Etsy sales down 2018. If your etsy sales were down in 2018 i want to give you some encouragement. That being said some sellers genuinely need to calm down on etsy. 2018 was a year of big changes on etsy but i truly believe they are headed in a good direction and that the opportunity still exists to be successful on etsy beyond what you can even dream of.
I had the design pre done knew the size i wanted and had a very lenient time frame on it. A lot of people ask me for etsy shop tips or what to do is their etsy. They screwed up things just like ebay has.
I have no time for that. Just yesterday i was responding to a gentleman on one of the groups that said his sales were down and he didnt understand why. All they needed to do was print it out.
All my sales came from google ads not etsy. Etsy has become the go to ecommerce site for all things handmade and artists and craftspeople from all walks of life have found success selling their products on its platform. Many individuals also sell craft supplies such as beads wire and jewelry making tools.
I have no time for hide the listings. I hit 10000 sales and my store went from 200 300 views a day to 4 no joke. Fri nov 9 061009 2018.
My items are not being promoted by etsy either you cant even find them in searches. All i was doing was paying money to etsy every month regardless whether i made a sale or not. Etsy is an e commerce website focused on handmade or vintage items as well as art and craft supplies.
I know etsy doesnt encourage this but they dont say you cant do it either. Etsy was started about 14 years ago but has come on strong over the past few years as the visual web has come into its own. Etsy move to new billing proves painful for sellers.
I thought i was building my business through more aggressive ads in 2018 only to watch my clicks to go to zero in. In this video i show you my step by step method to boost your etsy sales if you have noticed a slump or decrease in 2018. My guess is that it is related to an algorithm tjat they manipulated.
I reached out to a seller to print me custom thank you cards for my orders. Update your etsy seo. I try to purchase everything on etsy unless there is a crazy mark up.
My sales dropped 99 on a store that has been busy for 5 years. Sales have plummeted and did so almost overnight. I may leave etsy as well.
My sales are down 90.
