many people say don't run ads, but I promoted my both stores with ads and now in a couple of months with 150 products I sold over 20k+. Honestly because of Etsy I help my mom and my life changed (I'm Mexican). I started with 5000 MXN
Thank you! 🙈I’m working on a course lol just because there is so much more to show and that’s taking me a while to put it together. I’m mostly doing it for my friends cus I want to help thurly but I’ll make it available for everyone
But yes a lot of trainers, make more money off of courses than they do off of their Etsy shops lol. For me, my Etsy shops are doing pretty well, so I’m not desperate and can take my time
Thank You!! You confirmed my thoughts and really helped me close the loop. Conceptually I more or less know what should be done, but actually doing it on Etsy I was not sure. I have been hammering Etsy with bad feedback on their Stats and reports. A lot are utterly useless because they are just data (unstructured numbers) instead of information (structured numbers with proper comparisons - i.e. actionable). I have been jumping up and down to find/get an Etsy report that shows Orders, Views AND FAVORITES in the same report. That would make what you explain in this video so much easier. Rather than having to compare multiple screens, one with ad spend, another with favorites etc. Etsy is a "programmer developed" platform. It's time they let users in on the development of the interface and reports. Anyway, enough venting....Thanks again!!
Curious on how you gauge success with ads in terms of investment, do you expect your investment to cover your cogs and life expenses etc or it is more as a money in money out figure out the rest as you build type of long term vision ? Would be a great follow up video on what's holding people to spend on ads. 🙌🙏🚀
This is so helpful, currently running about $60 a day on ads, which ive increased every month since we opened. But the profit over the last 3 months has stayed the same despite the increase in ad spend (weird, can’t figure it out!) hoping this will help
Hi Vlad , thanks for another great video. Is it true that Etsy has two separate algorithms, one for organic search and one for ads? That would mean you cannot build your organic quality score from ads. My stats would suggest something like that.🤔
I've been an avid sub since your upwork documentary, thank you for your advice and knowledge vlad, i have one question if you dont mind me asking; would you ever open your own website and just do google ads? Or is there more profit in etsy? many thanks!
Thank you so much! Driving traffic to your own website is a whole other animal, I like to utilize the traffic that exists on Etsy, and using the algorithm to navigate to my dear customer, is really wear. My strength is that. But I definitely am learning that on the side so that one day I can really scale that side of my business.
Hi, I just discovered your channel and immediately subscribed :) You provide valuable information about Etsy. About 1 month ago I started selling my own designed t-shirts on Etsy. I started my advertising budget at $25 and gradually increased it to $100 over time. I now have a total of 325 listings. And about 30 of them are getting good feedback. In the last 2 weeks I have had about 30 sales. My question will be this? I think the ads are working well, but $100 is really too much for me right now. I'm aware that I'm losing money even though I'm making sales. Would it hurt me to lower it to a lower level? Thanks in advance.
I want to say that the video really helped me understand how Etsy Ads work and how to tailor my ads to my listings. I also want to ask if you know anything about reducing the ad budget. For example, if I have a high budget of $1000 and I reduce it to $100, will Etsy penalize me for that? Will it decrease my reach? 🤔 Thanks for the great video! 👍
I appreciate for the kind words, I’m glad it helped you! The act of reducing your budget will not affect how effective your advertisement is. However, if out of $1000 at sea spent $200 and you reduce your advisor to only $100, then, yes, you will see a decrease in traffic, as S is not able to advertise to full potential. But if Etsy is only able to spend $50, and you reduced to 100 then you should be fine.
When I had a store I ran many ads, got plenty of sales, but only about 4 were from ads.. it was just a waste of money.. some did come from the offsite ads. But those weren’t in my control
Trying to decide if I should keep selling digital invites or switch to something physical. Everyone prices digital products soo cheap $3…$4, often $10 at the most. I wonder if it’s my price is what makes buyers hesitant. My product is unique from my competitors, so I think the price I charge is reasonable. I get consistent monthly sales, 20-30 at least… but not sure how to scale. I’d love your insight if you have some time to spare. Are you open to me emailing you?
The problem is that a completely different listing can be bought from your ad and it is difficult for you to understand exactly how well the advertised listing is selling
Hey I need some help! I started my new shop of digital products (wall prints) with the ads budget of 25$ per day, it's 9th day today my total views are 2800, 22 clicks 0 revenue and 4.06$ ads spends ....Total listing - 13 , ads listings- 9 ..what should I do ? Do I advertise more or low my budget and how much!?!?!?! .... Sorry for any grammatical mistakes :-)
Digital product is always tough because of the amount of competition, it’s hard to really stand out. The way I would approach this one is only advertise on specific keywords that are directly tied in with your product. So I would every day see what keywords that you being advertised on and turn them off if they are generic words. It’s going to bring you less traffic but it might give better conversion. Hope that helps
Lets say you have 100 listings and cut the ads from 100 down to 50 listings. Will the 50 listings now show up twice as much in views for customers? So you get the same number of views but just with your better products that sell? Does it work that way or not? Thank you, great video and subbed.
Etsy pretty much takes your money and tries to apply your listings to potential keywords, if you reduce the amount of listings then it will apply that to the remaining listings, so theoretically, yes, you will have more traffic to the 50 remaining
So if you have multiple of the similar listings, I would reduce the amount of listings that you’re trying to advertise, however, if you have different product types, this is not always the case, in advertising more listings brings in more traffic
Im not sure if I ve done good thing. I has couple stores on pod platforms, all fresh. On etsy i just started. Got 17 designs, 14 of thfm are really unique, specific niche. I started ads today, 1$ per day. On all products. Is it right. I csnt pick just 1 design, as I said they are really specific and cant say conversation rate yet..
Your return on ad spent is 42%. If the product cost me $48 and i sell for $100, $42 goes to ad, and $10 goes to etsy processing, profit is 0, what's the point.
That’s 42% from just advertisement, as you advertised your organic sales also increase. This is definitely not a cookie-cutter approach, there’s a new strategy or a different strategy for each store or item.
Im still uploading my products to etsy, it takes some time to edit it so couldnt upload it all. I have around 30 more designs that I want to upload. Should I wait till I upload all my designs to etsy? At the moment I have 20 designs on sale in the platform. I truly need some suggestions.
@@TRIQx1 No your $1 budget will be used to all the listings you selected to advertise until your $1 runs out per day, your ads stops when the $1 budget a day is used through clicks.
Alright. After this video I cut my advertised listings from 14 listings to 5 - the ones with most views and favourites. My ads budget is 10$ per day (average sale is 35 euros). Should I increase my budget? This is not the first time I see people with huge ad budgets.
It's listerally the best use of money. What the hell are you talking about. There are millions of businesses that literally make millions using paid traffic.
Yes, Etsy itself said that you should do that.. But i have heard it's not a good idea. Especially when Social media traffic does not increase your quality score, or so I've heard.
Hi, I have just launched an Etsy shop with 7 products and enabled $10 worth of ads per day. In the last 24 hours (1 day), the total number of views is 260, but there have been no clicks. I am feeling quite anxious about whether this is happening only to me or if it is a common occurrence for the algorithm to learn.
@thetalkshop Hey, it's a t-shirt. Actually, I created similar products that are currently popular and selling well. I didn't directly copy the tags, titles, or descriptions. I don't have high expectations for sales or organic traffic. I'm just disappointed that no one is even clicking on my product. I understand that most people won't buy from a shop with no reviews or as a new seller. But now I'm scared and worried because even my ads aren't getting any clicks on the designs that are already best sellers. I'm wondering how I'll ever get any clicks on my unique designs.
many people say don't run ads, but I promoted my both stores with ads and now in a couple of months with 150 products I sold over 20k+. Honestly because of Etsy I help my mom and my life changed (I'm Mexican). I started with 5000 MXN

Amazing! Would love to support your business! (Yo también soy mexicana) 💕
eaaaa que cool, que vendes? apenas estoy empezando:)
How much did you start of with ad budget? And how long did you wait to increase your budget? (If you eventually increased).
What do you sell…?
Thanks for being the only etsy seller who's not selling a course. Only helping us 👍👍

Analyze which ones are selling and hone in on those.

Great tips!
One question: I sell around 200 digital items at about 4$ each. What would your ad strategy be with such a low-priced item?
you must have an ad conversion rate of at least 10 percent
Thank you, this etsy marketing video was very useful (I just joined your channel fam).

I’m confused because mine maxes me up at $25 a day? You have 500?

There’s not really a number. I know some people that run ads on all there product and some on one or two

Across all the listings that have been turned on for advertising

did that just say $500 a day 😬 is that profitable!?

not the best use of money
