People don't like the Etsy search telling them what they want vs. the old more precise search. People are leaving Etsy when they can't find what they want... because a stupid AI tells them they want something other than what they type in the search.
I have over 40,000 sales on Etsy and am in the same boat as that guy. None of my best sellers are selling. I am getting a trickle of sales but mostly return customers. I am down 75% comparing last Oct to Nov 4th. Your ad theory helped me to calm down last week. Thank you.
Last October I had 2,000+ sales and it's WAAAY down this year. However, In the US I think the commonality is also during election seasons. I am willing to bet sales will start to increase after this week. Fingers crossed!
Etsy's the problem with what's going on! They need to remove Joshy before it gets any worse. He has a history of messing up companies and then leaving. So my sales this year have been a major challenge... in due to random times my listings aren't shown in search and falling victim to Etsy glitches. At the very end of May, somehow my handmade shop was flagged as non handmade, and then they couldn't figure out the city I lived in was in the US (they thought South Dakota was somewhere in Asia?!), finally they told me I sold a restricted product (cat toys... oh PLEASE!). It took me 30 days of calling & tweeting Etsy to get my shop back to normal status. I'm doing everything I can think of to make this a record holiday season (including advertising outside of Etsy)... but that's all going to depend if I'm going to be shown in search or not! The majority of those listings are going to new shops and shops with less than 1k sales. I'm 18.5k with a 2013 shop, so I am definitely not on their love list anymore. 😞
I totally agree and until a new president has been elected people are nervous. I think about spending money. I can’t put food on their table. How can they be buying stuff from Etsy shop? We’ll see after Tuesday
I don't think it is. I'm a mail carrier, I work alongside UPS, Amazon and FedEx who run the same route as I do. We have all been on overtime because the amount of packages has begun to soar already since around 3 weeks ago. So I don't think it is economy.
I’ve been on Etsy for 15 yrs. Usually a couple of hundred viewers looking about a 1000 items. I keep about 300 listings. Since the 1st of October I am getting maybe 15-25 viewers daily. Most of my buyers are returning customers. Almost no new buyers this year. Etsy’s changes should not be so devastating to any one shop. Yes, Etsy is hurting, but certainly many shops are doing quite well. If everyone was doing poorly, they would shut down. I just think it’s incompetence on the part of those they employ.
Over 10,000 sales over 2 years and similar to the above, my best sellers have stopped. October and so far November have been abysmal. Etsy keep telling me everything is fine in my shop but isn't. Today is a prime example, last year 40 sales. Today 2.... To note, I am in the UK so is tough to pin it on the election.
My sales have dried up too. I'm in the UK and every item I make is a hand-made one-off so I don't expect masses of sales, but I've always has a steady stream over the years
I have been on Etsy for 12.5 years.... 171,000 + sales. 4th quarter historically makes up a huge part of my annual income. This year. Not a fat frickin chance. Extremely disheartening
Sales were down entire October, but Yesterday 11/3 for some reason sales spiked like crazy for me. Hopefully it continues through out the week. I went from 1-2 sales a day to 7 yesterday all different items.
UK here, over 7K sales, 5 1/2 yr old shop. Star Seller, Oct-Dec my key selling time. Totally dropped in October, the last week 64% down on last year. I am normally really busy at this time. I'm having to think about looking for another job come January if this doesn't pick up soon, I'm devasted, put so much in to my small business :-(
Australia here. Same. Nearly 9000 sales. Down massively compared to this time last year. I’ve also noticed that activity on my shop is happening overnight, so it looks like my search visibility is happening when my customers are asleep!Sadly, job hunting might be on my New Year’s resolution list, too. 😕
Who here has a niche shop only? I have about five different niches in one shop. My philosophy is that people like to go to a shop like they would go to say Macy’s or target or something like that so they don’t have to keep leaving the store and going somewhere else this way, I have stuff that they can look around for if they have a baby if they’re going on a cruise if they’re trying to give someone a gift for a woman or a baby gift or a toddler or young girl it’s not just all one department who else is like this
Conversion link please. I’m an Australian seller, so can’t blame an election for the sudden drying up of sales. I’m lucky that I make beaded jewellery and sell it on Etsy as a hobby- I don’t rely on it for my income. But I’m feeling so disheartened. I’ve poured my heart and soul into my little Etsy business. I have wonderful feedback from my customers and my store has grown organically over the last couple of years. I’ve followed all of your advice. I’ve reviewed my listings and updated them, taken new photos, run sales and worked on sending traffic via social media. I’ve increased my ad budget. All to no avail. I really do appreciate your videos and I’m hoping that as a result of your influence (and that of others who really understand how Etsy works- if that’s possible) that Etsy will get the message and fix it.
Yep, same here! I've been on Etsy for 7 yrs with over 13k sales. These last 30 days YOY I'm down 57% on visits, 62% on orders, 57% on revenue. Should be so busy in lead up to Xmas by now. So worrying!
since 1 October sales have been abysmal. I have 8K plus sales and October is usually the start of Xmas - now it's practically zero I'm in the UK, have bestsellers (had) too.
I'm a brand new shop starting June. Even as a new shop I was able to make a few sales in the first months, getting daily views and visits, favorites...I was hoping for a Q 4. And after Oct 1st, my views and visits fall of a cliff. No favorites, obviously no sales. As a new Etsy seller, I might still be on a learning curve, but after listening and reading comments from established shops, I wonder if I will ever be able to sell on Etsy.
yup. Fulltime EU seller. 4 last christmasses I had order piled up to the ceiling of our workshop. like 50 orders a day... Now last weekend...5 orders...Still sales, but like a couple a day max. I'm actually bored... I produce like 2h a day and I'm on top of my orders.
My conversion rate has been steady, it's the traffic drop that is crushing me. I also run Etsy ads and the traffic was affected there as well. Enough so that they reduced my max budget amount.
It's not only them, it's MANY Etsy sellers, including me. For a month, I had maybe 2 sales a week (usually 2/day). Then one week, something was "turned on" and I had sales like normal. The next week, and since then, it's been crickets again.
Same pattern for me, it’s feast or famine. What good is it to get a home sales on one day and then no sales on any other days at all averages out to a very small amount of sales of one to two sales a day that’s about all I can make I’m not.A print on demand shop
One primary customer on etsy is other sellers. Given how many people have been suspended for no apparent reason and had immediate denials of their appeal, and that you can no longer buy once suspended, I can't help but wonder how much of the traffic drop is due to that loss.
I was suspended from Etsy (long story). However, the fact they won't even let you buy is beyond stupid. There are many things I would have bought on Etsy but I can't now. It's the worst policy ever. There was no dishonesty on my part, it was a business partner running one of my Etsy stores and he had some celebrities on stickers and here we are. I am sorry I can't buy from you Etsy sellers any more and I'm just one, there are so many more.
I have 18k sales (opened 2020). I've just shut down the POD shop and am reinvesting my time into an entirely new business for this exact reason: plummeting sales. I'm tired of the continued bungling on Etsy's part. Cutting the chord.
All of your recent videos have convinced me that Etsy is not for me. I am so happy that I already have an established website and email list. I was cross posting to different markets and Etsy is not worth it. And yes, I have older history (and sales) with Etsy a few years ago.
I have over 23,000 sales and the last three months I’ve noticed an extreme drop in sales, best sellers have dropped off, Etsy picks have dropped and yet all of my listings are optimized. Hoping to glean something from this video.
I knew that things are slower on October but I did not realize it was so bad for some of the sellers. For me it has been 3 days without a sale and only two emails which is shocking for me. Not mention I just increased my Etsy ads budget and created a 20% off sale which I have never done it before.
Hi - can someone help - I downloaded this email booklet which is mentioned. I then started creating my email with everbee but the realised that everbee do NOT email your etsy buyers directly with your landing page asking them to subscribe to mailing list as now etsy do not allow. So please someone explain how do get the first email to your etsy buyers automatically once they purchase from yoy - or do you have to manually email each person as etsy do not allow third parties to do!!
Mine stopped over night in February which is normally good. Then another sharp drop soon as gift mode introduced. A lot used to buy vintage goods from shop. Massive drop this year. Only shops doing well are Etsy pic shops. Most are my repeat customers few new ones. All the changes are not doing platform much good too many changes. Some good changes though too.
Definitely seeing a big decline in Etsy from our shop that has over 9,000 sales. Haven't been able to figure out what to do correctly to change the direction of sales over the past few years of declining sales.
October was abnormally slow for me. Had to run 20% off sales everyday to get by. This past week, though I had my best selling week of all time in over 7 years….. I’ll take it!
After the shipping change my sweatshirt prices were all updated from $25 to $47 automatically, so double check on your prices if any changes were made.
Only you can change the prices on your items if you did something to your shipping like now you’re are offering free shipping or free shipping on 35+ a box automatically came up that said do you want to increase the prices of your items to cover shipping so you would’ve had to select that and then Etsy would automatically up the prices of everything Etsy does not automatically change your prices and Etsy changed their prices
Has anyone else noticed that the tags you have on product listings are not showing on the front end? It seems.there may be a glitch in Etsy, and it is showing random weird tags on my products.
My friend has been able to keep an income and sustain it for 11 years without working outside her home due to her etsy shop. She has a true handmade shop. Now, it's so down that she is looking for a job.
I have had the same situation. This is normally my busiest time of the year and in past years I have done so many that I had to pause my shop. It's zero now in spite of the ads! What is going on?
One more thing. I find it suspect that Etsy would change up the algorithm at the start of the holiday shopping season. These three months make or break many businesses.
I have mare than 2000 sales. I make and sell large items such as benches and hanging wall plate racks. I usually have 10 orders in the works. I have gone more than a week without a sale and the views are way off too.
Who cares about “rights” you have the right to email, every customer has their email and there are tools to mass collect.. if you are self regulating because your scared the inrernet police are gonna come after then that’s your own insecurity holding you back
Etsy keeps tinkering and they make things worse. The natural flow of things doesn't change on a dime. If this person went from 19,000 to zero, something 'unnatural' has happened. Let add this example to the barn full I have already to drop Etsy and get a real sales platform.
Mine was starting last month 85 percent down und normally i got a lot of sale end of the month until first week of the month but but october end nothing and this month only one sale. I hope it gets better.

Not just America, I'm in UK, my constant busy shop has slowed down to a trickle, I should be working hard now to get orders out for Xmas, I'm twiddling my thumbs waiting for orders, I'm now working on a gift based shop to open in 2025 even though I'm a greeting card shop it's very quiet

Yes. My revenue is down 63% from this week last year. I had only a couple orders last week. Views/visits are fairly normal, but sales are down. I do notice the same pattern every election year, however. I expect this week will also be slow. Not to make it political, but after the 2016 Trump victory, my sales spiked pretty hard, but after the Biden victory they lessened considerably, worsening every Q4. It could be that people are waiting it out to see which way the wind will blow.
I think (if I had to guess a number) maybe 60% of all ads that would normally be Etsy or other platform ads have been replaced with election ads, lets see how it changes after the election. I have not dropped like others however I do a lot of work on social media and advertising. My numbers are WAYYYY up since last year but I have been increasing steady all year. Last year (for my early shop) wasn't much to compare to.

Whoever is running Etsy has destroyed not only the Etsy platform and has taken away the income of many people. We need an Elon Musk type to come up with a better platform for hand crafters. My business started tanking when Etsy started allowing the larger suppliers to open shops. Small businesses just can't compete with large scale sellers. It's become a Walmart.

People don't like the Etsy search telling them what they want vs. the old more precise search. People are leaving Etsy when they can't find what they want... because a stupid AI tells them they want something other than what they type in the search.
Yep
pinterest did this also and they went from good to boring
I have over 40,000 sales on Etsy and am in the same boat as that guy. None of my best sellers are selling. I am getting a trickle of sales but mostly return customers. I am down 75% comparing last Oct to Nov 4th. Your ad theory helped me to calm down last week. Thank you.
Maybe Etsy sales are down because people are reading up about Etsy on Trust Pilot, their rating is far worst than Red Bubble's
Last October I had 2,000+ sales and it's WAAAY down this year. However, In the US I think the commonality is also during election seasons. I am willing to bet sales will start to increase after this week. Fingers crossed!
Etsy's the problem with what's going on! They need to remove Joshy before it gets any worse. He has a history of messing up companies and then leaving. So my sales this year have been a major challenge... in due to random times my listings aren't shown in search and falling victim to Etsy glitches. At the very end of May, somehow my handmade shop was flagged as non handmade, and then they couldn't figure out the city I lived in was in the US (they thought South Dakota was somewhere in Asia?!), finally they told me I sold a restricted product (cat toys... oh PLEASE!). It took me 30 days of calling & tweeting Etsy to get my shop back to normal status. I'm doing everything I can think of to make this a record holiday season (including advertising outside of Etsy)... but that's all going to depend if I'm going to be shown in search or not! The majority of those listings are going to new shops and shops with less than 1k sales. I'm 18.5k with a 2013 shop, so I am definitely not on their love list anymore. 😞
Maybe it's time to admit this is the economy...even local exhibition/sales are down on people attending and spending
I totally agree and until a new president has been elected people are nervous. I think about spending money. I can’t put food on their table. How can they be buying stuff from Etsy shop? We’ll see after Tuesday
I don't think it is. I'm a mail carrier, I work alongside UPS, Amazon and FedEx who run the same route as I do. We have all been on overtime because the amount of packages has begun to soar already since around 3 weeks ago. So I don't think it is economy.
I think it's time to do a video saying forget about Etsy.There's no chance of making any sales anymore.That's what the next video needs to be
I’ve been on Etsy for 15 yrs. Usually a couple of hundred viewers looking about a 1000 items. I keep about 300 listings. Since the 1st of October I am getting maybe 15-25 viewers daily. Most of my buyers are returning customers. Almost no new buyers this year. Etsy’s changes should not be so devastating to any one shop. Yes, Etsy is hurting, but certainly many shops are doing quite well. If everyone was doing poorly, they would shut down. I just think it’s incompetence on the part of those they employ.
Also don’t forget to add that Etsy was using 3 party company to run ads now they do it in-house (to lower the cost)
However this isn’t clearly working
Over 10,000 sales over 2 years and similar to the above, my best sellers have stopped. October and so far November have been abysmal. Etsy keep telling me everything is fine in my shop but isn't. Today is a prime example, last year 40 sales. Today 2....
To note, I am in the UK so is tough to pin it on the election.
I was used to $1k+ a month, and October sales was $50. WTF!
My sales have dried up too. I'm in the UK and every item I make is a hand-made one-off so I don't expect masses of sales, but I've always has a steady stream over the years
I have been on Etsy for 12.5 years.... 171,000 + sales. 4th quarter historically makes up a huge part of my annual income. This year. Not a fat frickin chance. Extremely disheartening
I searched for a shirt I made, typed in every single word and it did not come up. ETSY is over.
Sales were down entire October, but Yesterday 11/3 for some reason sales spiked like crazy for me. Hopefully it continues through out the week. I went from 1-2 sales a day to 7 yesterday all different items.
But that’s just a one day thing before you can call it a new trend. It’s got a continue to do that for weeks.
@@sassy81852 yup, was just a one day thing :(
Same with me, exactly 11/3, in one day, I had almost half of the sales of the whole october.
Come to think of it my sales ARE down. Last year I had to repeatedly go into vacation mode because I got too busy, this year not so much.
UK here, over 7K sales, 5 1/2 yr old shop. Star Seller, Oct-Dec my key selling time. Totally dropped in October, the last week 64% down on last year. I am normally really busy at this time. I'm having to think about looking for another job come January if this doesn't pick up soon, I'm devasted, put so much in to my small business :-(
exactly the same from Belgium here. over 7k sales, selling for the past 6/7 years, star seller...
Australia here. Same. Nearly 9000 sales. Down massively compared to this time last year. I’ve also noticed that activity on my shop is happening overnight, so it looks like my search visibility is happening when my customers are asleep!Sadly, job hunting might be on my New Year’s resolution list, too. 😕
Im down 60%. So upsetting
Who here has a niche shop only? I have about five different niches in one shop.

My friend texted me who has an art Etsy shop and asked me why she’s had zero sales lately. I’ve had an Etsy shop since 2011 and I’m leaving!
Then you will have zero sales
@ Nope. I am switching to Amazon. At least that has the worldwide market and better search engines.
Conversion link please. I’m an Australian seller, so can’t blame an election for the sudden drying up of sales.

So many peoples shops have flat lined (including mine). This tells me that the customers are GONE and going elsewhere.
since 1 October sales have been abysmal. I have 8K plus sales and October is usually the start of Xmas - now it's practically zero I'm in the UK, have bestsellers (had) too.
I lost my star seller cause the sale have been so low. I’ve been working on getting my views up and slowly its working - highlight on the slowly…😢

I’ve heard you mention some href app that you’ve pulled data on Etsy. Can you share what particular software or website you’re using please?
How do you know if another shop's product is converting higher than mine?
My sales have picked up starting Nov, compared to October so I chalk it up to algorithm changes. Both my new POD shop and my 2 year old shop!

Super slow, but I a, happy to hear this is turning around for you. Yes, take it! 😊
*am
16,470 total sales and now hardly anything.
One item which has the best seller badge and is in #1 position. :O
Sales nearly stopped after Oct 1st.
I have two Etsy stores, my sales for bot have dropped by 75% this year. I don’t know why😢
After the shipping change my sweatshirt prices were all updated from $25 to $47 automatically, so double check on your prices if any changes were made.

My friend has been able to keep an income and sustain it for 11 years without working outside her home due to her etsy shop. She has a true handmade shop. Now, it's so down that she is looking for a job.
It has been a very difficult season since Oct!
do we know if etsy profits are down also? if so, they should want to fix it
Hi! My sales have gone down too like nose dived
Mine also went to zero for consecutive days. This never happens and almost no views. No new customers, only sales to existing customers.
I have had the same situation. This is normally my busiest time of the year and in past years I have done so many that I had to pause my shop. It's zero now in spite of the ads! What is going on?
One more thing. I find it suspect that Etsy would change up the algorithm at the start of the holiday shopping season. These three months make or break many businesses.
My visits are way down. Very sad to see.
Star seller with over 7,000 sales. This time of year I usually start to average around $1000 a day in revenue. This year I'm struggling to make $100
I have mare than 2000 sales. I make and sell large items such as benches and hanging wall plate racks. I usually have 10 orders in the works. I have gone more than a week without a sale and the views are way off too.
I am a Canadian seller, I am selling physical items (bracelets) and my sells are up!
If we had to bring traffic and sale , and have to pay for traffic, and charges on that traffic then why Etsy we should move to independent platform
Critical to have the rights to emails
Who cares about “rights” you have the right to email, every customer has their email and there are tools to mass collect.. if you are self regulating because your scared the inrernet police are gonna come after then that’s your own insecurity holding you back
Etsy keeps tinkering and they make things worse. The natural flow of things doesn't change on a dime. If this person went from 19,000 to zero, something 'unnatural' has happened. Let add this example to the barn full I have already to drop Etsy and get a real sales platform.
Mine was starting last month 85 percent down und normally i got a lot of sale end of the month until first week of the month but but october end nothing and this month only one sale. I hope it gets better.
Yes some stores have faster shipping times because wirh yhe new changes a lot of people are reaalling products that are not handmade 🤷
email- Would love to know how to put together the list. I can do it manually from orders but I know it is not the proper way. thank you

Juat keeps getting worse. Etsy is now far down my list of other platforms
Not just America, I'm in UK, my constant busy shop has slowed down to a trickle, I should be working hard now to get orders out for Xmas, I'm twiddling my thumbs waiting for orders, I'm now working on a gift based shop to open in 2025 even though I'm a greeting card shop it's very quiet
Great content guys! Conversions, Email.

Since October my ship died. Bad. I have been on Etsy for 2 years
Yes. I'm not used to hearing crickets....Been selling on Etsy over 5+ years. I believe it's the elections, algorithm & Etsy's advertising less.
Chris deserves to have his face on the channel pics...he's in all the videos🤔
This is exactly what my situation is too.
2024 has been down almost every month this year. I think Etsy peaked in 2022 and has declined after the covid era boost.
I haven't sold anything in about 3 weeks
Yes. My revenue is down 63% from this week last year. I had only a couple orders last week. Views/visits are fairly normal, but sales are down. I do notice the same pattern every election year, however. I expect this week will also be slow. Not to make it political, but after the 2016 Trump victory, my sales spiked pretty hard, but after the Biden victory they lessened considerably, worsening every Q4. It could be that people are waiting it out to see which way the wind will blow.
I have t had sales in almost 11 months
Sales suck down 60% nice last year this time.
Nearly 1,000 total sales. Selling nothing now.
I think (if I had to guess a number) maybe 60% of all ads that would normally be Etsy or other platform ads have been replaced with election ads, lets see how it changes after the election. I have not dropped like others however I do a lot of work on social media and advertising. My numbers are WAYYYY up since last year but I have been increasing steady all year. Last year (for my early shop) wasn't much to compare to.
Making 6 figures I hope
This is an excellent point!! It's all election ads. I think you've nailed it!
@@EUCvibes unfortunately not yet however maybe next year. I'm fortunate enough to do it full time and have been able to quit my 9-5

Does anyone know if Scott has gigs on Fiverr? I think someone may be impersonating him on the platform. Can anyone confirm?
no, we don't do anything on fiverr....If you send a link to the person impersonating us to support@brandcreators.com It would be helpful :)
@@brandcreators yes, you have an impersonator. I will email you now!
Whoever is running Etsy has destroyed not only the Etsy platform and has taken away the income of many people. We need an Elon Musk type to come up with a better platform for hand crafters. My business started tanking when Etsy started allowing the larger suppliers to open shops. Small businesses just can't compete with large scale sellers. It's become a Walmart.
Could it be because of the Election? People are busy deciding how o vote etc. No time for items on Etsy
Nope. I’m in the UK and sell only within the UK, my sales have dropped to zero too
@@lou8078 Ditto, except in Aus.
After election 🗳️ Etsy will be better ! 😊

If I run ads I dont get any sales I turned off my ads and now I get sales
Same. It always goes that way for me. I have tried several different times and it always seems to be that way for me...just my luck I guess.
