I have searched and searched and searched a lot more and every time I watched a Youtube video it was different advice. You get sucked into the rabbit hole of Etsy selling and how to list your items. Once you find a Youtuber that you think you can trust or want to follow, they sell you a $5,000 course about how they can help you make six figures. Well if I had $5,000 to spare I wouldn’t be searched Youtube for help.
Finally, it happened! I stumbled across Etsy Consultant, yeah right… this is too good to be true! A man with his white board and dry erase marker was going to help me find my way?! YES!!! I watched this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPElFduVPf4 took notes, watched it again and then went to my Etsy store. Since it’s almost Halloween / Spooky Season, I updated a few of my sweatshirts with title, attributes and tags like he recommended. I woke up this morning to 28 views!! I don’t get 28 views in a day and here I am at 9AM in the morning with that many views, I checked my stats and low and behold… the views were on the updated hoodies!!
My takeaway… you don’t need to keyword stuff the title, your tags don’t need to make sense, as long as you have all of the words that are relatable to the item, Etsy will pull from tags and title and mix and match the words. You don’t need to make a description… a description is so that customers don’t need to ask questions. The description is all about the item, fabric, brand, where it’s sourced from etc. I am blown away by this new information and will work on a few more items today to see if my views turn into visits!
