Hi, Heather will you please do a more in-depth video on how to link Instagram and Facebook to our Etsy store? Or could you provide a link if a video already exists? Would also like to know how a listing would look after a shop is linked or what a customer would see. I knew about the bulk editing but learned something new on how to replace things or change out the year ;) Thank you. I was totally hiding that...

[@itsheatherstudio]

Hey there and thanks for watching! ❤ Thank you for this suggestion and I have written it down for future content/tutorials because this is would be a multi-step tutorial that would probably be 10 minutes or longer. There's a lot to it as far as the approval process for the domain and also you have to link products/create a catalog manually. I have a few resources below on how to do this in the meantime before I can get a RUclips video out:
1) Reddit has a GREAT how-to post on linking step-by-step here: www.reddit.com/r/Etsy/comments/iuxgfx/how_to_connect_your_etsy_shop_to_facebook_and/
2) Etsy's article on how to verify domain with FB and link products in catalog: help.etsy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360051633874-How-Do-I-Verify-My-Domain-for-Facebook-Shops?segment=selling
The only video I've created with similar content is on how to create content & schedule on FB Meta but not how to link. I am aware the video I've made doesn't answer what you are asking directly, but I will still link below in the case anyone may be looking for it as I personally think that just posting on FB & Instagram with Meta business suite is an easier route to go as shown in this video: ruclips.net/video/BzFv7fuU1JU/видео.html
Hopefully this all helps a bit and thanks for the suggestion! 💕

[@theottomanagroslmtraders9736]

[@QueenGenevive]

thank you for doing this video, I learned quite a bit today. I am definitely going to do the google analytic thing. I changed my outgoing message to buyers too. This was very helpful to me. I set up my shop years ago and haven't even looked at that part in a long time.

[@user-nt6zd8vt6b]

[@lifetimewishes]

Hi Heather, I am just getting started on Etsy. Your videos are amazingly informative. This video made me laugh out loud when you mentioned that your name has "th" . FWIW, I watched several of your videos and never would've guessed you had trouble pronouncing th. In fact, I noticed you are very well spoken. Thank you so much for your generous guidance and fabulous sense of humor!

[@crystaldingman773]

lol. I was losing my mind when you were talking about “ birth” flowers. This explains a lot.

[@HisLivingWater]

Great information thx.

[@itsheatherstudio]

Thanks for watching! ❤

[@kellies5784]

Wow!!! Love your videos. So helpful, thank you so much!!! If you get a chance can you please make a video simplifying making a pin on Pinterest. I think I’m just pinning pics to my boards 😬😂🤷‍♀️ not sure what I’m doing wrong

[@pubgiant24]

Can the set up of google analytics be done all within our etsy shop? Great video, thanks.

[@CarrieMarieDeLoge]

I was totally hiding that... and I'm super grateful for the Facebook integration support! I'm going to have to re-watch the Google stuff because I got confused during that set up but SO much great info! I've been going to 3 months almost and just got my first 3 sales and I know part of that is due to you, Money with Mak, Everbee, and another helpful youtube dude I forgot his name. Anyhow thank you! My shop is Powders Puffs & Rose Petals if you ever want to tear it apart. I take criticism well.

[@michellepeairs1370]

Absolutely amazing information Heather! I had no idea about linking Etsy to Facebook and Instagram. I also didn’t know about most of the things that you mentioned.
I’m coming back to this video when I go into Etsy to update some of these things. Do you have a video on how to link your Etsy shop to Facebook and Instagram by chance? The Meta business area is sometimes really confusing. I appreciate it!!

[@diemaerchenhexeliestvor]

Hi HeaTHer :) thank you for your valuable information. I am going on holidays on Sunday, yay! And I do not want to miss the oportunity answering fast. Getting messages which stay unanswered for a day could happen, as ~well, it's holidays. One is not going to check their social media every hour. I would like to add your video into my playlist for Etsy stuff and it's not giving the option here. we see thumbs up/down and sharing. Did I miss something? Thank you.

[@josephinerusso3607]

I was totally hiding that……. Wow ! I didn’t know most of these things!

[@KristenABales]

Thanks for the tips! I was following along and had a few things to update in my shop. I just started back on etsy a few months ago, after taking a year off the platform. Which really tanked my shop, and it's been a slow ride to get it moving again. I really want it to be a more passive side hustle, but I've only gotten 1 sale from an organic customer since returning in April. Sigh.

[@itsheatherstudio]

Thanks for watching and happy that this video came at a good time to update your settings! Sending you the best of luck and wishes in starting on your shop again and you got this!! ❤

[@KristenABales]

@@itsheatherstudio Awe! Thank you! Its a slow process, but its been a lot of fun playing with new designs. I'm doing a mix of POD and handmade. Just gotta be persistent.

[@itsheatherstudio]

Haha yes! Thanks for watching! ❤

[@halflink]

Thank you, Heather, these are all excellent tips and well-explained and demonstrated. May I ask a question though? You showed your revenue profile at the beginning and it's almost non-existent in 2023. What has caused this?

[@marymurphy1184]

I was totally hiding that... I didn't know most of these!

[@itsheatherstudio]

Thanks for watching and glad to hear you learned some new features in this video! ❤

[@holyspiritpraises]

Heather you slim down :) you look great

[@melaniemartin6785]

Thanks Heather. I didn't know about the translation. I would like to do this but it I guess you have to manually translate each listing yourself for each language - correct or does Etsy. What's the easiest/fastest way to do this, as it's a huge job but would be worth it! Any advice. Thank you!

[@sharoncheek1917]

Made it!🎉

[@itsheatherstudio]

Thanks for watching!❤️

[@maartenudema6845]

Hi Heather with 'th'.. :) I never noticed, maybe because I am Dutch.. Quick question, can you add the Share link to Pinterest pins too?

[@hexamigo]

Thanks for the tips. By the way, saavy Etsy shoppers these days expect an abandoned cart email with a discount coupon. That’s why we see so many listings that are in so many people’s carts. Just saying.

[@evelinvahter4255]

Hi! Where is the window to creat a message response?

[@karenpickett4971]

I was totally hiding that...😊

[@carlascookiebox]

Hi Heather, I want to add cold packing to my shop but i already have 2 variants per listing and i offer free shipping, where would I potentially do that?

[@Iris-yq7ez]

Is there a way to find out if a specific slogan has ever been used before. I know doing a Google search, but I wondered if there is an easier way?

[@user-hz7kv6js6l]

I made it to the end. Is it possible to turn off Etsys internal marketing? Plus, I have no idea how to track where the sale came from or if it's a legitimate marketing fee or not?

[@fem-fitness7020]

Hi Heather this is Sharon from Cape Town South Africa, i trust you good and well. Heather i wanted to ask if there is a platform that is similar to Etsy where i can upload my Digital Prints please but not Etsy

I’m a new to etsy seller
But everyday someone sending me a message with barcode to scan to phone camera, I really didn’t get what it is.
They’re sending me the name with etsy security something
Can you help with this

[@itsheatherstudio]

Hi there! I would not scan the message's bar codes on your phone- this is a potential security threat for your device and also Etsy shop. There are plenty of scams that message and target new sellers on Etsy right now. The QR code thing is a new one to be aware of! Hopefully this reply gets to you prior to scanning and as a reminder, try not to click on any links and respond to these people with any private information. There is a 'report to spam' button as well you can report these fake messages to Etsy with.
Besides that, thanks for watching my videos and best of wishes to your new shop! ❤️
