I'm an established Etsy seller, holding star status, and I recently launched another shop in September. Currently, this shop is maintaining a solid average of 25-50 sales per day
With a focus on digital products, my advice is to pick a niche aligned with your interests. This not only makes it easier to compete but also helps in understanding and connecting with your target audience. Much like Google, Etsy operates on an algorithmic system, emphasizing the importance of optimizing tags, keywords, and related aspects. Once your listings are optimized, consider strategically launching ads on select items. Analyze the results, make necessary adjustments, and repeat this process for continued success.
When it comes to $$$. The niches worth getting into are the one where the top sellers work together to ensure listing prices stay at prices that will allow for profitability as you will find that many sellers in certain niches often undercut each other, cutting profit out of the equation.
