Did This Unpopular Etsy Change ACTUALLY WORK?!😲(I think it did!)

In this month's update I'm talking about how it was a completely different month for my handmade business on both my Etsy shop and my Shopify website compared with last month and how Etsy in particular, have come back swinging.
As far as Etsy's comeback goes, I think this may be down to a recent (and very unpopular) change they've made recently. But we'll see how July goes and as always, I will report back.

Glad to see you can claim some progress. It's always energizing. Thanks for sharing some balance considerations, so important. Rem to work on some stock for Q4 so you don't burn yourself out later. Be well and game on!

"Shummer" = Sham of a Summer - You invented the word for this weird season we seem to be having that's meant to be UK summer 🙃

I have the same, traffic down, sales way up!! The last two months were the most successful for me up until now! For me it started with the gift mode introduction. Hope it goes like this in next months as well 😍

I love your reset videos!! To be fair, I love all your videos. Congratulations on getting physical international sales again, that's brilliant news 🎉🎉

Aw thanks so much, Olivia. 😁 And I know I couldn't believe it! I'll be keeping a close eye on my shop over the next few weeks to see if it was just a one off. I really hope not! 🤞

Great video. Congratulations on the sales. I'm Etsy only and the last few weeks have actually been busyish. Hurrah! Any chance of a one off DIY video? (I heard you groan😂).

@KimBliss 20 күн бұрын

All my DIY videos are on my other channel and they're awful! 😄 That being said I am thinking of making some more. I'll regret that soon enough!

Thank you so much. Taking about dispatch times I thought I would check mine on Etsy and realised I hadn't put them back after I had extended them due to being away a couple of weeks ago. I feel stupid now that might be why I have been so extra quiet.

I've done that before so don't worry, you're definitely not the only one. 😄

My hoop arrived today, thank you, love it 😁 💙👌 it's way too tactile, had to put it away before I ruin it, trying to decide if my cat can be trusted to put it where I think is best 😸

Yeah embroidery gets you like that. It's why I love it as a medium. 😁 I'm glad you love it, Lee, and that it arrived safe for you. P.S. Cats can never be trusted. 😂

Congratulations on getting your taxes done. Mine still are not done. I suspect it will be a job for August. You might be right about the change in the dispatch times meaning more sales. Etsy does seem to be on a speedy kick these days.

Don't they just! I was so made when I saw they'd messed about with my dispatch times and now I'm mad that it appears to have worked! 😂

Hi .Did you have translated your Etsy shop to different languages? And your Shopify shop? Thank you

@KimBliss 20 күн бұрын

No, both are in English only currently.

I have the exact opposite problem, Most of my sales are to the US, i don't get many sales in the UK even though i am a UK seller

haha same, I'm located even further, in Slovenia, and sell mostly to US 😆

I realized every Etsy item has a 'Report this item to Etsy' button, and it is easy to report non-handmade/vintage items. Is this a new system? I hope this works for honest sellers.

@KimBliss 20 күн бұрын

You can report items if you believe they violate Etsy's terms of service, it's just whether they actually do anything about it.

@yochanmw1169 20 күн бұрын

@@KimBliss Is that clickable system always there? I only realized recently. OK, but I was too excited. You are right. That all depends on how Etsy responds. I am working on opening my vintage jewelry store. Whenever I search for something for reference, conspicuous nonvintage jewelry is on the first page as a 'best seller.' It's so discouraging:(

Everything in slow mode over here. My freelance/bill paying job has been slow sense May. No panic yet but it has giving me more time for my art projects. So the paint is splattering and 3d printers are running.Halloween and Christmas art full speed ahead. Good luck with your house updates. Hammer on!!!🔨😁
