Hi Maribel, it's not easy to get help here, most don't bother,all they do is list their items to get you to their shop, for the rest nothing.Betsy is the only one r
That will try.

Re: Welcome!

Mady, just saying, that's what 95% of the sellers on etsy will do. Not everyone is great at giving advice. Plus, I made this team for people who need support in their shop and crochet. So don't expect many other helpers.

Re: Welcome!

Hi guys, I took a look at all of your shops! Great job getting some stuff listed! I had one suggestion that I noticed about all three of your shops (Valentina, Mady, and Maribel). It has to do with the title of your listings. Etsy very much relies on effective tags to drive buyers to your shop. Did you know that the title is actually used as tags? You want to use every bit of space in they give you in the title. Come up with key phrases that people would search for to find your project.

I will give you an example. Below is one of my listings, a crocheted mouse, that I have sold several times to random people who found my listing through searches. If you click on it, you will see the full extent of the title: Amigurumi Mouse - crocheted mouse, stuffed mouse, plushy, toy mouse, birthday present, grey mouse, cat toy. As you can see, I have put in key phrases that buyers might search for, separated by commas. Note that Etsy will also consider phrases toward the beginning of the title to be more important than the ones at the end.

https://www.etsy.com/listing/485151491/amigurumi-mouse-crocheted-mouse-stuffed?ref=shop_home_active_...

All of this to say: optimize your titles! Create titles with phrases that people may realistically search for. Hopefully this will start to increase some traffic to your shop. Of course, there are other things to consider, such as your photographs. I would encourage you all to take the time to read through Etsy's seller handbook, which should explain even more than I can!

Re: Welcome!

Rachel, Thank you so much for your valuable advice! But are the words included in the title the same as the tags?

Re: Welcome!

I think they are similar, but both help. One thing I've noticed is that the actual tags have a limit to your character numbers. Often the tag I want to use is just one character too long! If that's the case, I'll put that key phrase in the title. Basically, you just want to maximize the available space you have to put tags.

Re: Welcome!

After your items have several views I found the stats of search terms under the traffic tab interesting and useful. I have changed a couple of tags based on this information.
