Here are the lessons I’ve learned from doing business on Etsy over the past 6 years.

I’ve listed these below:

  • High-quality images help increase the click-through rate on products.
  • Offering free shipping for products over $35 is effective in certain niches.
  • Always activate coupons to stimulate purchasing.
  • Sometimes, the price of the product is not as important as the product images.
  • Running ads as early as possible is advisable.
  • Selling bundled products for digital files can be beneficial.
  • Uploading 3–5 listings and maintaining consistency daily is highly effective.
  • Uploading products a month and a half to two months before holidays yields the best results.
  • SEO for listings is important, but improving the product is even more crucial.
  • Responding to customer messages frequently helps build customer loyalty.
  • Inheriting successful product characteristics is better than reinventing the wheel.
  • Drawing traffic from social media through customer feedback is more effective than spamming links.-
  • Reusing successful product titles is more effective than trying to create new keywords.
  • Renewing products every few days, a few times, before eventually discontinuing them has been my strategy.

Each failure doesn’t diminish the value of a person, but rather presents an opportunity to accumulate experience
