Etsy is growing, but view are so low

[Former_Member]

Etsy is growing everyday, but this time is really difficult for me. I had last year like minimum 150 views per day with less product, but now I have like 30-60 views, I don't know what to do. I f someone has some advice, please welcome

Do you list new items the same pace like last year? I've noticed that no matter how many items I have in my shop when I list often I get more views.

I am sorry to hear that. My November and December were very slow. But after Xmas, my views and sales have been really moving up.

I didn't do much other than keep designing new items ...

I have picked up as well. Maybe some of the "bugs" were worked out! Listing new items always makes views and sales increase. Just hard to find the time to do it!

Thank you so much

I hope to have as many views as you have had. I only have a dozen or so a day. I am learning the ropes so to speak.

I have a good product and I have been designing/selling jewelry since the 90s. Understanding the Etsy world is a challenge. I like the site and the company, but I find reaching the client among 1000's of products a difficult job. Hope to have it become a good investment someday soon.
Any advice will be wecomed. Good luck to you.

I am listing items everyday but still find my views are low. Not sure why this is but at least i have had a few sales. will be looking at my tags and titles see if tweaking these a little makes a difference.

Hello, at the risk of asking the obvious, wasn't it towards the end of December/early Jan that Etsy changed their search algorithms? If so that may be hampering your results. I am not sure where the files are saved but the SEO guide in the handbook is really useful. I find that google adwords provides some helfpul ideas for keywords.

That's the problem: Etsy IS growing. From the stats I read (which were from a couple years ago), there were about 800,000 shops, and counting. So talk about getting some tough competition!

With that being said, I personally don't rely 100% on Etsy to bring me all my sales/views. I have my name out there on three different blogs that I get regular views from. I also promote on social media (I regularly use Instagram and twitter). My friends/family all know I knit/sew, so they bring me in business.

I also get a jump in views when I renew/add items. (which I have a small pile to add. . . ).

I hope this helps!
