Six weeks ago I started working to bring back to life a shop that had been on vacation mode for about a year. Conversion rate for those 6 weeks has been 1.5%. But three weeks ago I came across your videos and have been following your advice as if I'm opening a new shop. Conversion rate for just the past two weeks is 2.5%. And the past week, 2.8%. So onward and upward. I've got more of your advice to apply, including the advice in this video, which is eye-opening but makes so much sense. I appreciate your videos so much. Thank you.

Fanatastic news, keep going !🎉

I’ve been selling since August 20, 2023 and my conversion rate is 8.1%. I’ve 775 visits and only 63 orders. I didn’t even know to look at the conversion rate until I saw this video. But, because I follow you faithfully, and do my SEO the way you said from day one, and include good photographs and a video for each listing, I think I’m off to a good start. My store only has 18 products (so far) and they are my own digital products. I do not do Etsy ads and do not drive traffic to my Etsy shop from social media (because you said not to). Thank you for your videos!

Hi, and thanks for following my channel, I appreciate it. OK, if you are making the ornaments yourself, you have a MUCH better chance of succeeding. 95% of the people I am talking to have no intention of making any ornaments, and just want to use POD, this will not work overall.

Could you please consider doing a video about the gurus and the realism of the information? Not naming names or anything specific. I think lots of people are confused by reports of six and seven figure stores. We know they exist, we can see them when we search Etsy, but what is realistic in 2023 for new sellers? And what does it take really to stand a chance of a good full time income? Your advice is very different to most of the other promoted videos. Personally my POD store has a tiny conversion rate and does not make sales. I have watched videos that suggest you can offer multiple diverse POD products in a store, and seen some successful stores do this. But generally, what is the best way to do POD well on Etsy? Is it a more tightly focused product category? Some suggest people only care about the listings and find you through that, rather than caring about the look of the store?

I think he has said to do evergreen items, a few times, for Christmas. Most people are looking for gifts, so people aren’t looking to buy something like a Christmas themed item, that the person will open on Christmas Day, and then not be able to use it after that. I mean, of course, you have families looking to buy matching shirts or ornaments, but generally speaking just upload your evergreen stuff, more so. Digital may be different, I’m not sure, but I have heard him say to do evergreen stuff. Like he said here, if you aren’t a Christmas store, don’t be adding Christmas ornaments, so I would imagine that applies to some of the other things too. Now, this may be different for sellers who have been on Etsy for years, but, as a new store, he says to stick with evergreen.

Hi, yes it is.

If two different listings have the same conversion rate, but they are different prices, I’m guessing Etsy would favour the higher priced item as this means more money for them. Any thoughts?

Hi, if two listings have the same conversion rate, that is not where Etsy would start. Etsy will look at historical quality score first, one item might only have 20 visits a month and make 2 sales, but another item might have 200 visits a month and make 20 sales. The item with 20 sales is going to get higher visbility.

Hi, same answer for you as the other comment!

Unfortunately, I'm embarrassed to say that, I too, fell into these You Tube pitfalls, receiving bad advice as a new seller. I've been working 16 hour days for the past 5 months, creating and designing for my POD shop. I've had 19 sales, but feel so disappointed.

Watch the video I have coming this evening at 7pm EEST, yes christmas ornaments sell well, but not if your store has nothing to do with them.

I have a listing with 1776 visits and 372 favourites but only 7 sales. I've scrutinized it and cannot see why it isn't converting better. My question is - since the conversion rate is so pathetic, is this hurting my score despite the visits and favourites?

Hi Niki, if this is a digital store, this is not the end of the world, but these stats do mean you need to find out what your customers want to buy, and you did not mention how many items you have (very important in this equation).

This year 9.4% all time 7.4% been on Etsy 3 years….86 items in shop at the moment, I sell handmade cards, price I charge is £3.50 per card and 65p towards postage…found a niche in making feminine pretty minimalist birthday cards and new born baby cards…they are my best sellers and my own unique designs … I wonder if I should charge more but don’t want to price myself out of the market 🤷‍♀️

Hey Kate, I got your email FYI I will get to it when I can, constantly backlogged at the moment! The pricing tool is another Etsy nothing burger, it just annoys people, it isn't helpful in my opinion, and is often inaccurate. I would much rather they improve their customer service.

@@etsyconsultant To be able to add new listings, I need to physically produce the items, which are quite large in size. I already have around 200 of them (9 are ETsy picks), and I simply don't have enough space at home to store more))) I'm part of a seller group in my niche, and we all have the same conversion rate of 0.2%. I'm starting to wonder if it's just the niche?

To be fair , placeit videos are quite horrible for POD . I'd rather buy a blank tshirt or sweatshirt and make my own videos to show the inside , the outside for all my products.
