Tell me WHY you opened your Etsy shop.
Because when I know what you are working toward, I can help you actually get there. Was it to replace your income? Have more freedom? Pay off debt? Stay home with your kids? Build something that is fully yours? Not only will telling me your WHY let me help you achieve it, it will also remind you WHY you started in the first place and give you the motivation to continue...

All of the above, but also because I wanted to learn Photoshop and having custom orders to work on meant I was forced to learn it properly and work out solutions or give people refunds.

@Doretta Gadsden Yes it was. I previously used to be on the free Photoshop groups, which were good, but you don't really get to stretch yourself because everything is optional and people are just grateful for anything. But when you have paying customers, you have deadlines, and you know you have to get it right.
Have you made a sale this week?
Yes or no. If yes...celebrate it! If no...let's talk about it.

Yes.
Let's Do A Friday Confession (nope not that kind)
What is something you THOUGHT you knew about Etsy that turned out to be completely wrong? For instance, I thought when I first started that I could open up my shop and the floodgates would open and I would be making a few thousand $$ immediately. It didn't happen and I learned that Etsy like any other business has a huge learning curve and takes time. What was your aha moment? Someone in here right now believes the same thing you used to — and your confession might save them months of wasted effort and frustration

I thought if I put my prices up, and didn't have sales, it would put people off. I didn't want to put my store on hold or vacation mode, because I'd heard that was a bad idea, but didn't really have time for custom orders whilst I work on other things. It doesn't work. Which is a good thing, because I've learned I can charge more, which I wouldn't have found out otherwise. The trouble is I still don't have any more time.

@Jodi Johnson When I was first learning, I was in groups where we were being told to have 80% off sales and make our favourites and abandoned basket vouchers 70 and 80% off, which basically meant I was working for nothing. I don't think the people giving that advice actually had stores tbh. They were selling apps etc and teaching people how to run Etsy stores to sell their apps, and it became apparent that they were either leaving out half the necessary info, or giving incorrect info, once I found places where people were actually walking the walk. I did the research and changed my pricing based on what competitors were doing and charging etc. Previously I was listening to people trying to sell me things, who also never offered any proof of them actually succeeding at it themselves.
(Duplicate Listings) One product, multiple listings.
Etsy lets you list the same product more than once with different titles, photos, and keywords targeting different buyers. A "bridesmaid gift" and a "best friend birthday gift" could be the exact same product — but they show up in completely different searches. This is one of the fastest ways to increase your shop visibility without making new products. However, I don't suggest you do this more than one time per listing, so no more than 2 sections per product. If you overdo it, customers are turned off as they see it as spam, AND you run the risk of someone accidentally buying the same product twice and being unhappy. Have you tried this yet?

Yes. I have Nursery & Kids and Drawings & Sketches sections and some things just fit into both.
⚠️ Are you accidentally breaking the law with your Etsy sales?
I dropped this on TikTok live last night and the comments went off — so let's talk about it properly in here. Here's what a lot of Etsy sellers don't know: Running a perpetual sale on Etsy may actually be false advertising. And depending on your location — it could be illegal. Here's the rule 👇 For a price to be considered a legitimate "sale" price — your ORIGINAL price has to be the real price for at least 51% of the time. That means if your listing has been "20% off" for the last 4 months straight — that discounted price IS your price. There is no sale. You're just misleading buyers. Etsy has been quietly cracking down on this. And consumer protection laws in several states are serious about false advertising. Do this audit today: - ✅ Go through your active listings - ✅ Check any listing currently showing a sale price - ✅ Ask yourself — has this listing spent MORE time at full price than on sale? - ✅ If not — end the sale and reset your pricing strategy So what actually works instead? - Launch mode pricing — start low, raise every few sales 📈 (for new sellers with less than 50 sales) - Run real limited time sales — 48 to 72 hours max - Use seasonal moments to justify the discount — holidays, launches, milestones Perpetual sales feel like a conversion hack but they're eroding buyer trust AND putting your shop at risk. Protect your shop. Sell smarter. 🖤 Drop your questions below — have you been running a long term sale? Let's talk about it. 👇

Well I didn't know it was 51% of the time, but luckily for me, I forget to put sales on for most of the time. I see people I know, and know from other groups, with constant sales on though. In fact I was in two Etsy groups on here previously and they told us as part of the classroom and live training to have a sale on almost constantly, and to just put them on for a week, so that there was the time running out urgency factor, and then restart them as soon as they end etc, and that that was what "everyone did". I don't like it either tbh. I feel like it cheapens your products and is a "race to the bottom". I do them for holidays and things, and I give away vouchers. Tbh I'm too busy at the moment and am trying to deter people, I've had no broadband for weeks and am waiting for Starlink so have a backlog of custom orders. Eventually I hope to have actual usable broadband and get back to adding products every day though. But wow, turns out I may know a lot of criminals.
