I completely agree with your comment, however, Etsy doesn't seem to let you put them for digital products. At least, not that I've found. I do not blame Kate nor am I upset with her. I love her videos, but I originally believed and planned/made everything as a single listing. Then I saw this video and re-planned everything out & made everything so that I could post them with variations, happy that I was going to save some money. When I finally started to upload the listings, it wouldn't let me have variations, so I had to remake everything (meaning the listing pngs) again. I just wish she would have included this info in the video. Now instead of 5 or 6 listings with variations, I have to have over 100 just for 1 version I have of my products. I don't know if it's that Etsy can't physically make it so that each PDF will pertain to the variation selected or if it's just so they can make more money per listing (I honestly believe it's the later), but it's very frustrating!

My strategy was to set my prices low to begin with just to make a name for myself on Etsy. Once I started making profit and received several positive reviews, then hit 30+ sales, I decided to increase prices. My sales come in slower now but I do make a lot more off each. So it was a good decision at the end of the day.

Great info! I opened my shop in Feb 2021 and have had nearly 200 sales and over $3100 in income. Considering I was traveling and unable to make Mother's Day, Father's Day and July 4th sales due to the timing, I'm fairly happy with where I'm at. But your tips are really helpful and I am sure can help me take it up a notch. Fortunately, instead of using vacation mode, I extended my processing times (just out of sheer luck). Now I know to never use it. I need to do more research but your video has been the most helpful of all I've watched so far.

I have learned that by utilizing "variations", I can entice customers to spend more money. I sell plants and I have to include my shipping into every 1-item order so if I can get them to buy 2 items as the sweet spot with just a little more cost added, I can actually show more profit for the month over the amount I spent on shipping.

This is really helpful advice. I see so many successful shop owners put their shops on vacation for long periods of time, so I didn't think it was a bad thing to do. I think they can get away with this because they have a strong audience on youtube or elsewhere so those customers come back from those other channels when they reopen. I'm so glad you explained this!

I’ve had multiple stores running for 7 years and never put it on vacation mode because I don’t wanna lose my spot in the search results. I just either raise my prices or get somebody else to fulfill my orders. Also I agree quality over quantity. Protect your Bestsellers, they are your bread and butter.

@salnellen1381 Жыл бұрын

That’s not always practical to do for many. I’ve put my shop on vacation when I go on vacation. If I am home it’s always open. But I can’t ship from where I’m away at on vacation and I don’t want to. I put the shop in vacation mode about twice a year for a week each time. No changes in traffic. I still sold as much as before I went on vacation and I’m not a high volume seller either and sell a few items a month. And there’s no one else to do this for me so that’s not an option if I go on vacation. And I have hundreds of listings and the time frame has to be changed on every listing. I always ship in one day so I want to keep it that way. But I do need some time off too! Nothing wrong with that. We aren’t Amazon after all and we should’nt be expected to be either!

People will visit to check it out (I did) and it will run havoc with your conversion rate. It happened to another Etsy KZfaq called Eva Knows. I’m sure there is a blurring tool in the KZfaq dashboard you can use on uploaded videos. 😀

I learned a few of these the hard way and share her videos with people interested with selling on Etsy now so they can avoid a few of the mistakes I made. In particular, when I had an 8-in-1 surgery that laid me up for months, I put my shop on vacation. Ween from ranking in the top 1-2% of Etsy sellers to being knocked down to a newbie level when it came to their search algorithm ranking. And was clueless to it all enough to do it again when I had eye surgery 1.2 years later. Oh duh!

@pedromanuel9581 3 жыл бұрын

The problem with social media is that everyone is an “expert”. There are many (most) Etsy Gurus that teach “The more listings the better”. with the “sweet spot” being somewhere between 200-500 listings. The old approach of....”More raffles and chances for the lottery winnings”. In my personal case, I found my sales substantially increased from 2-3 sales a day at 50 listings to 10-12 sales a day once I got over 200 listings (jewelry). Thank you also for the “No Vacation” tip, increasing prices also occurred to me as a way of slowing down orders without sacrificing your revenue and profits too much.
