- How to start an Etsy shop for beginners. Sharing tips on how I went from 0 to 500 Etsy sales in just a few months. I’ll be diving into research, reviews, keywords, photos, videos, and listings to help you with your Etsy success! Check out my Etsy shop here → www.etsy.com/shop/StayCreating
Last year I decided to open an Etsy shop again (after leaving the platform for a couple of years). I wanted to be super intentional about the way I launched and grew my shop this time around. So I did a lot of research, spoke to successful Etsy shop owners, and listened to podcasts and learned SO much in the process. I launched with purely digital products and since the filming of this video, my shop has grown to include physical products as well.
I’m far from an expert but my Etsy business is growing and I’m learning so much everyday. TH-cam has helped me so much in starting a small business, so I wanted to put these tips out there for anyone who finds themselves looking for real tips from real people. I feel so supported as a maker and I hope this video helps other makers make money on Etsy. 💸✨💗

thank you for your unbiased opinion sister 💕 love you! lol
@@AmandaLoveSantos hey where's the lie!? Lol 🧐🧐🧐
Lots of great advice. Thank you for sharing. It's always great when someone takes the time to help others succeed.
This is a great video. Thank you so much. Love your patterns
Thank you for sharing Amanda💚
you’re so welcome 💕
Great job!!!
Great video of tips, thanks
you’re so welcome! hope they’re helpful ☺️
Thank you for the tips Amanda!
I'm planning to sell on Etsy soon. Out of the 500 sales how many were for the physical items?
you’re so welcome! good luck to you & when you open shop, share it with me. I’d love to see what you make ☺️
& to answer your question, the first 500 sales were purely digital patterns. I didn’t launch physical products until about 2 months ago. it’s picking up slowly but still just a small fraction of sales right now compared to the patterns. i’m currently experimenting with a few different things like ads, a program calls sales samurai & adjusting listings to get more sales. learning a lot!
Really useful tips, Thank you. Background music was distracting and horrible though.
I make and sell handmade crochet hats from preemies to adults and styles are animals Characters and regular hats
I would love to start and Etsy shop but I would love to do it part time not full time I wish they had that option and I wish they didn’t have to ask for your personal info
Maybe start selling on Instagram
You could totally do it part time ☺️ If your worried about the time commitment, you can always adjust the shipping & packing times to work with your schedule.
this is a good option too especially if you’re already very active on instagram 👌🏼
@@AmandaLoveSantos thank you I will consider trying that out instagram I don’t have 😊
@@lady4775 yes, come share your shop if you end up launching one. I would love to see what you make :)
I opened a shop on Etsy a few month ago… I sell crochet plushies, but I’m not getting any orders, TH-cam videos suggest to make TikTok about it but I don’t want to.
I have a shop with not much traffic or sales
I’ve definitely been there too! It takes a lot of trial and error, don’t lose hope 💕 What’s the name of your shop?
@@AmandaLoveSantos Sandy's stitch shoppe
Wow so many products! love the kimonos, the headbands & little girl dresses 😍 You put a lot of love in your products & it shows. Something you can experiment with is adding more keywords (as explained in the video) and also I would suggest trying to light your photos a little more (try taking photos in front of a window or natural source of light). It’s not easy but i’ve noticed it has made a big difference in my own listings.
@@AmandaLoveSantos Thank you. I will do that and also fill in information about my shop
awesome, let me know how it works out for you ☺️
Gypsy is a derogatory term
thank you for sharing this, good to know!
