@CassiyJohnson

2 жыл бұрын

So I don't think it's too late for Pride because these kinds of designs can sell much more often than just in the month of June if that makes sense, where as Valentines Day shirts really probably only sell right before Valentines day. Ideally you are 8-12 weeks in advance for designs though you are right but I keep listing as we get closer to the holiday, because if one type of design starts to take off, I'll add it to another color, make a new version etc. and those will start selling as well because you found some winning keywords if that makes sense. My best selling Christmas sweater for 2021 was a trend I found on I think 11/4 and sold 400 of them by the end of November! So it's never too late to hope on really hot trends! But maybe don't spend weeks on it, maybe just spend a day or two making 10 designs to see if you can get some sales and then now be ready really in advance for next year!

@CassiyJohnson

2 жыл бұрын

So like in this example, you see I had all of the huge block of SEO words I found at the top and then I picked and chose which ones to use in that example but I could have tried different things as well. Personally I would keep all the big keywords that you want to rank for and then switch out maybe 5-6 keywords in the tags of different keywords like teachers, gift SEO etc. For Pride specifically, you could do all the different kinds of pride like Lesbian, Pansexual, Non-Binary etc. there are lots of different sub niches you can try to use in your SEO. But I don't always come up with three blocks, sometimes your design is too specific for that so don't pressure yourself to do it for every listing.

I've tried it both ways and haven't found a huge difference, most people buy the color shirt from the thumbnail. Either way, just having it in multiple places is a good idea so you come up more times in the search results. If you do the colors in the same listing, just copy the listing in Etsy and change which mockup is the thumbnail image!

Hi Cassie, thanks for sharing. I have a question. If I upload an item to my store, how many days after it'll be ranked? I mean, I've heard Etsy detect this item in 10 minutes and if it's SEO is good, it's ranked in 1st page. I realized that one of my item ranked so quickly in 1st page and sold in 6 days. So, I change my title, tags, description for my item if it's not ranked for the 1st page. Is it ok if I change all of the things regularly? Or Do I just wait a little? Because I realized that one of my product isn't ranked so well, so I changed it so that its rank is well. And that's all. It's ranked. Do I change or wait? What do you suggest?

Thank you for the information you provided. I have a question on my mind. if we take the words from the best selling products, wouldn't we have a performance problem because those words are the most words? i mean, wouldn't we have a problem because the competition is high in these words?

Hello! I have 2 questions😊 1. I’ve noticed if you sort the analytics for most overall sales, but if you just go on Etsy to see what’s best sellers and 20 in the cart, some of the analytics don’t match up with what’s actually best sellers. Like the first shirt on the most sales in everbee is not a best seller or doesn’t have 20 in the cart on etsys website. Does that matter? Should we still go for best seller or should we go off of everbees analytics? 2. Would you happen to know why everbee only shows 64 listings when you click on the analytics? Hope this makes sense! Thanks in advance 🤗

@CassiyJohnson

2 жыл бұрын

Great questions Gabriela! 1. If you sort the results by Most average sales per month instead then I bet it would line up better to the best sellers and 20 in the cart on Etsy! I like to look at the older listings that have gotten consistent sales for a long time and the ones that are newer best sellers so I get a really well rounded SEO, you will typically see the same keywords in both though. 2. Everbee only sorts the results on the page you are on! So if you click the next page, then you can click analytics again and it will sort those as well! It will do the same thing with someone Etsy shop. You can always sort the search results by "Most Recent" in the top corner and this will show you the listings that have most recently sold or most recently been listed. Hope this helps but let me know if you have any other questions

Hi Valerie and welcome to the channel! When you add your items for sale, you need to select where you are willing to ship them, and then this will add you to those other markets! You can also turn "Auto Translation" on so they will translate the languages for you. A lot of international sellers though honestly only sell in the US since it's the biggest market for Etsy and then you only need to worry about checking trademarks in one country instead of multiples for every single listing. I know the KZread channel, Wholesale Ted, she lives in the Netherlands and only sells to the US. She may be a better resource for you for selling internationally.

So if thats the case, and someone does type in exactly "bridesmaid shirts" wouldn't the fact that i included propsal in between not give me the exact match search anymore, but just the broad search?
