I’ve been watching this channel for months (since I was about three months into Etsy), and this is the most useful Etsy channel on CZcams. Because of his advice I was able to go from 30 sales to almost 500 sales in about 4 months. So glad I found this channel
Such a good tip. I've been binge watching you for the last few weeks. I tried this a week ago on a few listings to see if it made a difference. The listings I changed are getting traffic from search engines while the ones without photo tags are only getting Etsy traffic. Your channel is my Etsy bible 😂
You are the only one i follow in etsy related things because you offer real information and not selling dreams, affiliate links and other bs. Good video!
Plenty of work to do after watching this. 😊. Genuinely helpful advice that you just don't get anywhere else. Your channel really is head and shoulders above other Etsy videos on YT. Thank you
Never done much with Etsy was so baffled in the end by everyone’s options I left it. But after binge watching your videos I’m spring cleaning my shop and will be adding all the advice day by day to catch up! Love your style of teaching and the no nonsense approach, you just say it as it is and we action 👌 😊
Hi Nick, after reviving my Etsy store and watching your videos last summer, I faded away a bit, but now I'm back and just want to say you're the best, so glad I've tuned in to you again - I'm going to stick around this time and really get my Etsy shop going - also plan to get regular sales with help like this video (and the rest!) from you. Most other Etsy CZcamsrs only want to sell you something in the end, but now - thanks to you - I've got some meaningful work to do in the morning putting this list of tips into action - and it's free! Fantastic, really appreciate what you do and how you do it - so straightforward, plus your videos are never too long!👍
We followed this great advice and the advice from our 60 minute consultation, which was so precious!!! It's amazing!!! We've started seeing results!! Thank you so much!!!
I still have one sale in two months, now with 185 t-shirts listed. I think I'm doing 85% of Etsy well. I thought it was closer to 100% until I hear your great advice. Your titles/tags video hit me between the eyes, and here are some more things I can do to enhance my store. I know my shop is too good to be doing so poorly, so I will start working on these tips to keep Etsy involved. Thanks so much for your great advice, best I've heard online.
Hi Robin, thank you for your kind words. If you need help with your store, please feel free to reach out. You can book a call with me here: etsy-consultant.com/services/
How long should you allow a listing to go with no sales before you deem it a “dead listing”? And thank you for all of this amazing content - you go above & beyond w/how much value you share 👏👏👏
Thank goodness I found your videos only 3 weeks into my etsy journey ! Now things are starting to make sense. And thank goodness I only have 22 products because I'm going to start over from scratch. Everyone else on you tube seems more interested in selling you a course they are providing at $297.00 or more instead of actually building a viable profitable Etsy shop!! Great Information! I'm sure we will be talking soon. What is the name of YOUR Etsy shop?
Thanks again, mate. I don't know your name but I'm just building my Etsy store and you make everything so clear and accessible that I feel like I have a friend and mentor. I'm launching at the first of the year . If you like, I'll keep you posted as to progress . God bless...
So I tried a couple of things after watching the video, and I made my first sale in weeks a few hours after doing so. So it looks like I better try the rest of the tips! Thanks for sharing!
This is genius. I've just started my store and I plan on carefully following your advice. I'll let you know how it goes. I just have three listings, now I'm going to create 20 more and add two a day for ten days. I'm excited. Thank you, Meridith
I found your channel 3 days ago, thankfully before wasting a lot of time listening to anyone else. I LOVE the way you give advice, and I find your videos very comforting because you give such practical, actionable steps I can take to improve my shop immediately. I'm listening while doing a menial task to prepare my products. THANK YOU for what you do! I've gotten my sister listening to you as well. She's a successful veteran seller, but just started a brand new shop of a different type, and I'm excited to see how it will go.
Just found your channel and the advice and you feel genuine, just about to launch my store and business so the timing feels like fate 😊 thankyou aswell
Thanks so much for your advice, I love this channel. I started on Etsy a couple months ago because I got laid off and wanted to be able to stay home with my daughter - you don’t get these years back!! I have had 4 sales but only 12 listings so now I’ll be spending my nights after she goes to bed getting to 100!
Good tips, as always! I did want to comment that I currently have my 1 year old store set to manual renewals, specifically to force me to visually go over each and every listing as it comes up for renewal. I check for views, sales, etc, and then (if needed) update whatever needs help - photos, tags, title, description, image alt tags. When I had it on auto-renew, these things would just not get done. So I find manual renew an easy way to keep my listings updated without it becoming overwhelming.
Thanks for your input here. Yes this is fine from a practicality point of view, but if it goes out of stock you are breaking the sales history and lowering your listing quality score, so bear that in mind.
I am on Etsy for 4 years. Handmade knitted Gnomes. I was so busy to make them and just now started looking videos about Etsy on CZcams. I was kind of doing things right but not everything. It was good enough and I didn't need to do extra steps to make sales. But things are slowing down.... I liked your video!! Amazing tips and to the point!!! I subscribed your channel. I am sure I will see good points in future. I do not like those videos where they talk about earnings of 100 K . It doesn't apply to me. I couldn't handmake my Gnomes for this amount of the money without help.
I' ve started watching videos on CZcams for hours in order to get some help for our Etsy Shop. By far the best video I've seen up to now! Such useful information! We'll be putting your suggestions in practice and I'll write in the comments as soon as we get results! Thank you so much!!!
Hi Nick! I found your channel just a week ago and I make sure I watch one video per day. My goodness I have learned more in this past week than I have for the past two years. This particular video is a goldmine. I saw one of your replies that said even if you don’t have twenty of an item in inventory to put twenty anyway. That scares me but I’m going to follow your lead. 😂. Question: I read or heard in someone else’s channel to renew all your listings every three weeks. Your comments on this is much appreciated. I would love to have you critique my store but not until I get 100 items in there ! (I only have 31). I am a pattern designer but also carry supplies. Not enough though. That is what I’ll be working on . Thank you for channel. It is most helpful.
Hi there, thanks for your comment. Is is not good advice to re new your listings every 3 weeks. Looking forward to working with you, link below for when you are ready: etsy-consultant.com/services/30-minute-zoom-consultation/
Another great video. Thank you so much! You are so right about videos. It's one of the factors that pulls sales into a new store. I am increasing my inventory as I watch this video 😊. Thank you!
Ive never heard these tips from other youtube etsy gurus. So glad i found your channel a few days ago. Im doing pod and have been on etsy for around 5months with very few sales. I will be trying these tips out. Hopefully things will turn around *fingers crossed*
Dude! Love your vids. To the point and highly informative. I only wish I had discovered you a few months earlier. I have lots of fixing to do. Thanks for your dedication and hard work!
This video is really helpful and informative. Will surely implement in my store. U should more of these videos. Please also make a video on how we can do better customer service. Like if a customer purchased an item from us then what message should we send, how to ask for reviews etc.
Hi there, thanks for your comment. My advice for customer service, think about an good experience of customer service you have received and give that back.
Thanks for the tips . I am starting my new store to launch on March 1st. I will definitely will use this tips. Thanks a million for sharing your expertise.
Very good information thanks a lot I watched most of your video. I started to have sales and I run out of my products ( I sell crystal bracelets) after like 10 hours when I had all my new beads I renew my listings and I lost all visibility, now I know what happened. Great work from you and thanks again.
what a great video! I've had my etsy shop since 2010 and still found here some useful tips, thank you! The best channel of this type for sure, great job!
Thanks so much for the good practical tips that give us concrete things to work on. I get sales but I'm always wanting to increase sells especially during slow periods. I will work on all 10 of these tips.
Love the straightforward specific actions advice 🙏 so far the only channel that gives advice I can go and do straight ahead after watching the video. Thank you!
OMG, thank you so much for the video💕, NOW I have a lot of work after watching this 🤦♀ 6 month on Etsy and not really happy about it yet, but hey, it's time to work harder! Thank you again, your advices that's what I need to hear!
Great tips, great videos. But Etsy is not just about handmade and POD. The platform is also for selling vintage items. Obviously the stock of 20 tip doesn't work with vintage. Could you perhaps make 1 or more videos with tips for sellers of vintage on Etsy? Would be great. Thanks.
You have a lot of great videos, but this one I’ll keep watching over and over not to miss something each time I list. You have been a great help to me with our one one meetings and I keep learning something new with each of your videos. Thank you Nik. Kayvon.
Hey I would just like to let you know after doing some of the things you mentioned on here copying, updating my stock new photos and brightening I’ve managed to get a sale and lots more likes thank you so much I’m working on my store every day 😊
Nick, You’re such a darling for doing this. Thanks for the 🌶️ tips! I do have a question regarding bio pics. I don’t want to use my real photo for my bio, what should I do instead? As I’ve been using pics from stock libraries for each shop brand.
Hi miracles, just use your company branding, or as you have done is also fine, the main point is to have something in there so it makes the store look professional.
Excellent video, thanks Nik! I'd love for you to do a video on selling vintage/one of a kind items since it's kind of impossible to have more than one in stock.
I had a meeting cancelled today so guess what I'm doing :) Thanks for the tips. I have one listing in drafts waiting to be published and another design ready to list. I have a lot to do but these are great tips. I've written them all down and will start implementing the changes I need to make as soon as I finish commenting here. I've even created a notebook just for your tips. I love checking out your videos to see what suggestions you give next. Quick question. Do you recommend using comma's in your listing title or leave the words running together? Thanks so much for these videos. You provide stellar advice. Practical, achievable and you're so full of encouragement. Thank you.
@@etsyconsultant thank you very much. Another Etsy CZcamsr recommended no commas so I changed all my listings but nothing really happened so I'll change them back to comma's. Thank you. I really appreciate your tips.
Thank you for the helpful tips. I never thought of adding the section link. I am already adding the store link. I am going to add both from now. Thank you.
Glad to have found your channel. I’ve been plugging away at my pod shop for an embarrassingly long time with nothing much to show for it. I was delighted to hear your strategy of 10 listing in 5 days as I am in the throes of implementing it myself already. So validation is great and your post is really energising. Thanks. I’m definitely going to follow all 10 suggestions.
Hi Nik. I always value your videos because you give the best advice for our Etsy store. However in this video and under point #4 you emphasize the importance of having duplicate listings. As an artist, I am puzzled about that. I feel is like asking Leonardo da Vinci to dublicate the Mona Lisa. How can I dublicate my inspiration? How can I design a piece of jewelry and make it 10-20 times? The dublicate listings is very challenging to me. However, I will wait for your advise... Thank you again for a superb video.
Hi there, thanks for your comment, I hear you! I have a video dedicated to one of a kind sellers. It's not a perfect solution however use the parts that will work for your business. Link below for the video: czcams.com/video/zPzDptXFMoM/video.htmlsi=EWbk9DaO4CQrRwer
Excellent tips! I have watched 100s of videos on Etsy SEO, nothing comes close to your straight to the point tips. Thank you very much for sharing all this. I am checking your website now to see what you offer!
Hello...I just found you today...and I can't stop listening to you. I have actually paid someone...but, just listening to you...I am so ready to do what you have asked. I know that I must get my store, in order...and I have been on ETSY for 3 months...but just went live, last week. I will do what you said...and I do have 21 listing (only 3 have sold...and that was to my family (without my Titles, and my Tags...well, they are completely WRONG). I sincerely want to thank you...and will let you know how things are working...in about 2-3 weeks). (Will it take that long to get ETSY to relook at my store?) No matter, I will do what is necessary. I am in Florida...and so happy to be here and starting my ETSY store. Have a blessed evening. 😇🙂
There is always hope Eleni, and don't sit there without help if you need it, you can book in for a consultation with me at any time, the link is below, thanks!: etsy-consultant.com/services/
Thank you! I already watched almost all your videos and try to practice at my shop following your advice . Of course i need your help .After i have somehow the shop organised i will cone to tou fir the rest. There is a lot to solve🙂
Great Tips Video! I have shared it. Thank you! My question is about seasonal items. You mentioned previously that non selling items bring down the "score" of the shop. What is your specific recommendation for seasonal items? Should they be deactivated, or does one need to remove them completely from the shop? Also same Q. in regards to poor sellers? TY!
Watched this last night and watching again this morning to make a detailed action plan. How long do you give a listing making no sales before you consider it 'dead'? Right now my shop is a veritable cemetery but I'm curious how long to leave the bodies before digging them up😂. TIA
Great Advice Nik, yesterday I followed some of you tips for my digital download stores (alt text, changing primary images). Hope for improvement. We'll see how it goes :)
@artnmind, @etsyconsultant. In my descriptions, I've added links to related products and to the opening page of my store. But I can't figure out how to link an entire section or category. I'm hoping it's easy! Any information would be greatly appreciated, or maybe you can point me in the right direction. Thanks!! 😊
I have been taking notes of all the videos... Same tip keeps coming in every vídeo. MAKE ETSY COME TO YOUR STORE!!! Great tip... unfortunently etsy suspended my account before i even list a single product and they haven't told why. Support Will take up to 14 days. Meanwhile i am gadering tips and info and designing new items. We need this badly and i believe you are a fundamental help. Thank you so much
Hi there Mike, thanks for taking the time to comment. As far as the suspension it is important that the name of the store owner matches the name on the bank account that you use with Etsy.
@@etsyconsultant i took the time to match and fill everything right but i ONLY listed a t-shirt after the shop build and the Next morning i was about to buy some mokups só i have my listinha cool and i was already blocked. Couldn't buy or sell...lets wait for The support and greener days. Thanks for all the tios again
I'm curious about the advice here where you recommend copying and republishing 2-5 listings a day for dead listings and also ones that have sold. Doesn't this directly contradict your previous advice of the 1 a day listing plan? Is one a day no longer adequate or recommended by you? Thanks for the vid as always Nik!
I sell vintage items and some handmade vintage style items. I am stumped on how many photos you can list for instance of a vintage pattern. Or what kind of video to do. You can't show it in use, the only other option is to show the front and back of the pattern...which is in the photos.
Thanks for your tips. I´ve heard often the advice of other pros, NOT/NEVER to change the first photo of a bestseller. I have a bestseller but nevertheless the photo isn´t optimal. I´m a little bit afraid to change it. What is your experience?

Thanks again for the tips! How much sales you should have before you add those image alt texts? I have a brand new shop, so I want to make sure that I don't mess it up with external traffic.
Here is a question for you. Which type of niche is better: subject niches or product niches? For example, a subject niche could be all about Pug dogs. The listing would be anything about Pugs: Shirts, mugs, digital prints of Pugs and could even be Pug shaped cookie cutters. An example of a product niche could be custom cookie cutters. Every type of shape could be made into a cookie cutter here: animal shapes, car shapes, weapon shapes and even pug shaped cutters. I would call these, broad and shallow vs tall and narrow. What are the different challenges with these two types of niches and which one is best?
Hey Larry, thanks for your question. I could spend a long time talking about this one, but to be brief, your cookie cutters would be an easier sell because it's a physical product you made. The pug dog example would invariably go on POD products, and you would be entering a much more saturated market. The main challenge is market competition, and the cutters would have less.
I try to implement as much of your advice as possible and recently, after 21 days from starting my adventure with etsy, I managed to sell my first digital product. I thank you for that! Question about the video: Is there any difference between: 1. Copying the "old" offer, changing a few words/tags/photos and deleting the "old" and publishing a new one. and 2. Editing an existing offer, changing tag photos etc. without creating a new offer? I am asking because I learn new things every day and I have edited all my offers many times and changed the description/photos/tags/uploaded the corrected files from scratch etc.
Hi, new listings start off with neutral quality score, existing listings are either positive if they are selling, or negative if they do not sell, so there is a difference.
I’m so thankful that I found your channel your content is amazing!!! I’ll do all things that you say and my question is, I have 350 listings should I add an all listings a video ? My store is 4 1/2 months old and I list since 1 month the same listings and copy it with another mockups 1 with flat shirt and one with a model or I change the seo. Is this the right way ? Thank you for your answer and your powerful videos!!!
Hi, thanks for your comment. In short, you have listed way too many items, way too quickly, and this will tank your conversion rate. What you have done is not a good way to build an Etsy store. I would save yourself a lot of time and confusion and book in for a 30 minute consultation with me so I can sort you out here.

WOW I subscribed immediately once I watched this video. Why? Because this one video gave me TEN new insights into how to goad the Etsy traffic & search machine to give my store(s) more traffic. The value you gave is 10x ANY OTHER Etsy related video I've seen before yours, and I've seen a LOT of videos about how to crack getting Etsy sales. Most of these apply equally to all other online marketplaces, ebay, amazon kdp and pod, etc etc. Great video. THANK YOU
I'm not sure if I understood correctly your last tip, about puting store link and section link. Did you tell us to put in description of an item? I just need confimration that I understood it correctly. Thank you so much for all your videos and help, I'm thinking of taking that short 5 minute zoom session with you.
I’ve been watching this channel for months (since I was about three months into Etsy), and this is the most useful Etsy channel on CZcams. Because of his advice I was able to go from 30 sales to almost 500 sales in about 4 months. So glad I found this channel

Thats awesome. Im so glad I found this video. I have a new store & Im ready to do what it takes to make it successful. Great advice.
I totally agree with you. This is the best. Intelligent and honest.
You are inspiring.
I have a handmade jewellery shop. I can't see any visit. What can I do

Dude! Love your vids. To the point and highly informative. I only wish I had discovered you a few months earlier. I have lots of fixing to do. Thanks for your dedication and hard work!
Welcome aboard! Thanks for being here James.
This video is really helpful and informative. Will surely implement in my store. U should more of these videos.
Please also make a video on how we can do better customer service. Like if a customer purchased an item from us then what message should we send, how to ask for reviews etc.
Hi there, thanks for your comment. My advice for customer service, think about an good experience of customer service you have received and give that back.
These suggestions are gold!! Thank you so much. Hard to hear practical suggestions are like in other channels.
Glad you like them!
Thanks for the tips . I am starting my new store to launch on March 1st. I will definitely will use this tips. Thanks a million for sharing your expertise.
You are so welcome!
You are the BEST!! Hands down best Etsy coach on the face of the Internet. I will definitely be applying all of these tips and keeping you posted 😉
Great Gia, please do keep us updated with your success.
Very good information thanks a lot I watched most of your video. I started to have sales and I run out of my products ( I sell crystal bracelets) after like 10 hours when I had all my new beads I renew my listings and I lost all visibility, now I know what happened.
Great work from you and thanks again.
You're welcome Betty.!
what a great video! I've had my etsy shop since 2010 and still found here some useful tips, thank you! The best channel of this type for sure, great job!
Hey Justyna, appreciate your feedback. I'm happy to help!
Thanks so much for the good practical tips that give us concrete things to work on. I get sales but I'm always wanting to increase sells especially during slow periods. I will work on all 10 of these tips.
Great to hear Elaine.
Love the straightforward specific actions advice 🙏 so far the only channel that gives advice I can go and do straight ahead after watching the video. Thank you!
Hi there, you're welcome!
Always great info! Side note - So intrigued with your background each video. You’re beneath boulders or big rocks? Such an interesting space! ☺️
Thank you, we have an interesting garden here in Cyprus, its the landscaping.
This is tremendous - thank you!! It took me a minute to find alt text (had to toggle to the old version) but I'm on it! Thank you again so much!
No problem!
OMG, thank you so much for the video💕, NOW I have a lot of work after watching this 🤦♀ 6 month on Etsy and not really happy about it yet, but hey, it's time to work harder! Thank you again, your advices that's what I need to hear!
Hi Olga, you are most welcome!
Love these tips - so easy and yet overlooked. Thanks Nick.
Awesome, I am glad that they are helping you.
Great tips, great videos.
But Etsy is not just about handmade and POD. The platform is also for selling vintage items.
Obviously the stock of 20 tip doesn't work with vintage.
Could you perhaps make 1 or more videos with tips for sellers of vintage on Etsy?
Would be great. Thanks.
Thanks for your comment, I have covered this at length in the video below, please watch it!:

You have a lot of great videos, but this one I’ll keep watching over and over not to miss something each time I list. You have been a great help to me with our one one meetings and I keep learning something new with each of your videos. Thank you Nik. Kayvon.
Hi Kayvon, thanks for your comment, great to hear from you again, keep us updated with your progress.
Hi Kayvon, thanks for your comment, great to hear from you again, keep us updated with your progress.
Hey I would just like to let you know after doing some of the things you mentioned on here copying, updating my stock new photos and brightening I’ve managed to get a sale and lots more likes thank you so much I’m working on my store every day 😊
Hey Jo, really happy to hear that. Keep up the good work!
Nick, You’re such a darling for doing this. Thanks for the 🌶️ tips!
I do have a question regarding bio pics. I don’t want to use my real photo for my bio, what should I do instead? As I’ve been using pics from stock libraries for each shop brand.
Hi miracles, just use your company branding, or as you have done is also fine, the main point is to have something in there so it makes the store look professional.
I'll definitely try this. Thanks for the info
Good luck!
Excellent video, thanks Nik! I'd love for you to do a video on selling vintage/one of a kind items since it's kind of impossible to have more than one in stock.
I second this request, please! :) Love your channel, Nik!
Yes please!
Hi there Marla, already done!
czcams.com/video/zPzDptXFMoM/video.html
@@etsyconsultant Whoa, I thought I had seen all your videos, but I guess I missed this. Thanks very much, am heading over right now to watch
Hi there please see here:
czcams.com/video/zPzDptXFMoM/video.html
I'm gonna start doing these tips today. Only have 21 items in my store currently but I try and add 1 item everyday.
Yes keep listing 1 a day, you should have made a few sales by the time you get to 100 in 2.5 months time.
If only I had found your video earlier! Many thanks. Time for me to get working on my store!
Hi Caroline, great to have you here!
Absolutely valuable! 🙏🏻
Glad you think so!
I had a meeting cancelled today so guess what I'm doing :) Thanks for the tips. I have one listing in drafts waiting to be published and another design ready to list. I have a lot to do but these are great tips. I've written them all down and will start implementing the changes I need to make as soon as I finish commenting here. I've even created a notebook just for your tips. I love checking out your videos to see what suggestions you give next.
Quick question. Do you recommend using comma's in your listing title or leave the words running together? Thanks so much for these videos. You provide stellar advice. Practical, achievable and you're so full of encouragement. Thank you.
Thank for the feedback, I appreciate it, yes I would use commas, it makes things easier to read.
@@etsyconsultant thank you very much. Another Etsy CZcamsr recommended no commas so I changed all my listings but nothing really happened so I'll change them back to comma's. Thank you. I really appreciate your tips.
Thank you for the great tips.
Any time!
Thank you for the helpful tips. I never thought of adding the section link. I am already adding the store link. I am going to add both from now. Thank you.
Hi there Brindha, great to hear and you are welcome.
Glad to have found your channel. I’ve been plugging away at my pod shop for an embarrassingly long time with nothing much to show for it. I was delighted to hear your strategy of 10 listing in 5 days as I am in the throes of implementing it myself already. So validation is great and your post is really energising. Thanks. I’m definitely going to follow all 10 suggestions.
Hi lynne, Great to have you here and thanks for your comment!
Awesome! So psyched to build my store when I receive the hardware
Great to hear
I've got to get on this Etsy soon, eBay is killing me! Hope you're well mate.
All good mate, hopefully see you later this year! Let me know when you get a store open.
Hi Nik. I always value your videos because you give the best advice for our Etsy store. However in this video and under point #4 you emphasize the importance of having duplicate listings. As an artist, I am puzzled about that. I feel is like asking Leonardo da Vinci to dublicate the Mona Lisa. How can I dublicate my inspiration? How can I design a piece of jewelry and make it 10-20 times? The dublicate listings is very challenging to me. However, I will wait for your advise... Thank you again for a superb video.
Hi there, thanks for your comment, I hear you! I have a video dedicated to one of a kind sellers. It's not a perfect solution however use the parts that will work for your business.
Link below for the video:

Great advice!
Glad it was helpful!
New subscriber will watch again and take Notes. Thank you for taking the time to do this.
Thank YOU for subscribing and being here, it means a lot, thanks.
I am going to do all this. Thanks. I will be busy for quite a while.
You got this!
Excellent tips! I have watched 100s of videos on Etsy SEO, nothing comes close to your straight to the point tips. Thank you very much for sharing all this.
I am checking your website now to see what you offer!
Hi Maher, appreciate your comment. Let me know if anything comes up!
Most valuable content about Etsy stores... All your videos are gems. I learn a lot, thanks!
Hey Miklos, you're welcome!
Loved your tip about increasing quantities! I definitely noticed a boost. Thank you so much. Gonna try these others and report back 👍💥
Great to hear, please keep us posted!
Hello...I just found you today...and I can't stop listening to you. I have actually paid someone...but, just listening to you...I am so ready to do what you have asked. I know that I must get my store, in order...and I have been on ETSY for 3 months...but just went live, last week. I will do what you said...and I do have 21 listing (only 3 have sold...and that was to my family (without my Titles, and my Tags...well, they are completely WRONG). I sincerely want to thank you...and will let you know how things are working...in about 2-3 weeks). (Will it take that long to get ETSY to relook at my store?) No matter, I will do what is necessary. I am in Florida...and so happy to be here and starting my ETSY store. Have a blessed evening. 😇🙂
Amazing, let me know how you progress, I am interested to know, thanks!
Such incredible useful info! Thank you so much for sharing this. I’m going to apply them all, starting today. 🙏🏻
No problem Kaki, thanks for watching
Listening to your advice i feel that there is hope to revive my dead shop
There is always hope Eleni, and don't sit there without help if you need it, you can book in for a consultation with me at any time, the link is below, thanks!:
etsy-consultant.com/services/
Thank you! I already watched almost all your videos and try to practice at my shop following your advice . Of course i need your help .After i have somehow the shop organised i will cone to tou fir the rest. There is a lot to solve🙂
Going to rewatch and write all this down and implement as much as possible!
Hi Ellen, great to hear!
Love your channel, Nick! Can you expand on how best to write the alt data for the listing photos?
Hi there, thanks for your comment. All you do is copy the first line of your listing, its easy.
I want to THANK YOU VERY MUCH for all the videos, support and help!! 💗
You are so welcome!
Great Tips Video! I have shared it. Thank you! My question is about seasonal items. You mentioned previously that non selling items bring down the "score" of the shop. What is your specific recommendation for seasonal items? Should they be deactivated, or does one need to remove them completely from the shop? Also same Q. in regards to poor sellers? TY!
Hi Pam, great question. So, for seasonal items that sell, leave them up in your shop. For items that do not sell you can deactivate them.
Love all of this, so much I didn’t realise. Thank you 😊
You're welcome, Sonz!
You're a real one. I appreciate you immensely sir
Thank you for being here and the support.
Yes and I appreciate your advice so much. Love your videos. Thank you!
Thanks for being here I appreciate it!
Watched this last night and watching again this morning to make a detailed action plan. How long do you give a listing making no sales before you consider it 'dead'? Right now my shop is a veritable cemetery but I'm curious how long to leave the bodies before digging them up😂. TIA
Hi Claire, 12 months!
Great Advice Nik, yesterday I followed some of you tips for my digital download stores (alt text, changing primary images). Hope for improvement. We'll see how it goes :)
Nice work! Keep us posted!
Always great advice Nick! Csn you please explain how i do the tip number 10.... ?
Thank you!
Hey Eleni, video on this coming soon.
You are such a lifesaver 🥰. Going to add store and section links right now!
Great to hear, keep going!
@artnmind, @etsyconsultant. In my descriptions, I've added links to related products and to the opening page of my store. But I can't figure out how to link an entire section or category. I'm hoping it's easy! Any information would be greatly appreciated, or maybe you can point me in the right direction. Thanks!! 😊
I have been taking notes of all the videos... Same tip keeps coming in every vídeo. MAKE ETSY COME TO YOUR STORE!!! Great tip... unfortunently etsy suspended my account before i even list a single product and they haven't told why. Support Will take up to 14 days. Meanwhile i am gadering tips and info and designing new items. We need this badly and i believe you are a fundamental help. Thank you so much
Hi there Mike, thanks for taking the time to comment. As far as the suspension it is important that the name of the store owner matches the name on the bank account that you use with Etsy.
@@etsyconsultant i took the time to match and fill everything right but i ONLY listed a t-shirt after the shop build and the Next morning i was about to buy some mokups só i have my listinha cool and i was already blocked. Couldn't buy or sell...lets wait for The support and greener days. Thanks for all the tios again
I'm curious about the advice here where you recommend copying and republishing 2-5 listings a day for dead listings and also ones that have sold. Doesn't this directly contradict your previous advice of the 1 a day listing plan? Is one a day no longer adequate or recommended by you? Thanks for the vid as always Nik!
Hey Hot Sauce, no this is specific advice to kick start a problematic store, and is not general advice, which the 1 a day listing plan is.
Thanks!! when adding link back to section/ storefront, do you put at the very bottom of the description or do you have to add it closer to the top?
Hi you can experiment in your own store, try both.
Brilliant tips thank you, I was going to ask if we should implement these asap or spread them out, eg tip 1 do it now or do one listing a day.
You're welcome Sarah
I sell vintage items and some handmade vintage style items. I am stumped on how many photos you can list for instance of a vintage pattern. Or what kind of video to do. You can't show it in use, the only other option is to show the front and back of the pattern...which is in the photos.
Hi, just do what you can, adapt what I talk about to your business.
Thank you for all of the great ideas!!
Glad you like them!
Thanks, I add alt text religiously on my website (alt, title, caption and description) but didn't know I could add alt text on etsy
Hi Terry! Yep, you can!
Thanks for your tips. I´ve heard often the advice of other pros, NOT/NEVER to change the first photo of a bestseller. I have a bestseller but nevertheless the photo isn´t optimal. I´m a little bit afraid to change it. What is your experience?
Hi Carsten, yes I 100% agree do not do it, because the new photo might impact buyer behaviour negatively.
What do you recommend your brand video include? And what kind of video is recommended for digital items or print at home items?
This depends on how you want your brand to be perceived, and what you want your overall brand image to look like. If you need help with branding feel free to book in for a call with me, and I will walk you through it, step by step:

Great video! New to Etsy and still learning. Will watch all your videos and try to implement them gradually.
Awesome! Thank you!
Definitely going to try these tips!
Do you recommend doing a few of each task a day?
You've been very helpful on my Etsy store journey!
Hi Saiah, and thanks for your comments. Yes a few a day is fine, let me know how you go!
Thanks again for the tips! How much sales you should have before you add those image alt texts? I have a brand new shop, so I want to make sure that I don't mess it up with external traffic.
Hi Mira, once you are making daily sales, you can add it.
@@etsyconsultant awesome, thanks! 👌
@@etsyconsultant Should I not put alt text on the photos of the listings without daily sales, am I right? Thank you.
Here is a question for you. Which type of niche is better: subject niches or product niches?
For example, a subject niche could be all about Pug dogs. The listing would be anything about Pugs: Shirts, mugs, digital prints of Pugs and could even be Pug shaped cookie cutters.
An example of a product niche could be custom cookie cutters. Every type of shape could be made into a cookie cutter here: animal shapes, car shapes, weapon shapes and even pug shaped cutters.
I would call these, broad and shallow vs tall and narrow.
What are the different challenges with these two types of niches and which one is best?
Hey Larry, thanks for your question. I could spend a long time talking about this one, but to be brief, your cookie cutters would be an easier sell because it's a physical product you made. The pug dog example would invariably go on POD products, and you would be entering a much more saturated market.
The main challenge is market competition, and the cutters would have less.
Your videos are super helpful.
I only sell one-of-a-kind originals.
Do your you have advice for that scenario?
Hi, yes, watch all of this video:
czcams.com/video/zPzDptXFMoM/video.html
I try to implement as much of your advice as possible and recently, after 21 days from starting my adventure with etsy, I managed to sell my first digital product. I thank you for that!
Question about the video:
Is there any difference between:
1. Copying the "old" offer, changing a few words/tags/photos and deleting the "old" and publishing a new one.
and
2. Editing an existing offer, changing tag photos etc. without creating a new offer?
I am asking because I learn new things every day and I have edited all my offers many times and changed the description/photos/tags/uploaded the corrected files from scratch etc.
Hi, new listings start off with neutral quality score, existing listings are either positive if they are selling, or negative if they do not sell, so there is a difference.
I’m so thankful that I found your channel your content is amazing!!! I’ll do all things that you say and my question is, I have 350 listings should I add an all listings a video ? My store is 4 1/2 months old and I list since 1 month the same listings and copy it with another mockups 1 with flat shirt and one with a model or I change the seo. Is this the right way ? Thank you for your answer and your powerful videos!!!
Hi, thanks for your comment. In short, you have listed way too many items, way too quickly, and this will tank your conversion rate. What you have done is not a good way to build an Etsy store.
I would save yourself a lot of time and confusion and book in for a 30 minute consultation with me so I can sort you out here. Links are below if you would like to book:

My favorite sentence "Listen to my instructions carefully." (retired teacher)
Yes, and still people do not listen!
Great information!
Could you please do a video on what to include in the SEO for the picture? Do you just repeat your keywords?
Hey Julie, I will be revisiting SEO for a video soon!
WOW
I subscribed immediately once I watched this video. Why?
Because this one video gave me TEN new insights into how to goad the Etsy traffic & search machine to give my store(s) more traffic. The value you gave is 10x ANY OTHER Etsy related video I've seen before yours, and I've seen a LOT of videos about how to crack getting Etsy sales.
Most of these apply equally to all other online marketplaces, ebay, amazon kdp and pod, etc etc.
Great video. THANK YOU
Thanks so much for the feedback
I'm not sure if I understood correctly your last tip, about puting store link and section link. Did you tell us to put in description of an item? I just need confimration that I understood it correctly. Thank you so much for all your videos and help, I'm thinking of taking that short 5 minute zoom session with you.
