So I owned an Etsy shop before, and I actually had the photography pretty much down. But then I start this new store selling printables and digital goods and I'm just like uhh..... I don't know what to do!

Please take a look at my listings and let me know what you think:

Would love any advice, tips, or tricks you guys could give me!

Hi Courtney!

I had a look at your shop and I think the best course of action for pictures is to actually print out everything you get for $15.00. All you need to do is print out one copy to use for each of your listings. I would stage the printable pages and take photos. I would use all 5 photo spaces. I think it would be a great way to market your printable blog pages. If you do an Etsy search for printable blog planner you can get ideas how others have photographed theirs.
Also for your title of your listing I would use words that customers search for. I do not think that a buyer will search for 60 printable pages. You could put that at the end of the title if you want but I would definitely have Blog Planner at the very beginning and in your tags as well. Also fill up one whole page of listings so your shop looks full. Hope this helps. Happy Sales !

Thank you for your thoughts!
I certainly can't afford to print out ALL 60 pages for EVERY listing, but I was thinking of picking some to print out and photograph.
I do have MANY more listings on the way! This was just to get something out their for now so I could do some experiments, get advice, etc. before I put up the rest. I actually have 24 different styles and colors of the blog planners and will also being coming out with daily planners, calendars, DIY recipe books / cards, and so much more in the works. I plan to have well over 100 listings by the end of June.

It's funny you mention the title because I just changed it to that last night. All of my titles used to be "PDF Printable Blog Planner and Organizer, The Purrfect Blog Planner *Color Names*"

But I went through and experimented with the titles to see what would happen. I know no one is searching for "Over 60 Printable Pages" but I still have "blog planner" in my tags so maybe they will still see it because of the tags but click because of the title? Maybe not. I don't know. I've also changed the titles of other listings to start with "Printable Blog Planner" as well as one that was changed to the more official name of "The Purrfect Blog Planner"

As I was looking at my listing I realized that at first glance, people might not see WHY I'm charging $15 (Regular Price $20) for these planners so I wanted to make it more visible.

I was also thinking of doing just a Title Photo, which some other blog planners and digital downloads seem to do.
