I have been selling my metal furniture, jewelry and trees on Etsy since 2007. I have been there and done that and I am still selling! (my shop) Through the years I have learned first-hand how to market my shop. I have also been writing about selling on Etsy since 2008 and coaching Etsy sellers in every niche imaginable. I am the owner and chief editor of Handmadeology and the author of How to Make Money Using Etsy. The following 10 tips for selling on Etsy will help you understand what it takes to become successful on Etsy.
1. There is No “Magic Etsy” Button
My number one tip that I tell new Etsy sellers, is to remember that Etsy is not magic. Just throwing up a bunch of 20 cent listings with no business plan will not bring you the success you are looking for. If you treat your Etsy business like a hobby you will reap hobby money, but if you treat it like a real business you will bring in the money you are striving for . Remember, you reap what you sow.
Here are few articles to make you think and inspire you during your creative business journey:

2. Product Photography
Product Photography should be number one or at least high up on your list when it comes to running your Etsy business. Without shoppers being able to touch and handle your items, your pictures need to be the best they can be. Detailed, clean, clear, not too dark, and from different angles. After a shopper looks at all 5 pictures they should feel like they have picked up the item and looked it over and are ready to take it to the cash register and buy!

3. Know Your Product (pricing)
I remember when I listed my very first item on Etsy…I was clueless about pricing. There are many factors that come into play when pricing your items, so knowing your product is crucial. You need to know how much it costs to make your item, how much time you spend making it, and how much it costs to ship. These are just a few things to keep in mind when filling out the price section of your listing.
In pricing articles below, you will find in-depth tips that will help you get the most for your handmade items.

4. Build Your Brand
Standing out in the crowd of Etsy sellers can be a difficult task. You should have a clear vision of what you want your brand to be and stick with it. Doing your research on how to build a strong and long-lasting brand should be high up on your to-do list!
Here are a number of articles that talk about brand for creative business owners.

5. Understand Your Market
Knowing who your target market is is key when it comes to selling online.
Here are some questions to get you started:
Are your target customers male or female?• How old are they?• Where do they live?• Is geography a limiting factor for any reason?• What do they do for a living?• How much money do they make? This is most significant if you’re selling relatively expensive or luxury items.
Example of a Target Market
This is my target market: Women, over 30, median income of $60,000, single or married, college-educated, urban, professional, but quirky…
What is your niche market? How do you reach it?
6. Understanding SEO is a Must!
SEO is sometimes difficult to understand, but it is vital to the growth of your creative business.
Getting your Etsy Shop and Etsy items found on Google can be a difficult task, but with the proper research and placement of specific keywords, you can begin to dominate small niches and move up in the Google search. There are a few things you need to keep in mind when you are looking for keywords to use.
When looking for keywords and phrases, shopper intent, search volume, and keyword competition are the 3 most important factors that determine a good key word.
Shopper Intent First — The most important factor to look at when figuring out the value of a keyword or phrase is intent. When picking a good keyword to analyze, pick words or phrases that people interested in your items would search for. You know your product best. Once you determine what these words and phrases are, use the Google Keyword tool to find more suggested words and analyze them to see if they are worthy of using. I will explain more about this later in this article.
Volume Second — When determining the value of a keyword or phrase, you need to look at the search volume. Are there enough people searching per month for a term on Google to even consider optimizing for it? (The Google Keyword tool provides this info for you). If you answered yes, then you have to ask yourself if it is possible to rank for that keyword? It will be extremely difficult to rank on Google for a high volume term such as ‘garland,’ but easier to rank on Google for lower competition, small niche, 2-3 word phrases such as “paper garland”.
Keyword Competition Third – A key word can have a high search volume on Google, but that does not mean it is a good key word or phrase. You have to know how many competing pages there are according to Google and the competition on Etsy. These two factors can help you determine if you want to use a key phrase or not. I will also cover more about this later in the article.
Small Niches Always- Why would you want to focus on a small niche? Smaller niches are searched less on Google every month, but they also have less competition. The smaller amount of competing pages, the better the chance your shop will rank on Google for a particular keyword.

7. Optimizing Your Shop for Etsy Relevancy
By now most Etsy sellers have heard about the Etsy relevancy search change. When I cruise the Etsy forums, team discussions, Facebook fan pages, comments on Handmadeology, and my inbox, a common theme seems to pop up over and over. Sellers are trying to understand what the changes to the Etsy default search mean, and how they can make the correct changes to get the most traffic that leads to sales. Etsy Relevancy optimization and SEO go hand in hand. Google is also set up as a relevancy search, setting up proper SEO from the start will optimize your shop for Etsy relevancy.
The Handmadeology team has put together a FREE package that will help every Etsy seller understand what the new Etsy search is all about. The Etsy Relevancy Breakdown walks you through every thing that has changed when the search default was changed to relevancy. In this report you will also find helpful tips which will set you on the right path to increasing your views and getting more sales. Also in this package you will get a 12 point checklist that will help keep you on track when you are listing new items and optimizing your shop for the Etsy search and Google.
8. Social Media Marketing
As you know, I am a huge advocate of social media marketing. Marketing my Etsy shop on Facebook and Twitter have greatly increased my visibility and grown my customer base. Getting new potential buyers to view your work is only part of the equation…building relationships with your customers is the other part! Social media makes connection with customers easier.
Being an Etsy seller, I know how hard it is to get any views from just listing your items on Etsy. Marketing your Etsy items outside Etsy is a must these days. I am excited to share this free e-course with Etsy sellers, because I have been using these 10 steps for years and I have seen great results. I have increased my traffic to my blog and Etsy shop, moved up in the Google ranking, and have even seen my customer base grow.
Connecting your Etsy shop with Facebook and Twitter is only one piece to the social media puzzle. Check out this huge list of social media marketing tips for Etsy sellers: Make the Connection
If you are ready to learn how to decrease the amount of time you spend promoting your Etsy items and at the same time maximize your results, the Holiday Rush Etsy Marketing Formula 5-day FREE e-course is just for you! This course has been taken by over 3,000 Etsy sellers and is simple to understand and implement.
If you have not already noticed, all four steps in this marketing plan are free. Yes they are going to take time to build and get right, but in the end, you are going to build a business doing what you love. There is no “easy button”, but if you let your passion shine through, you will succeed!

9. Guest Posting
The handmade movement is accelerating at a fast pace. Hundreds of thousands of people are signing up for Etsy every month, and it is getting more difficult to get recognized. One way to increase your network, get more recognition, expand more exposure, contribute to the handmade community, and build back links is to write guest articles for blogs. Lets break down the five main reasons you should be writing guest articles.
Increase your network:
When you are writing for other blogs in the handmade community, you have the opportunity to meet other like-minded people. Let’s face it…we all need to make connections and hang around people with whom we have things in common. Do you belong to an Etsy team? Do you join groups and Fan pages on Facebook? Putting your heads together helps everyone get things done faster and in the long run, can improve your business.
Get More Recognition:
A little recognition goes a long way, and writing for other blogs in the handmade scene can increase it greatly. Just by writing articles for other blogs, readers understand that the blog publishing your article sees you as an expert in the topic you are writing about. The more you write the more your recognition will build.
Expand Your Exposure:
By writing on more blogs and websites you will reach different audiences and expand who sees your brand. By writing guest articles, you are building a permanent brand that can bring you more traffic and sales.
Contribute To The Handmade Community:
We all have learned one or many things from blogs in the handmade community. Guest writing helps you give back and contribute to the handmade community. From featuring handmade goods to teaching, blog posts help the community in a huge way.
Build Back Links:
When you are guest writing on a blog, you should be given the ability to link back to your blog, Etsy shop, and other sites. You should also be allowed a short bio that you can leave at the end of each article. Back links will help your SEO, especially when they come from well known, relevant blogs.
Did you know you can guest post right here on Handmadeology? Here is all the info you need to get started.
10. Have fun!
My golden rule for my business is…. “The second your creative business becomes a chore and you lose the fun, it’s time to change it up!” Don’t get me wrong, running your own business can have it’s down times, but the beauty of owning your own business is you have the ability to change it up when things get mundane and boring.

You are welcome Mark! Your moccasins are awesome!
Thanks so much for taking the time to compile this awesome list, Timothy!
You bet Kyle!
I agree totally with Mark. I will be saving this in my favorites for sure.
One question though, any tips for the
vintage shops? SEO and the keywords are tough for me. Thank you,
Mary
For vintage items you want to make sure you are telling your potential customers and Google exactally what your item is. At the same time you want to make sure people are searching on a monthly basis for the keywords you are selecting. This can be found out with the Google keyword tool.
Thank you for the tips – so much to learn but I try to soak a little bit up every day – then it starts to become second nature! I will definitely continue to refer back to all these resources!
You are welcome Angela! It will become second nature when you find a pattern and schedule you are comfortable with. Repetition is the key when it comes to branding, building your seo, and marketing.
You always have great articles, and with all the updated changes, you’ve managed to write another great one! Putting everything together that is up to date and very relevant is so helpful and reassuring.
Thanks again, Tim!
Thanks Rachel….. sometimes it is tough to keep up to date with all the changes that are happening on Etsy and other sites.. I am glad you are finding this post helpful!
Hey Adam!
I’m totally with you! Etsy brings in lot of changes and it becomes really dofficult to adapt yourself and also the business to all of those.
You may want to check-out Storemate.com and Artfire.com as good alternatives.
If you want something different try out storemate.com, I registered on storemate.com and seen some sharp increase in the traffic directed to my website.
Unlike Etsy and Artfire they are not restricted to handmade stuff. I get to promote to a bigger audience (all design buffs)
Their “Talk-About” feature has got me more connected to my customers where I help them with custom options, shipping queries in realtime. I surprise my customers with exclusive discounts during these sessions and that returned heavy sales and followers.
Aaand…bookmarked! Thanks for a fantastic article!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience. Looking forward to reading all the links at length and applying the good information to our own shop!
Mike and Linda
There is a wealth (pun intended!!) of information in this one post, awesome. Thank you so much Tim. The time will come for me when I will be able to devote 40+ hours a week to creating for my business instead of laboring for someone else. I’m patiently learning and accumulating, you are terrific to share your knowledge with hundreds!
Your persistence and hard work will pay off! You are welcome!
Wow! I wish I’d had this a year ago!
Thank you so much for all of the amazing info. You’ve managed to accumulate everything it’s taken me a year to learn and more in one place. I just shared it with a friend who has just opened a shop on Etsy and is new to the community.
Awesome… good luck to your friend and you as well!
When I even think of SEO optimization, my brain hurts. Thank you so much for helping to unravel the mystery of Etsy relevancy.
)
You are welcome Mary Ellen. Take things slow and learn things right.. you will be fine!
I sure do like your article but it is overwhelming and much to read and do. I do want lots of sales and I will follow the directions as much as possible. I’m afraid I am an artist not a tech so most of it bewilders me.
For instance I don’t know were to put the code. I’m selling 2 per mont if that and I can’t afford to keep adding monies. Help
Awesome article Tim, I will bookmark and read the ones I missed.
I know myself I have followed what you have been writing about and my shoppe has taken off tenfold! Thanks bunches!
Really wonderful tips!! thank you for sharing Tim!
Best luck to everyone with the relevancy

Thanks for the great tips. I’m already four months on Etsy and I think that my stuff does not have great competition. But sales are low and I am looking for good tips for promotion.
I have read so many posts regarding the blogger lovers but this piece of writing is really a fastidious post, keep it up.
Hi! I could have sworn I’ve been to this site before but after going through many of the posts I realized it’s new to me.
