Hi Starla! I just noticed one of my listings made the "Best Seller Badge". I am in complete shock and want to thank you for everything. Once I stopped listening to the other coaches and only followed what you, Mark and Pam suggested my shop headed in a direction I never thought was possible. I still have so much work to do in my shop but its headed in the right direction. love you all! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you...❤❤

It's truly hard to find good advice about growing one's etsy shop with so many coaches just regurgitating a lot of information. Will be looking at more of your advice. Thank so much Starla!

I remember when I heard about the favorite by favorite listing. 😞 unfortunately I didn’t knew any better when I started my shop 2 years ago and I fell into this. I’m glad I found your channel Starla and became an HAA student. You’re teaching me a lot. Thank you!

[BonkersAboutAlice]

Totally agree with these four errors. On-point advice as always fine lady.

[claire.gillis]

What about the advice to duplicate a listing changing the front photo and/ or the seo. Is duplicating the same listing allowed?

[mrs.quills]

So glad you mentioned the like for like bs. When I first started Etsy I got invited into one of those groups after a few weeks I stopped bothering. It was a waste of time and spammy.

Thanks for the tips! I was suspicioius about the personalized page ranking.

[aliciaarroyo]

I need help relaunching my store. I had it off for about 6-8 months. I had one recent order and they gave me a 1 star review with no reason. Now my store shows a 1 star rating. Etsy said they only show star ratings over the past year. So I have over 200 orders with 4-5 star reviews but it looks like my shop has a 1 star rating to any potential customers. I am not even getting traffic to my shop 😔 I have had my estuary since 2012

[StoreytellingTarot]

Awesome advice! For new shops, how often should new listings be posted? I've heard the one listing per day from everyone else on Youtube... interested to know your thoughts for someone who's brand new and trying to build their store. Thank you!

[sabrinatart]

Great advice! Just this week I have seen so many people following add from one of these coaches that is actively telling people to do all these things and charging them $49 a month with the promise of making hugh amounts of $$ every month. Reals them in with the free workshop and a free help info (for 10days) You find out later that they are then charging you $49 a month. So deceptive and then giving bad advice that will hurt the shops . Yeh he has made sales but not in quite some time his self. I hate to see people taken advantage off when they are new and don't have the $$ to waist.

[coriebartley]

Thanks for all of the info as always :)

Very Stoked for the BootCamp, but I have a question re XWalk: what is it and why cant it find small niches?

[bonniebonnie]

You are such a great expert resource! Thank you so much, Starla. xox, Bonnie

Will you be offering a replay of this? I was unable to participate until next week.

I opened my etsy store and immediately got cancelled. This was my 'all in' business solution for this year and now I'm sad searching other marketplaces to sell on that's not so controlling

[jeffkempka]

I have a question about tip number 2 and renewing items. i have all my items renew autmatically (every 3 months or so i think). is this what you are talking and about? and is bad? thanks, jeff

[boticadiosa]

Hey, it's me! Thanks for the shoutout 💞

[Bn]

Thank you Starla! What are your thoughts on copying some or all of a bestseller’s title and tags? I feel like it’s not that simple, especially when you’re a new shop and less established

[dena]

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes 🤣Love it!

[fretwireonfire]

The real question is when is Marc gonna fire up that Kemper and play us some Eruption or Panama through that EVH cab?
