[2019] TOP 9 Ideas to Help You Make Money on Etsy!!!

Hi, there!

My name is Andrew

I must say, I am not a seller on Etsy, I am engaged in promotion and marketing. Why? I don't know how to make handmade goods and I'm not interested in it ... I have been working in internet marketing for 4 years and for the last 2 years only with Etsy. This is a very interesting platform that allows my clients to earn tens of thousands of dollars...

A lot of users ask questions about running and promoting etsy shops as opposed to black hat methods that can be employed there. I also get a lot of messages from people asking how to promote Etsy shops. Because of this I wanted to add a list of things Etsy sellers could do to help get exposure for their shop and some good practices, tips, tricks etc.

Please please bare in mind most of these points are for new users and not seasoned pros or IM'ers. Lots of this will be old hat and very basic/obvious to most of you. However from what I have seen with the dozens and dozens of shops people have sent me in PMs I know it will help a lot of people. There are going to be some points that cover the same stuff too so no need to point that out lol.

I’m sure if we get a discussion going we can add lots more points but here are a few to get started with. I hope this info helps you and if you have any questions just reference the point you are asking about and I will be happy to try and help.

Also I will give links to some services. These are my partners with whom I have been working for years -  and I vouch for them!!!

I think this post will consist of several parts. Of course, if you like this ...

    1. Join Etsy teams.

Joining teams is free and easy and one of the easiest ways to get views and traffic on Etsy. There are over 11,000 teams on Etsy, many that are geographically sensitive or specifically for handmade or vintage items but lots that are for any Etsy user to join and promote with. You can post in various threads to help you get some favorites if that is your thing. However be careful, you don’t want to flood your listings with un-targeted traffic. It’s a great way to get your shop seen if you are having a blow out sale but if there is nothing special about your shop it could do more harm than good. If you want to make real connections with people Etsy teams are a great way to do that.

    2.Include an image of one of your products in your shop icon.

If you don't have a logo for your business we recommend that your shop icon feature one of your products that you have available for sale, such as your most popular product. Since shop icons get seen in so many different areas of Etsy, it's a good idea to show one of your products in this space since so many people see this image. You can also use this section to place an image of a sale such a just “50% OFF” doing this can drive a lot of people to your shop.

    3. Add a good quality photo including one of your products for your shop banner.

Adding a banner gives potential customers an idea of what you sell and encourages them to check out your shop. A good banner that represents your shop is another way to further brand your business. You can also include text and promote your most recent coupons and deals. You can order amazing services to create a banner and logo from my partners:

    4. Photos are of the utmost importance for selling your products online.

Make no mistake about it, the better your product photos are the better your products will sell. Create the best images you can with a good quality camera, good lighting and editing software. We personally use PicMonkey to edit photos and to create images that are correctly sized. Etsy item images should be at least 1000 pixels wide. If you don’t have the time or the skill then you can always work with various providers to create them for you. We have found this method is especially worth it if it is a product being sold over and over again. If you are working with a budget and have lots of products then you can just have a few products professionally photographed so that you can use them in promotional posts on social media.

    5. When it comes to receiving positive feedback from customers, providing fast order fulfillment is key.

The most important thing to consider when it comes to having happy customers that will give you positive feedback is proving speedy order fulfillment. Sadly, lots of shops that don’t deserve 5-star feedback will get it because they ship items out instantly. Get your orders in the mail as quickly as you can and your customers will thank you for it.

    6. Have a professional critique your shop preformed.

If you are serious about building a long lasting and profitable business you should consider hiring a professional to critique your Etsy shop. Once you feel like you are set up, you can utilize a service like this to make sure you are getting the most out of your efforts. WE did offer this service and it is a reason we mention it here. Who wants to order this service from me - write to the mail andrew.freejob@gmail.com, but my price is higher than the market - $ 100. But you will receive unique information about improving your store. However, I advise my partners who will make you very good mid-level critique!

    7. Tweet every item you sell.

You can tweet via Etsy. On the right hand side of the listing page you will see a Facebook, Pinterest and Twitter share button. You can use this to share your listings directly to those platforms if you are logged in with your social media accounts. Doing this shows those sites that the post came from Etsy and makes a direct link back to the product for potential customers to follow. This helps a lot with ranking your items on Etsy since Etsy sees the listing as more relevant with each interaction it gets. Interactions would be counted as anyone adding the item to their favorites or being shared to any of the social media sites linked.You will also notice instant traffic and views from doing this. Sadly, in most cases this is bot traffic where a machine is told to click on the link of a new post when it comes in. Typically any link you share will get a few views instantly when it is shared. The idea is to be consistent so that when real people are searching they will find your tweets.

     8. Pin items to group boards to reach hundreds of thousands of users daily

Pinning items to group boards is one of the best ways to promote your Etsy shop. You can share your product pins to relevant boards so that all of the followers of that board see your pins in their feed. You don't need to have a lot of followers yourself as these boards have tens of thousands of followers and visitors each week. This is also a great way to rank your pins.

I advise you to transfer this work to other people. Because it can take a lot of time. Better deal with the production of your product ...

    9. To maintain a perfect feedback score, maintain these three things; quality craftsmanship/inventory, fast order fulfillment and good communication with customers.

If there are any problems that arise with an order then communication is crucial for keeping the customer up to date and most likely, satisfied with their order. Providing tracking is a great customer service extra. You can get free tracking on most USPS shipments by printing out your own shipping labels at home using something like Stamps.com. Taking your packages to a local postal provider may mean that you have to pay for tracking as an extra. Be sure to message your customers to let them know their item has shipped. And if you get any questions make sure you reply as soon as possible, people see you in a positive light this way before they even get their package and then half the battle is already won.
