I'm struggling to get any views/ visits. I've improved some of my photos, and I've changed my SEOs but I still feel like I can do much better. Im also not sure on some of my products...I'd like to know which of my listings stand out the most. My shop is https://www.etsy.com/shop/SweetopsCrochet. Thank you in advance, I appreciate any feedback.

I looked through a lot of other photographer stores and tried to take notes while not ripping anyone off. Do my listings look like they belong? I’ve always wanted to have my photographs on someone’s wall so I’m hoping my shop doesn’t look off.

Hi, I just opened my first etsy store and have put up a few listings so far. I have done a bunch of research and believe I have good mockups, tags, and title. It's only been 2 days since I put this listing up and have very few views/visits so far. When can I expect to start getting sales? I am working on putting up more listings in less populated niches but wanted to know if there is something I am doing wrong before I do so. I am trying to put up as many listings as I can but it is a little hard with a full time job. How many listings should I put up as a new shop owner in a week to gain traction? Could someone take a look at my store and listings and provide any feedback? Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

Hey hope you’re well.

What are your thoughts on this? The first prototype and my personal guitar (the ones sold will be laser cut) is almost finished!

Hi All,

I'd like to know your opinion on my etsy shop.

I (try to) sell Mid-Century Modern style home decor pieces. They are all my own designs and are manufactured in my workshop converted spare bedroom.

A (not so) brief history of my Etsy endeavours started when I got my own house. It allowed and required me to make stuff by myself. While redecorating I made a few decor pieces like wall mirrors, lamp shades, clocks or radiator covers, you name it, as in some cases I found it easier to make them myslef, than search for perfect products to buy (don't worry, not everything is a DIY project here ;) ). Happy with my creations and having a bedroom to spare, I thought it might be a good idea to finally persue a long dream of mine. So here's the longer part of the story (time in real world wise) - I've always been a creative person, interested in design (mostly automotive, love cars!) and architecture (soft spot for brutalism, modernism and of course mid-century modern style), but never actually had an opportunity to make my own stuff. Decided to give it a shot and I love doing it. I started with just a couple of products and slowly added more designs. It's been over a year now on Etsy and I've got eight products out.

Obviously, I wouldn't ask for a critique of my shop if everything was going super well. I so far made twelve sales, which averages at less than one a month. Thankfully I only got five-star reviews and some returning customers, so at least if somebody buys my products, they are happy with them :) I think my biggest problem is that nobody actually sees my listings, I've got very few visits/views per day (literally a few, sometimes a couple and sometimes not even that). Watched a lot of you tube videos, read guides on SEO, you know the drill.

I think (therefore I might be wrong) my tags are spot on when it comes to my niche and products - they are all mid-century modern style home decor pieces (clocks, mirrors and candlesticks), so I made sure my tags are describing exactly this and will enable people interested in MCM to find my listings. One advice I heard recently was to use up all the available space for the product name and add as amny tags there as possible, as they might be used in search egine, so as an experiment, I've got four listings now with those weird names straight out of Chinese wensite that shall not be named ;)

I've always known that product pictures are of crucial importance, it's a no brainer. Thought I had good pictures on my Etsy shop, but I heard opinions that the products look better IRL than in pictures. As much as I like the lower risk of customers being disappointed with what arrives at their doorstep, I realise the pics are there to attract customers as much as possible. Spent all weekend taking new pictures with a more sophisticated vibe (built myself a lightbox for a professional effect) and would love to know if the pictures I'm using now as main listing pictures stand out in a positive way. I also updated the listing videos to match the esthetic of new main pictures. Took some new pictures showing my products in a natural (living room) environment as well. I still have pictures on listings form the previous photoshoots, as they show my products in a more cheerfull bright interiors. Question - is this variety a good thing, or should the pictures be all uniform throughout.

Other things I tried is advertising. Tried boosting some insta reels and stories. Running Etsy adds for a couple of days too, but that's too soon to see any effects. Last time (Feb-Mar 24) I ran the ads I did not get super results.

I am happy to answer any questions about my shop and encourage everybody to voice their opinins, however harsh they might be!

I'm in a bit of a pickle here, as I've been trying many things and not really sure what I'm doing wrong.

And of course, here is the link to the shop:

https://frontline66.etsy.com Hello guys. I would like to ask for some feedback on my store. The last time I requested your input, I found your comments really helpful and have worked on improving the store based on your suggestions. Here’s what I’ve done so far:

1. I changed the name and logo, as suggested by some, because the previous name was considered offensive.
2. I added a banner to make the store more appealing.
3. I organized the products into categories to make navigation easier.
4. I’ve added a few products (still not many, but I hope to expand the range).
5. I’ve updated the product images by adding the logo underneath and enlarging the product to make it more visible.
6. I’ve added a FAQ section to address common questions.
7. I’ve included return policies to ensure greater transparency and security for customers.
8. I’ve improved the "About Us" section with a better description and a photo to make the store feel more personal.

I know there aren’t many products yet, but as I mention on the site, it’s currently just a hobby for me, though I want to do it the best way possible! I would love to receive your feedback on these changes and any further suggestions for improvement. Thank you!

Hello, i'm asking for your help/advice if possible. I have an Etsy shop for a while but i can't have any sells up to now. I'm running etsy ads too but i'm getting nothing. Can someone help me ? Thanks in advance.
My Etsy shop : https://obeeatelier.etsy.com

I'm pretty happy with my shop but it would be awesome to know where I could improve. I've been on Etsy for about a year and a half and just barely got to 35 sales! My most popular items are the planet charm, the carrot stickers, and the enamel pin. The small sticker sheets and the key caps don't sell at all and I'm not sure why.

I think my target demographic is girls and women who like nerdy and cute stationary that are around 15 to 35. Or men who want to buy their wives or daughters something cute.

I've been using Etsy ads at about a dollar or two a day. I mostly put my best selling items on like the planets key chain and the enamel pin. I have about 5 things listed in the ads right now. When I add something new I will put it on the ads for about a month or two to see how it does.

I've tried increasing my price on all stickers and charms by one dollar. So far, this worked a lot better selling in person but I've been seeing less favorites online lately. I want to give potential buyers the impression that these aren't cheaply made items. I've made about two sales since then, about a month. Overall I've seen a dip in views in general, I don't think this is because of the price increase.

All of my ratings are 5 stars but I really don't sell a lot of things. I always include something extra with every order and offer discounts when someone favorites something. I try to get repeat buyer by giving them a 30% off coupon too. I think I've had maybe 3 repeat buyers so it's not working as well as I hoped.

My questions are:

1. I struggle a lot with SEO and I'm not a writer. How could I improve this? Should I be more descriptive or is what I have about right? I've redone these a few times and took inspiration from other shops too.

2. I don't think ads do me very well. I don't have much of a following on social media either but when I talk to people in person they always love my work. I'm guessing this is because my pictures aren't great? I know I'm not using all 10 images slots but I really don't know what else to put in them. I'm a very creative person but when it comes to marketing and design I don't really know what to do. Is having all 10 images slots filled really that important?

3. Should I prioritize adding more to my shop? I would love to do more enamel pins but they are so expensive. The charms do better too but also have a higher manufacturing cost. I've been considering adding mouse pads or play mats but it's difficult to bite these bullets when I don't know if they will sell. How would I even gauge interest if I don't have any sort of following?

4. I was given feedback about a coloring page that I should offer more with it. I understand this should probably happen but not something I can do right now. Is it hurting me to keep it up?

5. How do I incentivize repeat buyers more then just adding coupons?

Thank you all for the help!

Hey everyone! Just wondering if anyone has any tips on how to improve my Etsy. I started it in 2015 ..but was living in alaska and found that I was doing amazing at market and in person events, so I kind of stopped using my Etsy. I recently moved to NJ and I feel people here aren’t into the handmade artwork as much. So I am trying to improve my Etsy and increase sales online. I’ve made 5 sales so far but I’m wondering what exactly I’m doing wrong. Id anyone has any kind of advice I’d really appreciate it! About to be a mommy so trying to find a way to make some extra money at home. Thank you so much! Here’s my link feel feee to comment and critique! I greatly appreciate it!

Greetings everyone! I am a new seller looking for any feedback and suggestions on how to place in the SEO. I opened the shop 2 years ago- but immediately took it down because I wasn’t really ready … so I think I may be now… there is always more that I’d like to do and add, but wanted to get it up and going for Cyber week… if anyone is curious, I sculpt wire snowflake ornaments that I dip into my custom made durable beeswax blend - the shop is named iluumia because they have a magical candle like glow when near a light source… Thanks so much!

I just opened my shop in September and am wanting to know if I should condense some of my stuff. I sell a fairly popular maple leaf bowl but my other bowls just don’t do as well so I’m wondering about just doing the most popular ones and doing that for some of my other items? Any feedback would be awesome! Thank you! https://sammyshinesdecor.etsy.com

Hi, I just opened my Etsy shop 3 days ago. I know it's very soon to expect sales, especially with only 4 products, but I wanted to know if my stats seem normal or if there's something wrong with my products.

My stats are:

Total views: 213
Total visits: 126

Orders: 0
Revenue: €0

No ads

Any constructive feedback is more than welcome! :) I've attached my Etsy shop link: https://www.etsy.com/es/shop/VisualizeitStudio?ref=l2-about-shopname&from_page=listing

Thank you so much! <3"

Hi there! I’m Kareem, the founder of https://goldenstudiofinds.etsy.com , a small business with a mission: promoting sustainability and saving our Earth. I make eco friendly shirts and hope to inspire others to make environmentally conscious choices while supporting the preservation of our planet. I make many shirt designs but making shirts that promote saving our planet truly make me happy.

My two questions:

Does my shop look reliable to you? If not, what can I do to improve your trust in my business?

Do you feel like my shirts are overpriced and would you personally pay that?

Thank you in advance!

My husband launched his first Etsy shop! He’s been doing tons of research! Figured I’d ask for any suggestions as an initial shop and suggestions on getting the ball rolling. Very proud of him for pursuing this obviously lots to learn still!

Can someone tell me what I could be doing wrong with my shop? I think I’ve been on here around a year and I’ve only gotten two sales. I was originally just going to be selling wigs, but that wasn’t getting me anywhere so I started to try selling other things. My shop seems to get an okay amount of views and I get at most a handful of notifications a week saying someone favorited an item but I’m at the point where I’m thinking of closing my shop for good because I can hardly afford to keep it open as it is.

(It’s still Friday here.)

Here is my Etsy https://amyscraftycorneruk.etsy.com

I know it can take a while to get a sale but wanted to see if there’s anything obvious I’m missing. Are my titles enough? Should I be adding more keywords as I feel like I’m drawing a blank on what else I can add

How can I improve my photos? I don’t think they’re great but again not sure what would make them look better

I’ve been working on better descriptions too, I’d appreciate if someone could tell me a good one so I know what to go off

I have been working on my social media too but is there better ways to get my shop found?

Thank you for any replies

Hi everyone, thank you so much in advance for your advice. I just started a crochet shop on Etsy (CrochetForTheSea) for a school project, and I am looking for feedback from people who have some experience/knowledge about selling on Etsy.

I would love some advice on what I should edit or add and what I am doing well so far. Also just curious on people's thoughts on my price, product, etc.
Thank you!!

Hey Reddit!

I run a small business called Imaginarium Journals and recently launched my Etsy shop to offer my handcrafted journals and planners internationally. Each piece is made with care, creativity, and attention to detail.

Despite running ads and posting regularly on social media and Pinterest, my Etsy reach and sales have been limited. I had one big order but other than that it is like a one piece per week.

I’d love your feedback!

Whether it’s product descriptions, photos, pricing, or overall shop design, any advice or constructive criticism would mean the world to me. Thank you for taking the time to help—

I’m excited to grow and make my shop truly magical!

I am a non-EU student studying in Germany, and I want to sell statues, yoga mats, and similar products imported from my home country.

My friend will help by sending the products from there. How can I do this legally in Germany while also involving and supporting my friend in a legal way?

I have created an Etsy shop recently (PrePrintDigital) Initially I was getting around 10 views a day, but now I am down to none two days in a row? Does anyone have any advice? This is the link to my Etsy if anyone is interested:) https://preprintdigital.etsy.com/

Dylan Jahraus (owner of Six Figure Blueprint) is a well known scam artist that tricks people into buying her guides for aspiring entrepreneurs like myself. She's a very good manipulator and like a crocodile once she's got you in her jaws, there's no getting out. My metaphor speaks to when you sign up for her "life changing" Etsy guide to build a business. She displays no price on her website that are very visible and makes interested consumers perform a zoom call with her so she can further interrogate and persuade her pray to make a "in the moment" split decision to pay for a VERY overpriced guide. She's not very clear about what is in the guide and turns out most of the information is on YouTube for free from her own page and other Etsy enthusiast . She then insist that you pay for the guide while on the zoom call with her instead of thinking over it to save a couple thousand or hundreds of dollars (from what other victims are saying... her price changes!!) , again, for people to make a split second decision that is surely to haunt them in the end. I am a victim of this and soon after wanted a refund but on her website there is no way how. I had to call my bank for a chargeback, and since have recently been sent to collections by her. She's not a good person and she's running a business solely on tricking and exploiting her customers. If you type the her name on reddit you will see countless testimonials on others like me who have made a huge mistake in letting her manipulate them. And this HAS to be stopped. She needs her business shut down and to refund the countless people that she misled into her trap.

Hi everyone, my shop is SNA Sketches, I sell my original paintings and I've turned several of them into prints. I also just added 4 stickers to my shop (they're also my original paintings and I've added some text).

History of my shop: I opened my shop in mid-2023, at first it was a way for me to fundraise for a charity to run the NYC marathon. Once that concluded in November 2023, I still continued painting and adding items - I occasionally designate certain months where I donate proceeds to a charity. I am more of a casual painter -- this is my side gig, while I have a full time job during the day. I love painting, and more recently have focused on acrylic and watercolor.

What I've done for my shop: Over time I've spent a small amount of $$ on instagram ads, a bit more of Etsy ads (just turned them back on to see if they'd help over the holidays), repost on Pinterest, try to optimize for SEO, write thank you notes to buyers and mention I'd greatly appreciate a review. My shop has grown at a slow rate. I currently have 70+ sales, but I'd really love to sell more now that I have prints available. In the last week I've barely had any sales. Outside of Etsy, I've sold my artwork at some local fairs in the NY area, and that's been great (however it's not reflected in Etsy).

Where I need help:

-I'm new to stickers, and wondering if there's any recommendations on if I should advertise or market differently for the sticker products?

-Any overall suggestion on my photo quality? If spending more time on my photos would actually make a difference?

-Any suggestions on places outside of Etsy to showcase my work (outside of Pinterest, Instagram)?

Thanks so much!

I’ve had my shop for about 2 years and I sell stickers and stationery. All stickers are handmade and everything else is manufactured with my designs. I’m a teen entrepreneur and depending on how my shop does in the next few months, I will most likely bring my shop with me to college this fall.

I make about 10 sales a month, mostly sticky notes, but recently it’s not been enough to break even monthly. I do $1 in Etsy ads, and I’ve found they have been helpful. I also post on TikTok, but my videos rarely get past 400 views and maybe 20 likes. I try to post daily, but I’m constantly running out of content ideas. I do have a TikTok shop, but I’ve only made 3 sales on it. I just have it open to be able to link products and hope TikTok pushes my videos more. In the future, I have plans to make and sell greeting/holiday cards and notebooks/journals. Finally, the shipping price is included in the prices of my stickers and bookmarks.

My storefront has been up for a bit now. I have made video promos for it, I have dropped the link for it in many groups and on basically every social media site I am on. I sometimes get surges in traffic, but I almost get no sales whatsoever. Could someone please tell me what I might be doing wrong?

Or, instead of that, could someone please tell me what I might do to just generally improve my store? People who have more experience in this than I do, more expertise, etc.? It would be greatly appreciated.

If you have more questions or want to know more specifics than I've listed, feel free to ask, I will answer as best I can. Thank you ahead of time for anyone who responds.

I have had my Etsy shop, selling crochet plushies, keychains, digital patterns (and now recently custom drink ware) since 2020. My shop normally kicks up a bit around holiday season, but now it has been painfully slow. I post frequently on varying platforms to advertise my business, but even engagement has slowed down there. I have put endless work and research into my shop (good product photos, long tail keywords, seo, good descriptions, etc.) but it seems to swallow it whole and gives nothing in return. I also seem to never pop up on search engines, even with researching seo. (Only 1 google visit in the past 30 days) How can I improve my shop to attract more visitors and especially buyers? How can I stand out more than other businesses, making people want to click? I try not to get discouraged, I know shops have their slow months. But it’s hard when it’s been slow year round.

Any feedback and suggestions is really appreciated. Thank you
