This is really clear and really useful information, and the illustrations are fantastic.

High quality gold!

Great video! What are the effects of adding comma's in your title between keywords? Is Etsy still able to broad match you with two words together seperated by a comma for example? I understand it breaks the exact match for those two words combined, but does it also break the broad match?

A good lecture that will benefit all who have followed this excellent explanation.

My shop has done ASTOUNDINGLY badly in just over a years time (I have made four sales). Should I just make a new shop and start over?

[JoanneHastie]

I appreciate this advice! I definitely made that mistake when I switched from print on demand to printing myself with my fancy brand new art printer I updated ALL my listings and lost my Etsy Best Seller designation. OUCH. It definitely hurt sales which felt extra impactful when my new printer was waiting for product orders.

Question about Etsy ads... I currently max out my ad spend (based on advice from another seller), but Etsy only ever uses 5-10% of the daily spend. When I lower it to half (still not fully used by Etsy) or even just 5-10% (the usual spend), my sales go down. Any tips on optimizing ad spend?

Great Video! You answered a ton of questions!!

Great video, Starla! Thanks for sharing. I have started following your channel recently and it has been a great resource on my Etsy journey. Can you also please share your views on how should we use keywords for multiple listings in the same category - like I some 40+ listings in printable birthday cards category - do I use the same tags (incl. focus keywords) for all the 40 listings or do I use completely different 13 tags for each listing? Thanks!

Starla, how important is alt-text in the photos? Thanks

[miccadenning]

Should I use breaks in my listing title? Like commas?

Etsy seo is simple, anything that have sold regardless of crappy titles, tags, descriptions, shop info will be shoved into customers eyes regardless what they search for..

[MrsMansir]

I’ve got a question for you. I started a print on demand jewelry shop, I’ve had a few sales, but I have decided to completely switch gears. I’m going to hand make items and put them into gift baskets. Would it make sense to start a brand new shop from scratch, or transition my current shop. For context, I have about 10 sales, so nothing major.

[rdroidbuilder]

Speaking of SEO, not really, could you address whether or not you should publicly reply to a great review? Or bad?

[beckyjostarnes]

Thank you for your help. I have one comment, can you slow the pace just a bit!

[malvinasvideos]

Amazing video as always, thank you! I have a question regarding starting a new shop. I have an idea for a new business, and I also have an old shop open on Etsy that I used a year ago, and then 'abandoned' because I didn't have time for it. Now for my new idea, would it be OK to rebrand the existing shop I already have, delete old listings, change logo/shop info etc, or would you recommend opening a brand new shop? Thank you :)

[robbiewillis]

If I have listings that haven’t sold for a couple of months. Should have just update the listing seo or should I create new ones? 🙏

[ems]

Yeah! So informative. Thank you!❤ If I updated my listing photos, pricing, & description and still getting 0 views, how long should you wait (after you made these updates) to change either the tags or title? After 1 day? 5 days? 90 days? 😵‍💫 I’m not using ads for this listing whether this makes a difference.

[Vintagerous]

What about copying a sold listing? I’ve heard that we shouldn’t do that if someone has something in their cart and that has sold and then you copy that listing they’ll be confused when there’s something new there.
