my biggest struggle is turning favorites into sales. I get people favoriting my items daily, but not buying.

@adriandolezal3961 Год назад

I’ve noticed a lot of people that favorite things are often just doing that, favoriting things just to browse and not really shopping. Ive looked at the profile most times favoring my stuff but then see they favored 50 other things in the last hour

@Crystal04913 Год назад

My issue with Etsy lately has been the competition. I started my shop in January of 2022 and it was doing amazing the first year because not many shops were making what I do. And now this year there’s been tons of competition and my shops taken a huge hit. I’ve honestly been thinking of leaving Etsy because of this.

@LaurenHeathCreative Год назад

There is more competition for sure, I think with more you have to really change up your strategies and start marketing in new ways!

@russellgtw Год назад

The reselling is absolutely destroyed Etsy, and eventually they will figure it out, and they will beg us to come back, they have been knowingly in breach of their terms of service with their maker users. One of these days they are gonna get sued

@ScrapHappyYarns Год назад

I’m a indie yarn dyer.. my shop has been open 2 weeks and I’ve gotten 1 sale ( my mom) but several people are liking my listings/ shop. Trying to learn the ins and out so thankful I found your channel!

@Itravelbackintime Год назад

Etsy is the Titanic platform I refuse to sail with. Having your own platform and having control over your brand and customer list a no brainer. Dont do what most people do but by putting in the work and really own your business. There are no short cuts. The choice is simple either build your business or build someone else's. Its your money and time at the end of the fay so make it count.

@MandalaBunnyhome Год назад

Ive been on etsy over 10 years, i even quit my day job at one point, but i gave up this year. My shop is still open but i do literally nothing with it other than fill a few random orders a week, i dont promote it or tell people about it anymore. I have a seperate digital shop and its insane the number of people who steal content and relist it

@LaurenHeathCreative Год назад

I have a nightmare of a story I’ll have to tell one day about something similar!

@codyglass809 Год назад

Yes it's dead. Been selling on there for like 10yrs. Around April all my traffic tanked and seems may others did as well. Everything down at least 75%. It's for mass produced junk now and I think it's their priority. Even their new app is practically unusable. Cant even post in their forums because I "lack sufficient privileges". Oh and fees are up to about 50% of a sale.

@plantifulplates Год назад

Etsy is totally dead. Ever since that strike in March 2022 my shop totally died. I was making 3k to 5k a month now I'm lucky to make 500. It seems like people prefer to buy directly from a seller instead of from a platform like Etsy. It's really sad I have been a seller for over 11 years.

@LaurenHeathCreative Год назад

I’ve definitely seen a noticeable difference as well. I’d really love to see them implement some changes to help bring the focus back on small shop owners and less on mass produced products

@plantifulplates Год назад

@Lauren Heath I feel like they're trying to be amazon. They have kind of a bad reputation now for a bunch of reasons and I'm not sure if they could ever come back.

@LaurenHeathCreative Год назад

I’ve heard that a ton from people on here! I’ll be interested to see for sure!

@johnhipp604 Год назад

Can I ask you a question

@agedefyingfitness Год назад

Time to adapt.

@anasofiasaavedra5812 Год назад

I struggle a lot with posting on social media (even though I literally work as a social media manager lmao!) because I have problems creating content that stands out and reaches the right audience. I mostly post on IG and Pinterest, and IG is my biggest struggle, especially with the demand for video content nowadays

@LaurenHeathCreative Год назад

Thanks for sharing! It can be tough but I always recommend just filming every part of what you do for your small business and turn those into reels! Share a day in the life, packing orders, making items, or just cute overviews of new items! Those are video ideas you can repeat weekly!

@eugeniaedits Год назад

Thank you Lauren, I have noticed my sales decreased 70% on Etsy and I have 4 stores in totally different niches and I am seeing this across all of them. I do post on IG and do use Tailwind for Pinterest. But I feel like I should start a blog and maybe drive traffic that way. Ugh so fraustrating. Thank you for your video :)

@desoterica7453 Год назад

Same here. Been selling on Etsy for 10 years. Was doing so well. This year has been the worse.

@JasonMax01 4 месяца назад

I been selling on Etsy since 2014. This year is already a total loss. I made $29 last week with 2k items. Traffic is gone and sales are gone. Ads just steal my money. The only time my sales pick up is June, November and December. It use to be year around.

@CloudSproutStudio Год назад

I mean, I feel like just being able to pop stuff up and not do anything else kind of defeats the purpose. I honestly don't really want to buy from someone who doesn't care to put any other work into it, coming from an Etsy seller myself. I put tons of work into my business and my art and work two other jobs, but I don't want to just throw my stuff out there and forget about it until it sells. I'm not happy about the market being saturated by other bulk sellers but no matter who you are you have to put work into something that you want to make into a business, not just expect it to all sell itself. I feel like a lot of the comments on here are angry because now they have to put time into their business which....feels like common sense?

@Jeniveve Год назад

I agree with you. It is way more work than people think. I also see people complain a lot about fees. Seems like a futile thing to fixate on and relative to other platforms, it’s manageable (if you’re not selling $2 digital items…) and it’s the most user friendly.

@CloudSproutStudio Год назад

@@Jeniveve Exactly! Yes, fees suck, but no matter where you sell your items you will be paying. Paying for your own domain, paying for a booth spot at a festival, paying fees per sale, etc.

@lserrymehl Год назад

There's so much competition on Etsy now it's so hard to be a seller. Most of my listings are showing up on the first page, and often times one of the first items. I used to do really well on Etsy, and my listings are still showing up front page, but due to a flooded market I'm losing sales to cheaper shops, shops that ship same day or offer free shipping (even on items under $10.00 - how's that even possible!?? UGH!) 😄😄

@TwoBusyCrafting77 Год назад

Hey Lauren miss seeing you on my timeline 🤗🤗🤗🤗 thank you for sharing great information it’s always a great help ❤ hope to see ya again soon.

@LaurenHeathCreative Год назад

Thank you!!

@eduardolima3936 11 месяцев назад

I agree about everything you do, for generation X Etsy seller to make good artcrafts, spend time trying SEO, making videos and posting at social media is quite complicated ! That´s why "companies are selling well on Etsy" pack and ship.

@brookesugden7915 Год назад

Biggest struggle is finding the time to compete with the people that are just powerhouses. I am in the digital product sector btw. I work 40-50 hours a week and still have to have time to do the daily things, but also post enough just to keep up. Second biggest struggle is getting sales defiantly very hard to compete with the top players in this game.

@feeham Год назад

But these influencers selling idea of passive income and make 1 million a month easily.... hahahaha...

@DareDavid-or1vf Год назад

Can I be your help with this ?

@daretoskate Год назад

I started selling at the start of 2020, but recently decided to shut my shop down. Why? For the first year or so the fees weren't that bad, but they started inacting all or these extra fees and increasing existing ones. It had also seemed like they had been charging several times for the same fee! After awhile I noticed that when my money got sent to My bank eveyweek, I had only ended up getting less than half of what I should have gotten! The 6% fee that they tell you they charge when you first sign up is a lie, there are all or these other fees that they charge you for that you didn't agree to paying. Another thing was that I had been charged for an advertising fee [which I didn't turn on] several times for my high price items!

@Jeniveve Год назад

I use a formula of 20 cents plus 9.5% (something like that). There’s a transaction fee and processing fee. Then you possibly have offsite ads. Relative to other platforms like Amazon, etc. Etsy fees are comparable. It’s also the most user friendly.

@LaurenHeathCreative Год назад

Advertising fees have definitely been a big one I’ve seen sellers upset with!

@Tish.H Год назад

Ok so now I know I'm not the only one! I thought my eyes were deceiving me but I have also caught being charged multiple fees and sometimes favorites won't show up or sales won't show up. It would be really disturbing if they were taking most of our earnings and we're essentially working for them.

@daretoskate Год назад

@@Tish.H Thats exactly what I think they are doing! They are always talking about how much they love and are working with sellers to help them grow their businesses but in reality it the other way around. They only care about the buyers and only give sellers enough resources to sell our items to make etsy more money!

@funcreationsadventures1814 Год назад

Love your channel! I am interested in learning more about the service that you offer. My Etsy shop is 8 months old and making sales but not as consistent as it was a few months back. I need help figuring out what I can do to improve it.

@stormybaxley975 Год назад

I'd REALLY really like to hear your take on tiktok shop... if you've tried it or why you might or might not.... you've got your mind wrapped around this so well and I'm just trying to get someone else's perspective on it!!!🖤🖤🖤🖤

@lizwuli1007 Год назад

I am overwhelmed with the workload 🤨Creating constantly new high-quality (!) listings is hard. Will there ever be a time when Etsy becomes somehow "passive"? Or are shops only growing or making money if they constantly produce new listings? 🤔

@LaurenHeathCreative Год назад

It can get to a point of passive income but it still will require work because Etsy is an every changing platform!

@feeham Год назад

Etsy is a full time job....PERIOD

@Faaade_ Год назад

Great video. Honest and straight to it!

@LaurenHeathCreative Год назад

Thanks so much!

@liciatoday Год назад

My biggest struggle is having items favorited but no sales. I started trying social media but I feel like I really have no clue on if I am posting correctly because I get likes on my post but doesn’t translate to views for my shop.

@ldiamond0327 Год назад

What about VINTAGE????? ITs not all about handmade.....I am just as frustrated, and there are no answers for us Vintage sellers. My sales have plummeted!!!! drastically and this is my only income!!!!!! DISGUSTED!!!

@LaurenHeathCreative Год назад

I think vintage is a great area of Etsy. But again there are sellers who are sourcing wholesale pieces that aren’t even vintage and selling as though they are

@blissessentials524 Год назад

Its definitely somethig to unvest money into .i hear the successful people spends 10k plus just on ads to get a momentum..thats not including the momthly subscriptions and buying nuce mockups..ive invested so munch money to get a little but of momentum and i finally see it starting to take off..and im working on it 8+ hours a day most days im not working at my full time job

@LaurenHeathCreative Год назад

Interesting! I’ve noticed ads do help but yes they take quite some time to pick up and catch the right eyes for certain products

@mariner1358 6 месяцев назад

They are very frustrating.

@bandofweirdos Год назад

Hi Lauren! I agree, I really miss how Etsy used to be, thanks for sharing your perspective. Are you still running Cotswold & Co? Miss your content but it looks like you’re closed down! I really hope you’re okay, felt a lil worried ❤️

@LaurenHeathCreative Год назад

Hi! We are not!

@bandofweirdos Год назад

@@LaurenHeathCreative Ah okay! Do you think you’ll ever do a story time around what happened? If not I totally get it, just thought I’d be blunt and ask 😂💕

@akine6879 Год назад

Thank you very much for this! Do you know any other places where you can do similar things as you do on Etsy, that maybe work better?

@LaurenHeathCreative Год назад

Really Shopify if your best option outside of Etsy. Although you’ll have to drive your own traffic for that!

@jonnychavez9932 Год назад

Taking a shot in the dark here hopeing some one can help answer my holiday discounts and sales question since when I search all I pull up is "how to boost your sales..." ok so here are my Q - how many days or weeks prior to a holiday should you start offering the sale or discount? Would that be the same for the "Holiday Season" as oposed to lesser celebrated holidays that may still be a good reason to have a sale?

@blissessentials524 Год назад

Aren't we supposed to have a flash sale all the time??

@Jeniveve Год назад

Are the items holiday specific or are they items in your shop that you want to push for during the holidays? If it’s the latter, are they generating sales?

@Jeniveve Год назад

General best practices are running sales during times you know your customers are shopping. For example: i get a bulk of my sales on Friday, Sunday and Monday. Run the sale for 24-48 hours at a time so you have that countdown. I could run a 24 hour sale every day for 7 days, but I don’t really find it makes a huge difference. Plus, I do want to urge people to buy. Without knowing too much detail. I’d list the new item for the holiday 4-5 weeks before the holiday. Figure out shipping time (2 weeks before?) and run the sale them. People started shopping about 1.5-2 weeks before Mother’s Day and it totally slowed down this week with the gifts.

@HeatherOCain Год назад

They are targeting and deactivating REAL handmade items instead of the Alibaba stuff that makes them $. Even though you can prove your items are handmade they don't care & will not reactivate it most of the time. A real human could see that my items are totally unique and handmade. It is getting very depressing, I guess that is my biggest challenge with Etsy. It seems it is just one thing after another the past couple of years on Etsy, I suggest another platform or your own website!
