Etsy needs to add a section specifically for the shop owner with suggestions what can be done to make more sales or reach more potential buyers. Every time the shop owner visits the website and his/her shop, he can check this section for ideas to try.   I am lost every time I visit Etsy.  I have the same  250 watercolor prints on Etsy and Ebay and I sell much more on Ebay because the site gives pointers where to add discounts, approach interested buyers.  
Just a suggestion.

Very nice suggestion. I do not know that the other platform has something like that and I do not use it. My shop is for vintage items. Is there something as plus there for shop owners like me? Thanks!

Welcome @1to10DollarShop @TheDeadPeoplesStore @HeronHollowCreative @HDesignStudioo @GrenDesigns 

Sorry for my very, VERY slow reply.  Etsy banned me from the ARTteam for a year because I criticized them.  

Anyway, it's great that you are all here.  And now that I'm back I'll be cleaning up the group and making lots of updates.  THANKS AGAIN!

Hi Mike:

How do you get Etsy to add the color "AQUA" to their listing input screen and the Holidays "Mothers Day" "Fathers Day" and "Graduation Day" to their listing input screen ?   It requested this through customer service and I got computer generated Jargon.

[MikeKrausArt]

@SeaGemsbyKatherine Unfortunately, that's an IT/User Experience issue.  You'll probably have to choose "blue" or "green" instead.  They have LOTS of flaws and glitches with their listing form.  And it's caused many problems over the last couple of years.

Sorry I don't have a better answer...

Hello everybody,

I am Diana and since childhood, I have been fascinated by beads, craft accessories and everything related to that. I really like making earrings but also necklaces from fabric, since my mother is a dressmaker and we always had a lot of beautiful fabrics in the house. So I thought of making some beautiful flowers from them that will finish in necklace, to fit with women´s outfit.

In addition to my job, I am still looking for free space to create, which I love with all my heart. There is nothing more beautiful for me than creating something that will make people smile. I also like sewing and do sports, tourism with my beloved husband and daughter. In addition to such sedentary work, I strongly recommend you all guys exercise every day. :))

Have a lovely day

[MikeKrausArt]

@WhiteCatArtCo WELCOME TO THE ART TEAM DIANA!  We're so happy you're here.  

And what a wonderful shop and journey you've been on.  And you are so right about exercise.  It can be annoying, but makes us feel so good 

THANKS AGAIN and please let us know if you need anything!

Hi everyone,

I'm Mahir Uysal 

https://fontflock.etsy.com

a visual artist and designer who’s just begun my Etsy journey. My shop is a small reflection of my creative path—a place where I merge inspiration with everyday functionality through my designs. I’ve spent years as a passionate buyer here, discovering incredible work from independent creators and dreaming of one day contributing my own story.

Starting out has meant lots of learning, experimenting, and even making mistakes along the way. But each step—every small triumph and challenge—adds depth to my work. I’m excited to join this community where we share knowledge, inspiration, and support with one another.

Thank you for welcoming me. I look forward to growing, learning, and creating meaningful connections with all of you!

Best regards

Good morning.  Katherine from SeaGemsbyKatherine.etsy.com. 

Where is the best place to find keywords for my seaglass jewelry?

Does anyone pay for insight or marmalead?  How do you like them ?

Have they helped you get more business on Etsy ?

[MikeKrausArt]

@SeaGemsbyKatherine  Here's what I use: https://tools.wordstream.com/fkt?website=seaglass+jewelry&cid=&camplink=&campname=&geoflow=0 

[SeaGemsbyKatherine]

Mike: Thank you. I was able to generate a list of keywords to use on Etsy for Seaglass Jewelry. The list contains statistics for Conpetition, Search Volume, Low top page, High top Page and bid.   Which would be the optimal Keywords to use ? Medium Competition ? High ?    What about Low and High Top Page and Bid?  I got the Keywords, but am not sure how to interpret the statistics. Can you give a suggestion:  EG :  SEAGLASS JEWELRY, HIGH, 100 competition, 9900 search Volume, .32 top page, 1.35 High top page   Is this a good Key word ?  Why ?    Thank you.

[MikeKrausArt]

@SeaGemsbyKatherine That's the tricky part of keywords because there's no "correct answer."  

What I suggest doing to experimenting.  See what works best for you.  For a month, try keywords from each category.  Then see how many people visit your items/shop using those keywords at the end of the month.  If some keywords do better than others, replace poor performing keywords with better performing ones.

Hello, everyone!

I'm so excited to be part of this wonderful community — thank you for the warm welcome!
I run a shop that focuses on seasonal planners (like summer & winter editions), life-simplifying printables, and thoughtfully designed tools to bring a little more clarity and inspiration to daily routines.

My goal is to help people stay organised and motivated while also adding a touch of creativity to their day.
I'd love to connect with fellow creatives here, support each other's growth, and share feedback!

Wishing you all lots of success and inspiration.
Feel free to check out my shop or reach out — I’d be happy to support you back!
