🔑WATCH THE FREE MASTERCLASS (The 5 Pillar Etsy Success Formula) 👉 www.kate-hayes.com/webinar-registration-page-1 Which of these 10 strategies do you most need to put into practice?? Comment and let me know!
Good video but I don't understand the last point, offering products that can be replicated (from other stores???) and scaled (not sure what this means). Thanks for answering.
Hi Kate, I've been watching your videos and you are motivating me to take the next step in creating an Etsy store. I also realized that you had started with wood products and that's what I'll be creating a store in. My niche is going to be wood signs as I believe that those are doing well. I just purchased a CNC router last year and think it's time. Well thanks for posting your videos, so others like me can learn and get our education from. Thanks Michael.
I started my shop 5 weeks ago. I’ve had 6 sales on Etsy and 3 in person sales. The week I spent a lot of time on social media I got the most sales. But sometimes days go by without orders. It can be so discouraging!
Hey Elizabeth! That’s wonderful you’ve already had sales (took me a couple months before getting my first sale)! External promotion (social media, collabs, etc) is definitely the best way to drive traffic and create momentum in the beginning!!
I started my etsy shop three times ago and till now I'm not getting any orders which is discouraging regardless if the views and visits I had every day
don’t be discouraged…i still am trying to stay positive & keep working on my etsy shop in hopes that one day i’ll actually start really seeing a profit and/or more than just 1 or 2 sales every 1-3 months :( i opened up my shop February 2022 & sofar only have made 14 sales - so î completely understand your discouragement friend). what’s the link to your etsy shop, if you don’t mind me asking? i’m no pro but i could always take a look as a “potential customer” & give you my downright honest opinions/advice if you’d like? reply to my comment here if so-and if not, take care & much good luck to you! :) -sarah
Funny thing is I didn’t focus on what was trending but focused on what design I thought looked good and tried to think about what my audience needed and not wanted. 2 years later I have 3k sales. Not totally amazing but I have had slow growth instead of overnight growth. I also focused on perfecting my craft before offering it to the market.
This might be a simple question, but can someone tell me the actual names or titles to 1. The Etsy page where everyone's listings are when you do a search, the little squares with different shop images and 2. The page where you have an item listed that shows a description, etc, reviews are on that page too. I'm trying to organize my Etsy binder that I'm creating. Thanks.
I’d love to understand “stacking listings” a little more. Are you saying to take a listing that’s performing well and duplicate it with different SEO or are you saying just list similar items over and over and over?
I am acting as manager for my wife who is an artist, abstract paintings, mostly acrylic. I haven't opened up the Etsy shop yet, but will soon. Do you have any further tips or suggestions for me as I will be creating the shop, but my wife is the actual owner and artist? BTW, I love your videos! You speak and think in an organized way that is perfect for me. I subscribed to your channel.
I started my etsyshop and in a few hours was “permanently suspended “ 🤦🏻♀️ after a day or 2 i Receved an email with a long list if posible reasons .. nothing that was on point.. Not ever that I WANT to sell on Etsy I will not recommend to anywone. Big disapointment after years that I followed Etsy as a buyer
Thank you for the videos Kate they are very good. I watched your steps videos and got my keywords fixed to grade out all my listings at A. I've been using ads for almost a month now. Our page has been up for 210 days and we have no sales...I need help!!
Katie thank you so much for all your content, I love everything you putting out there! Just tried to open your 60 minutes free ads because but unfortunately the server does not respond… Is there might be a problem with your link?❤
Thank you for sharing this. What are you thoughts of an LLC and tax ID and starting a business from the beginning? Also, can you give an example of what you mean by number 10 with replicating and scaling? Thank you :)
I definitely think starting an LLC from the beginning is a good idea if you think this will be a long-term thing for you. As far as replicating and scaling, I’m referring to renewing and selling with the same listings over and over as opposed to selling unique, one of a kind items and creating a brand new listing each time.
Hey friend!! Have you been marketing? Through either social media, email, collaborating with influencers, etc? That’s a huge part to getting traction in the beginning!
The first step is to choose an email service provider (Convertkit, mail chimp, Active Campaign, Flodesk are some great ones). Then decide on a lead magnet or opt-in that you could give for free in exchange for someone signing up for your list (this would be hosted on a landing page that you set up- some email providers have landing page capability included, some don’t so you’d need to use something like Leadpages for this). Once you have it all set up, post the link for your landing page all over the place (on Etsy shop announcement, social media, etc)- promoting your free lead magnet! There are lots of great tutorials (more in depth) on this process on UA-cam- a bit of effort to get it set up on the front end but SO worth it!!
thanks so much for this tip! i’ve save your comment in a screenshot so that i can work on setting this up for my etsy shop asap!!! thx so much for all of your videos sharing such amazing advice/tips!!!
Hi I would like to know if my Etsy account gets suspended because of suspicious login now when I respond to Etsy they do not reply to me its been 10 days now and I created a new support request after 1st mail they do not reply again Is there any way how they respond fast?
@@KateHayes Its been 13 days too old ticket and been 3 days to open a new ticket but after 1st reply in which they asked some questions and now not getting a reply from the last 3 days
I started an Etsy shop in July, and i was surprised of the early success. I do vinyl decals and art, focused on gaming. However, Etsy suspended my shop for 5 days, with no explanation, and since it has been activated again I have had no traffic, truly frustating.
So sorry, friend- that is definitely frustrating! I’d say to focus on driving traffic on your own in any way you can- social media, email, collabs, etc. If you can manually get some momentum going again with some sales, it may help the algorithm to pick your listings back up!
@@kaileyanne i was wondering that too, I try to keep things neutral, I see others who do completely rip off logos lol. It happened just after I added a print on demand item to my site, so i was wondering if that triggered something. The fact they never explained what happened is frustrating, I'd like to avoid another suspension.
@@curiousravenchronicles I red somewhere, that making test purchases of own demand products could be a reason for suspending. Did you buyed a item in your own shop?
@@curiousravenchronicles Thank You for your comment. I'll not start a Etsy Store without the reason for your suspension. So much censorship online, wouldn't want to fight for sales and worry about an unknown suspension. Hope your says increase. But a suspension causes fear of fraud.🥴
@@KateHayes Thanks a lot dear. I am a primary teacher and I am already using canva you can guide me I am ready to help u with your guidance to fulfill your orders for free just to learn more
Love your content, very helpful! I have been on Etsy for 1 year and views and sales have been picking up, but I am looking to take it to the next level. Do you think it's a bad idea to combined product offerings or niches? I have a wood sign shop, but have recently started doing apparel and gift type items (sublimation). I was thinking of re-branding and offering all in one shop or would it be smarter to have more than one Etsy shop?
Hello, I have a question. I am selling items on etsy. There are too many inconsistencies in my sales. For example, if I sold 10 products yesterday, I can sell 1 or 2 products today and tomorrow, why?
Hey there! In my experience, Etsy has always been a bit up and down like this and though you can generally see a seasonal pattern, sometimes the differences from day to day really seem to have no rhyme or reason. Not a reason to get worried though unless you see a consistent decline over a long period of time!
ETSY is NOT as good as it once was. As a seller, it's becoming harder & harder to keep up, & etsy introduces new rules, plans and suggestions that costs the seller, but profits etsy. They take NO risks, but expect the sellers to shoulder allll the risks with sales, discounts etc. What's more, their Customer Service is IMPOSSIBLE to get through to. I've tried & tried for months, to no avail. VERY discouraging & frustrating!! WOULD NOT RECOMMEND IT TO NEW-COMERS WANTING A SURE & FAIR THING!!

Hi can I convert my Etsy physical shop to digital shop ? Please guide me
You can! Just would need to change all the listings to reflect your current products and change them to digital listings :)
Thank you for sharing this. What are you thoughts of an LLC and tax ID and starting a business from the beginning? Also, can you give an example of what you mean by number 10 with replicating and scaling? Thank you :)

Yes.. To Jesus be the glory

Can people pay to to look at their Etsy shop and give critique I know you’re really busy so I figured I’d throw it out there
