Selling on Etsy

[Porky]

Have a shop on etsy, haven't sold a thing. Have one item in eight baskets but no sales
I just wonder if they get far less traffic than they claim?

Or your products don't fit / have competition.

Etsy works amazing for the right products.

What marketing/advertising have you done?

How do people know about your products and your shop?

What kind of 30 day views are you getting ? (from your dashboard)

634 views and 410 visits in last 30 days, 8 items are favourite.

You are probably right not the right products for Etsy audience- the other issue is spam messages never known anything like it for spam messages on first listings.

I would say the product isn't right / competition are cheaper from this as would of expected at least one to have sold.

That's a good number of 30 day views. Is that your overall dashboard views for a month or one of your individual product view numbers ?

Feel free to DM me a link to your shop/product. I used to sell a lot on etsy but have found it's dwindled away a lot over the last couple of years

Many years ago I pointed several people to Etsy and Not on The Highstreet. Both platforms were started by people with a background in marketing. I was one of the first Traders on Not on The Highstreet. They sold it to me that they really were looking for products that were unique and not available on every high street. Initially we did really well but then just about every indi high street retailer had a shop on there, all selling similar products to one another. Then they allowed anyone to join! The only ones that really gained were the owners (google not on the high street history).

Both NOTHS and Etsy and now so flooded you might as well be a grain in the sand.

If you have a good, well known brand or unique product you might be able to top up your income slightly.

It's a bit like, craft, antique fairs, farmers markets, the only winners are the organisers because for every small indi that falls off, there's always someone else that's desperate and willing to give it a try.
