How to Rank Higher on Etsy and Show Up in Search Results (Etsy SEO Tutorial)

[@Kayetheriel]

Excellent video, really helpful! I was wondering would you be able to make a video on creating shop policies for an Etsy shop. I'm quite confused what I should take into consideration.

[@brandontimothy]

Glad you like the video! In regards to shop policies, it really depends on what type of product you’re selling and what policy works for you as an individual. But I’ll try to make a video on this in the future soon :)

[@frederickwillemssens1150]

Hi Brandon, maybe not really related with your video here, but would it be possible to share your gearlist with all the gear (camera, lighting equipment,...) you use to create your videos? Thanks :-)

[@brandontimothy]

Happy to share. I just use my iPhone to film, and I use DJI wireless mic for recording :) that’s it!

[@ChristinaJohnStarinkFekete]

Should you only put high scoring listings in ads?

[@coffeewithsteph]

Hi Brandon, love your videos! I'm currently in the research phase of my digital Etsy shop and have a question. How will my location affect my sales? I'm in South Africa but would like a global reach. Can I use Pinterest and my blog to market my Etsy products (because most of my readers/viewers are American)?

[@brandontimothy]

Hey there! Your location won't really impact your Etsy shop's success. Etsy provides a global marketplace, so you can reach customers worldwide regardless of your location. As for leveraging social media, I suggest promoting your Etsy products once you've gained some success organically on the platform. Focus on Etsy first to build a strong foundation.

[@coffeewithsteph]

@@brandontimothy Thank you for the advice!

[@entropicmomathome]

How do you explain this: I used to rank very high about a year ago, now my shop barely appears in search results, the ones that appear don't even follow SEO rules.

[@keiths.197]

Thank you so much for the SEO knowledge you dropped in this video! It's truly appreciated 😀

[@brandontimothy]

My pleasure!

[@CrackerDip]

None of my listings seem to get any views, maybe 1 every 2 weeks. I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Did a full SEO research short tail and long tale, extremely relatable but it isn't doing anything. It's been 5 months now.

hi Brandon ,which is better to sell in etsy to have more profit it is POD products or digital products?

[@brandontimothy]

From my experience, my digital product shops usually bring in higher profits on Etsy compared to my POD shops. Digital items cost less to create and can be sold multiple times without extra manufacturing or shipping costs. But it depends on your niche and how you attract customers.

[@sleepydazex]

Hi Brandon, is it really true that you need to buy a new portable internet to start your second shop since your first shop might get suspended? Would love your thoughts with this. 😊

[@brandontimothy]

Not true, you can open multiple shops from the same computer and internet! But if you had a previous shop that was suspended, then it might be a good idea to use a different IP address when launching the shop

[@sleepydazex]

@@brandontimothy thanks for the input! 🥰 did you experience having a suspended shop or all your shops have the same IP address?

[@Bebangggg]

​​@@brandontimothyit is okay to use the same bank account in your second shop?

[@haraseeskaur3049]

Hey, I really love your content. I just wanted to ask you that is it a good idea to open an etsy shop and sell journals, planners, self lists, affirmation cards on personal development niche? What do you suggest?

[@brandontimothy]

I'd suggest doing some market research to understand the demand for these products and the competition on Etsy.

[@patrick3122]

Hi Brandon, thank your for your helpful videos! Just one question to digital wall art. What quality donyou recommend here? Is 300 dpi enough or should it be more?

[@brandontimothy]

300 dpi is enough. 🙂

Thank you for watching!

[@mandyzhen1346]

Hi Brandon! Do we need to create an LLC to start selling digital products on ETSY? thank you!

[@brandontimothy]

For many Etsy sellers, especially starting, operating as an individual without forming a separate legal entity is common.

[@precymartin997]

Hi Brandon! Can I ask you? What digital product a you are selling?

[@brandontimothy]

I have multiple shops. I sell templates and printables.

[@precymartin997]

@@brandontimothy can you make a video that gives sample SEO you use when you are listing your products in etsy??

[@shaikhsaqlain8953]

I am having 1 shop where i sell all types of Plr contents, now want to open another shop for real estate Plr content. Is it fine having 2 shops selling Plr content but different niche

[@brandontimothy]

Yes, it's totally okay to have two shops selling PLR content in different niches. It can help you better serve your customers by focusing on their specific interests. Go for it!

[@abdulazizaiman2084]

i want to ask your opinion, do you think etsy is still relevance nowadays on 2024 ?

[@brandontimothy]

Of course! Etsy has over 90 million active buyers and remain strong in 2024. Personally, I still get many sales from selling digital products on Etsy from the shops I built years ago and a few months ago.

hello is this the only platform in the world that asks you to pay them to list a product?

[@brandontimothy]

Hello! No, Etsy is not the only platform that charges fees for listing products. Many online marketplaces, also require sellers to pay fees for listing items. These fees help cover the costs of running the platform and reaching a large audience of potential buyers.

[@cgc2300]

@brandontimothy yes all place brands take a percentage of sales but Amazon and eBay... don't ask me to pay them when I want to make a listing Etsy asks 20 cents per listing?

[@cgc2300]

there is eBay which charges for listings but it is after a hundred listings Etsy only offers around ten listings, is it free?

Dejé de mirar en cuanto escuche todas esas mentiras de que te dedicaste a viajar de mochilero por el mundo y que en dos meses ya tu tienda funcionaba....eso es engañar a la gente, ninguna tienda funciona en 2 meses a menos de que haya una gran inversión en SEO o tengas un producto rompedor. Estos son los videos que hacen daño a la gente, se creen que sus vidas serán maravilllosas ganando mucho dinero con poco esfuerzo.
