How many views do you get in a day?

[#1]

I notice that I don't get much traffic in my shop... I want to say I get from 0-3 or 4 at the most on some days. Am I just not tagging all the right words? Am I at the bottom of the barrel? How do I get more people to see my stuff? or is this about average?

How many views do you get in a day?

[Former_Member]

I get around 100 views a day, around 10% are favorites. But zero sales so far. :(

[Former_Member]

I'm not getting very many views either, so thanks for bringing up the question. I'm going to look at my tags and titles and change them up a bit.

Silly question maybe, but since I'm new to Etsy, what are BNRs and BNSs?

[Former_Member]

Hannah,
Funny you asked that question because I wasn't sure myself. Here's what Sarah had wrote to me...

A BNR is a Buy and Replace treasury, which is a collection of shope put together by the curator, youu usually have to "call out" what shop you want to buy from, wait for the go ahead and once you have posted your transaction link, one of your items replaces the shope shop you bought out. A buy and stay is similar, but the shops stay up for the whole round and if you buy from them you go on a list which comprises the next round.

Sound pretty interesting, think I'll try checking that out.

I think I get about 50 views a day but this has been up to 120 views. I think taking part in the BNS really helped my views counts as it helped me network, get in other peoples circles and also I got some buyers :). I am now running my own BNS which is really fun :)

I am hoping for some increase in views when I get some more stock in and also nearer christmas :). Fingers crossed!!

Natasha Wiegand, thanks for the positive view on views!!! I'll now go out for my daily run in the woods and hope that those 175 people who viewed my shop today so far will someday come back and buy something.

Cynthia - I get between 5-10 views a day. When I post on the teams I can get up to 25 views and once in a while might get a favorite out of it. Not sure what the secret is for getting found and getting lots of views. Hope you can figure it out and it start working better for you.

For me right now I am focusing on my craft shows through the end of the year and then I will get back on ETSY and get things updated. I am having enough of a challenge keeping my show inventory up. I've had shows every week since the middle of September and go through the middle of December.

I have been listing now for about 8 weeks. I average about 10-35 views and have had 2 sales. It feels like a humble start! I would love someone to look and suggest ways to improve

[WilliamsGiftshop]

I average around 150 views per day.

My advice:
- search engine optimalisation (titles, descriptions, tags)
- including links to shop and shop section in each item descriptions (to lure people that stumbled upon one of your items into the rest of your shop)
- being active in the Etsy teams and forums
- offer perfect items in a perfect way, with perfect customer service (have people return to your shop)
- promote outside of Etsy
- etc.

I have been getting about 200 -350 views a day, but just in the last month. Before that, I was getting about 100-150 and was thrilled.
For me, a good way to get views is to take really clear and clean pictures that would go well in treasuries and tag them the way you think someone might look for items when making a treasury. I have been in a lot of them lately and it really helps to bring new customers to my shop.
Also, sneaking one of my items into my Pinterest collections has really spread the word and brought in more views.

[Former_Member]

Hi Carla,
How does that treasury work? Is that the same as selecting Favorites?

[Former_Member]

For the past few weeks:

200-300 on slower days
300-400 on busier days

If my inventory drops low or my general site activity decreases, my views will fall, too. It takes constant work to maintain views! My views have increased from about 50 a day in July/August. My secret? The Etsy Seller Handbook!

[Former_Member]

Thanks I appreciate everyones input... I've got alot of work too do!

[beadsofaquarius]

I had 60 views too days ago , and 11 views today , it's really depend of " i don't know what "! lol!

[Former_Member]

as a person who works full time and sews in the evening where does one find the time to devote to etsy? ls it really a lot of work to get off the ground?

[Former_Member]

I am getting 40-100 views a day, usually around 60. Lately I have been getting very low views on week-ends.
I would love to be consistently over 100.

[Former_Member]

Sandra,

Yes, it's a ton of work to get off the ground! And a ton of work to maintain any level of views!

School, work, Etsy. It really does take a lot of time, that's for sure.

[Former_Member]

perhaps for me, slow and steady? dont expect people to come flocking quickly until l have more time to devote to it? LOL

l'll take my time learning right now, l guess, about tags, etc.

and peeking in at what others are doong. B-)

[MellowMoonSupply]

4-10 a day, ugh! LOL!

[theartsyhippie]

Getting close to a 100 a day now...It has doubled in the past week. I guess the coming holiday shopping season is to blame? :-)

[Former_Member]

My average over the past 30 days is about 37 views/day, and 4 favorites/day. It varies sometimes depending upon when I post new items or when a random person spends a while in my shop (which is what I figure is happening when I get a bunch of views in one hour where I don't post or renew).

[UnicornspumpkinsShop]

I post product links on Etsy groups on Facebook. Idk what else to do . I started just 2 days ago, I got 100 views (2  days) but I'm pretty sure it's from the groups and it ll eventually fade. Im thinking paid ads. Do they work?
