You have definitely encouraged me! Love your channel. It is motivation and goals. ❣️

[@AngelaJasmina]

I'm so glad!

[@HHperkinsCo]

I've noticed that with my shop. I ran ads at $2 a day for months and would up it to $5 over the weekend. Our ETSY orders on Saturday-Monday are always the highest. We had 60 orders in January and only 8 of them were from ads. I turned them off on Monday after getting 0 orders on $6 in ads spend. We've got 8 orders since I turned them off in the past 3 days. I think weekend ads are the way to go. Love the channel, great vids!

[@Red-fg9qr]

Ooooh! First time I watch your channel, i love your machines on the back! :D

[@natalien.9528]

To be fair to etsy, I had a phone call with an employee once and she told me it takes 1-2 weeks for the ads algorythm to figure out whom to show your ads so you get sales. So if you dont get enough sales the first week, maybe don't stop the adds, just switch up the items that didnt work at all and give it another week or two.

[@mokhtarnasseri9096]

From my knowledge of machine learning and advertising in general. You have to let the ads run for at least 1 full month because in (simple term) Etsy is learning what type of buyers are buying your products and they will match more and more your products to those customers and so on... If you need to know more let me know !

[@robakhh]

I’d love to know more

[@merihera9456]

I want to know. thank you

[@samuellanda7701]

Etsy probably already knows the type of ppl they need to traffic to her since shes been selling on it and already uses the ads

You are doing so well! I really liked this video, shows a bit of the inner workings of ETSY ads! I just started my shop so I am not ready for any ads yet, something to strive for in the future!

[@madelinecadieux7636]

I also started my shop recently I didn't do ads until a week or two in because I was getting like 3 visitors and no sales. Now I am doing ads and I am getting a few sales. However, I'm pretty much breaking even/losing money (I sell digital products so..they're cheaper). It's kind of frustrating because I feel like as a new shop the odds are stacked against you since the algorithm won't put you anywhere near the front unless you a) are getting sales/ favourites or b) getting traffic to start with. I don't know if you've had the same experiences but ahhh being a new seller definitely takes patience!!

[@allisonwise3856]

@@madelinecadieux7636 I have been making embroidered things for my nurse friends and decided to open an Etsy shop for more exposure, and more sales. I don’t really want to be a nurse anymore! 🤣 I might put $5 into ads and see if it helps a little bit. I pretty much sell to the traffic I drive to Etsy from social media. Angelina inspired me to get a bigger machine! So here we go!! I am slightly tempted to take her tutorial on setting up an Etsy shop that she sells..... maybe I am missing something!!

[@imagecollections6665]

Tried Etsy ads...they don't really work & I've ALWAYS lost money even at Xmas...& I sell about $120k a year on Etsy.

[@muslimcosmetics]

I run a cosmetics business. I am convinced Etsy will use up all the ad budget and then give you 1 sale. The value just isn't there for me. I have only ever turned my ads on on the weekend, kept it till I got a sale and then turned it off. This is because the first time I did ads, I did have it at $50. I got 2 sales first day, 1 sale the second day. It didn't even make my whole budget. However the next 4 days after that, it just kept using and using till the money I made from the sales was all gone. I did the same thing again few weeks later and the same thing happened. I also sell on Amazon, Amazon ads are pointless to the max. I already get organic sales daily, the ads just took away my money and gave me nothing. So to me, I think ads are not something I would want to waste my money on. Lucky you get so much money on your business though.

[@Loveniaxo]

Thank you. This was a great video. I am currently testing out facebook ads. I feel like $50 a day on facebook may be more powerful.

[@tammysoutherland1405]

Sending Blessings your way🤗

[@edietenbroek7426]

We have learned that you have to let it ride for a couple of weeks to let the algorithm learn the best times to show your items.

[@DelmarBD]

I think you also have to consider/compare/analyze the total number of sales you get when you have ads vs when you don't. In other words, I have found I have up to 50% of my sales come from ads when I run them. But the total number of sales I get when I run ads vs when I don't is about the same. Maybe 2 or 3 more but nowhere near enough. Which means the customer that clicked in your ad would have found your item anyway. I think it's a good strategy when your views are low for a particular item and you have multiples of that item) and you want to get that initial boost in sales to rank that item higher until it can stand on its own.

[@candacemoore7305]

Is it better to only advertise certain listings rather than all of your active lisitngs? And if I'm running out of my ads budget before the end of the day should I consider raising it?

[@sandramc9903]

I really liked your video and you have just inspired me to make my first week add, i will start with $20 per day for a week and lets´s see. Previosly i made SEO on all the announcements.

Sound is GOOD.

[@DragonclawMakerStudio]

Just curious how you decided the items to add to your promotion. I think you said quick-sale items, but I was wondering if you took profit margin into account too? For example if you paid $50 for an ad and sold $100 of items, but it cost you $50 in supplies, material, and labor, you just broke even. Just curious if you looked at profit margin. I noticed your campaign was in late December - do you think the seasonality had any affect on your sales? Also, on your $385 day, assuming you take out materials and labor, how much was Etsy fees from that day? ~ Business Analytics Professor by Day - Crafter by Night. P.S. Great video, I am teaching a unit on online retail analytics right now.

[@user-ic5sy6uc3r]

i just started my shop a few months ago and surprisingly i got about 49 sales. once a lot of my new products comes in i plan on trying out the ads since my views are pretty low. it’s honestly surprising that i got the orders i got with like less than 100 views on majority of my product. it’s scary doing the $25-$50 a day but it seems to have nice benefits. i’ll start slowly tho

[@nathananspach1739]

I’m starting out doing like 5$ a day and within 3 days I’ve had about 1200 views you don’t have to go straight to 25-50$ you can choose what amount u want to spend

I'm not sure the period you ran this experiment over was representative since it was the new year holiday. But so interesting to see your results.

[@kaybs9913]

I’ve noticed that the ads on Etsy do not meet my search parameters. If I search something and would like it to be listed low to high price and free shipping to US they should be tailoring those ads to she at least free shipping! It’s aggravating I click on those ads and end up clicking off because I’d have to pay high shipping!

I have just placed an order for my embroidery machine Brother PR670E, 6 needle machine. I want to make embroidered hoodies and sweatshirts. I am hoping to use ads to boost my visibility and sales.

Could the sales later on that say they weren't from ads could have been because people could have viewed from ads and purchased at a later date? Or does etsy know who's clickes and saved maybe and bought it later?

Advertising is all well and good if your >PROFIT< per item is around at least $10 or more, but when you’re selling digital items for less than $5 - sometimes a lot less than that - advertising sucks. It doesn’t take many click-thrus to eat up all profit, when you consider Etsy fees etc.
