Please do not ask for a positive review in exchange for a coupon code. This violates Etsy's Anti-Extortion Policy. www.etsy.com/legal/policy/ext...
I apologize for my mistake at 06:52:00. I was unaware of this policy at the time!
In this video, I share with you my top 3 tips to start getting sales right away and replace a full time income in just a couple months of selling on Etsy. If you are a new Etsy shop owner or you've had your shop for awhile and just aren't seeing the sales you want to be seeing, these hacks will definitely skyrocket those sales and start making you money.
Let me in the comments what you sell or what you plan to sell on Etsy and what your goals are with your shop - I'd love to chat about it!

I've been on Etsy for 20 months with 86,000 sales and ranked 180th globally in sales. I would agree with much of this video. You don't have to reinvent the wheel. There's no magic formula. Find your audience and grow over time. Just be better than other sellers... better pictures, better descriptions, SEO, and kill it with customer service. That's the recipe.
Why is my shop so dead :(
Hi Ryan, Did you use any paid advertising to get the snowball rolling? I feel that in the beginning it would be difficult to get sales without facebook / instagram ads.
@@kearnskronicles can I help you?
How do you do this can someone help me or tell me stuff that I might need to do!?
@@GachaGrill1 Honestly, this is something you have to figure out on your own, but I will say that it is not difficult. Look at high volume sellers on Etsy and see if you can reverse engineer any of their processes. It might be something that you never would have guessed or something you have no interest in. That doesn't matter. Your in the business to make money, not to like your product. That's the biggest mistake I see people make on Etsy. Once you have a potential product or service, just act on it. Make a listing. It's that simple. Most Etsy shops started out small and don't require a ton of capital. I started mine with a $38 product order and just kept pumping profits back into the business. From there, just kick the snot out of your competition. Listings are your storefront, so you want every single element to be better than your competition. Go get it.
For those short on time, 2:50 is where the video starts.
Key tips:
2:55: Stand out, be unique, stand out.
5:53: Getting positive reviews and repeat customers.
8:16: Go the extra mile. Deliver more value than you promised I.e. surprise the customer with bonuses like free samples.
Hope this helps! Watch the video for more in-depth breakdowns of the tips.
Thanks so much. Saved my time
Thank you
Thanks

WOW! That was very excellent and so kind of you! Thanks so much! Great video too for I depth explanation! 🙏
just made my etsy less than 4 days ago, i have made over $1000 and my mind is BLOWN. as a college student, this is like winning the lottery. i had no idea my small business would be so successful so fast but i am SO blessed
That’s amazing!!! What do you sell?
I think that person is being sarcastic or just trolling.
Grow Handmade i make and sell clay earrings!
luxe marie OK 😂
luxe marie You never know on UA-cam what’s true 😊
Good point on the packaging. Including something special in the package can help your reputation big time, and it can even help dealing with customer issues sometimes, like late shipping for example. I like include a little complimentary gift in my package along with a thank you note and a business card. You can tell how big of an impact it has when they leave a review talking about the whole experience.

What should I leave for a special thing???
Awesome video! I love that you understand that while it's important to get sales up and hopefully make money, the costumer comes first, and that we do it because we love our craft!
Absolutely I’ve been learning this more & more, especially since participating in local craft fairs.
This video is actually so helpful. My shop was doing relatively well over the summer but i have begun working full time and ran out of motivation since and that has reflected in my sales. Im ready to get back into it and grow bigger. I hope those tips work for my shop!

I've been researching a lot on how to grow my etsy because I just started last month. This is very helpful! I'm starting with cake toppers and greeting cards but the market seems to be saturated. It takes a lot of work and I don't have any sales yet but I'll get there
OMG as someone with a few marketing degrees, you nailed it. The whole "niche" market thing is what professionals do. This was a very helpful video for me (starting an Etsy shop).

Hi new seller here! Please visit my etsy store. 🙏🏻 I make handmade pressed flowers items (jewelry, keychains, hair pins). I will be posting more listings soon. ☺️ www.etsy.com/shop/CelestialFlowersbyB?ref=seller-platform-mcnav#
Girl! ....Thank you. For being you and what you do, as well as doing. The general public/consumer would be shocked to learn how much support and encouragement can make or break someone wanting to or starting their own business/online store. So, yeah 😏, thank you immensely. *hugs*
I'm having a shop on etsy from 2016, but I don't get too many sales, this year I'll totally be concerntrating on my shop, I'm sure your tips will be helpful ☺️
Thank u so much ❤️
I started my shop about a month ago. Word of mouth helps so much and it goes hand in hand with repeat customers and marketing. I’m currently working on more products and hopefully it can get the ball rolling a bit more. 🙏🏽

After few talks with Edwinconsult __ on Instagram, I’m running up on sales and traffic.. I’d recommend
@@michellecollins2712 Kindly offer more specifics
Amazing content and channel. Thanks for this!
I really love your video!! I felt I got clarity on how to treat a client especially after the sale. I agree with you lots of people forget the client after they make the sale. Very good video.
Frankly speaking Edwinconsult __ on Instagram fixed up my esty and I’ve been running up on sales and traffic.. I’d recommend anyone
I'll be honest, at first I was skeptical. But having heard you "hacks', I prolly need to listen over and over. I think it rings true. Ty
Thanks for the great insights, just one consideration... from what I know, Etsy is quite adamant in not allowing sellers to ask or incentivize positive reviews in any way. What they allow though, is asking for reviews or feedback *in a neutral way*. I suggest correcting that in the video so people don't make that mistake and cost them some sort of strike by Etsy.
I started my esty shop a few months ago and getting sales is so hard. Ugh
Hold on, it's coming. I got my first etsy sale last night. I ran a coupon and bam! there it was. You've got this girl!
Did you see her video from about a year ago? It's called Why you aren't making sales in your Etsy Shop.
I can help you!
Thank you! Those three tips are the first step in pumping up my Etsy shop! Plus you have a nice manner in front of the camera! 💜

I just opened a shop yesterday and I even posted youtube videos about it! I'm watching this video to no fail!🤞
Girl I was in the shower shaving my legs watching this and I thought your kid in the background was my kid crying so now I have one leg shaved lmao
Luckily I read your comment before I heard that. I actually thought it was my cat and was quite concerned about how upset she sounded. Then I remembered your comment and didn't go flying down the stairs to see what was wrong.
You really seem to have figured it out! I've been trying the Etsy thing for years. Same with YT, you have done so much better with so many fewer videos! Kudos!!!!
Edwinconsult __ on Instagram helped out with traffic and sales my store, I’d recommend to anyone
Thank you for these tips! I’m going to start making my store now!
I loved this! The idea of "niche-down" made so much sense as you described it, and I also understood better why just delivering your product quickly and as ordered isn't enough. I also recently learned from another video that I should add "Alt text" for each image. Anyway, thanks! Very clear and inspiring!
What is Alt text?
yes targeting a small group of buyers is the key! If your target audience is not unique then you have not done enough research. In order to be successful on Etsy you need to stand out from the massive crowd. Its cheaper to target repeat customers than to "purchase or convince new customers" . great advice

I started my Etsy over a month ago and had gotten a bunch of sales at first but it had just all the sudden slowed down. This was super helpful, thank you! :)

Ditto! I was so excited to get sales and then nothing. Thanks for the tips.

Thank you for taking your time this video answered several questions and gave me a few ideas to start my shop with. Thank you again.
I loved this video very helpful! I am exited to narrow down ny ideas for my Etsy shop, I was doing too much and getting lost in the crowd
This was such a calm, uplifting, and helpful video; thank you. I have restarted my shop after a year and a half break when I was living abroad. Found sales not too difficult the last time I ran it, 15 sales with essentially no marketing other than posting the items on my tumblr account. Now I've rebooted and I'm struggling a bit. Getting lots of favouriting but not really sales. So this time I'm going all in with lots of learning and implementing tactics!

What is your product? I’m wondering about niching down in my shop as well but I really enjoy all the things I sell. (Graphic design work...printables for education, invitations, custom notebooks.) I would love to hear your perspective!
@@christinacarpenter5918 I was in the same boat. I was creating so many different products because I just loved it. I would say if you have many different items, take note of whats working- what items are people viewing more? Favoriting? Purchasing? Then double down on those. Hope that helps :)
This is a fabulous video! Thank you for the tips. I have only just started my Etsy shop My Crafty Gifts selling personalised frames. This will help me a lot. Thank you!
Great tips! Learned something today. I'm gonna try it.
Thank you! This is so informative and I needed the info! So much better to watch this than spend $1000 on a two week training seminar to teach me the same thing.

I know that I can do it, I work hard and I'm sure my shop will be sucessfull over the next months/ years. I'll keep you updated
I can help you if you want let me know!
how's it going? did it work out?
It took me months to get my first sale from someone I didn’t personally know, it took months but then got better after.
@@sanjanaraveendran2074 Yes it did! I have over 600 sales in total and new orders (almost) every day :)
@@tpwk1836 Woww howw?
I'm so glad that you're doing amazing! I will say that, Etsy gives priority in search to newer shops. I wish you continued success. Just a thought to prepare for. Everything here is what has really helped my shop in the last year, so it's confirmation that I'm on the right track. I do agree that finding a niche is important. That's where my sales finally took off after years of trying to figure things out. I was already in a niche, but had to go into a sub-niche to get found. I have also had a boost this year by having more repeat customers. I also send them a sticker with my own artwork on it. I previously bought sticker flakes to add to my orders, but they LOVE the custom stickers a lot more. After that, my review rate increased. I recently changed the way I do packaging, so crossing fingers that that will bring further success.
good luck on your shop :)

Love The video! Thank you! I just opened my shop a couple of weeks ago. When you talk about standing out. Do you mean to add those keywords in a description of the product or tags?
Tags! For SEO purposes. Etsy doesn’t use your description to rank you in search. Your description is more for increasing your conversion rate. still important, but not directly for SEO. Other search engines can pick up keywords from your description, but Etsy doesn’t.

That was an Easy Sub.
Low ticket Price point- definitely a key
As a get real moment, It is NOT easy! It takes a ton of work to both start your shop and to keep up with trends, etc. I've had a shop for six years.
Tasha I agree with you. I opened my shop in 2017 and I have never made as much as some of these individuals are making in such a short time and getting traffic to my website is impossible. It has always been at a snail pace and I have done everything. At the present I am giving Erank a try again to redo my products but as you said it is so hard. For me at least.

Question! As far as sending the buyer a follow-up message offering a discount, isn't it against Etsys TOS to advertise through messages? Or do sellers still do it anyways?

Helllo, I sold on ebay back when it was almost the only game in town. It was simple but now there's so much to learn. Thanks for the tips. I looked into personalized items like I want to offer but prices are about 30% less then what I would like. My Items are way more personalized so maybe it will work?
Hi! Are you referring to eBay or Etsy? These tips are for Etsy and there is a difference there. If you’re selling on Etsy, personalized products are very popular and you can definitely charge more for that. What are you selling?
@@growhandmade2477 Thanks for replying! I'm not sure were to sell but etsy looks best for hand made items. Maybe both. My profile picture has to bottle openers I made. I'm thinking without the hook they also could be keychain charms. I could make them now but belt buckles and I'm not sure what else?
ua-cam.com/video/1b8kDKN2OBM/v-deo.html
Fire Smith amazing! You can definitely sell on both Etsy and eBay. On Etsy, you can charge more and offer customizable options. You can get started now with what you have. Just make sure you take some good quality photos and use strong tags. I have a few videos that could help you with that. And if you need some more personalized support, I can help you more in depth in my facebook group :)

Hi Sarah. I'm happy to take a look at your shop and give tips if you'd like? I opened my shop a few months ago and I know what it's like to be stagnant with sales in the beginning. Patience is key with Etsy :) Let me know if you'd like some tips!
@@SandraDi I could use some tips my store is simplymadebytracieco
@@traciecunningham3382 hi there! I took a quick look at your shop and your hats are very nice! A few things I will say is it is a very new shop and it will just take time to make sales. Etsy needs time to pick you up in the algorithm. The more listings you can upload, the better because then shoppers can find you easier. I noticed you are not using your whole title space. It's very important to use up your title space and tags because this will help customers find you. Also your description does not include much. Take a look at what your successful competitors are doing and take inspiration from that. Hope that helps! :)
Thank you for making this video! It helps a lot.
Thank you so you much for making this video! 🙏🏾
You say you were able to replace a full-time income with your etsy shop after just 6 weeks but 137 sales in 2 months for 6.99 each is far from a full-time income (even if that full 6.99 was profit).
Hating for sure.
