@@etsyconsultant Sorry but you only answer the questıons or mesages contains complimant inside. I asked just a simple question but didnt care . Ok. No need to follow.
I came across your channel a couple of years ago and found it refreshing. I followed your advice and usually make around 5 listings every week. Yes it is slow and yes you do need patience. I've tried Etsy in the past and rushed into getting as many listings up as possible, only to feel deflated and disappointed. This time, I am taking the slow route. I am making sales, certainly every week, not necessarily every day. I don't do social media or Etsy ads. My thumbnails need improving I guess, but I am making sales! I just wish there was someone honest and direct like you to give advice about a successful RUclips channel, :D Keep up the great work, thank you.
I believe this is how it is. I’m a new shop, working on getting more listings up. There is a similar shop that is older and has 400 listings. My newest Christmas design is way better than hers and my keywords are way better, but she is getting all the sales bc she is being shown and I am not. She is Etsy’s pick even though almost everything she lists is trademark infringement. It’s very disheartening that Etsy promotes someone who is making money off music and movie quotes. Her favorite things to make money off of are Taylor Swift and the movie Home Alone.
I have the same issue. My designs are superior to a couple of shops that started COPYING me but producing poor quality and even mass producing them using a machine. Etsy promotes the other stores with "best seller" and "Etsy's pick." My sales dropped significantly before I investigated and found out what was happening. But Etsy does what Etsy does. It's been quite infuriating.
Hi there, I know its so disheartening. I'd love to help grow your store, my workshop is coming up this weekend, link below to book: etsy-consultant.com/services/2024-etsy-workshops/
This is where ebay wins, ebay allows all listings to rise to the top of the search result, as each listing gets close to its end date it gets placed near the top. In the past sellers had created multiple listings spread across the month for this reason, which ebay are clamping down on. It's fair to all sellers.
@@SoferiaNebruin I haven't found that, so interesting, I do know they are routing out duplicates but then again they have a purge on things every now and again.
Absolutely understand this Nik. My tin sales proved this repeatedly. I had a product in demand with high stock numbers. Etsy opened the floodgates, and I was drowning. 😭
The basics are there, but unless the 2016, 1 item was handmade, it was cheating the system, and i bet it wasn't. This is the reason Etsy is just another Ebay, and Etsy loves the listing fees even if the items aren't described in the correct way. It is now shareholder, divideds and profit. 😢
So perhaps run a flash sale where you sell it incredibly cheap even at a loss to get the sales, and then after you've made a few sales you raise your price back up once you start showing up further in the search results?
That is totally backwards! If they only give a little visibility because the store needs to build "trust," how are they going to build trust with trickle down visibility? Reminds me of how well trickledown economics is working. Etsy is shooting itself in the foot if that's their philosophy. Well, yes, Etsy is constantly shooting itself in the foot these days.
This all makes perfect sense it is definitely a selling relationship built on trust. When l 1st started my vintage goods only had handful of items but once a week l got sale. Then on broke in transit. I refunded myself straight away. And more sales built up as l built up shop. My photos were rubbish and l still working hard on that even now. But if ever rarely customer wants refund. I respect refund out of my pocket. It is all built on trust and hard work. I've never used social media would get house robbed in this part of country. Thank you Nik
RoxyCer thanks you very much for teaching us so many things of value. I am at the begging of my online store an it was very hard me not knowing what to do...an the Univers send me to your page. thank you !
Makes sense. But is there a magic number? Approaching 500 listings, 4.8 rating, 2% conversation rate, 240 sales but not getting enough views for a lot of sales. Can’t crack the code.
Hi there, thanks for the comment. Feel free to book a call or join me on my forthcoming workshop - all will be revealed! etsy-consultant.com/services/discovery-call/ etsy-consultant.com/services/2024-etsy-workshops/
It's not possible to crack the code when it's an insane code. Etsy is crazy. I still have a store there but will be totally changing my strategy and USING Etsy instead of allowing Etsy to push me around.
Hi Nick, congratulations on your great content, I think you are helping a lot of people. I would like to know what you think about the views, favorites and follows that can be achieved by joining Etsy seller forums where shops support each other (I mean the forums created on Etsy itself). You don't usually get direct sales on these forums, but I think they can help visibility, is this a legitimate way to grow organically? Is it worth spending a few minutes a day on them? My apologies if the question is not relevant.
After this video, I'm relieved and confused. Basically, I'm allergic to social media so, to hear that I should not try with those is Hip! Hip! Hooray! But the stats of how shoppers found me (Etsy brought 33% of visits and I brougjt 67% of visits) how can that even be? I don't have Facebook, instagram or any other social media. Don't get it.
So from what you’re saying, I have no chance on Etsy as a solo handmade woodworker. There’s no way I can possibly create 100+ different products to list on Etsy. I mean I could but it would take me an extremely long time to do that. What are your thoughts on this? Cheers mate, enjoying your videos 🥃
Hi there, yes there are ways round it. Feel free to join my forthcoming workshop to find out and loads more insider info! etsy-consultant.com/services/2024-etsy-workshops/
If the product is great, I think you could advertise within Etsy. Also, just use social media - content, etc. You can’t wait for your listing to stack so you can have a sale.
There are many shops that have one or two or just a few high-quality items. You would have to really emphasize it being handmade, high-quality, etc. Learn the keywords people use who search for high-end products that you make. And then often, word of mouth advertising will get people there. There are shoppers who do not want mass-produced poor-quality items and will pay extra for better quality and craftsmanship.
Hello Nik, hope you are doing well. What is your opinion on refunds. Do you think your Etsy store visibility is effected by having to refund a customer? Just a though I had, thank you.
HONESTLY I FEEL LIKE IN ORDER TO BE MY SELFI CANT BE ON ETSY TO LONG.I EVENTUALLY WANT MY OWN WEBSITE. I WRITE POSITIVE QUOTES AND POEMS.PUT IT ON ITEMS I HAND MAKE AND POD. I FEEL LIKE I HAVE TO MAKE WHAT EVERYBODY ELSE MAKING LOOK LIKE EVERYONE ELSE. CANT BE MY REAL ACTUAL CREATIVE SELF. SO I PUT MY OWN SELF OUT THERE. NOT TRYNA BE LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE. THATS COMMERCIAL. I ACTUALLY BEEN THRU LIFE FOR REAL.

I wonder this too because I put my shop on vacation mode - to actually go on vacation - and my sales slowed to nearly nothing for a couple of weeks! Then, we were hit by a hurricane and I put my shop on vacation mode again and the same thing happened. Before these two instances, I was making 1 to 2 sales per day or more sometimes. However, since then, I'm only getting maybe one sale every 3 to 4 days. It's as if I'm being punished for putting my shop on vacation mode. It has picked back up lately though so I'm hopeful that it will get back to where it was or better. I make very specific products so there isn't a huge demand but I went in knowing that and I'm ok with it. I do it as a side hustle.
I have put my shop in vacation mode a few times and it takes about a week after reactivating to regain visibility, typically. However, it seems that the longer it's on vacation mode, the longer it will take.

I get this and makes sense - but I’m wondering if this is true - why has my sales more than halved since October? My store has been going for 18 months , consistent star seller, 5 star reviews, nearly 6000 sales, lots of repeat customers , best sellers , conversion rate of 14-15% etc so think should have built ETSY trust, but both ETSY views and sales suddenly down over 40% since October , conversion rate not dropped . I ‘ve never needed to push sales through socials and also never done adverts or sales - not sure what to do next . Face to face craft markets my handmade stuff still sells really well luckily
Yes, this happened to thousands of sellers on October 1st Carol, Etsy updated the algorithm to include visibility boosts for US sellers shipping domestically for under $6. This is why, not fair, but it is the reason.
@@Mramur_brand Yes, this happened to thousands of sellers on October, Etsy updated the algorithm to include visibility boosts for US sellers shipping domestically for under $6. This is why, not fair, but it is the reason.
@@etsyconsultant thanks for replying. I get that for US sellers, but I’m a UK seller so the under $6 shipping visibility boost surely shouldn’t affect UK stores?
Hey there! Love your very insightful videos. Thank you. I have always wondered about this: When people search for items on Etsy (or in your shop), will your item still come up in search if the keyword they are searching for are in your tags but NOT your title? For example, if some is searching for the keyword "sun png", if "sun png" is in your tags but NOT your title, will they still find your item? Thank you!
Thanks for being here, I appreciate it. Yes, you will be discoverable from keywords anywhere in your title, tags, attributes, categories and description.
Hi Nick, firstly great video. Re trust is my shop affected if the processing time is adjusted on an order? I create made to order personalised items and sometimes a customer doesn’t approve the design within the turnaround time so I have to increase this by a couple of days. Just wondered if this reduces Etsy’s trust in my store and therefore lowers my ranking at all? Not entirely sure what the best way is to work around this is. Thank you :)
Question. If you are a growing store, have over 200 listings with 170 sales, maybe sell 1 or 2 items a week....how fast can you deactivate non selling items. Is there a deactivation plan?
There is! And it’s part of his course you can sign up for. I did it in Jan and it was good! And no I was not paid for this haha. I have been listening to his advice for 1.5 yrs now… and my shop’s taken off. It did take several months, and it’s lots of work. But I have constant orders now and the frequency is way up. I’m almost to the point of needing an employee 😆

Okay part of what you're saying doesn't make any sense. You're saying not to you social media to drive traffic to your listings, but if you're not being seen and Etsy then you're not going to make any sales. You are going to have to initially Drive traffic to your listing through social media or somehow.
Hi there, thanks for your comment. I have an entire series on the subject which I will copy the link below. Once of the reasons for being on a market place is that they bring the traffic to you, that's what you pay the fees for. If you drive traffic to your store it can seriously harm any organic traffic you would have been getting from within Etsy. ruclips.net/p/PLu6hxyqlfJIr8kA5rGzvd_Cmfx1xnanIQ&si=ZZwiN0Jm3pRWTggL
Hi there! Thank you for your helpful videos!🙏 So what to do when you have a large stock of products but each one is different from the other?…what I meant is that even when is the same product there are some small differences, and always it’s going to be just one in stock per listing …any advice ?
First of all - I love this channel - but often you contradict yourself - in many videos it says don't post too many products - 1 a day etc. - not too few now - my store is 2 years old - has 2oo products, 750 sales and I have 50% less sales in october 24 compared to 2023 and 50% less findability in etsy search ...
Hi there it's always a balance and impossible to give generic advice as a lot depends on how old/successful your store is. For brand new stores - 1 a day is a good guide. I'd love to see you on my forthcoming course where I will be able to help you further: etsy-consultant.com/services/2024-etsy-workshops/
URGENT: I’m in Canada and live in a remote location. All my shipping rely solely upon the local postal service. They are on strike. I don’t know if I should put my shop on vacation or not. I have to refund two orders because I can’t ship. How will vacation mode effect my shop?
Hi, let me see if I can help. Answer these questions: 1 When did your store open? 2 How many sales do you have? 3 How many listings do you have? How long is the postal strike for?
@ thanks for the quick response. My shop has been opened since July 2024, I’m at 60 listings (slow start) with 31 sales. The last strike was in 2018 that lasted a month. I don’t know how long this one will last.
Your video is bs. I have started several shops. In one of my test shops I listed 5 products and in 3 days I received 20 sales on one & 13 on another. Your content is FALSE.
Hi there, thanks for your comment. In my 9 years of experience as full time Etsy Consultant your experience is extremely rare. I'd love to take a look at your store 😀
When did you start this if I may ask? Ive also started adding 2 products to an Etsy shop that is quite new, 8 views later in around 2-3 days, I’ve got 2 sales. Then I got suspended. Lol. The stuff I created were all legit, no copyrights. I’m a graphic designer. I know this because I have been observing the digital product market before it rose on Etsy and when it started booming on Etsy, so around 2009 onwards. So I know what I shouldn’t list and what I should. I honestly don’t understand lol.
Sigh. Another 'Etsy Guru' that makes all of their money by making RUclips videos and selling Etsy courses. If you have a legitimate Etsy store, where's the proof that you've made any money at all? ANYONE can start an Etsy store and SAY that they've made lots of money but there are very, very few people that actually provide any proof at all. Where is the link to your sales data for your store??? You should be able to provide monthly sales data since you started your store. Where is the proof that shows that you're actually making a significant PROFIT from Etsy now? Message to anyone reading this: sales (revenue) does NOT equal profit!
No. it didn't make any Sense of what you said. You actually didn't say nothing useful. You just said to us these 2 usual words the "Visibility" and "Trust". well we know these words. You didn't say the Most important thing. The "HOW To" get the visibility and how to get the trust. No social media, no SEO. Then how? and how many listings should some list on etsy to start see some sales coming? I guess you are just promoting your courses to make money. 🤦🏼
Thanks for your comment, I have talked about the answers to your question multiple times, please watch all of the video below, thanks: ruclips.net/video/1kHPbj6bjiw/видео.html

I’ve just started a store and listed 25 jewellery items in 25 days. I have 1 follower and 3 favourites from 2 ppl. I have had about 100 views.
Am I doing ok?
Hi there, thanks for your comment. I wouldn't focus so much on those stats at the beginning, follow my 3 month plan, I'll copy link below, and there is my workshop happening this weekend if you would like to join where you will learn a lot!

Nice video 😊
Thanks.
so, how do i get trust? with ads?
Okay part of what you're saying doesn't make any sense. You're saying not to you social media to drive traffic to your listings, but if you're not being seen and Etsy then you're not going to make any sales. You are going to have to initially Drive traffic to your listing through social media or somehow.
He said in a reboots video this drives down your conversion rate which makes the algorithm place you lower.
Hi there, thanks for your comment. I have an entire series on the subject which I will copy the link below. Once of the reasons for being on a market place is that they bring the traffic to you, that's what you pay the fees for. If you drive traffic to your store it can seriously harm any organic traffic you would have been getting from within Etsy.

Hi there! Thank you for your helpful videos!🙏
So what to do when you have a large stock of products but each one is different from the other?…what I meant is that even when is the same product there are some small differences, and always it’s going to be just one in stock per listing …any advice ?
Hi nick. What are all' parameters thet boosting visibility? Only sales and conversion rate, or also pref items can Boost a bit the visibility? Ty
The most important thing to be successful on pod store is design,i will be very happy if you can give me your opinion about my pod store on etsy...
First of all - I love this channel - but often you contradict yourself - in many videos it says don't post too many products - 1 a day etc. - not too few now - my store is 2 years old - has 2oo products, 750 sales and I have 50% less sales in october 24 compared to 2023 and 50% less findability in etsy search ...
Hi there it's always a balance and impossible to give generic advice as a lot depends on how old/successful your store is. For brand new stores - 1 a day is a good guide. I'd love to see you on my forthcoming course where I will be able to help you further:

Please get to the facts quicker.
Will do.
Crazy info...
Thanks for watching.
URGENT: I’m in Canada and live in a remote location. All my shipping rely solely upon the local postal service. They are on strike. I don’t know if I should put my shop on vacation or not. I have to refund two orders because I can’t ship. How will vacation mode effect my shop?
Hi, let me see if I can help. Answer these questions:
1 When did your store open?
2 How many sales do you have?
3 How many listings do you have?
How long is the postal strike for?
@ thanks for the quick response. My shop has been opened since July 2024, I’m at 60 listings (slow start) with 31 sales. The last strike was in 2018 that lasted a month. I don’t know how long this one will last.
HI there, I would not advise putting your store on vacation mode.. communicate with sellers about the issue.
Your video is bs. I have started several shops. In one of my test shops I listed 5 products and in 3 days I received 20 sales on one & 13 on another. Your content is FALSE.
Hi there, thanks for your comment. In my 9 years of experience as full time Etsy Consultant your experience is extremely rare. I'd love to take a look at your store 😀
When did you start this if I may ask? Ive also started adding 2 products to an Etsy shop that is quite new, 8 views later in around 2-3 days, I’ve got 2 sales. Then I got suspended. Lol. The stuff I created were all legit, no copyrights. I’m a graphic designer. I know this because I have been observing the digital product market before it rose on Etsy and when it started booming on Etsy, so around 2009 onwards.
So I know what I shouldn’t list and what I should. I honestly don’t understand lol.
Sigh. Another 'Etsy Guru' that makes all of their money by making RUclips videos and selling Etsy courses. If you have a legitimate Etsy store, where's the proof that you've made any money at all? ANYONE can start an Etsy store and SAY that they've made lots of money but there are very, very few people that actually provide any proof at all. Where is the link to your sales data for your store??? You should be able to provide monthly sales data since you started your store. Where is the proof that shows that you're actually making a significant PROFIT from Etsy now? Message to anyone reading this: sales (revenue) does NOT equal profit!
Hi there, thanks for your comment. Please see my Trust Pilot reviews, I am a full time Etsy Consultant with proof that I know what I am talking about.
No. it didn't make any Sense of what you said. You actually didn't say nothing useful. You just said to us these 2 usual words the "Visibility" and "Trust". well we know these words. You didn't say the Most important thing. The "HOW To" get the visibility and how to get the trust. No social media, no SEO. Then how? and how many listings should some list on etsy to start see some sales coming? I guess you are just promoting your courses to make money. 🤦🏼
Thanks for your comment, I have talked about the answers to your question multiple times, please watch all of the video below, thanks:

@@etsyconsultant Ok. I will watch your videos. Thank you for sharing the link!. But have in mind that people watch several random videos that RUclips suggests. RUclips has suggested me your video and I watched it. I haven't watched your other videos, so I don't know if you have talked about that multiple times. 😊
