Starting an Etsy Shop

Etsy is a search engine that happens to sell things.

That one sentence is why most shops fail. People treat it like Instagram, make it pretty, and then wonder why nobody finds them. Pretty does not rank. Keywords do.

This is the guide to opening an Etsy shop that actually gets found, from someone who has done it rather than someone who read about it.

What you get

• How to choose a product that sells, not just one you like
• Etsy SEO explained without the jargon, titles, tags and the bits that matter
• Listing photos that get the click on a crowded results page
• Pricing that survives Etsy fees and still leaves you a profit
• Your first 10 sales plan, including the awkward early ones
• Digital versus physical, and which is genuinely less work

Who it is for

Anyone who wants an income stream that keeps working while they sleep. Especially good if you make something, or want to sell digital products with zero stock.

The honest bit

Etsy is slow at the start. Then it compounds. Most people quit in month two, right before it works.
