I feel like this video is exactly what I needed in this moment. So thank you! You might already have another SEO video, but I appreciate the advice you have in this one! I always struggle with SEO because, while a lot of the Etsy Pod youtubers have a lot of overlapping advice, I feel like SEO is not one of them (unless I am misinterpreting the advice). I think you and Shawna have both recently said that looking at the other best sellers in your niche, crossrefferencing the ones used in multiple, and most oftenly occur, and using a format that goes like: [most relevant keyword, good keyword, other good keywords, longtail keyword] Is something that makes so much sense! It seems like the most sound advice yet! I will be employing it. I feel like my problem is that I don't understand why NOT to use other suggestions I have heard. I have heard others say to omit the commas and try to make everything a longtail keyword that build off the last keywords (example: mom shirt for coffee lover tee) to capture mom shirt, coffee lover tee, and shirt for coffee lover. I also hear not to use the same word more than once. Like I don't have to say "mug for mom" and "mama mug" because etsy will take both keywords and imply that it can be a "mama mug" and a "mom mug" as long as both titles for mom are in there somewhere it will mix and match. Or should you repeat the word mug but put the commas in so it understands the most specific search terms? Maybe not the best example... but hopefully you understand what I'm trying to say. There seem to be so many methods and want to know why some things might not be a good idea, and why. Not just why something is a good idea? Ya know what I'm sayin'? Or is this all good advice and I'm overthinking it? 😂 Thanks again so much for the info you provide in this video! I'm off to scrutinize my adds now and rethink my strategy! I appreciate all of the value you provide 😊
This video could not have come at a better time, as I am agonizing over my ad spend. I have organic sales, but sales don't seem to go up when I add these listings to my ad spend. Maybe my niche is so specific that I don't need ads? Been burning a lot of cash. Thanks so much for the tips and I will check out Hannah's software too.
I agree with Starla Moore from Erank, who says that spending money on Etsy ads for a new listing is like betting on a horse with no form. In other words, a complete gamble and therefore not recommended unless you can afford to lose the money.
How long would you recommend a listing to have ads turned on to accumulate the data on TACOS before making a decision based on the data? 7, 14, 30 days?
Cassiy, thank you for sharing so many cool tips! It really helps! Just recenty I started getting orders and already completed my first one but with the second one Printify keeps showing the same error over and over again "Sorry we could't save your product...". I tried cleaning cookies, different browsers and even different computers. Nothing worked... The help center says they will resolve it but when? What if it takes them weeks... I can't lose my first customers... Have you had similar issues? Thank you in advance!
I have never heard of that issue, I would keep reaching out to customer support and see if they can help and hopefully they will have it fixed for you really quickly! Congrats on your first sales though
Cassiy, I really need your advice! Could you please consider doing consultation calls? I’ve had a shop focused on Digital Downloads geared towards decor for teachers first less than a year, but I’m considering POD. Do I start POD from this shop or start a new one? I don’t know if I should stay niched on teachers or if it’s better to have a strictly POD shop for various niches. Please help!
Thank you for this video, My question is: Let's say I went with option 1 (5-20 litings that have sold before) what should I do with the new listings I add to my shop?
@@EcomHannah What if those items are a 1 and done type item? I sell tumblers and all but 1 design has only 1 that I have to offer. I also do POD items but only a few of those have sold. Do I just have ads on those items?
Should I create different shops for each niche I want to dive into if I am trying to create a “brand” or name for my products? Definitely focused on long term scalable store rather than just quick $.
I would just have one big general store! Here is a link to a video I made all about why if you're interested ruclips.net/video/29_CXYFaVa0/видео.htmlsi=XX-Js0Lz121f_fjm
I run ads on my digital store maybe once or twice a week and it usually gives me a good profit. You can do a low budget liek $2-$5 a day and see what works best for you.
I paid for a click today on a completely irrelevant search term that has been turned off for a long time. I think, at the very least, if a customer arrives at your item via a search word/term that is already turned off, you shouldn't have to pay for that click. Otherwise it's pointless. On top of that, it can be incredibly time consuming going in to turn off those irrelevant search terms as they change on a daily basis.
Some good tips here but I disagree on title content, whatever your data may suggest, sorry! And so does Etsy: "Brief, clear listing titles are preferable over a long confusing jumble of keywords, because it helps shoppers understand exactly what you’re selling" says the Seller Handbook. Their advice is to keep titles clear and succinct, ideally 40 characters or less. The tip I've always followed is to construct your title for a human reader and your tags for a computer.
I thought this too but have changed my mind since testing both methods in my shop. As much as Etsy says they prefer clear, brief titles, the data shows time and time again that those listings aren't performing as well.
@@yc5000 how can it be proven that it was the title that influenced the sale, though? All the data can really prove is that the title didn't prevent the sale. Personally I loathe keyword-stuffed titles and am put off by them. There may be many more people like me!
Thank you so much for having me :]

I think what they mean is that you can collect data a lot faster running the ads, not so much how much you make/lose with the ads.
@Bekind95 same conclusion applies - only do this if you can afford to lose the money.
@@SpeedbirdHeavy Yes, of course.
Yes. Collecting that initial data does in fact cost money and if you don't know what you're doing, it will definitely cost you longer than it has to.
thanks for another awesome video and guest!
How long would you recommend a listing to have ads turned on to accumulate the data on TACOS before making a decision based on the data? 7, 14, 30 days?
How long do you wait after posting a new listing to look at the TACOS?
Thank you Cassiy and Hannah!

The safe play is to only turn ads on for the ones that make sales :]

how to open my Etsy store from Bangladesh, please help me.
In the last 30 days I had like 2.2k views but no 'searches that led to this ad', so how can I find the most relevant keywords?
I want to start a shop that sells digital items but I cant see how advertising could be profitable on something that is $3? What are your suggestions?
Make bundles and advertise those.
