<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"> </span></span></span><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">This is in response to the overwhelming amount of people that keep asking me to help set up their Etsy. I literally can't. I can give you a few tips, but the amount of time I would have to spend would force me to close my shop. It can takes months or even years in some cases to get a thorough understanding of e-commerce and getting your shop all set up. I wish I would have found a thorough post like this before I did mine. I believe that I know have a good understanding of how to work an online shop; however, some parts of my shop still need help. This is because I set up a shop that now has over 250 items, and it is extremely time consuming to go back and fix what I did not do right the first time. Hopefully this will answer many of your questions and help save you some of the<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"> </span>headaches that I had. </span></span></span></span></span> </span></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"> <span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"> This is the second time that I have tried to run a successful Etsy shop. I now understand why even small businesses hire someone to do their internet marketing for them. Its a pain in the a$$. So, you have an awesome product, and everyone you know always says that you should sell your "stuff". You think "Ok, this will be easy. I'll take some photos, and throw it up in an online shop. It will be as easy as sticking a photo of something cool on Facebook". </span></span></span></span></span></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: left;">

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"> <span style="font-weight: normal;">You/I couldn't have been more wrong.</span> </span></span></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">I have spent countlessssssssssssssss hours researching how to be successful on Etsy. This has included reading tons of blog posts, forum posts, Etsy team posts, and websites that have helped a little bit here. . . and a little bit there. When I say countless I'm NOT kidding. I would spend more time trying to figure out internet selling then I would spend working on my products. Are the answers even on websites, blogs, forums, or in Etsy team posts?!? </span></span></span></span></span></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"> I found many answers. I found many conflicting answers. I tried over and over again to gauge which answers were correct. Wait. Hold the phone. I worked at Yodle for over a year selling internet marketing. They are Google's largest marketing partner. I can do this. </span></span></span></span></span></h2>

<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"> I will admit, I've been slacking in the "work on your Etsy shop" department; however, I'm still having sales which means I've done something right. I haven't even touched my shop for the past month, and I'm still averaging about four sales a week which can only mean that I HAVE figured something out. </span></span></span></span></span></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"> <span style="font-weight: normal;">This is a summary of everything I have learned over the past five years of trying to be Etsy successful. I have put very little effort(that is about to change) into my current shop; however, over the past four months I have had 50(two more as we speak!) sales. If you're not willing to follow even one of these tips then I would consider saving yourself the headache and going back to your "normal" job. Sorry to be blunt, but sometimes you need to hear it. Running a business is difficult. </span> </span></span></span></span></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">Here is the golden advice that I can give to you. . . </span></span></span></span></span></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span><span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></span></span></span></span></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">1. You cannot sell it if you don't list it</span></span></span></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><span style="font-size: small;"> <span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="color: black;">This one really could not be simpler and yet I went around and around with this. You simply can't sell it if it's not there. Don't worry about renewing listings that have not sold. List new ones. The right person for your item is out there, and if you're doing everything like you should then they will find it. Items stay up on Etsy for four months before you must pay to renew them. If it has not sold by then, you can reevaluate it. In the meantime, the more you list, the more options your customers have. If you have a gorgeous Carnival glass bowl sitting in the corner that you never listed because your too busy doing crap that does not matter then that lady in North Carolina who wanted it for her wedding decorations will never find it. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></h2>

Put in a couple of letters and the items that pop up are filtered by searches that actual people do. Simple. Nobody is ever going to search for something like "My Favorite Ever Forest Green Woodland Vintage Embossed Super Cute Coffee Mugs". These must be searchable terms.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #e69138;">You can also search Google AdWords in order to find good keywords. You now must sign in to use this feature; however, it is still free. Don't purchase anything. Go to "Tools"→"Keyword Planner"</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #e69138;">◆Put in a keyword that is similar to something that would be searched in your shop.</span><br />
<span style="color: #e69138;">◆The "keyword planner" will then bring up searches similar to yours. (you can also filter by location)</span><br />
<span style="color: #e69138;">◆It is important to see the average monthly searches and the competition for them. Find keywords that match your items, have high monthly searches, and very low competition and you've got yourself a winner! </span><br />
<span style="color: #e69138;"><span style="color: #e69138;">◆This gets easier and takes less time after some practice.</span> </span><br />
<br />
Once you have figured out good searchable terms:<br />
1. Make sure your spelling is correct.<br />
2. Try to use searchable phrases, separate with a slash "/", and make sure to use spaces. Use 2,3, or 4 or so phrases, but don't go overboard.<br />
3. <b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Do not</span></b> repeat words in headings. <b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Google</span></b> views this as a no no and will drop you in searches. This is called "keyword stuffing". This does not matter for your actual "keywords" just do not do it in your heading. Ex. "Vintage Yellow Pyrex Mixing Bowls, Yellow Vintage Dishes, Farmhouse Dishes"----BAD instead do something like "Vintage Yellow Pyrex Mixing Bowls / Farmhouse Dishes". <br />
4. Where relevant include: colors, sizes, shapes, dates, styles, textures, sheen, weight, and so on. <br />
5. Your first headline phrase especially, but you should do it with all of them, should match your keywords.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
This helps you gain relevancy in Google searches. They should match exactly. . . well as much as you have room for since keywords can only be so long. <br />
<br />
Lastly, use all of your room for keywords. Very important. The more you have, the more likely you are to be found. You don't need to repeat words unless it is for a specific phrase. In this example "vintage" is a wasted keyword spot. The term "vintage" is already used more than once. This keyword spot can be used for something different. Also, fill up the keyword spots. The keywords "mug" and "serving" have room for more. <br />

Sometimes you can use very popular keywords, but sometimes off the wall random ones might find you a buyer such as "Woodland inspired decor". In this situation anything is better than "vintage" because it is just redundant.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f;"><span style="font-size: large;">Additional keyword tips:</span></span><br />
<br />
1. Google changes their search parameters on a daily basis. If you're getting traffic regularly and then it suddenly stops then something has changed. I would reccommend slowly changing a couple keywords, and then seeing if anything changes.<br />
<br />
2. Don't change everything everyday. When you change things on your site it takes time to register on the internet. This is basically called crawling. Search engines send out their "spiders" to "crawl" the internet regularly; however, this does not happen immediately. It can take days or weeks. Give it a little time to see if you have any changes and watch this in your dashboard. <br />

3. Need some more keyword help? A great place to look is in the treasury. You can see the most popular items/keywords that people are searching for today.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglxR1kIinIkPzFK9-bgjmzP3qegrWMOlDi8I_9ssyES5ar8r3uaT-9LDyXt6X3hxCBwgnwIM3KVYYEZfsaJg7pP7Cd3oPgFMRxWVhDAxt1hRIg3oVHcyNG_nueW08w4LRpNzCWeZvJY22n/s1600/Screen+shot+2014-07-05+at+6.36.33+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglxR1kIinIkPzFK9-bgjmzP3qegrWMOlDi8I_9ssyES5ar8r3uaT-9LDyXt6X3hxCBwgnwIM3KVYYEZfsaJg7pP7Cd3oPgFMRxWVhDAxt1hRIg3oVHcyNG_nueW08w4LRpNzCWeZvJY22n/s1600/Screen+shot+2014-07-05+at+6.36.33+PM.png" height="252" width="400" /></a></div>
4. If you just can't come up with all good keywords consider things such as:<br />
<br />
Holidays---you should start adding these keywords a couple of months in advance.<br />
Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving, Father's Day, Mother's Day, St. Patrick's, The Fourth of July<br />
<br />
Seasons---fall, autumn, summer, spring finds, spring trends, and the lists go on. Find more of these in the treasury.<br />
<br />
You---using your name in some listings will help family members and friends who always forget your business name to find your shop----then again there are the people who only remember your shop name; therefore, I would use your business name as a keyword. . . sometimes. This is not needed on every item. Just on the ones where you have an extra keyword space. Also, if your store name is commonly misspelled then use the misspelling every now and then in order to still catch these searchers. <br />
<br />
Sometimes you can even get a buyer with a tag like---- gifts under 20, gifts under 10, gifts for mom, cheap birthday gifts, housewarming, bridal shower, wedding present, wedding gift, wedding decor, shower decor<br />
<br />
Misspellings--- Go to Etsy and search "swimsuit" vs "swim suit" vs "swimsuite" vs "swim suite". Maybe only 29 items come up on one of the searches, but maybe just maybe 2000 people search under that misspelling per month. This would give you a huge advantage! <br />
<br />
<br />
Top places in your shop that Google will crawl(and you need to have good search terms):<br />
1. Shop announcement and the section right above(see below under #5 "Fill Out Your Info")<br />
2. Item titles<br />
3. Item keywords<br />

This one is much better. The background is simple, and the object is clear. I put the photos into my photo editor, and I only adjust the exposure. Surprisingly, I found that the photos seem to look best when adjusted more than you would think. Just play with it and see what happens!<br />

2. Use a light box when possible. Super simple to make.<br />
A. Cut a square in the left and right sides of a box.<br />
B. Cover the holes with a piece of tissue paper.<br />
C. Put a clamp light on each side.<br />
D. Cut a piece of white poster board and slide it in. Do not bend the back edge. You want <br />
the poster board to be curved in order to create that limitless background effect. <br />

This includes how you hold yourself in places such as the forums. Sometimes tempers will flare. Do not let go of the fact that even though you're in a 300 sq ft studio apartment on your laptop, you're still a business owner.

<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"> a. If your customer feels like they received a present then they are likely to want to order from you again. A couple of months ago I received a package from an Etsy seller who was very big on over packaging so that the item would not break. She would not even 2 day priority box send it as I requested(which angered me because she said she would). When I got the item it was not broken; however, the plates were not clean, and there was hair in the the tape! Really?!? After your fit about it not breaking you send it to me dirty with your hair stuck in the tape. Very unprofessional. I will not order from her again. </span></span></span></span></div>

As for smells, I don't mean spray your stinky strong perfume on them just make sure they don't stink. Sometimes you can't smell your own home. I've received a package that reeked of curry. Curry is good in the Thai food restaurant but not on my item I just received in the mail. Also, if you smoke do not do it around the package. Do not smoke in the car on the way to the post office, and wash your hands before touching the package. Some people are very sensitive to the smells. Sometimes I believe this is the truck driver smoking which unfortunately we can do nothing about. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

I have everything from small bubble mailers to large boxes. Most of my packaging materials are recycled. There is a small food distribution office in town that gives me all of their boxes, bubble wrap, Styrofoam, and so on. You can also get great packing boxes from local liquor stores, grocery stores, restaurants, etc. If you do not have someone to donate bubbles and whatnot to you then local packaging supply companies may be a good fit. I do NOT recommend places such as Office Depot, UHaul, or FedEx for packaging supplies. They are outrageously expensive! You'll go broke just from shipping, or nobody will buy from you because your shipping is too expensive. Please see the sidebar where you can find some Amazon links for items such as the baker's twine I use, craft paper for wrapping, and bubble wrap. I know its hard at first but buy a little in bulk and it's going to save you money and headaches in the long run. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

Sometimes impossible to replace and sometimes just a major pain in the a$$. Would you rather spend a couple more dollars on packaging or possibly have to resend the broken item?!? You don't feel so bad about using extra peanuts when they are recycled. I also add a card to the front of my packages that states "Our company is dedicated to being as green as possible. This is why you will find your items shipped with reused supplies. 100% of our boxes, bubble wrap, and Styrofoam are recycled". I also include this in my shop policies. (This does not count the flat rate boxes that we occasionally use)</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

There are fantastic flat rate shipping boxes which are great for heavy items. There are basically 5 standard boxes, and each has its own price. They are two day shippers that come standard with $50 insurance. If these don't work for you then you should get a scale(I have a super cool vintage meat scale), and calculate shipping prices on USPS. I weigh my items, go to the USPS calculator, and estimate shipping from my zip code to one that is very far from me. I then use this information in 1lb increments and create Etsy shipping profiles for them(don't forget that your packaging supplies will add to the weight). </span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

You'll get all excited. Might even get 500 views on an items, and then you'll have comedown withdraws when it doesn't sell. Remember, these are not quality views. You put something pretty in front of someone, they clicked on it, and then they bounce to something else pretty. You need that person who is going to Google and searching for that red and black mid-century modern dish set to give to their mother on her birthday. THAT'S THE CUSTOMER YOU NEED!

<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"> Follow the rules. Etsy will close down your shop if you don't.

<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"> Make a schedule. Set aside time to work on it. Its easy to get lazy when you work for yourself.</span></span></span></span></span></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"> Make a seperate bank account so that you can see what you have spent and what you have made.

<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"> Go get your tax numbers. Its free and easy(I'm about to do mine). You do it online, and then you can tell all your friends that you're a REAL business! Besides, if you have between 50-75 sells in a year Etsy will make you do it anyways. </span></span></span></span></span></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"> It would have been much easier if I would have known all of this information before I set up my shop. Now I have to go back and change things. . . photos, announcement, etc. This may seem like a lot of work, but it will save you more time then you will every know. Literally. Once you get the hang of it it gets easier and faster. <span style="color: #cc0000;">If you have a sell in the first month or two you're doing a good job! The first ones are hard! Keep at it!</span> </span></span></span></span></span></h2>
