1. Not having a banner
2. Not having sections
3. No announcement
4. Cropped image on thumbnail
5. Adding text to images (they are too small to see on mobile)
6. Not using consistent background images for listings
7. Not writing SEO-friendly titles
8. Bad tags. One word tags are bad. Use e-rank to research.
9. Bad descriptions. Keep SEO in mind writing product descriptions
10. Promoting on social media
What is SEO
@@MrDaffyBugs Search Engine Optimization
Thank you 😊
I came across your videos by googling how to create an account on Etsy and wow I'm mind blown of the amount of information you've shared. I truly appreciate your time and effort in creating this informative content. 😊
Is $450 in sales good for a shop opened around a month ago?
Love your content and delivery
Exactly what I was looking for mate, your helping me get closer to posting my first listings.
Super helpful information!! I learned a lot! Thank you
10 made me soooo happy! Thanks!
another great video, agree with the social media as well.
Great advice
Nice tips. Like your channel🌸
I have been watching your channel for the past 4 weeks, great content I find it very helpful. Would you recommend when offering different colors for digital downloads to have one listing with the option to select the desired color or multiple listings for each individual color option? Not sure which would have the best impact. Thank you!
Thanks so much for your input! Would you recommend having friends and family buy the first products and leave a review in order to get your shop off the ground? Or did you always do it "just" with SEO optimization etc?
Thank you for all your videos, very helpful. I was surprised to find that Pinterest really worked at bringing sales in for me. I no longer bother with Facebook for Instagram as too much work for little return. I now only invest my time in Etsy, Pinterest, and my website. It is hard work but hopefully, it will be worth it.
Great stuff! Also, great channel!! I've subscribed.
I have only seen a couple of your videos so far, but can you (or anyone) tell me if it's better to create one poster and start my Etsy store with it right away? Or should I create 3 or 4, and then launch my store?
I love this man
Really helpful tips! Thank you for sharing them. As a newbie I found tips 3, 5, 7, and 8 were most helpful to me. Etsy is wonderful, but there's so much to learn as a seller and creating products is only one small part of it. I appreciate your insights which give me hope that one day soon I'll gain some skins and ultimately more confidence.
You got this! Best of luck on your Etsy journey 🙌
Thank you for the valuable advice!!
Thank you for watching!
Thank you very much, Brandon, I am a new seller and I am still trying to figure out how ranking really works, I hope I can soon ask for a coaching call with you
Thanks for taking me THROUGH THIS! i AM A HORRIBLE LEARNER ON VIDEOS. You made things very clear for me.
Wow I'm glad you found these videos helpful!
My store is BusinessNorth and I don't how I can get better. I've followed all your tips, so I would appreciate if you could give me a hand 👌 Thanks for all the work you've done for us, you're a lifesaver Brandon
Hey Brandon! BlissBlessBe is my Etsy store. Thanks for sharing your wisdom. :)
Thank you for this video guide as many successful Etsy sellers that I trust said the same thing too. I tried these with my shop with no social media and it does bring slow, but steady sales as I’m new. I discovered that when I post a new listing consistently every week, Etsy started bringing more customers to my shop. This was the missing piece to the puzzle I felt..🙌🏼
Yes this is also very true! Thanks for sharing :)
What bookkeeping software do you use for your physical shops?
Great video Brandon! Is it a good idea to open a general Etsy store and have a mix of a lot of niches and products in 1 store so that it becomes easier to manage the store from just 1 email account and from customer support perspective? I am planning to open 2 Etsy stores wherein 1 store will be dedicated to only giftable jewelry but my second Etsy store will have POD items like mugs,tees,sweatshirts etc from multiple evergreen and trendy niches and also digital download items like printables,canva templates,planners, social media templates to make it easier for me as I still work full-time so managing multiple Niche stores simultaneously will be difficult for me, would really appreciate your thoughts on this, thanks ahead of time🙏
Thank you! It's interesting to hear your point of view on social media promotion when it comes to Etsy. I just started and it felt so overwhelming to think about starting social media accounts from scratch. I will focus my energy solely on the shop now!
Yea too much to worry about when starting out. Best of luck on your Etsy journey 🙌
@@brandontimothy thanks ✨
You’re so right about the social media, I can post something about my Etsy Shop & will get a lot of likes but NO ONE will click on the link provided
Perfect
Hey Brandon, I have an idea for your RUclips videos:
Comment / review / offer constructive feedback to people's Etsy shops where you do an analysis of what they could do better. People could just comment their store on your socials and you could pick some.
Good way for growing not only your following, offer good content, but also to support smaller shops 😊
This is a great idea! Thank you for sharing. I will start in the new year :)
@@brandontimothy amazing! Looking forward, I will stay tuned 😍
Hello, I have two stores, the first of which is my printable wall art; cetxaStudio, and 2nd lightroom preset; What do you think I missed in the cetxaLRPresets ?
KairisTees is my shop and you are more than welcome to use it at any time. I am so glad I found your channel. I like to have a variety of different teachers since everyone teaches things in different ways. I'm determined to make this work for me.
You make it work 🙌 All the best to your Etsy seller journey!
Thank u. We put a picture online and people said they want to buy it... I am trying to figure out how to get this one photo put onto an etsy store and have it have size options. Am researching POD and want to know what companies use. Thanks!
Great chanel. I just started couple weeks ago on Etsu and is still learning. Curious what you can say about my shop CrossSticthArtHouse. Thank you beforehand.
ArtPrintAvenue is my etsy store. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Thank you for watching!
I agree leave the social media alone if you want to focus on organic sales.
🙌🙌
How much seo boost you’d attribute to tags? For what I understand they are not clickable which I find a big lost opp to find similar products 😮what’s your take?
hi,i have clothes shop on etsy,and i want to start selling stickers on this shop,it is a good idea?
Hi! Do you coach 1:1?
Thanks so much! Would you consider a video on how to create high quality mock-ups for Canva templates? Your other mock-up videos are great (thank you!), but I'm having a hard time specifically creating mockups for Canva templates (effectively, a piece of paper) that rival what is on Etsy. Thanks!
LunalyCreations is my Etsy store, I've had it for about a month now.
Thanks for sharing!
I just bought one of your 50 idea product at your site, but I have some questions, but there is no contact info... how do I contact you?
Hi I’m from indonesia, is my shop accessible for other countries? Especially for the payment, etsy doesn’t provide paypal anymore😭
Hi Brandon! I love the content you create and would love to do a collaboration with you! I tried emailing you but I received an email saying the delivery was incomplete... Let me know if you would be interested and how I can connect with you!
Hi Brandon I am so impressed with your videos! As a beginner digital product seller its help me alot. My bigger concern is i dnt have many listing in my etsy shop. But i am working to get more listings. How do I create many listings every day?
Outsourcing is one way to streamline the creation process
Glad you found my videos helpful! All the best to your Etsy seller journey
1shotaway is my Etsy store. I started in Oct 2022.
Thank you!
Is there a way to message you privately?
Can I categories 1 listing in multiple categories? Or would I have to duplicate my listing and place it in the relevant categories?
Each listing can only be categorized in 1 section unfortunately🥲
Noooooo. Okay then, I guess I'll make my categories as specific as possible 😆
in the announcement section what do i include
Hey there! The announcement section of your Etsy shop is a fantastic way to keep your customers in the loop about all the exciting things happening in your shop, such as promotions, sales, and updates to your shop policies. You can start by introducing yourself and your shop to potential customers. 😃
Nickparrr is my store name can you review it
Hi Brandon! I can't reach your offical site for coaching. Did you change your sites url ?
I did :( it should work now. Are you able to check again please?
@@brandontimothy Yes, it's working now :)
@@NiluferFICICI perfect! Thanks for checking
Is Redbubble a better choice to sell art than Etsy?
Think it's oversaturated
I just finished project and when i add my pictures they get blurry every time and i check so many videos and sites but no help. If someone can help me i will be so grateful
@angvol1702 you talk about ppi or something else? And can You tell me how to check dpi and change it, thank You.
Are you familiar with Etsy "re-listing" fee? Did you know that "everytime" you sell a single quantity, you are also charged a 0.20cents "re-listing" fee? For example, if you have qty 999, and sell 1 item, and you are left with 998, you are STILL being charged a 0.20cents of "re-listing" fee even though you have 998 at hand? Why are they charging "re-listing" fee, when nothing is been "re-listed?" What do you think about this practice? I want to see what other sellers think...
What is SEO
Search engine optimization - it’s the process of improving your site/shop to increase its visibility when people search for something online
So for example key words in titles/descriptions/tags?
Do you need a lot of money to start?
Is this digital marketing?
DeziaPrints, I need a mentor😭...please help me out
First
🙌🙌
Today was a bad day.... Etsy close my account after my first sale
Please use one of my shops in your next video 😁😁 1.FinelyFine 2.CucaiCreations 3.OurSpecialTee
Hey Brandon.... love your videos! I'm a newbie kindly help me choose EverBee or eRank?? Newbie here....
I’d recommend both. Everbee to research listings, and eRank to research supply and demand. Even if you just use it for a month only, you can gain a lot of intel!
@@brandontimothy thanks 😊
Thank you for you’re videos. Feel Free to use my shop as an example in your videos. Just had my shop openend. And I was focussing on instagram and FB. Will try to focus on Etsy. NailsatFlakkee is my shop.
