Anyone who succeeds right away have either one of the following: experience in digital marketing, has a marketing or business background, or social media savy! You must be knowledgeable one way or another! Cuz man it is hard to grow your shop! 😩
Thank you for making these, they helped me realize the things i shouldn't be doing. My shop has only been online for a month with only a few listings, but hopefully with this advise i can turn things around. Thanks
I’m a furniture maker in South Wales, been in business mainly doing commercial work. Always wanted to open an Etsy shop and this video is the best I’ve watched so far! Thanks for the content it’s got me excited about listing my products!
Good guide, this is very useful info. I've been in Etsy for ages and sold only three things ( and one of those was to my son). I've watched lots of videos which peddle the same advice but never as specific as what you've presented here. You've given a step by step plan that is actionable and I'm going to follow that and see what happens. Thank you
Thanks so much, I was getting a little discouraged watching videos from people telling the negatives about Etsy. How foolish of me to watch more than one of those videos as someone about to start up. You have mentioned a couple things like: video, product in use, it's normal to not sell anything in the first weeks, don't use etsy adds, don't make more than 20 of one item to begin with. These things really made some lightbulbs go off and/ or put my mind at ease. Thank you! Subscribed!
Thanks for this. I was becoming disheartened because all the videos I've seen until now have said how easy it is to make money with digital products. You are the only one telling the truth.
Wow I wish I’d seen this video when I first started but that’s ok now I can see where I need work and how I can make small changes to be more successful. Thank you so much!
Just opened my Etsy store. Thank you for the great tips! Some of them I knew, others were new. :) Did something wrong with my first listing, so I have to learn the hows' of online stores. A whole new world to me.
Nick, I just located your UA-cam TODAY (Jan 16, 2023)! I watched this video and your video regarding Etsy SEO In Ten Minutes. Wow, what informative and helpful information. My Etsy has been open a long time and I haven't had the courage or information I needed to really get it open and running. I believe today I have been PUSHED to GO FORWARD. Thank you so much!

Great video. I gave up on my store a month in and took a break now I'm back and determined to make it work' it's very slow but I am adding more and more stuff (I'm up to over 200 listings) as I continue to try and be more creative. I definitely need to add more personalized items in my store though
Thank you so much for this video! This provided me the motivation I needed to continue growing my Etsy Shop. No Sugar coating, just straight advice and tips. Thanks!

Thank you so much for this video. It has been one of the best Etsy guides I have watched out of the 100s I've seen and I feel even more motivated than before with your help. I appreciate you so much for sharing your knowledge and wisdom. You have a new loyal subscriber in me 🙏😊
I've started publishing on January 1st every day my digital products and, as you said, it's hard work. I started to be disappointed because I don't have a lot of traffic yet, but you're right. I have to be patient and keep publishing. (I'm just brand new!!) I have about 30 more products ready to publish, but you're right, I have to see what is working to know what to design. So I will lower a little bit on designing and keep more time on Etsy watching, observing and researching. I found your videos logical, practical and most of all, very useful. Thanks a lot!
- great tips for niche dropshipping boutiques let alone Etsy! Great video - gem tips on listing your first 100 - yes you have to go in stages and test as you go. Don’t think I’ve heard anyone talk about this ever!! 🎉😅super video!
I am ready to jump in to Etsy. I've seen a lot of videos but this is the best. In fact one guy YT keeps suggesting is just trash. Looking forward to watching your other videos. Thank you!
I follow your channel for a while now. It seems that I came across you a little bit late. I opened my photographic store in October last year. In my first phase (without any previous knowledge) I put bit over 100 item to my physical wall print shop. At the beginning I use a lot SM too. Since the moment I found you channel I change completely strategy and also store design. First I decided to split my shop into to sections physical print and digital one. Than I stopped SM and started to focus on SEO, general design and one day new listing formula. In October I had around 160 visits to my shop, next month in Noviembre i reached almost 190, in December I hit over 320 and I sold two digital files in Xmas time. January started again bit slowly, 81 visits so far, so 8 visits per day roughly. I am not in rush with my store, I know that product I sell is very personal and definitely not high demand. I will keep with one day listing strategy until I reach 220 item in my store so, few more days and than I want list one photo each second or third day to keep regular routine going. I am not sure if my statistic numbers are correct or if I do everything right, but I try follow you advice. Big thanks for sharing your experience with us.
I just saw your video, a week after I started my Etsy store.. Ahjea Dior Baby. Thank you, I learned a lot. I now understand what I need to do. I thought I could only enter 10 items at a time. I plan to go back and watch more of your videos. Thank you.
Very clear and concise. Absolutely helpful. Thank you. Watched alot on this topic, and this is refreshing and full of smart advice, all in one video. At the end of the video, I particularly liked hearing about enjoying the process. You're SEO in 10 minutes was extremely helpful and got beyond the confusion and mystery, much of which is peddled via online business SEO which I've never trusted so much. New starter, about the open, confirmed my decisions and focused on improving and articulating my product far more accurately. Thank you again.
I've watched many Etsy store videos and this is by far the best intro I've seen, thank you so much for the helpful (and realistic) advice! So grateful to have found your channel and looking forward to exploring your other videos.
Thank you so much for this video! It’s a pity I haven’t seen it before I’ve opened my shop but I’ll still try to implement your advices. Hope it’ll work 🤞🏻🤞🏻 thank you!
You're a gem. Just came aross your channel because I really want to start my shop.Have been trying to set up my shop and was confused. Other content creators made it seem like a set it and forget it. Just subscribed to your channel. Thank you.
I have never been a big user of Etsy, but I have also been considering starting an Etsy store lately. You seem like a very trustworthy and knowledgeable person and this is the first time that I've actually thought. Maybe I can do this. Thank you so much!.
I really enjoyed this video as it is simple without a bunch of unusual terms someone not familiar with Etsy would use and lays out specific things without being overwhelming. I just started an Etsy store to try and make some extra income to help my parents out who are nearing retirement and need more funds so this was helpful in how to get it better organized and (hopefully) off the ground as I have had no sales but haven’t really known what sequence to do things in to get to that
I am sucker for this channel, accurate and non BS information in every second. Started my etsy shop 15 days ago. Made 3 sales. I sell on digital category, somedays are really slow. But i managed to get some traffic going. 1.190 views and 146 visits. But i wonder, is this enough? Why visits are so low compared to views? Please let me know! Thank you 🌸
Thanks for letting me know you are enjoying my channel, I appreciate it. Those stats are fine it means that when people get to your listings they are looking at lots of items. Concentrate on listing more items, and not on sending social media traffic to your store.
@@etsyconsultant thank you so much! Will do, forgot to mention, I have 55 listings and will list more! Trying to do everything you said. I am forever grateful, God bless 🙏🏼✨🌸🌼
Hi I just watched your video and I’m really glad I did. The step by step you explained really help me to think about my brand and shop and I decided to stripped back and start it again, doing the right things and following your 100 days plan. I’m gonna start now and will let you know how it goes 👍🏻👍🏻
I'd also add that you should 10000% consider growing your social media presence. I started my shop selling stickers at the beginning of this month (July 2023). I've already made 100 sales, over $500. I started a tiktok where I post videos of my stickers(not even good videos, they aren't very aesthetic, I have room to improve there), but 62% of my traffic comes from social media. I wouldn't have a fraction of the sales I got if it weren't for tiktok!
Hi Steph, thanks for your comment. With respect I advise against this for new and growing Etsy sellers, please watch this video, if you haven't seen it: ua-cam.com/video/dD1J6QaeQHg/v-deo.html
I started a nursery digital print shop in the first week of May, only sales are from friends and family. Im hopeful and focused. Working on adding more prints. Thank you for the information.
I started my shop 10 days ago got my first sale yesterday, I've been following your videos and adding 1 listing a day but going to start 2 a day from next week when I've given up my job(working my notice at the moment).
Hey Gemma, that is great news, glad to hear it. Do not increase listing speed though, just list 1 per day, you do not want to end up getting to 100 items too quickly and have hardly any sales.
I opened my store on Dec 1st, had 17 sales that month most of them the last two weeks. This month I have 13 sales so far. Thank you so much for this info, I see that I can fix a few things. Do you think is good time to image alt tags? It is a downloadable digital product
Thanks you so much to solve so much questions I confusing about, you are the best youtuber talking about etsy I ever met. Information so dense and practical even more than I am in the university. Happy to hearing your toturial as I just begin the etsy as an architect student's part time work. Cheers!
Thank you for all of the helpful content here and in your other videos 🙏 I started my store about 2 weeks ago now and am up to 14 listed items. I'm feeling relieved knowing that the low traffic I'm seeing so far is completely normal and I can just keep plugging away at the listings in preparation for the holiday season. Your videos are just what I needed to get my mind cleared today and refocus on a game plan. Cheers!
I was just about to jump into all that Ranking minefield! I am just at the very start, 2 weeks in, so glad I didn't waste all that time in ranking sites! You information just came at the right time for me! thanks I will keep watching now I have discovered your videos! :))
Thank you SO much for this. My husband had a second stroke and I've got to get this right...this provides a solid base for my efforts and I'm beyond grateful for your advice.
@@etsyconsultant I wrote The Lincoln Clone and was considering a mystery book gift - signed and possibly with a beaded bookmark - since it'd provide exposure to the book as a perk, but I'll put my art education to work with home decor after listening to this. Of course you can't guarantee success! But you sure up the ante for it. Thanks again.
Absolutely loved this. Thank you. NathaliesStudioAU will be my store At this stage Im planning on releasing physical products that I have already created. These are based on my paintings. You have inspired me to include digital downloads too as I have published a few books on Amazon and kindle and could sell digital downloads of my books too, or things people can print at home. Let the 2024 journey begin.
Thank you for this excellent video which helps me to have realistic expectations. I just opened my store and sure enough, no sales, no traffic. I`ll keep improving it as per your advice.
Small Town Candle House I just opened an etsy store and have two styles of candles and wax melts I think I have a better understanding of what to do in my store and want to thank you for this video.
Hi Nick, I have 37 products in my store, but I'm struggling to upload 1 per day as they take a lot of time to produce.......and apparently the housework needs to be done and tea on at a reasonable hour! (What's so unreasonable about 9:30pm?) Also, after watching some of your wonderfully informative videos, I now realise I need to go and edit my previous listings. I also need to learn to make videos. It all seems so overwhelming sometimes, but I am determined to do something each day. Thanks so much for all this brilliant, matter of fact,concise content.
Great information as always! I’m one of those Sellers who don’t include a video. This is because they take so long to upload into the listing! 😯 It’s very time consuming.
Hi! I’m coming back to this video after starting my Etsy store just over 3 months ago. Your tips are definitely so solid! I just hit 34 sales, a little under $2000 in net profit this month and I have about 110 listings in my shop right now .Can you PLEASE do a video on how to scale new stores to bringing in a full time income? My goal is to get this store to 8-10k in monthly in revenue within the next 6 months. I know it’s possible because my competition is doing that plus more. Do you suggest I keep listing ? The stores in my niche that are bringing in the big bucks have about 300 listings so that’s the goal for me . Pleas make a video about this
Hello, I found this video really helpful and encouraging, I am about two months in and continuing to list, but no sales from strangers yet. Just friends so far.
I'm very new to all of this so your video has been very helpful. I'm in Australia so I guess some of the specifics such as the summer slow-down period will be different but then we have Christmas in summer so hopefully this outweighs some of the quiet time. Thank you so much 🌷
Hi! First of all great amazing videos, you cover here so much stuff I didn't see anywhere else, amazing. Second, not sure about the turning off the offsite ads. You have to pay a cut for those ads, but if you make a sale out of them it's most likely a sale you wouldn't get otherwise, so why not leave these on?
Hi there, thanks for your comment. I can't tell who you are from your username! Please reach out to me via my website if you need anything - all confirmation has been sent. Look forward to working with you!
Excellent advice. Im currently suspended because my VISA card was hacked. I canceled my card and I think they took it as a red flag. I had my first two sales too after 2 months of working hard.. Im waiting for my appeal to be reviewed. My customer is waiting for me so staying in close communication with your customers is vital. I'll be back, I'm determined to make it work. I'm still learning and enjoying the process.
This was great! Sat through the whole shebang! So wonderfully informative and you're personality creates a learning comfort zone. I've just opened my Etsy store and and am slowly picking my way through the forest of things to do just to get up and running. I have a lovely product and a pretty solid battle plan (Thanks, in part, to you). There's clearly a lot to this but with your guidance and insight I know success is in my future.
I LOVE YOUR CONTENT so much! :-) Thank you with all my heart! So inspiring, insightful and motivational, honest and genuine. Looking forward to explore this Etsy world even more.
Thanks so much for this video and all your content on UA-cam! Quick question: when you mentioned making sure our shop and bank information match perfectly, are you referring to our name and personal information? I didn’t plan on using my shop name to open a bank account, at least not at first. Thanks for your help!
I can tell you have capitol! This is what you need before you begin! I was successful with Etsy years ago that fell apart with all the other nonsense people put on there that they got with next to no money! And rarely real quality!
Thank you for the wonderful tips. Can I use the same word for tags? For example, Christmas hat, Christmas gifts for boys, Christmas hat with dog print, something like that.
I’m so glad to have found your channel. I’ve been binge watching them. Just in time, I was about to open my Etsy store. I have a question regarding categories, should I set up categories in my store when I put up my first listing and allocate my listing to the relevant categories? Thank you so much for your tips and guidance. I really appreciate it. 😊
This is fabulous and so so helpful. I’m quite chuffed then with what I have achieved so far on my own!! I’ve found you and this will help level me up for sure. I’ve been open about a month and a half and have 64 items. I’ve got about 14 Sections m. Had 16 sales already - with a mix of friends and buyers I don’t know. I’ll keep watching your videos 🎉😊 thank you.
I was SO scared to watch this video because I just now found it and I am starting month 3. So yip, I've made some mistakes, but I've done some things right too. Quick question: I want to deactivate some listings that may be confusing the algorithm. Will my score plummet? I was thinking of deactivating 3 a day. (19 total). I got off on a tangent and need to get back to my main niche.Thank you again for this. Your insight is exactly what I - what WE need!!
Hello, I just started following your channel and find your videos enlightening. I started my store last September, fumbling a bit along the way. I know find my niche and was wondering if a name change at this point would be ill-advised. I want a name/ brand that better represents my niche and have a great idea... but don't want to execute if it will reflect negatively by Etsy's analytics? Appreciate your feedback on this! Keep up the informative content!
what a great video. Thank you so so much! I'm creating my Etsy Shop NOW. Maybe not the best time of year, since I won't be able to sell before Christmas. But hopefully next year
What a great video! Thank you for sharing your expertise. Some of the best information I have heard regarding opening and maintaining an Etsy store! Thank you for sharing😊
Paying a smaller amount more in commission but getting more sales is better, no? My products are all digital so it costs me no more for each sale (which would be a factor for others), but I'm making more sales and therefore more profit by having off site ads. I don't believe those people would have necessarily then found my Etsy shop searching on Google without them @@etsyconsultant
So I want to make and sell unique pieces of handmade jewelry. How much of each piece should I be making and selling and how big of a collection/number of items listed should I start with?
Hi there, thanks for your comment. If you haven't already I recommend that you watch my video on selling 'one of a kind items on Etsy'. With regards to how many to make it's fine to have one item made, however, I recommend that the stock is listed as at least 20. Link below: ua-cam.com/video/zPzDptXFMoM/v-deo.htmlsi=itMK-MT1mShsSBiA
Hi, Thank you for sharing useful tips, I will follow them for sure. I am a new etsy seller, opened up the store in beginning of November . I need to learn about shipping. The item I am selling is handmade and each one weighs between 400-600 grams. My concern is if the buyer purchase more than one item from my store, is there an option to add dimensions and weight at the end to calculate shipping. Each piece is so unique, so I couldn't list them together. I feel it's not fair to charge shipping for each item separately if the destination address is one. How can we work around this issue Regards 😊

Love your channel! Quick question though, when I click on the filter tab I get a ton of options but none of them are "best seller" The closest thing they have is "Star Seller" but that obviously isn't going to tell me which items are selling the most..
Hi there, thanks for commenting. Etsy recently removed the filter from the side menu. Fortunately, I made a short video on how you can still see the bestsellers: ua-cam.com/users/shorts4Kqgpo_TRxo

I am ready to jump in to Etsy. I've seen a lot of videos but this is the best. In fact one guy YT keeps suggesting is just trash. Looking forward to watching your other videos. Thank you!
Wow, thank you!
I follow your channel for a while now. It seems that I came across you a little bit late. I opened my photographic store in October last year. In my first phase (without any previous knowledge) I put bit over 100 item to my physical wall print shop. At the beginning I use a lot SM too. Since the moment I found you channel I change completely strategy and also store design. First I decided to split my shop into to sections physical print and digital one. Than I stopped SM and started to focus on SEO, general design and one day new listing formula. In October I had around 160 visits to my shop, next month in Noviembre i reached almost 190, in December I hit over 320 and I sold two digital files in Xmas time. January started again bit slowly, 81 visits so far, so 8 visits per day roughly. I am not in rush with my store, I know that product I sell is very personal and definitely not high demand. I will keep with one day listing strategy until I reach 220 item in my store so, few more days and than I want list one photo each second or third day to keep regular routine going. I am not sure if my statistic numbers are correct or if I do everything right, but I try follow you advice. Big thanks for sharing your experience with us.
Hi there Kix, thanks for sharing, and keep going!
I just saw your video, a week after I started my Etsy store.. Ahjea Dior Baby. Thank you, I learned a lot. I now understand what I need to do. I thought I could only enter 10 items at a time. I plan to go back and watch more of your videos. Thank you.
Hey Kim, glad it was helpful!
Very clear and concise. Absolutely helpful. Thank you. Watched alot on this topic, and this is refreshing and full of smart advice, all in one video. At the end of the video, I particularly liked hearing about enjoying the process. You're SEO in 10 minutes was extremely helpful and got beyond the confusion and mystery, much of which is peddled via online business SEO which I've never trusted so much. New starter, about the open, confirmed my decisions and focused on improving and articulating my product far more accurately. Thank you again.
You're welcome, glad it was helpful.
I've watched many Etsy store videos and this is by far the best intro I've seen, thank you so much for the helpful (and realistic) advice! So grateful to have found your channel and looking forward to exploring your other videos.
Hi there, thanks for your comment. Great to have you here!
Great content!, i will start doing these things now as i have only been open since April 5! Wish me luck!!
Best of luck!
This was unbelievably helpful, thank you!
Happy to hear that Siobhan
Thank you so much for this video! It’s a pity I haven’t seen it before I’ve opened my shop but I’ll still try to implement your advices. Hope it’ll work 🤞🏻🤞🏻 thank you!
Hey Nastia! I wish you best of luck!
You're a gem. Just came aross your channel because I really want to start my shop.Have been trying to set up my shop and was confused. Other content creators made it seem like a set it and forget it. Just subscribed to your channel. Thank you.
Go for it!
I have never been a big user of Etsy, but I have also been considering starting an Etsy store lately. You seem like a very trustworthy and knowledgeable person and this is the first time that I've actually thought. Maybe I can do this. Thank you so much!.
Hey Diane, go for it!
I really enjoyed this video as it is simple without a bunch of unusual terms someone not familiar with Etsy would use and lays out specific things without being overwhelming. I just started an Etsy store to try and make some extra income to help my parents out who are nearing retirement and need more funds so this was helpful in how to get it better organized and (hopefully) off the ground as I have had no sales but haven’t really known what sequence to do things in to get to that
Good luck with it, come back after Christmas and let me know how it is going.
Fantastic video, I’m a new seller and I believe if I successfully use everything I’ve learnt in this my Etsy shop will be a success.
Hi there, great to hear and good luck!
I am sucker for this channel, accurate and non BS information in every second. Started my etsy shop 15 days ago. Made 3 sales. I sell on digital category, somedays are really slow. But i managed to get some traffic going. 1.190 views and 146 visits. But i wonder, is this enough? Why visits are so low compared to views? Please let me know! Thank you 🌸
Thanks for letting me know you are enjoying my channel, I appreciate it.
Those stats are fine it means that when people get to your listings they are looking at lots of items.
Concentrate on listing more items, and not on sending social media traffic to your store.
@@etsyconsultant thank you so much! Will do, forgot to mention, I have 55 listings and will list more! Trying to do everything you said. I am forever grateful, God bless 🙏🏼✨🌸🌼
Hi I just watched your video and I’m really glad I did. The step by step you explained really help me to think about my brand and shop and I decided to stripped back and start it again, doing the right things and following your 100 days plan. I’m gonna start now and will let you know how it goes 👍🏻👍🏻
Hi Zara, great news please keep us posted with your progress!
Hi, any update? How's your store going? 🙂
I'd also add that you should 10000% consider growing your social media presence. I started my shop selling stickers at the beginning of this month (July 2023). I've already made 100 sales, over $500. I started a tiktok where I post videos of my stickers(not even good videos, they aren't very aesthetic, I have room to improve there), but 62% of my traffic comes from social media. I wouldn't have a fraction of the sales I got if it weren't for tiktok!
Hi Steph, thanks for your comment. With respect I advise against this for new and growing Etsy sellers, please watch this video, if you haven't seen it:
ua-cam.com/video/dD1J6QaeQHg/v-deo.html
I started a nursery digital print shop in the first week of May, only sales are from friends and family. Im hopeful and focused. Working on adding more prints. Thank you for the information.
Great Diana, keep me informed on your progress, and if you have a question, just reach out.
I started my shop 10 days ago got my first sale yesterday, I've been following your videos and adding 1 listing a day but going to start 2 a day from next week when I've given up my job(working my notice at the moment).
Hey Gemma, that is great news, glad to hear it. Do not increase listing speed though, just list 1 per day, you do not want to end up getting to 100 items too quickly and have hardly any sales.
I opened my store on Dec 1st, had 17 sales that month most of them the last two weeks. This month I have 13 sales so far. Thank you so much for this info, I see that I can fix a few things. Do you think is good time to image alt tags? It is a downloadable digital product
Hi Arianna thanks for your comment. If you are making daily sales or close to it then that's fine.
Real solid and honest business advice. I throughly enjoy your channel 😊
Hi there, great to hear. Thanks for the feedback!
Thanks you so much to solve so much questions I confusing about, you are the best youtuber talking about etsy I ever met. Information so dense and practical even more than I am in the university.
Happy to hearing your toturial as I just begin the etsy as an architect student's part time work.
Cheers!
Wow, thank you and good luck!
Thank you for all of the helpful content here and in your other videos 🙏 I started my store about 2 weeks ago now and am up to 14 listed items. I'm feeling relieved knowing that the low traffic I'm seeing so far is completely normal and I can just keep plugging away at the listings in preparation for the holiday season. Your videos are just what I needed to get my mind cleared today and refocus on a game plan.
Cheers!
Great to hear, keep going!
I was just about to jump into all that Ranking minefield! I am just at the very start, 2 weeks in, so glad I didn't waste all that time in ranking sites! You information just came at the right time for me! thanks I will keep watching now I have discovered your videos! :))
Welcome aboard Ally, thanks for your comment. Good luck!
This was the most informative Etsy video I have watched so far. Thank you for breaking this down and making it easy to understand.
Hey Penny, you're welcome!
This was awesome! I enjoyed every minute and I will listen to it over and over and follow these steps! Thank You for sharing!
You are so welcome!
Thank you SO much for this. My husband had a second stroke and I've got to get this right...this provides a solid base for my efforts and I'm beyond grateful for your advice.
Hi there, so sorry to hear. You're very welcome.
@@etsyconsultant I wrote The Lincoln Clone and was considering a mystery book gift - signed and possibly with a beaded bookmark - since it'd provide exposure to the book as a perk, but I'll put my art education to work with home decor after listening to this. Of course you can't guarantee success! But you sure up the ante for it. Thanks again.
Absolutely loved this. Thank you. NathaliesStudioAU will be my store At this stage Im planning on releasing physical products that I have already created. These are based on my paintings. You have inspired me to include digital downloads too as I have published a few books on Amazon and kindle and could sell digital downloads of my books too, or things people can print at home. Let the 2024 journey begin.
Wonderful news, thanks for sharing, and good luck!
I really want to open an Etsy store, today I have learned some value lessons about how to go about it.
Hi Barbara, that's awesome! Always happy to help!
Really enjoyed your practical suggestions, I will take another look at what I’m doing on Etsy
Hey, I wish you best of luck!
Wow! So many valuable inputs being shared in this video. As a newbie, this was eye opening. Thank you so much, u got a new subscriber!
Thanks Hafifa! I strongly recommend you watch through my videos, there will be a few more eye opening moments for you.
Thank you for this excellent video which helps me to have realistic expectations. I just opened my store and sure enough, no sales, no traffic. I`ll keep improving it as per your advice.
Hi there Anna, yes keep going, if you can do something in your store every day.
Small Town Candle House
I just opened an etsy store and have two styles of candles and wax melts I think I have a better understanding of what to do in my store and want to thank you for this video.
You're welcome Jerry, good luck!
Hi Nick, I have 37 products in my store, but I'm struggling to upload 1 per day as they take a lot of time to produce.......and apparently the housework needs to be done and tea on at a reasonable hour! (What's so unreasonable about 9:30pm?) Also, after watching some of your wonderfully informative videos, I now realise I need to go and edit my previous listings. I also need to learn to make videos. It all seems so overwhelming sometimes, but I am determined to do something each day. Thanks so much for all this brilliant, matter of fact,concise content.
No problem at all, update me on your progress in a month or two.
@@etsyconsultant Will do, thank you
Great information as always!
I’m one of those Sellers who don’t include a video. This is because they take so long to upload into the listing! 😯
It’s very time consuming.
Hi there thanks for your comment. It doesn't take too long my end.
Hi! I’m coming back to this video after starting my Etsy store just over 3 months ago. Your tips are definitely so solid! I just hit 34 sales, a little under $2000 in net profit this month and I have about 110 listings in my shop right now .Can you PLEASE do a video on how to scale new stores to bringing in a full time income? My goal is to get this store to 8-10k in monthly in revenue within the next 6 months. I know it’s possible because my competition is doing that plus more. Do you suggest I keep listing ? The stores in my niche that are bringing in the big bucks have about 300 listings so that’s the goal for me . Pleas make a video about this
No problem, the video you need is here:
ua-cam.com/video/q37tqoxFV5U/v-deo.html
I started my Store in August. It's reassuring to know that the summer months are supposed to be super slow, even for Etsy as well
Hi there yes it is. Thanks for watching!
Hello, I found this video really helpful and encouraging, I am about two months in and continuing to list, but no sales from strangers yet. Just friends so far.
Keep listing, slowly and steadily, Q4 is around the corner.
I'm very new to all of this so your video has been very helpful. I'm in Australia so I guess some of the specifics such as the summer slow-down period will be different but then we have Christmas in summer so hopefully this outweighs some of the quiet time. Thank you so much 🌷
Hi Helen, you are welcome!
Great information as I muster the courage to get my Etsy store up and going. Thank you.
Go for it! Good luck Judi!
Thank you so much!! This is so helpful. You gave us the information we need to get started and stay passionate and motivated.
You are so welcome!
Thank you so much for setting realistic expectations . Much appreciated 🙏
My pleasure 😊
This video has been more productive than all of Brands Creators videos combined
Thanks for letting me know, I appreciate it.
Hi!
First of all great amazing videos, you cover here so much stuff I didn't see anywhere else, amazing.
Second, not sure about the turning off the offsite ads. You have to pay a cut for those ads, but if you make a sale out of them it's most likely a sale you wouldn't get otherwise, so why not leave these on?
Hi there, thanks for your comment. I can't tell who you are from your username! Please reach out to me via my website if you need anything - all confirmation has been sent. Look forward to working with you!
@@etsyconsultant Hi! I think you got the wrong person on this :)
Just starting, so happy I found your channel :)
Thanks Matthew.
Excellent advice.
Im currently suspended because my VISA card was hacked. I canceled my card and I think they took it as a red flag. I had my first two sales too after 2 months of working hard.. Im waiting for my appeal to be reviewed. My customer is waiting for me so staying in close communication with your customers is vital.
I'll be back, I'm determined to make it work. I'm still learning and enjoying the process.
Sorry to hear that, there can be many bumps along the way. Keep going!
This was great! Sat through the whole shebang! So wonderfully informative and you're personality creates a learning comfort zone. I've just opened my Etsy store and and am slowly picking my way through the forest of things to do just to get up and running. I have a lovely product and a pretty solid battle plan (Thanks, in part, to you). There's clearly a lot to this but with your guidance and insight I know success is in my future.
Glad it was helpful! Good luck and keep us posted with your progress
I LOVE YOUR CONTENT so much! :-) Thank you with all my heart! So inspiring, insightful and motivational, honest and genuine. Looking forward to explore this Etsy world even more.
You are so welcome!
I’m here to learn but I want to say that cat plush is adorable ☺️
Hello Joan, it is, isn’t it! Haha
Thanks so much for this video and all your content on UA-cam! Quick question: when you mentioned making sure our shop and bank information match perfectly, are you referring to our name and personal information? I didn’t plan on using my shop name to open a bank account, at least not at first. Thanks for your help!
Hi, yes personal financial details.
Seriously thinking about opening an ecommerce store. Thank you for this awesome advise!
Thanks April, go for it!
Just starting this journey, looking forward to learning more from you. I’ve definitely made some notes today
Welcome aboard!
Thanks!
@@etsyconsultant
I can tell you have capitol! This is what you need before you begin! I was successful with Etsy years ago that fell apart with all the other nonsense people put on there that they got with next to no money! And rarely real quality!
Hi there, thanks for your comment!
Thank you for the wonderful tips. Can I use the same word for tags? For example, Christmas hat, Christmas gifts for boys, Christmas hat with dog print, something like that.
Hi Sophie, please watch this, it will explain everything for you:

I’m so glad to have found your channel. I’ve been binge watching them. Just in time, I was about to open my Etsy store. I have a question regarding categories, should I set up categories in my store when I put up my first listing and allocate my listing to the relevant categories? Thank you so much for your tips and guidance. I really appreciate it. 😊
Hey Christine! Thanks for being here. Yes, set up shop sections as soon as you are able (IE have enough listings to put in the sections).
This is fabulous and so so helpful. I’m quite chuffed then with what I have achieved so far on my own!! I’ve found you and this will help level me up for sure. I’ve been open about a month and a half and have 64 items. I’ve got about 14 Sections m. Had 16 sales already - with a mix of friends and buyers I don’t know. I’ll keep watching your videos 🎉😊 thank you.
Hey Karen, congratulations and thank you for your comment!
I was SO scared to watch this video because I just now found it and I am starting month 3. So yip, I've made some mistakes, but I've done some things right too. Quick question: I want to deactivate some listings that may be confusing the algorithm. Will my score plummet? I was thinking of deactivating 3 a day. (19 total). I got off on a tangent and need to get back to my main niche.Thank you again for this. Your insight is exactly what I - what WE need!!
Hi LJ! You can slowly cycle those listings out, yes, always make sure you replace with new items that are niche relevant.
Will do - think you! @@etsyconsultant
Hello, I just started following your channel and find your videos enlightening. I started my store last September, fumbling a bit along the way. I know find my niche and was wondering if a name change at this point would be ill-advised. I want a name/ brand that better represents my niche and have a great idea... but don't want to execute if it will reflect negatively by Etsy's analytics? Appreciate your feedback on this! Keep up the informative content!
Hi, changing your name will be fine, thanks for being here!
Incredibly well done.
Thank you!
what a great video. Thank you so so much! I'm creating my Etsy Shop NOW. Maybe not the best time of year, since I won't be able to sell before Christmas. But hopefully next year
Good luck!
You spoke about professions - is that referring to products that speak to teachers, nurses, etc?
Correct Candice.
What a great video! Thank you for sharing your expertise. Some of the best information I have heard regarding opening and maintaining an Etsy store! Thank you for sharing😊
Hi Paulette, you are most welcome!
Really interested to know why you're against off site ads?
Hi there, thanks for your comment. They take a high % of your profit.
Paying a smaller amount more in commission but getting more sales is better, no? My products are all digital so it costs me no more for each sale (which would be a factor for others), but I'm making more sales and therefore more profit by having off site ads. I don't believe those people would have necessarily then found my Etsy shop searching on Google without them @@etsyconsultant
So I want to make and sell unique pieces of handmade jewelry. How much of each piece should I be making and selling and how big of a collection/number of items listed should I start with?
Hi there, thanks for your comment. If you haven't already I recommend that you watch my video on selling 'one of a kind items on Etsy'. With regards to how many to make it's fine to have one item made, however, I recommend that the stock is listed as at least 20.

Hi,
Thank you for sharing useful tips, I will follow them for sure.
I am a new etsy seller, opened up the store in beginning of November . I need to learn about shipping.
The item I am selling is handmade and each one weighs between 400-600 grams. My concern is if the buyer purchase more than one item from my store, is there an option to add dimensions and weight at the end to calculate shipping.
Each piece is so unique, so I couldn't list them together.
I feel it's not fair to charge shipping for each item separately if the destination address is one.
How can we work around this issue
Regards 😊
Hi, you will have to look at your shipping service to work out the charges.
Sometimes there is no exact way to do it, and you have to estimate.
I have 8 products and I am already making sales since I have 5 products. So I guess I must be doing something right.
Sounds like you have in demand products, keep listing!
a load of good information that I am going to implement
Thanks Derek, good to hear.
Thank you for this - really helpful

Love your channel! Quick question though, when I click on the filter tab I get a ton of options but none of them are "best seller" The closest thing they have is "Star Seller" but that obviously isn't going to tell me which items are selling the most..
Hi there, thanks for commenting. Etsy recently removed the filter from the side menu. Fortunately, I made a short video on how you can still see the bestsellers: ua-cam.com/users/shorts4Kqgpo_TRxo
