  • Here's why Etsy's traffic so BAD right now! (Fixes Inside)
    Etsy sellers everywhere are freaking out about traffic tanking — but it’s not what you think. I dig into what’s really going on behind the scenes with Etsy traffic right now and how to turn it around fast. I’ll walk you through why recent title changes may have backfired, what Etsy actually said about algorithm updates, and how external factors like buyer behavior and the economy are impacting your sales.   You’ll also learn how to prepare your shop for the upcoming holiday rush — including the best ways to boost visibility, refresh underperforming listings, and create consistent sales momentum. I’ll share actionable tactics like when to shorten your titles, how to structure your weekly listing schedule, and how to leverage both Etsy’s algorithm and external platforms like Pinterest and YouTube to bring in evergreen traffic.   Whether you’re struggling with a sudden drop in traffic or want to maximize November and December sales, this breakdown gives you everything you need to regain momentum and finish the year strong.   #EtsyTips #EtsySEO #EtsyTraffic #EtsySellers #EtsyShopGrowth   Grow faster than 99% of Etsy shops 👇 Steal my $540K shortcut & skip the struggle 👇 👉 https://www.skool.com/etsygamesvip/about   💻Try Alura For Free Here:  https://www.alura.io/?via=LLETSY   📚Etsy SEO Revealed FREE eBook-  Learn and understand Etsy SEO to help you grow your business.  Download it for free here:  https://www.handmadeandbeyond.com/etsyseosuccess   🚀Etsy Quickstart Free Guide-  A quick guide to help you get your Etsy business off the ground.  Download it for free here: https://www.handmadeandbeyond.com/quickstart   Watch These Grow & Improve Your Etsy Business👇 https://youtu.be/J-jysEC-rqs https://youtu.be/XoBckxhk5iw   00:00 What’s Happening With Etsy Traffic 00:01 Why Sellers Are Seeing Sales Drops 00:03 The Title Update Panic 00:04 Why Changing Performing Listings Hurts 00:05 What Etsy Actually Said About Titles 00:07 Real Reason Etsy Traffic Is Down 00:09 How Amazon, eBay, and Etsy Compare 00:10 External Economic Factors Explained 00:12 How To Prepare For The Holiday Surge 00:13 Cyber Week Sale Strategy 00:14 Launching Holiday Products Early 00:15 Listing Consistency & New Product Strategy 00:16 Fixing Underperforming Listings 00:17 Running Promos & Creating Urgency 00:18 Bringing In Your Own Traffic 00:19 Social Media vs Search Engines 00:21 How To Build Evergreen Traffic 00:22 Staying Focused On What You Can Control 00:23 Etsy VIP Program & Final Motivation

  • Etsy Listings Are Now in ChatGPT?! (Here’s How to Show Up)
    Etsy just partnered with OpenAI — and this changes everything. I’ll show you exactly how this integration works, how Etsy listings are now appearing directly in ChatGPT searches, and what you can do to make sure your products are the ones that show up.   We’ll break down how ChatGPT product discovery is reshaping SEO, what “bottom of the funnel” really means for Etsy listings, and how to write titles, tags, and descriptions that ChatGPT actually understands. You’ll see examples of real searches like “motivational shirt” vs. “XL gray lion shirt for the gym” — and how that difference determines who gets the sale.   Then I’ll walk you through my proven Etsy ChatGPT SEO Guide — including optimized title and tag strategies, long-tail keyword examples, and a plug-and-play description template built to dominate AI-powered search.   By the end, you’ll know how to: ✅ Get your Etsy listings shown directly in ChatGPT results ✅ Write bottom-of-funnel listings that convert buyers faster ✅ Structure your descriptions for AI visibility and real-world sales ✅ Use attributes and tags the right way for better exposure   #EtsySEO #ChatGPTforBusiness #EtsyTips #EcommerceMarketing #AISEO   Grow faster than 99% of Etsy shops 👇 Steal my $540K shortcut & skip the struggle 👇 👉 https://www.skool.com/etsygamesvip/about   💻Try Alura For Free Here:  https://www.alura.io/?via=LLETSY   📚Etsy SEO Revealed FREE eBook-  Learn and understand Etsy SEO to help you grow your business.  Download it for free here:  https://www.handmadeandbeyond.com/etsyseosuccess   🚀Etsy Quickstart Free Guide-  A quick guide to help you get your Etsy business off the ground.  Download it for free here: https://www.handmadeandbeyond.com/quickstart   Watch These Grow & Improve Your Etsy Business👇 https://youtu.be/J-jysEC-rqs https://youtu.be/XoBckxhk5iw

  • This 3-Step Pinterest System Exploded My Etsy Shop Growth
    Here’s how I turn Pinterest into an Etsy sales engine—fast. I start with the big mindset shifts (Pinterest is a visual search engine, not social), then show how to get discovered with the right keywords, “savable” pins, and simple videos. I cover the Etsy mistakes that quietly kill reach (pinning straight from Etsy, weak links, seasonal timing), why claiming a domain boosts distribution, and what to post (process clips, styled shots, comparisons). I wrap with a practical cadence you can maintain, when to consider Tailwind, and how to prep for holiday spikes without burning out.   What you’ll learn • Strategy that still works in 2025 (and what changed since 2020) • Pinterest vs. Etsy SEO (and how to pick keywords that rank) • “Saves-first” content that converts later • Exactly what to post: product shots, behind-the-scenes, quick demos, lifestyle, short video • Claiming your site, linking the right URL, naming boards to index faster • Seasonal timing (start in August for Q4), organic before ads, sustainable posting cadence   #Etsy #PinterestMarketing #EtsySEO #EcommerceTips #SmallBusiness #PinterestTips     Grow faster than 99% of Etsy shops 👇 Steal my $540K shortcut & skip the struggle 👇 👉 https://www.skool.com/etsygamesvip/about   💻Try Alura For Free Here:  https://www.alura.io/?via=LLETSY   📚Etsy SEO Revealed FREE eBook-  Learn and understand Etsy SEO to help you grow your business.  Download it for free here:  https://www.handmadeandbeyond.com/etsyseosuccess   🚀Etsy Quickstart Free Guide-  A quick guide to help you get your Etsy business off the ground.  Download it for free here: https://www.handmadeandbeyond.com/quickstart   Watch These Grow & Improve Your Etsy Business👇 https://youtu.be/J-jysEC-rqs https://youtu.be/XoBckxhk5iw
