    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.

    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.

      @FiestaBuckeye 3 роки тому +6

      ​@@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.

    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.

    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'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.

      I agree, reviews are important, I just wouldn't try to get one at the risk of annoying my customer after I'd already potentially bothered them by messaging them. Nowadays, I treat no news as good news & a convo or a review as a bonus.
      Just speaking from experience after trying a similar approach to yours initially & noticing generally happier customers & more reviews when I backed off post-purchase.
      You do you though. Everyone's different. Best of luck :)

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! :)
