YES! I was aa mid-6 figure / year shop...and it has been horrendous...

[lordgains]

I noticed my sales slowed down mid July! I went from making 2+ sales a day to 1 or 2 every other day its so annoying how etsy change things behind the scenes

[vinnart]

Yes huge decrease last few months. Adding new types of products really isn't for me as I'm selling my art most of which I print myself. I've tried print to order partners, but never sold much of it and am deciding to cut back on those items since they aren't selling.

We have been selling on etsy for 10 years and over 18 months sales dropped 82%😢

Hi, thank you it was helpful but
I have a question, i am in afghanistan and want to sell and ship handmade items from afghanistan, but payment is not availible in afghanistan, can my uncle in norway set up an etsy account for me and i do the listings and others. And isnt that a problem to log in from two different locations?
Thanks.

I’ve had an art and jewelry shop for years and only made actual $$$ money when Etsy asked us to make face masks. My sales are low, maybe one every two to three months. I’ve tried all the advice and still can’t get any real traction 🤷🏼‍♀️

Great content, Dylan! Hope to see more videos like shop audits or some similar with those when you'll give a listing a hole new optimise description. Those really have a great value. Thanks!

[jessicameisner]

These are concrete useful ideas. I'm adding Next day shipping to all of my products to see if that pushes more sales. I have a feeling it will.

THANK YOU SO VERY VERY MUCH FOR TAKING TIME TO BE CONCERNED AND TAKING TIME TO TEACH
Sincerely, JAHLITE

Thanks for another great video! I would love if you would talk about Etsy shops with perishable items like perennials which I sell. Plants are under the supply category and can be labor intensive and you want a quick turnover which is hard in warmer months. Plants can be very seasonal. How to have more consistent sales and a fast turnover?

[sumairaahmed]

Hi. How can I get in touch. I'm a few Etsy shop owner and would love some feedback and advice if psosible

[terri]

Thank you for the info. I'm not a huge Etsy seller ($27K last year) but I did see a significant drop-off in sales starting in June. I'll be lucky to break half that this year. I've been wondering what is going on to cause such a big change in my sales. Thanks again.

Hi Dylan, l have just started my Etsy shop this month focusing on seamless floral designed products. But with your information wow looks like I came at an interesting time, both in the post- Pandemic course correction of E Shoppers evening out and also right at a time where AI art + Print on Demand is taking off and making designs very easy to use.

Looks like (being that rookie starting out) my broad priorities right now in 2023 are to~ adapt and try to focus on the most prolific buyer's needs and acclimate to new trends (combining with your advise from earlier vids) and being a rookie, not try to duplicate those shops that are making gang busters but instead find an untapped niche with high demand and exploit it (after optimizing the SEA keywords and stack the shop professionally of course) ~ while making use of the summer slump. Try to find local partners to cut down overhead and get an edge in speed and delivery. Then hopefully make enough that will reap a number of sales for Q4.

Does this sound like a sound strategy? Sorry if this is too lengthy to read. I'm currently studying as much as I can about Etsy and Shopify atm.

[Namearts]

I've had 58 sales till now this month

[drgandalf]

Hi Dylan. Have you come across POD partners who make customisable (like KDP) style notepads that are glue bound at the top to tear away easily?

Can't find any

[itz_chloe]

Love all your videos Dylan, they have really helped me grow my business on etsy effortlessly!
