I was just doing some research and I couldn’t believe how many people misspelled words, on their POD shirts, and they were considered “best sellers.”😮 They were not misspelled as in a joke word, they were just bad at spelling. I couldn’t believe that people would be buying it.
Hi there, thanks for your comment. Could it be US/UK spelling differences? Colour/Color for example?
Oh my God i just started and spend $100 on etsy ads and profit is $50 you are right 💯
It is hard to make ads work, yes.
Nice! Very informative video and very useful information you shared. Thank you! 👍🏼
Glad you enjoyed it!
Dear Sir, I wanted to express my gratitude for all the amazing tips you provided for my Etsy shop! Your kindness and expertise are truly appreciated. I have subscribed to your channel and look forward to watching more of your videos. Thank you once again and have a wonderful day!
Hi there, thanks so much for sharing!
Such a great video! I wish I had found your videos when I started 6 months ago. Everything you said is spot on as I personally experience it with my shop. Thank you.. 🙏🏻
Thank you so much.
I’ve watched a number of your videos and you are spot on. I’ve been on Etsy for 14 years and seen how it’s changed over the years. I do find Star Seller annoying, but you’re probably right it’s going to play an integral part of their rankings.
Hey Cindy, thanks for watching. Yes Star Seller is here to stay I think.
I plan on figuring out how to do all that you've said. I'll let you know how it goes
Please do Debby, thanks.
My items are art - one of a kind items and when they're gone, they're gone. Should I remake them and renew the listing rather than add them as a new listing? Thanks for the video - much more helpful and insightful than most I've seen. I'll watch them all.
HI there, great comment, I have created a video all about this, if you haven' t already seen it the link it here:

Love your channel!
Thanks Shea!
1. Can you send a link to your store when thanking for the purchase? 2. Among the photos of a certain product, can you insert a photo collage with other products that can be found in your store? Thank you
Hi Aurel, to answer your questions:
1 Yes, but they already know your store, or if you mean a website, do that in your packaging or download.
2 No I would not do this, it will confuse the customer.
Can you please record a video about Etsy's new refund policy $250... it seems scary and super important to understand fully!
Thanks Christian, noted.
Thanks for this :) About 8 years ago, when it was a good thing and before Etsy translated, I added in tags as well as blurbs in my description in German for my fairly large long hair community base there. From what I'm hearing now, it's better if I keep everything in English and let Etsy translate? I think I have about 40-60 listings with mixed language.
Out of 230 listings I have 2 best sellers, so I sell 1-10 close to daily...about 50 good sellers that sell 1-5 times weekly, and then fillers that sell seasonally better or trickle in sales, and then about 30 artisan style OOAK that usually sell within a few months to a year....then there's always a few duds that don't sell so they get scrapped in January.
Hey Elew, most people let Etsy translate because they cannot be bothered to do all that extra work, BUT as I mentioned if you can do better in your translations, and have the will and time to do it...you should.
these have been soo incredibly helpful, thank you for all the insight!
Hi Kieran, thanks for commenting. I'm always happy to help
I really love your tips. I have a question, if I make new changes to my published listing, how long will it take to reflect in Etsy? How much time should I give it to analyze if it's working right?
Thanks for letting me know, I appreciate it. OK listings are reindexed immediately, but you should give the listing a good couple of months to see how it performs.
I have 67 listings and only about 6 sell well. I have had best sellers that are no longer best sellers. How does that happen.
How did I misread that as, "I have 67 siblings" ?!? 😅
I have the same thing too. Popularity waxes & wanes drastically. I understand how it increases but the decrease is confusing to me
Hi Annette, and thanks for your question, here are the reasons:
1 Your item loses popularity
2 Your competition is more desirable
3 Your item is manually rotated out of best seller status by Etsy, this is called "Frequency Capping".
I'm in the us but I get my stuff from temu in china. My goal is to order stuff ahead of time to ship from america because i know how unreliable those places are, and sometimes customers get mad if they see you are in the us but order from china. If it gets too expensive for some of the items to ship, I may have to do some drop shipping too, since temu does not charge shipping. I am following all your advice.
Stay tuned, and thanks for taking the time to comment.
I've just started my digital download store 3 weeks ago. Currently 36 sales on 13 products! My question is how long do you give a product until you take it down? My sales have come from 7 products, but also everything is very new. I am taking your advice and posting 1-2 new listing's each day - mixture of seasonal listing's and more generic items. Aiming for 200 items. Thanks so much for your videos, they are SO helpful!!
Hi Jayne thanks for your comment. Generally you should give the product a year.
How did you market it that you got so many sales at the beginning? 😅
@@Marquetica I spent time researching competition, keywords, etc. All organic traffic. Learning so much from this channel!
Will Etsy charge the 0.20$ when we change a listing or update it with new content i.e. different colour and photos?
Secondly, can I change my shop location? Thank you so much for all the info, i have recently subscribed and love the brutal honesty. Keep going
Hi, to answer your questions:
1 No, they won't.
2 Only if you are physically living in your new location.
Good morning, recently started following you. You have the most straight forward videos. Question how do i check to see my listing scores. New to etsy and managed to reach the 100 sales last month. Took a year. I am wondering if my listing are perfectly optimized for the holidays. Can you give me some feedback please?
Hi Tanya, no one knows their listing scores, but you do not need to.
If the item is selling it has positive quality score and that is what we need to know.
The more the items sells the more quality score it collects.
As per your advice, I'm cleaning out old listings that have not sold in over a year.. If I deactivate a listing vs deleting it completely, does it still pull down the quality score of the shop?
Hey Lanefasts, either is fine, but I always advise to deactivate rather than delete, then you get a history of what is not working in your store.
my main thing i am selling is fancy bar soap molds that will be used for a bath, maybe throw a couple guest soaps in. Other than a few guest soaps, I 'm not doing small shaped soaps. I am not doing any animals, but I am wondering if I should do Halloween soap molds. I am going to put some lots on too. Should I forget the guest soaps and lots all together?
Halloween soap moulds is definitely worth a shot, go where the market is, what people want to buy. Use Etsy to find out.
i have about 83 listings but no sales 3 months old digital prints store with 6 sales only pls make a detailed video for digital print store the one video of yours I have seen about digital print but pls describe more about what payment to put SEO etc thanks

Hi Nik, thank you for the great info. Newbie here. My question is: what about long shipping times when drop-shipping items from China - does that lower rank?
Good question.
Hi, not directly, no. You could get indirect performance hits from bad reviews related to shipping delays, as an example.
Answered above.
Hi Nik, question here, is store location mandatory to declare for stores only selling digital downloads? If so, does it affect ranking? Thank you very much for this awesome content.
Hi, it is not mandatory but you should declare your location. For digital downloads, it does not affect ranking.
@@etsyconsultant thank you for your time :)
Thank you for sharing your great experience here. You mentioned 4 stars rating as good and 3 stars rating as neutral. I recently noticed a strange thing: the sales noticably decreased after 4 stars and finaly stopped after a consequent 3 star review. There were just four 5 star review prior them. Is it ok and things could get better or should I simply drop this 4-months-old store and start the one(s)?
Keep going, keep listing, keep developing your store, and these reviews will be gone over time and will not matter.
Hey Nick, hope you're well! Thanks, as usual, for a terrific video. I have a few questions regarding pod t-shirt listings and ranking. Specifically, does the Etsy algorhythm rank a store and/or a listing differently for a simple listing (one design), and a complex listing (more than one design, combining several products from my print provider and entering the SKUs for each variation manually)? I like creating complex listings, I feel they add dimension. But it's quite time consuming. Am I doing more work for the exact same ranking result as a simple listing? Also, would creating these more time consuming listings garner more interest in my store in the long term, making them worth my time and effort? One more question (lol, I just want to get this right). What would you think about many separate listings instead of one complex listing? For instance, the exact same graphic and text, but a different skin tone on the person in the graphic for each listing, using 3 skin tones. Thanks so much for taking the time to consider my questions.

Thanks for your video. Very helpful. How do you keep your shop active once you have listed over 1, 000 products? Do you keep creating listings?
Hi there, Sailmah just by removing and replacing products that don't work you will be active with that many listings.
Do you do reviews on Etsy stores that sell vintage items, mostly one off items? Thanks!
I was going to ask the same thing. Listing quality score and adding listings daily seems to help my shop. but I would love a deep dive into selling vintage video. Hint hint😁
Hi Barb, thanks for your comment. Yes, you can click the 'hire me' icon in the banner and book a call with me, i'd love to help you.
Is there a way to SEE which keywords resulted in a sale on etsy or erank? I only see which ones had views but nothing connected to a specific sale I had - it would be a major help to see which keywords exactly was typed by a customer and made that sale - every sale. Views don't tell much, there doesn't seem to be enough info or reddit/quora etc... Do you maybe have a video on this topic, Nick?
Hi Nicole, unfortunately no one has access to this data, only Etsy.
@@etsyconsultant hey Nick, thanks for answering! I thought that was maybe the case since I couldn’t find the answer. Quite a shame, in my opinion, to not give us this data for our OWN shop. As a seller, literally, how can I tell what exactly works and what not. I’m sure this data should be disclosed to shop owners, but not sure why it’s a secret. Maybe only for Offside Ads. Correct me if I’m wrong.
I was also asking one other thing some days ago, you probably missed that one (I understand, you’re a busy man and appreciate always your feedback). Just a quick one - if dead listings have some sales long time in past, is it still advisable to delete those and make new from these (aka copy a listing, tweak it, publish new and delete the old)? Or keep the old and tweak the old? Thank you very much in advance🙏
Was there a major change to Etsy in the last month ? I have sold for 8 yrs and had a steady income, and i am down to zero sales. 2 shops and both turned off like a light switch …
Hi, no there wasn't but I have noticed a drop in sales volume in my clients stores in November.
You are not alone. My sales died in Sept and haven't returned. The same happened last year in October. I'm wondering if its just the volume of listings added for Christmas.
Any special advice for one of a kind listings/shops that can't rely on repeat sales to boost listings? Thanks.
Hi, yes, watch the below:
ruclips.net/video/zPzDptXFMoM/видео.html
@@etsyconsultant Thanks, I have been experimenting with grouping items together, it's just been so quiet, slow to see results. It was very validating to read your comment "One of a kind sellers are literally what the Etsy marketing place was built on....." I've been on there since 2003.
@@mybeadingart No problem!
I haven’t done videos as I am printing on demand, I have videos of me painting though? Do you think it’s worth ordering a product to video it?
You can do slideshow videos, using canva, not ideal but cheap. You can also order your own products, this is the best option, but of course not everyone can do this.
BIG JOB MAN
Big job indeed!
some gurus say you should avoid editting listings often. so you suggest editting them more frequently?
To clarify on what you have said, do not edit listings that are SELLING. Anything else is fine to edit.
@@etsyconsultant even changing a listing photo, price (anything in the listing) counts as editing, right? not just wording, title, description, tags etc. thanks so much btw for your reply
@@etsyconsultant will adding a video to a listing that is selling effect it?
The frustrating issue if star seller starts affecting rankings is that many UK sellers can't offer tracking as standard & still maintain competitive shipping prices, unlike US sellers. Not a happy bunny.
Thanks for the video though!
EDIT Thanks to Vesperto below for correcting me & pointing out all labels printed through Etsy contribute to star seller, whether Tracked or not
Yes but you can work well with uk buyers
@@ioannastekiapantou I'm not sure I understand what you're saying?
@@hannahmitchell87 you can live only with uk buyers and not to expect so much for USA is good job market your country
If you print label directly from Etsy it's still count to Star Seller ranking even if you shipping to USA without tracking.
@@ioannastekiapantou 60% of my income is from USA
Hi, thanks for the video! Just a question: can keywords in the title be mixed? For example, if the keywords are "tropical art" and "vintage landscape," is it better to maintain the order of the words in the title, or is it the same if I mix them like "Vintage tropical landscape"? thank you!
Hi, maintain the word order so that people can understand what it is that they are buying.
"Word salad" SEO titles look awful and confuse people.
Hi, Nick, my store has 320+ items, and I do not know how the number 5 *Regency* (don't let your store sleep: publish listings, renew listings, so Etsy sees your store is active/doing something) will apply in my case. I only sell digital cross stitch patterns, if you remember. In the last six months I managed to sell a little bit over 100 Euro every month. Could you please, give me an advice regarding the Regency thing in my case? Thank you!
Do not worry about recency, if you have 320+ items, you have recency.
Hello! When setting up a new shop, is it better to gradually add new listings -or- add a large amount of listings at one time? Also, does adding new variations to an active listing affect recency? And lastly, is each listing "ranked" separately, or is the shop ranked as a whole based on all the listings? Your videos are super helpful .. thank you!
When you start new shop i do it now is better to upload slow every day one listing
Hi Esperanza, and thanks for getting in touch. To answer your questions:
1 Gradually add new listings
2 No, this does not affect recency.
3 Every listing is ranked separately, and you also get a separate shop quality score as well.
Thanks!
@@etsyconsultant Is there a reason why we should not upload more than one product per day? If we are starting out with a heap of products ready to upload, is there a disadvantage to uploading even say 10 per day until we catch up?
Absolute gold - thank you!
Regarding the Translations, Location and Language in number 3, I am based in Australia selling digital products worldwide, but I was recently in the UK for 6 weeks (and still listing around 3 product a day) and my weekly views went from an average (in Australia) of 45 to over 400 whilst in the UK, would this have been to do with my IP address being in the UK? If so and as the local market is so limited in Australia would it be worthwhile changing location with a VPN - or wouldn't that work?
No problem! You moving around does not move the store location around, there will be another reason for any views spike. No do not use a VPN, you will run in to trouble with Etsy.
Thank you for the advice@@etsyconsultant
I’m located in Europe and i have a POD store on Etsy. I especially choose a print company in the US because i know this is the main market and I don’t want to ship overseas because i know this will be a turn off for many customers. So will my location still be a disadvantage if all my items are made and shipped from the US? Customers see that it is shipped locally.
Hi Twiggy, as far as selling to the main Etsy market in the US, unfortunately yes because your location is in Europe and as I mentioned I believe Etsy localizes the US.
Even if they did not localize the US you would still be at a disadvantage because your shop location is displayed on the store front.
I live in Norway and started a pod shop on Etsy. I cant see why this is an problem as long as the finished product is made in US and shipped to a customer in the US. I’m just the designer of the printing.
Hi Nik, on this topic, could it be solved by using a US-based IP address? (Proxies)
Also Nik, I am a UK citizen who has just moved to Spain? Is this a disadvantage as Etsy barely used in Spain.
One question…I am just starting my first shop for digital planners …as the planners will be in german language, i will make the shop in german language too. I am wondering to open a second shop niched to english audience for all my planers I translate later on into english. What do you think, have one multingual shop or two separated shops each niching down for the specific language for this purpose?
Hi Nahaa, and thanks for your question.
Just do one shop, Etsy auto translates products for you.
@@etsyconsultant oh thank you so much for your answer. Yes i know, but thats why I am unsure as my products are language specific. The german planners are written in german language (i make dated and undated planners and other journals) and the english „version“ are written in english (i translate the planners myself), so the products aren’t the same but language specific
About the location, I am in the Netherlands, but I see only digital downloads, so in my shop banner I do not disclose the country. Would this be a problem to sell more?
Hi Juliana, I would disclose your country for a trust perspective more than anything, buyers know they can see store location.
Wait so.. I am based in sweden, but I do print on demand, and my items are printed in the us and therefore shipped from the us, and so I want to target the us market. But since my shop technically is in sweden, do I show up more for the european market rather than the us market?
Hey Linnea, correct.
@@etsyconsultant is it only my location in my public profile that affects where I show up, or does my "shipping adress" affect that too? If I don't have my location in my profile, do I show up more "all over the world" and not just in europe?
Also, I heard in a podcast that some people have put in a location in the us even though they are in a different country, and that USED to be a problem, but apparently not anymore?..🤔 do you happen to know anything about that? If it's ok to use another location in order to target a specific market?
you mentioned shop location. I am based in Israel, and thinking of opening a shop to my wife's jewlerry, but I don't think there's a lot of traffic locally here in Israel, and want to ship to the US or EU as well ... Is that going to limit my exposure?
by the way, I absolutely love your videos and honesty ! it has been very valuable and taught me much needed information !!! thanks !!!!
Hi, the truth is that yes, if you are in Israel, you will not make as many sales as an identical shop in the USA, but don't let this put you off, if the jewelry is nice, you will make plenty of sales.

Hi. You mentioned about renewing listings. Were you referring to allowing them to autorenew every 3 months (I think that’s the timeline), or did you mean make updates and improvements to the listing? Thanks!
Hi Ben, yes allow them to auto renew (every 4 months FYI), you do not need to manually renew.
hi,i i had a new order of new listing,it is good to raise the price a little,because its get a little boost,or i sould not change anything of a new product that sell on the first time? thanks.
Hi Lidor, is the price too low for this item? Why do you feel the need to raise the price? Always set your price at the amount you are happy to receive, not what you THINK the customer wants to pay.
Just curious if having an Etsy seller account from 2013 with one item that i totally forgot about and never sold has affected my overall store now that I am actively trying to build it?

I live in london,ontario .. its been a month since i started my store
I just wanted to know , will i get suspended if i kept my store location as United States ? Because majorly i am using printify and using US based providers
Now my store location is set as london ...
i just want to make sure before making the changes
Didnt find information about this anywhere so i am asking for help , thanks
HI there, thanks for your comment. Set the location where you are, London Ontario. If you use production partners such as Printify - these need to be listed in the appropriate place within the listing.
I have about 300 listings of knitting patterns. Been open for 10 years. I have a few very good sellers and others that occasionally sell. If I get rid of non sellers and put them in the deactivated - what happens if I go below 100 products. Knitting patterns take a long time to produce so I cant just produce them in a morning. I think my non sellers are down to me not knowing the stuff that I know now so photos are not good and seo probably non existent - rather than them being un sellable. Shall I just re invent them?
Step by step make new designs and upload one and delete one
Hi, @ruth maddock , I have a cross stitch store and if I remember well, Nick told me that in this case we should deactivate the non-selling patterns/listings after 3 renewals/1 year and after that we could rename the patterns and modify the title & the description and publish it or even make it as a bundle, but I will ask @Etsy Consultant to confirm this, in case I got it wrong.
Hi Ruth and thanks for your important question.
So, in your case, you have to start listing management and slowly swap out listings that are dead (0 sales and 3 renewals or more), with fresh NEW listings.
Make sure you do this slowly, 1 listing per day is fine.
Making copies AND improving the copies then deleting the original listing, as Ovi partially mentioned, is good as a backup plan, but we want to try and list new replacement products.
if we are running a digital download store, can we skip the location part and put no specific location? or is it a bad idea to skip it? one more thing i am wondering is, can etsy locate our location even if we don't put it and rank us according to where we are? TYI
Hi there, thanks for your comment. You do need to add the location of where you are.
if we have a number of digital products ready, is it better to release them one a day, or just drop them all at once?
One a day keep in mind with one per day you keep frequency and your shop at the top
Hi Henry, one per day. Never list all at once.
Does "location" mean that unless you are located in the USA, you cannot really meet success? I'm in a small country but trying to sell to US customers
Hi Kiki, thanks for your comment. No it doesn't, it means that over 50% of customers are in the US.
In over a year I have made 3 sales. I have sold 2 POD items and one digital item.
My sells were back in May and June of this year. Both POD items were the same item.
No family involved in my purchases. Maybe my products aren't great or Maybe I have too many different items, maybe I need better photos, maybe I'm over priced? I have had larger creators take from me, I was surprised by that! Do I just leave it where it is and see what happens?
I don't want to open another store if my designs are 💩 lol.

Actually i reached out etsy and they say i can safely set my address to US where my print provider is located
Is store location relevant for digital items?
Yes for any kind of shop yes of course any person can buy it but fir algorithm is important
Hi Vladimir, officially no it does not matter, however I do personally feel that there is still localization happening with digital stores simply because there is no Digital/physical store switch.
Yes, I have around 200 items (I just purged a lot) and there are four items that sell much better than everything else…. Bringing up I that Location aspect you talked about this is something that’s always annoyed me about Etsy - I’ve suspected what you said for a long time. I live in Canada. I want to target the US market. But if US residents are seeing locally relevant listings first then my items will have to struggle that much harder to be seen….
Yes, unfortunately Canada is localized, and I think that is really rough for Canadian sellers, because most of their orders (usually over 80%) go to the US.
@@etsyconsultant I just today opened another shop. Still in process of setting up. However, I did this before seeing your comment and I remember one of the questions was “In what country is the shop located”. Once again I chose Canada not knowing if I could have chosen the US even though I don’t live there… very annoying.
I get like 20-30views and 15-25 visits, but don't get any sales. I've got 6sales till now with 106 listings, Am i doing something wrong?
Hi Motion, I depends, too many variables to answer here. How long have you been open, etc....
@@etsyconsultant It's been like 3-4 months. And I've been listing atleast one product per day. Should I keep listing or should I change it.
I dont understand the part with 50 sales you said at the end
Γεια σου Ιωαννα. Αν δεν κανω λαθος, νομιζω εννοει τις 50 παραγγελιες που δεν εχουν αποσταλει ακομα, με την εννοια του να μην αργεις να αποστειλεις τις παραγγελιες σου! Φιλικα,Δημητρης
@@DieCleanWMFT ευχαριστώ πολύ για την απάντηση. Ευτυχώς δεν αργώ να στείλω πράγματα. Έχεις και εσύ μαγαζί στο έτσυ;
Hey, I am saying you do not want a store with 50 products in it but only 3 sell, you want a store where many more items sell so that your quality score is spread out amongst your products.
@@ioannastekiapantou έχω ναι. Ποιο είναι το όνομα του δικού σου;
@@DieCleanWMFT μου το έχουν κλείσει λόγο της ταυτότητας μου που δεν έχει ημερομηνία λήξης
i saw something about using a vpn to sell to diffrent countries but isn't that illegal, like if you get caught with it bet you gotta pay up big xD
Hi Snow, yes this is against Etsy TOS, you would get your store suspended permanently.
@@etsyconsultant thnx for the warning i live in Europe but made everything in English and not my native language hope that's good enough then
@@infernal6969 I am in the same position and I have no problems in selling my items all over the world because my products have English title and English description.
I love your content almost as much as the fat cat pillow on the couch 🐱 🛋
I do love cats! Thank you!
That's a bit harsh and the second video you mentioned it. Maybe those stores are selling jewellery for tea cups.
Lol maybe?
How can I make sales without Etsy ads??
Hi Olly, list more items, slowly at 1 a day, and get to 100, this is key.
@@etsyconsultant once it’s done I’ll send you my shop
Your video has great content. However you need to make them more intrective fast paced and get straight to the point. And add a lot of graphics and dynamicity cuz they're too steady.
