How to rank your Etsy listings on Page 1! NEW UPDATED Etsy Ultimate Growth Challenge! Grow faster than 99% of Etsy shops 🚀 Steal my $550K shortcut & skip the struggle 👇 👉 https://www.skool.com/etsygamesvip/about I’m breaking down the exact Etsy SEO shift that’s helping listings hit page one faster—even as AI search, ChatGPT, and Google AI Overviews change how buyers discover products. This isn’t about “writing for AI.” It’s about matching buyer search intent better than your competition, especially at the bottom of the funnel where real buyers live. I walk through: • Why page one visibility on Etsy still matters more than ever • How AI search actually rewards strong buyer intent (not gimmicks) • The difference between top-of-funnel vs bottom-of-funnel Etsy searches • Real Etsy search examples that show where sales actually come from • How to use long-tail, high-intent phrases buyers are already typing • Where to place these phrases in your listings for maximum impact • A powerful prompt that helps uncover buyer-ready search terms • How to adapt your SEO strategy to win across Etsy, Google, and ChatGPT If you’ve been stuck on page 3—or wondering why traffic isn’t converting—this strategy realigns your listings with how people actually shop now. #etsyseo #etsytips #etsysellers #etsysearch #ecommercetips #onlineselling 👉Printful, My Favorite POD Software: https://www.printful.com/a/1357156:c9e605a691a554028f3a2945eeefe61d 🔥My POD Secret Weapon: Try Kittl here and use code LLYT for 25% off: https://kittl.pxf.io/POLJaM 💻Try Alura For Free Here: https://www.alura.io/?via=LLETSY 📚Etsy SEO Revealed FREE eBook- Learn and understand Etsy SEO to help you grow your business.

BEWARE of the BIGGEST Etsy Scam Right Now! 01/21/2026

BEWARE of the BIGGEST Etsy Scam Right Now! NEW UPDATED Etsy Ultimate Growth Challenge! Grow faster than 99% of Etsy shops 🚀 Steal my $550K shortcut & skip the struggle 👇 👉 https://www.skool.com/etsygamesvip/about I’m exposing one of the biggest Etsy scams happening right now and it’s getting worse fast as AI tools become more advanced. Sellers are receiving refund requests backed by fake damage photos that look real at first glance but are completely AI-generated. This scam is hitting Etsy, eBay, and other marketplaces, and newer sellers are being targeted the hardest. I walk through exactly how this scam works, show real examples of AI-altered images, and explain the subtle red flags most sellers miss. I also share a clear step-by-step protocol you can follow when a buyer claims an item arrived damaged so you don’t accidentally refund a scammer. You’ll learn when to require returns, when buyers should pay return shipping, how Etsy’s buyer protection actually works, and how to protect yourself with listing policies, packaging proof, and smarter shipping practices. I also explain why pushing back professionally matters and how to handle cases when Etsy gets it wrong without panicking or shutting down your shop. If you sell on Etsy or plan to, this is something you need to understand now before it costs you money. #etsy #etsysellers #etsybusiness #onlineselling #ecommerce #smallbusiness 🔥My POD Secret Weapon: Try Kittl here and use code LLYT for 25% off: https://kittl.pxf.io/POLJaM 👉Printful, My Favorite POD Software: https://www.printful.com/a/1357156:c9e605a691a554028f3a2945eeefe61d 💻Try Alura For Free Here: https://www.alura.io/?via=LLETSY 📚Etsy SEO Revealed FREE eBook- Learn and understand Etsy SEO to help you grow your business.

The Exact Etsy Keyword Method That Finally Gets You Found NEW UPDATED Etsy Ultimate Growth Challenge! Grow faster than 99% of Etsy shops 🚀 Steal my $550K shortcut & skip the struggle 👇 👉 https://www.skool.com/etsygamesvip/about I walk through a simple but powerful 9-step Etsy keyword framework that takes you from a blank page to a fully optimized title and tag setup that actually gets traffic. I start with how to define exactly what your product is, then layer in use-cases, buyer intent, features, benefits, and adjacent keyword opportunities so you stop guessing and start targeting what shoppers are really searching for. I also show how to validate demand using keyword tools like Alura, Everbee, and Etsy data so you’re not wasting time on dead keywords. From there, I demonstrate how to turn that research into a high-performing Etsy title using long-tail, buyer-intent keywords placed where the Etsy algorithm looks first, and how to mirror those keywords inside your 13 tags for maximum relevancy. I even cover how to use ChatGPT for brainstorming while still verifying everything with real search volume. By the end, you’ll know exactly how to structure your listings so they get found, get clicked, and get sales. #etsyseo #etsykeywords #etsyseller #etsytips #etsygrowth #digitalproducts 🔥My POD Secret Weapon: Try Kittl here and use code LLYT for 25% off: https://kittl.pxf.io/POLJaM 👉Printful, My Favorite POD Software: https://www.printful.com/a/1357156:c9e605a691a554028f3a2945eeefe61d 💻Try Alura For Free Here: https://www.alura.io/?via=LLETSY 📚Etsy SEO Revealed FREE eBook- Learn and understand Etsy SEO to help you grow your business.

3 Ways To Find Etsy Sales Trends in 5 Minutes 01/13/2026

3 Ways To Find Etsy Sales Trends in 5 Minutes Grow faster than 99% of Etsy shops 🚀 Steal my $550K shortcut & skip the struggle 👇 👉 https://www.skool.com/etsygamesvip/about I walk through three fast, practical ways I use to find what’s actually selling on Etsy right now so I never have to guess what to list. I start with how to spot real-time trends directly inside Etsy using bestseller data instead of old sales history that can mislead you. Then I show how I validate demand using keyword and product tools so I can see monthly sales, competition, and seasonality before I ever create a product. After that, I explain how I look deeper into actual listings to uncover what top sellers are doing differently, from tags and pricing to product style and positioning. Finally, I share a bonus trend-hunting method that goes beyond Etsy and taps into what buyers are talking about across the internet, including Reddit, Quora, and social platforms, so you can catch trends before they’re saturated. If you want to grow faster without wasting time on products nobody wants, these methods help you focus on what’s already proven to sell and put your own spin on it so you can stand out and scale smarter. #etsytrends #etsyseller #etsytips #ecommerce #onlineselling 🔥My POD Secret Weapon: Try Kittl here and use code LLYT for 25% off: https://kittl.pxf.io/POLJaM 👉Printful, My Favorite POD Software: https://www.printful.com/a/1357156:c9e605a691a554028f3a2945eeefe61d 💻Try Alura For Free Here: https://www.alura.io/?via=LLETSY 📚Etsy SEO Revealed FREE eBook- Learn and understand Etsy SEO to help you grow your business.

Is Etsy still Worth it in 2026? 01/12/2026

Is Etsy still Worth it in 2026? NEW Ultimate Etsy Traffic Challenge! Grow faster than 99% of Etsy shops 🚀 Steal my $550K shortcut & skip the struggle 👇 👉 https://www.skool.com/etsygamesvip/about I’m answering the question every Etsy seller is quietly asking in 2026 — is Etsy still worth it, or is it a waste of time now? I walk through what has actually changed on the platform, why the 90+ million buyers still matter, and what most sellers get completely wrong when they try to make sales. I explain why Etsy is not “broken,” why traffic is the real game behind every successful shop, and how sellers who treat Etsy like a real business continue to grow while others quit after a few weeks. I also cover the two traffic levers that decide whether your shop lives or dies, how consistency beats almost every tactic, and why low-barrier niches like print on demand are harder than most people realize. I finish by showing how competition, value, and positioning determine who wins in 2026 — and how you can still carve out your piece of the pie if you approach Etsy the right way. #etsy2026 #etsyseller #etsybusiness #sidehustle #ecommerce #makemoneyonline 🔥My POD Secret Weapon: Try Kittl here and use code LLYT for 25% off: https://kittl.pxf.io/POLJaM 👉Printful, My Favorite POD Software: https://www.printful.com/a/1357156:c9e605a691a554028f3a2945eeefe61d 💻Try Alura For Free Here: https://www.alura.io/?via=LLETSY 📚Etsy SEO Revealed FREE eBook- Learn and understand Etsy SEO to help you grow your business.

Why Isn't Your Etsy Traffic Converting? Grow faster than 99% of Etsy shops 🚀 Steal my $550K shortcut & skip the struggle 👇 👉 https://www.skool.com/etsygamesvip/about I’m tackling one of the most frustrating problems on Etsy, getting traffic that doesn’t turn into sales. I walk through the real reasons buyers look at listings but don’t purchase, starting with how to properly read your Etsy stats so you know whether you have a traffic problem or a conversion problem. I explain the difference between visits and views, what a healthy conversion rate actually looks like, and how long you need to let a listing run before making changes. From there, I use my Listing Success Formula to show how low, medium, and high visit counts point to totally different problems, from SEO and thumbnails to pricing and trust issues. I dive deep into the biggest conversion killers, including bad photos, weak or confusing videos, poor pricing strategy, unclear personalization options, and listings that create friction for buyers. I also explain how to use your images to sell value, how to position your offer so it feels worth the price, and how reviews impact buyer trust. By the end, you’ll know exactly how to diagnose what’s holding your Etsy shop back and what to fix first so your existing traffic finally turns into consistent sales. #etsy #etsyseller #etsytips #onlineselling #ecommerce 🔥My POD Secret Weapon: Try Kittl here and use code LLYT for 25% off: https://kittl.pxf.io/POLJaM 👉Printful, My Favorite POD Software: https://www.printful.com/a/1357156:c9e605a691a554028f3a2945eeefe61d 💻Try Alura For Free Here: https://www.alura.io/?via=LLETSY 📚Etsy SEO Revealed FREE eBook- Learn and understand Etsy SEO to help you grow your business.

The Etsy Seller Making $1M Shares Everything 01/08/2026

The Etsy Seller Making $1M Shares Everything Grow faster than 99% of Etsy shops 🚀 Steal my $550K shortcut & skip the struggle 👇 👉 https://www.skool.com/etsygamesvip/about I’m sharing one of the most valuable breakdowns I’ve ever seen from a real Etsy seller who crossed the $1M mark in sales—and more importantly, how they did it. This isn’t theory or hype. It’s a practical look at the mindset shifts, listing strategies, pricing decisions, and optimization habits that actually compound results on Etsy. I walk through the exact principles this seller used to scale, including how they stopped taking sales personally, improved conversion rates, designed listing images that stop the scroll, fixed leaks between clicks and checkouts, avoided racing to the bottom on price, and used photos, video, ads, and customer service to do the heavy lifting. I also explain why consistency, fresh listings, split testing, and treating Etsy like a real business—not a hobby—creates long-term momentum. If you’re trying to get more sales, raise your conversion rate, or build a sustainable Etsy shop without burnout, this is the roadmap to focus on first. #etsyseller #etsytips #etsysuccess #etsybusiness #makeoneytsy 🔥My POD Secret Weapon: Try Kittl here and use code LLYT for 25% off: https://kittl.pxf.io/POLJaM 👉Printful, My Favorite POD Software: https://www.printful.com/a/1357156:c9e605a691a554028f3a2945eeefe61d 💻Try Alura For Free Here: https://www.alura.io/?via=LLETSY 📚Etsy SEO Revealed FREE eBook- Learn and understand Etsy SEO to help you grow your business.

This Etsy Review Strategy Quietly Boosts SEO and Sales Grow faster than 99% of Etsy shops 🚀 Steal my $550K shortcut & skip the struggle 👇 👉 https://www.skool.com/etsygamesvip/about I share why Etsy reviews matter more than ever and how they directly impact SEO, trust, and long-term sales growth. I walk through five proven strategies that help Etsy sellers increase their review rate well beyond the average, without begging or annoying buyers. I explain how product quality, faster shipping, better packaging, smart buyer messaging, and unexpected value-adds can dramatically increase five-star reviews. I also cover a bonus SEO tactic most sellers overlook that helps lock in reviews while reinforcing keyword relevance inside your shop. If you want more reviews, higher trust, and more money from the same traffic, this strategy stack is essential. #etsyreviews #etsyseller #etsyseotips #etsybusiness #onlineselling 🔥My POD Secret Weapon: Try Kittl here and use code LLYT for 25% off: https://kittl.pxf.io/POLJaM 👉Printful, My Favorite POD Software: https://www.printful.com/a/1357156:c9e605a691a554028f3a2945eeefe61d 💻Try Alura For Free Here: https://www.alura.io/?via=LLETSY 📚Etsy SEO Revealed FREE eBook- Learn and understand Etsy SEO to help you grow your business.

I Asked ChatGPT To Make Me As Much Money As Possible on Etsy 01/05/2026

I Asked ChatGPT To Make Me As Much Money As Possible on Etsy Grow faster than 99% of Etsy shops 🚀 Steal my $550K shortcut & skip the struggle 👇 👉 https://www.skool.com/etsygamesvip/about I asked ChatGPT to help me make money on Etsy—but not in the generic way most people use AI. I walk through a real, step-by-step prompt sequence designed specifically for Etsy sellers who want faster results, not vague advice. I show how chaining prompts together completely changes the quality of output, starting with proper seller context, narrowing down to a single high-probability product focus, and using simple math to map pricing and volume to real revenue goals. I then use ChatGPT to generate a 90-day execution plan that works with limited time, limited budget, and no existing audience. I also cover how to validate buyer demand using Etsy-native behaviors (not opinions), how to avoid common beginner mistakes that slow sales, and how to use AI as a decision-making tool instead of a motivation trap. Finally, I demonstrate a mindset diagnosis prompt that acts like a business coach to identify execution blocks and turn them into a short proof sprint. This approach shows why “How do I make more money on Etsy?” is the wrong question—and how better prompts lead to better strategy, better action, and better results. #EtsySeller #EtsyTips #MakeMoneyOnEtsy #ChatGPTForBusiness #EtsyGrowth #AIForEcommerce 🔥My POD Secret Weapon: Try Kittl here and use code LLYT for 25% off: https://kittl.pxf.io/POLJaM 👉Printful, My Favorite POD Software: https://www.printful.com/a/1357156:c9e605a691a554028f3a2945eeefe61d 💻Try Alura For Free Here: https://www.alura.io/?via=LLETSY 📚Etsy SEO Revealed FREE eBook- Learn and understand Etsy SEO to help you grow your business.

Top 3 Etsy Mistakes of 2025 (Fixes Inside) Grow faster than 99% of Etsy shops 🚀 Steal my $550K shortcut & skip the struggle 👇 👉 https://www.skool.com/etsygamesvip/about I’m closing out the year by calling out the three biggest Etsy mistakes I’ve seen holding sellers back in 2025 and what to do instead going into 2026. I walk through why underutilized shop sections quietly hurt traffic and trust, how your photos and listing visuals directly control clicks and conversions, and why a lack of niche focus makes growth harder than it needs to be. I also explain how Etsy’s algorithm uses your shop data, how to turn images into sales tools instead of placeholders, and how targeting a clear audience makes product creation easier and more profitable over time. If you want more traffic, better conversions, and a stronger foundation heading into the new year, this is the reset most sellers need. #etsyseo #etsyseller #etsytips #etsymistakes #onlinebusiness #sidehustle 👉Printful, My Favorite POD Software: https://www.printful.com/a/1357156:c9e605a691a554028f3a2945eeefe61d 🔥Try Kittl here and use code LLYT for 25% off: https://kittl.pxf.io/POLJaM 💻Try Alura For Free Here: https://www.alura.io/?via=LLETSY 📚Etsy SEO Revealed FREE eBook- Learn and understand Etsy SEO to help you grow your business.

I Fix This Etsy Shop in 10 Minutes (And It Explains Low Sales) Grow faster than 99% of Etsy shops 🚀 Steal my $550K shortcut & skip the struggle 👇 👉 https://www.skool.com/etsygamesvip/about I pick a random Etsy shop and show how I would change its trajectory using just three high-impact fixes in under 10 minutes. I focus on the exact areas that hold most Etsy shops back early on and explain how small, strategic changes can dramatically improve traffic, clicks, and conversions. I start by evaluating the shop at a glance to set realistic expectations around sales, reviews, and growth timelines. Then I walk through the first major fix: branding and shop aesthetic, including how banners, logos, and the About section influence buyer trust and Etsy SEO. Next, I explain why listing sections are one of the most overlooked SEO and conversion tools on Etsy and how they act like mini landing pages for both shoppers and search. Finally, I dive into product photography and video, breaking down why consistency, backgrounds, lighting, and movement matter so much in crowded Etsy search results. This walkthrough is designed to help you spot the same issues in your own shop and apply these fixes quickly, without getting overwhelmed by minor details. #etsyseo #etsyshopreview #etsytips #etsyseller #etsyshopgrowth #etsymarketing 👉Printful, My Favorite POD Software: https://www.printful.com/a/1357156:c9e605a691a554028f3a2945eeefe61d 🔥Try Kittl here and use code LLYT for 25% off: https://kittl.pxf.io/POLJaM 💻Try Alura For Free Here: https://www.alura.io/?via=LLETSY 📚Etsy SEO Revealed FREE eBook- Learn and understand Etsy SEO to help you grow your business.

My focus is on niches with strong customer demand, long runway, and profit potential, even for sellers who want to start fresh or pivot into a more sustainable business model. Here’s exactly what I cover: • What makes a niche profitable in 2026 Demand indicators, long-term sustainability signs, and how barrier-to-entry affects competition. • The 8 best Etsy niches to start or pivot into I break down equipment needs, skill requirements, market trends, pros, cons, and why each niche is exploding. • Why 3D printing is becoming one of Etsy’s biggest goldmines High demand, low saturation, incredible product variety, and how AI + CAD is speeding up product development. • Laser cutting & engraving trends Why personalized acrylic/wood products are booming and what 2026’s “layered 3D art” trend means for sellers. • The woodworking resurgence Why buyers are rejecting cheap imports and paying premium prices for small-batch craftsmanship. • High-end apparel & embroidery micro-brands Why embroidered apparel is outperforming POD and how digitizing skills unlock high-margin income. • Polymer clay & resin for pros The rise of hyper-realistic minis, mixed-media pieces, and personalized micro-creations. • Metal stamping & silversmithing Why meaningful heirloom-style jewelry is booming and how real craftsmanship outperforms mass-produced goods. • High-complexity digital products How digital files tied to the “maker economy” (3D printable files, laser SVGs, embroidery files) are exploding. • Scented products & clean branding Why clean-ingredient candles/soaps with high-end branding still sell—and why they’re hard to get right.

Do More Etsy Listings Equal More Sales? (This WILL Surprise You) 11/17/2025

Do More Etsy Listings Equal More Sales? (This WILL Surprise You) Grow faster than 99% of Etsy shops 👇 Steal my $550K shortcut & skip the struggle 👇 👉 https://www.skool.com/etsygamesvip/about I get asked this all the time as an Etsy coach: do more listings actually equal more sales—or are you just burning yourself out uploading random products? In this episode, I walk through real shop examples, my own $550K+ shop data, and the five big factors that actually move the needle for your sales. Here’s what I cover step-by-step: • The real relationship between listing count and sales I share how many listings my best-performing shop has, when sales really took off, and why the number alone doesn’t guarantee results. • Real Etsy shop examples (high and low listing counts) I pull up multiple pet-related shops—from 1,000+ listings to under 20—and show how some shops crush it with tons of listings while others win big with just a handful. • High barrier vs low barrier products I explain why more specialized, complex, or equipment-heavy products can win with fewer listings, and why low-barrier niches (like POD shirts and mugs) usually need more listings plus stronger differentiation. • Random listings vs serving a clear target market I use a simple “road” visual to show how scattered, unrelated listings confuse the algorithm and your buyers—versus building product lines that all serve the same ideal customer and feed each other traffic. • Passion vs chasing quick money I talk honestly about why shops built only for fast cash usually quit, and how caring about your niche gives you the stamina to push through slow seasons and competition. • The Ultimate Etsy Traffic Challenge & app I walk through my 28-day Etsy traffic challenge inside Etsy Games VIP, including the app I built that gives you daily tasks, tracks your points, and rewards you for consistent action. • Throwing mud vs strategy with your listings I show why “I just need 100 listings” is a trap, and how to use your data to decide which listings to create next instead of randomly uploading whatever’s on your list. • Improving vs staying stuck in the status quo I wrap up with a mindset shift: how to constantly improve your photos, descriptions, and product lines, and how to outwork and out-iterate your competition over time.

Copy This Strategy, It’ll Blow Up Your Etsy Business 11/14/2025

Copy This Strategy, It’ll Blow Up Your Etsy Business Grow faster than 99% of Etsy shops 👇 Steal my $540K shortcut & skip the struggle 👇 👉 https://www.skool.com/etsygamesvip/about I help Etsy sellers who feel completely lost on what to sell, pick a profitable niche and build a product line that can actually scale. I start by showing you how to choose a niche you’re passionate about (so you don’t burn out chasing random trends), then walk through real demand and product research using Etsy Marketplace Insights plus tools like Alura, EverBee, and eRank. You’ll see how I filter down to high-demand products, test niches the smart way, and use a “1,000 product” mindset to avoid dead-end ideas. Then I take a dog portrait example and turn that single idea into an entire product line with breed-specific SEO, style variations, and strategic pricing tiers that signal to the Etsy algorithm you’re the go-to shop in your niche. By the end, you’ll know how to: – Choose a niche based on passion and demand – Use Etsy Insights and third-party tools to validate product ideas – Avoid “yard sale” shops by committing to one focused niche – Turn one idea into dozens of profitable listings with variations and bundles – Leverage the 80/20 rule to double down on winners and expand into new niches (like cats and full pet art brands) If you want feedback, strategy support, and hands-on help implementing this, I also invite you into my Etsy Games VIP community where we dig into your shop, niche, and product line together. #etsy #etsyseller #etsyshop #etsysuccess #productresearch #etsytips 💻Try Alura For Free Here: https://www.alura.io/?via=LLETSY 📚Etsy SEO Revealed FREE eBook- Learn and understand Etsy SEO to help you grow your business.

The Fastest Way to 500 Etsy Sales — Nobody Talks About This 10/27/2025

The Fastest Way to 500 Etsy Sales — Nobody Talks About This I’m showing you the exact framework I used to go from zero sales to consistent momentum—ultimately passing $550,000 in Etsy revenue. You’ll learn the psychological journey every seller goes through, how to pick a tight niche the algorithm actually understands, the cadence for shipping listings without burning out, and the metrics that prove you’re on track (including the 1% conversion benchmark). I’ll also cover when to layer in marketing (and when not to), which channels compound over time, and the weekly system that keeps growth predictable. What you’ll learn • Mindset map: uninformed optimism → informed pessimism → valley of despair → informed optimism → success • Niche strategy: why focus beats “sell everything” and how the algorithm rewards depth • Listing cadence: a simple weekly target to feed the algo and gather data fast • Momentum signals: traffic → favorites → sales (and how to mine listing stats/keywords) • Benchmarks: the 1% conversion rule and how to interpret it at low volumes • Go deeper: multiplying winners, avoiding shiny-object detours • Marketing timing: when to use coupons, sales, and (later) Etsy Ads without wasting budget • Traffic that compounds: Pinterest, YouTube, and blog vs. short-life social posts • The weekly flywheel: research → create → analyze → refine → expand #EtsySelling #EtsySEO #EcommerceTips #SideHustle #PrintOnDemand #SmallBusiness #HandmadeBusiness Grow faster than 99% of Etsy shops 👇 Steal my $540K shortcut & skip the struggle 👇 👉 https://www.skool.com/etsygamesvip/about 💻Try Alura For Free Here: https://www.alura.io/?via=LLETSY 📚Etsy SEO Revealed FREE eBook- Learn and understand Etsy SEO to help you grow your business.
