There's no real right or wrong answer. Having one niche item in a shop of many items is not the same as "having a niche", so I'd start by evaluating your overall brand. Do you make a lot of sales by appealing to many niches? If so, creating shop "sections" organized by niche may be your best bet. However, if you're not making sales and you're currently throwing spaghetti at the wall just to see what niche "sticks", it may be better to narrow your focus. Here's another video I created about how I speculate that Etsy's algorithm views niches: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5YkBRCDzkcY.html

My suggestion is instead of trying to compare apples to apples, work to set your shop and your products apart from other sites. If you haven't yet, check out this recent video on my channel about creating perceived value of your products: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6VMEVCgMpUA.html

@@StarlaMoore Thank you! you're awesome!

Hmmm. Did you want to create digital products? If you have design skills, you could create social media "Canva template" packs for different social media accounts!

@@StarlaMoore yes digital products. I might be thinking too hard lol but wouldnt I also need to niche down even further? Ex: canva templates for skincare biz or IG Story templates for realtors

I handmade my accessories from Swarovski crystals. And the account was suspended immediately. Is this still all wrong with the word "Swarovski"? It was just a material.

I would try expanding out a but while still maintaining the core of your niche. My husband and I were big into the bodybuilding scene a few years ago. Maybe begin exploring demand for items themed around other areas of fitness (crossfit, HIIT, bodybuilding, power lifting, etc). There's always something "new" that people gravitate towards in fitness and dietary (keto, IIFYM, paleo, etc). These topics could go hand in hand.

A niche is a theme/idea/target customer who you base your entire business model around. For example, "Chihuahua owners" is an example of a niche. A trend is a fleeting idea/theme/color that may only be popular for a short time but that can sometimes be applied TO a niche in order to create a trending product. If your niche is "Chihuahua owners", you might make a line of small chihuahua sized pet beds with "cherry" printed fabric for summer. This would be an example of applying a trend to a niche. Not all trends can be applied to every niche. For example, "whiskey" was a huge trend last year... but those in the "nursey decor" niche wouldn't necessarily benefit from this trend. So it's important to only select trends that actually fit your niche in a creative way.

Remember: If your products don't inspire YOU, they won't inspire shoppers to buy. It's very likely that you do have passions and interests that you're close to! You may just not see them as possible business ideas because they come natural to you. It may take a bit of deep diving and hard thinking, but everything worth doing takes time. 💛

Me too. My skills doesn't no longer interest buyers. They prefer to buy AI generated images for very cheap. I have uploaded some ai images to test and I got 50 sales in 2 months but the profit is so low I decided to let. A client contacted me​ to buy a custom design when she heard the price She went to buy my Ai generated image 😢😢😢. I felt so bad. My skills compete with Ai in my own shop. @@StarlaMoore

@@StarlaMoore I couldn’t agree more! You’re the master, and I’m just starting out on Etsy, so I guess my come-from isn’t exactly tried and true, yet. However, after watching so many YT videos on the subject of niches, enough to make my head spin and send me into too many different directions, I just decided to opt out of the whole niche, of niches.😉 I also have ADHD, so I’m already predisposed towards considering too many different directions at the same time. Which usually results in me taking none of them at all, in the end. So in order to avoid that very pitfall, I instead decided to create designs based on what me and my network of friends/family wished was already available to purchase. Sometimes I get my design inspiration from within, and sometimes it comes from something that friends/family are super into, with of course a little ‘editing’ involved, for shop coherence. I majored in fine arts and marketing, so it’s not that I don’t understand the importance of niches, I know they’re incredibly important, and I finally landed on a few that make sense for me, and my shop. But I kinda took a different approach to landing where I did, and it had everything to do with me starting with my design first (the part that excites me most). From there I decide what products it would work best on, always keeping in mind not to clutter my shop with incoherent product listings. I guess I’ll find out if my approach is sustainable, as well as if it will offer opportunities for growth. But at least it has stopped the head spinning and indecision involved in weighing too many niche options, and picking none. Now, I only tune into niche videos from a small handful of content creators, your channel being one of them, because I ALWAYS tend to learn something from you. So, thank you!!🙏

Unfortunately there's no way to maneuver around the law. My biggest piece of advice is to study brands who developed their OWN cute characters and who have created stories for them. Then try to capture the fun of "Disney" but with your own unique characters (I'd even recommend developing stories for them). A few brands that do this very well are TeeTurtle, Tasty Peach Studio, and Sorbet Jungle.

@@StarlaMoore thank you for the reply. I hadn’t considered this at all. I’ll be sure to check them out😊

Floral could be a niche, but could you niche within that niche? What style of floral? Is it watercolor floral art? Floral photography? Minimalist floral designs? Maximalist floral designs? Could it be "Floral designs for a cottagecore home"? 🙂

@@StarlaMoore ok thanks. If we did watercolor florals (that one is watercolor) we could do those on multiple products as long as it was watercolor floral correct?

I started making handmade cards, after 4 years I have a particular niche, it’s baby cards, they are very popular, and I even have a best seller 😊 is it possible to niche right down to just baby cards or still do birthday cards too, they sell well but not as good as the baby cards…should I just concentrate on the baby cards do you think, thanks in advance x

Swarovski is a trademark word. Most brand names are trademarked and cannot be used without an official license from the company.

Occasionally, but not recently. I've spoken at high schools and colleges since covid but I unfortunately haven't been booked for any major events since 2019. We did a short midwest speaking tour in 2019 where I was booked to speak in Columbus, Cincinnati, Louisville, and Pittsburg, but all of these events ended up being unpaid and I was left to pay out of pocket for travel, hotels, and boarding for our pets (several thousands in the hole). Since then, I decided "no free gigs" unless they are schools or closed community trainings. 😂 I definitely hope to do more public events in the future though! Heck, someday I'd love to host my own!

I totally understand. I work at a library in Akron and I'm always looking for presenters. Thanks for taking the time to answer me though.

Unfortunately in order to both expand our tools and data, as well as our team (we now offer 24/7 support for all account levels), we have had no choice but to place limitations on free plans. I wish this were not the case, but as eRank grows, we must be able to pay a team to continue supporting the growth and development of our tools. The free plan still has a lot to offer though!

It is. 😂🌽

This comment is so unhinged. 👀

@@StarlaMoore 🤣

Opening a new shop actually isn't best, nor is there any data to support an "advantage" for starting fresh with a new shop, as the age of a shop will not matter at all if that shop has not actively been selling. 😊 Not to mention, Etsy deactivates a good majority of new shops! Since you've had your account for several years, Etsy is very unlikely to wrongfully deactivate your account. So definitely work on your existing shop!

@@StarlaMoore Thank you for replying Starla! That’s really helpful. I’m going to give reviving it my very best shot! 🩷
