Much like the title reads, this is the appropriate place to ask questions of any kind; whether it be how to do something on Etsy, or how to setup/use a form of social media, this is the place to figure it all out !


*** The leaders will try and answer as many questions in this thread as we can but anyone is free to help out :)

This is just what I'm looking for. I actually have a question on featured items. How do you get items up on the featured items section in your store. I've asked someone already and I didn't get much help. So if you could help me out with that that'd be great.

Olivia,

1) Start by hovering over "Your Shop: [Your Shop Name Here]" in the top right of your browser.
2) Click on "Listings"
3) Click on the far right tab that says "Featured"
4) Click on "Currently for Sale"
5) Find the items in your shop that you would like to feature and then click on the little star under the "Featured" column.

You can feature up to 4 items at a time on the top of your shop. Hope this helps!

Hi everyone! I have a problem with titles and tags, I just re-dod my tags to be the top 13 tags that were searched for on etsy....but it doesnt seem as though many people search and find me. ive redone my pictures a bunch and im not sure if thats the problem! and what about titles? I have short and sweet...is that bad? not sure! thanks!

Hi Angela, I am certainly no expert, but I read somewhere not to put / or commas in titles. Your beds are adorable! I know when I do tags, sometimes I find in challenging too! I go to google and play around to see what might be the best tags. Then I think about how would I search that.

Hope that helps!

Thank you Whitney for the help. That will help me so much, and was a lot more clearer then the directions I was given in the past.
