So, you haven't been getting any sales. That's a bummer. But, I may have an answer for you. You probably need to update or work on your SEO. That stands for Search Engine Optimization. And you need it to be able to sell online and be found. Last time I checked, there were 31,239,681 items on etsy. That's a lot. I can't even imagine how you would be found on etsy without SEO. So Here is where I come in. Here are some tips on SEO.
1. No one word tags. There are so many items on etsy that have tags such as "blue" or "shirt". These are horrible tags. They won't get you found. I am not looking for a shirt, I'm looking for that "retro lavender button up shirt". I don't want the color blue, I want a "blue quote mug". Use descriptive tags.
2. No cutesy titles. I see so many listings that the titles are "Gorgeous Blue Earrings". No. I know you items are gorgeous, but you could get a potential customer with those 8 letters.
3. Use descriptive titles. I won't search "beautiful red white and blue beanie". Use titles such as Rainbow beanie, rainbow hat, beanie, red and white beanie, winter hat, teenage hat, crochet tri-color beanie etc.
4. Repeat your title keywords in your tags. You have 13 tags, so use your keywords in your title and tags.
5. Use all 13 tags. I can't stress this enough. If you only use 3 tags, how are people to find you? All of your buyers won't search with the same keywords!
6. Use the etsy search bar as a keyword guide. Pretend that you are going to look up the item you are selling. So I would type "Gold Hair Bow" and see what the suggestions are. If they relate to your item, use it in your title and tags. These are the most popular keywords! You can also do this with google and other search engines.
I hope these 6 simple SEO tricks will get you get more views, favorites and sales! Be sure to sign up for my newsletter to be notified when I put up a new post. Thanks! Comment below if this helped you!
