    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

    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 😊

    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..🙌🏼

    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.

    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!

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.

    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🙏

    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...
