Reworking an Etsy listing that needed some help! Full walkthrough.

I found a terrible listing that was one of the first ones I put on Etsy, and wow, it was bad. Even so, it's sold in the past, so I know that I could rework it, and if I get more people to see it, it might sell more often. I walk through the whole process of going through an etsy listing and editing it so that it doesn't stink!

Oops, at around 6:15 I meant to type in STOCK number, not stick number :)

Thankyou Kara❣️ You blow my mind when you wrote all the tags in together. Using the comma's, so they would all be added in at once🙏 I have been adding them in one at a time 🤦‍♀️ Amazing 👏 🤗 Thankyou❤️

I’ve always done it that way, i thought it was funny the first time someone said it was a super secret tags hack…

This was great! Some of my old listings are truly cringe-worthy, lol. I will say that the videos have been really helpful to my customers - it really helps show the colors of my beads better.

Interesting you mentioned photo size. I get the ⚠️ a lot. It started when I played with camera settings, even tho I had them set "correctly"... Got a phone for "better quality photos"...then it started giving me the same warning - Etsy glitch? My Real trouble is with videos with same camera and phone ARGH! Too big, too long.

@mrs.quills7061 Жыл бұрын

I think that means the resolution six my photos are usually 2000-2500 pixels at 72 dpi I never upload right from my phone because they always need brightning!

Even bought a tablet that claimed superior photography ability... Stupid thing took two photos, a Zoom meeting, then it quit. Resetting did nothing.

My original listings are terrible too. It’s weird to cringe at what we started with, but that’s the first step that takes us to where we are now. Thanks for sharing this. I’ve been working on adding new things, and of course putting off redoing old stuff. It’s really the photography that needs to be updated. Not the size persay, but the lighting and background are weird lol. They’re not consistent with my other pictures, but I haven’t had the time to update them.

Hello Kara so fortunate to fnd you on yt , I have one question about tags , if tags have higher competition should I not put that there ? example watercolor clipart if my item is watercolor splash thank you so much

@KaraBuntin Ай бұрын

I'd put it in there anyway, you want to describe the product accurately, and if that does describe it, you should include it.

Very informative. Did you say you can type out all your tags at once separating by comma and it will enter them all at once?

Interesting video, thanks! I noticed when you were adding tags, they came in at the end. When I add tags, they go to the front, which is irritating. I want them in my first to last order.

For digital prints, what if anything could you put in the material section? Graphic art?

@KaraBuntin Жыл бұрын

Materials are really what something is made FROM, so you don't even have to fill that part out, but you could just put "digital file"

Hello Mrs. Buntin, I'd like to first thank you for this video and really your entire channel. I'm getting closer to being able to do this full time. I do have one question about the tags. I sell items with almost fifty sizes. Do you think it's a good idea to add sizes in the tags? If so should it be one size per tag or should I put in as many sizes as I can in one tag? Thank you so much Kind regards

@KaraBuntin 9 ай бұрын

If the sizes are in the variations then Etsy will find those for keywords, so you don’t need to put them all in the tags. I wouldn’t load up the tag space with sizes, that’s better used for other terms…maybe put things like “plus size” or “tiny” in there, that’s not really a size but people use those kinds of words to search for sizes.

As this was a listing you are improving, I wonder why you haven't checked on Etsy which keywords this listing was being shown so far? I have been looking for some info on how to analyse that info on Etsy and decide which keywords are worth keeping and which ones to replace. A video showing this would be awesome!

@KaraBuntin Жыл бұрын

I did that off camera, i said that i was going to go do that when i was doing that tags. Since this is a seasonal listing the amount of searches it gets is low so there’s not much info on it, so i just checked my other Christmas mold listings to see what they’re all found for and what tags i had on them.

@ursulab1973 Жыл бұрын

So it looks like you don't have to duplicate words in your tags. Is that correct? For instance coffee mugs, lion mugs, ceramic mugs, etc. So you really only need to use the "mugs" word once and Etsy will pick it up from there? Does that make sense? lol

@KaraBuntin Жыл бұрын

It does, and you don’t have to duplicate words, but it’s not the end of the world if you do. I duplicate things all the time because I’m too lazy to overthink it!
