I’ve been an Etsy seller since 2012. My sales peaked in 2014 and have slid a little bit every year. This year is abysmal and I’m very upset. I went from making several sales every week last year to nothing. I’ve made zero sales in the last 30 days. I’ve had to cancel my Etsy promoted listings because it was costing me money and with no pay-off.
My question is, what changed at Etsy to cause such a drastic change? I have a lot of money tied up in beads and stones, thinking my success would continue. I’m at a loss for how to re-ignite things. (I do have my own website with a few sales but Etsy was always a reliable income stream until this year).
