I'm a commercial photographer (but also ceramic maker, artist on the side thinking of expanding into Etsy). Years ago, when I first left my publishing job to shoot full time I had a mailer printed. This was before I earned any money from photography. It cost me a couple of grand and then maybe a thousand for mailing. It was paid back in one job so I agree that paying for ads or paying for marketing works---if the product you have is something the marketplace finds to have value.

Just a reminder, Etsy doesn't allow new shops to advertise. A store must be open for an estimated 10 days to 4 weeks depending on the shop in order to advertise. It's in their training video. I run 2 successful Etsy stores and plan to open 2 more. I've been hired to open Etsy stores for other people, and the same happens with them.

I realized I was the one creating my sales with my marketing off of Etsy. I have not had a single sale from an Etsy Ad.

Are your store's products SEO'ed? SEO is a very important way to increase the sales of the product.

Etsy already makes waaay too much money off of sellers as it is.

Hi! I just wanted to let you know after I watched one of your videos about ads I decided to try it because I was not getting any views, but maybe one a day. Also, the only sales I had was from family. I have not told that many people about my store except for about 4. In the past I was reluctant to do ads because I had heard to wait until you are getting sales. Well I just tried it on 2 listings and a dollar a day and I’m happy to say I got a sale from a stranger!! So I will be doing ads to get some traffic and hopefully some reviews out of it.

I mean, the company I work for does $600k sales per day, and most of that is because of ad spending. Just saying. Traffic is key in the online world.

Great video. question for you about turning off ads. My breakeven ROAs is 3x and many of my mugs are below 3 (~ 2-2.5) so i was going to turn off those mug ads. but..i have just as many sales organically as i do with ads. if i factor those organic sales in with the ad sales, that then puts me over 3. are my organic sales higher because of those ads? Is that a good way to think about it? what would you do about turning off those mug ads? thanks for the help.

Ads never were profitable for me. I would make sales through my ads but i live in Poland where I have to pay 23% VAT on every penny spent on ads, plus on all the fees... It's just too expensive. After fine tuning my ads & products I was able to basically break even or get a very small profit but sale volume didn't increase much and I don't want to increase my prices because they're already on the high end as it is.

Got same results with my etsy ads. It cost me $137 to make $200 in sales. To me that does not worth it. It seems like these guys are just paid to push others to pay for etsy ads.

Hi! I am starting to plan opening an online shop. May I ask for your advice what video in your list should I watch first for guide?

Are you talking about Etsy ads (daily amount of desired fee per click ads) or outside Etsy ads (Google)? Thanks for all your content. You have taught me so much!

Thank you 😊

That's not an ads problem. If you had 700 people visit your listings from ads and no sales, that's an issue with your listing!

The only few sales I made from Etsy came from organic views came from single random people that were looking specifically for my products occasionally. Yet I'm still trying ads (1 to 3 dollars a day to look for data). And I've learned that it's useless to have many views if they are not relevant to the product. Also in 2024 it's very hard to rank organically. But even if I niche down and I rank in the first page, if niche is too strict very few people are gonna buy the product. I also tested eBay and I made some good organic sales from nowhere of the same products (posters) I was trying to market on Etsy with no results. Yet I don't want to give up because if I have sold a few products organically it means my items do have a market, even little, and it's worth to spend some money in ads to start with to market them as I can.

Hi, I am from india. Which alternative of paypal i take for receiving Payments. Because it costs me approx 20% . Which includes paypal conversion +etsy charges

Where are u finding that keyword research tool you showed in this video? Is that an Etsy or Google tool?

How many products do you recommend we test at one time? Not the whole shop right?

How are you getting email addresses from Etsy customers?

Are ad fees deducted from your earnings, or do you get invoiced separately? They are not very clear on it.

Thanks for all the tips. Question, im new, curious how many listings do you suggest one has before running ads?

Thanks for the comment. We added the resources in the description that I mentioned in the video. Let me know if you have any questions :-)

Thank you for making these informative videos! I do have some questions. Since Etsy gets Millions of visitors a month organically, how are ads beneficial to turn on? Wouldn’t it be more beneficial to bring in visitors from other paid ad sources like Instagram ads or TikTok ads? What is the significance of Etsy ads versus the other paid ads sources?

On-platform traffic will almost always outperform off platform traffic from places like social media networks, because they're already in buying mode... Versus looking at food pictures on Instagram. There's nothing wrong with driving external traffic, but you should always maximize internal traffic first

When it comes to Ads, doesn’t Etsy charge us for the “clicks”, even if people don’t buy a product. It’s kind of confusing and a little concerning if that’s the case.

@brandcreators

6 ай бұрын

Paying per click is how most only ads work. You're only charged when someone is interested enough to click on the ad and visit the listing. That's a good thing! If you're not converting those people, it means You're not meeting customer expectations or have an issue with your listing

@@brandcreatorsAlso dont forget that Etsy shows in its listings when sellers are running ads and there have been problems with other competing sellers clicking on those ads to run up other sellers bills!!! So in some of those occasions its not actual customers clicking on the ads but competing sellers! Etsy should not show when sellers are running ads for everyone to see!

I am so overwhelmed trying to learn this stuff. Wife and I love books so I thought book would be a good niche. But that's very broad. So I focused some designs on one particular book. But is that too narrow? I don't really know. I watch 5 billion videos a day and still not entirely sure what I am doing :(

I have listings with many clicks on them but they have no sales. What do you think is the problem? Price? Design? .. thank you so much...

@brandcreators

7 ай бұрын

You would need to look at where the clicks are coming from. Are the clicks relevant to what you are selling? If not that's your problem. If they are, it's most likely to be your images and description arent' giving buyers what they need to make the purchase.

Profit is income minus all expenses. You would need to account for all of the money you spend including ads, fees, product cost, shipping, etc

How do even do this then when you almost no money to invest in ads in the first place. Seems like a catch 22 to me.

Stop thinking and start paying for etsy ads.

When creating my second store I got suspended even before I gave them my bank info for direct deposit. After I added my eight product listing, I got suspended. Two days later they said was an error. I ended up not opening the store and just kept adding them to my current store. It seems that they may be discouraging multiple shops from the same seller.

It sounds like you were banned for something previously or you wouldn't be using a "proxy". There's no reason to trick the system...if you're following the rules.
