More Etsy changes are here! ALL online platforms are constantly changing and will always be changing.  It's important to keep this in mind when selling because if you don't like change, you won't like selling online!   I'm a glass half full kinda guy and I like to give Etsy the benefit of the doubt with changes.  I do believe that they try to do what's best for buyers and sellers, not because they are the Mother Teresa of companies, but because it impacts their bottom line if people are unhappy.  This also doesn't mean that they won't get it wrong from time to time and have to fix it.   With all that being said, this episode covers the newest changes so you know how they'll impact your business.   Like this podcast?  Don't forget to leave a review!  I read them all and really appreciate your support.  

I get asked a bunch if POD shops can actually make money on Etsy... My answer is yes and no.  Just like any business, there is no guarantee.  Some shops make a lot of money and some make no money.  Much of a POD shop's success comes down to the owner.  There are a lot of variables that helps to promote success or failure.   Today I want to break down some pros and cons of starting a POD business so you can decide if this model is right for you.  After that, much of your success will come from how you set up and run your POD business.  I do believe anyone can run a successful POD business, but it won't come easy or fast.   Etsy sellers know how important reviews are to their success.  I want to help you get more 5 Star reviews with my easy-to-follow review formula.  Get it here: www.handmadeandbeyond.com/reviewformula

I get a lot of questions about sellers wanting to start their own domain outside of Etsy.  Now, with so many options this is fairly easy to do, but how do you know which option is best for you?  Two of the most common options with Etsy sellers are Pattern and Shopify.  I have personally used both and figured it’d be good to break them both down for you and give you the pros and cons of each. This episode is an epic battle of Pattern VS. Shopify! Hey did you know we're almost halfway through the year?  Where are you at with your goals?  Do you have goals?  No worries I've got you covered.  Get my goal setting worksheet that will help you set and reach your goals!  This may seem easy, but there's a reason most people don't reach their goals.  Let me help you change that with this free worksheet.  Get the goal setting worksheet here: https://www.handmadeandbeyond.com/goals

Etsy search has changed to include listing descriptions.  This is an important SEO change.   Here's what's covered in this podcast: Do’s and Don’ts: -DO try to incorporate relevant keywords in the first few sentences of your listings. -DON'T copy your title verbatim into your description. -DON'T just list keywords you want to rank for. -DO write sentences talking about your product that naturally incorporate relevant, important keywords. -Do write for humans not robots. -Do continue to include additional, relevant information about your products for your buyers such as specs, washing instructions, ordering instructions, etc.  Just add that after your first few sentences describing your product. You can use bulk editing tools such as Vela to speed things up.  I’ll include the link in the show notes.  You can bulk edit in Etsy but it doesn’t allow you to put your listings in a list form and edit each one quickly as Vela does.  It’s more for mass edits of the same information which is the opposite of what you want to do.  Get Vela Here:  https://app.getvela.com

Have you ever looked at your shop from a buyer’s perspective and tried to understand their journey & why they buy?  A lot of sellers decide to buy or not buy based on what they see in your shop.  And some of what they see is nothing more than visual marketing which has the sole purpose of getting more buyers.   Today's episode is all about taking advantage of Etsy's visual marketing features & badges so YOU can get more sales.   Need help getting more reviews?  Snag my Etsy Review Formula here for free:   https://www.handmadeandbeyond.com/reviewformula

Believe it or not all products sold solve some type of problem although it may not be quite clear what the problem is.  Granted some problems are very small and others are very big.  Nonetheless, understanding what problems your products solve and the solutions it brings to the table allows you to market to your customers better.   Knowing the problems and solutions helps position your products better to customers, convince them YOUR product is best for them, and reassure them they're making the right decision.   In return, you'll make more sales and have happier customers.   In today's episode, I talk about how to identify what problems your products solve and give you my 3 step problem solving process.

Reviews are super important to an Etsy shop's success.  They help build trust with future customers but also help with SEO.  The Etsy algorithm sends more traffic to shops that have a 5 star review average.  Why?  Well, 5 star review shops have highly satisfied customers which are good for that shop and good for Etsy.  The more buyers are pleased, the higher chance they'll return and buy from Etsy again. But it's tough getting reviews, especially early on which can be frustrating knowing how important they are.  Today, I want to go over 3 ways you can get customers to leave more reviews which in return, will help your shop grow. Also, I want to give you my free 5 star review formula.  It's a downloadable guide that will help you get more amazing reviews!  Get it here:   https://www.handmadeandbeyond.com/reviewformula

Everyone is searching for the elusive golden goose in today's age of limitless opportunity. We chase shiny objects, we chase influencers, we chase squirrels... lol.  The sad reality is most of that doesn’t lead us anywhere.   When in fact what most business owners should be chasing is the OLD tried and true way of increasing sales, which is email marketing.  In today's episode, I talk about 3 reasons why email marketing is still king and why you should implement it in your business.    1.) You can’t do anything without email.  Anything you sign up for requires it.  All those shiny new objects require it.  Anytime something new comes along ppl say email is dead but it’s not going anywhere.  You will always need an email which is why you should have it as part of your marketing plan.   2.) Email still converts 3 times better than any other platform.  That’s 3 times as many reasons to get on board.  Sure it isn’t magic and you have to learn the skills of email marketing just like anything else.  But it’s like riding a bike.  It can be easily learned if you’re willing.   3.) When you build an email list it is yours.  Facebook doesn’t decide who to show your post to.  You don’t have to worry about getting shut down and losing your audience like on a social media platform.  Your audience (as long as they stay opted in) will be with you and that’s powerful.   If you want to learn the steps to getting started with email marketing and some recommended platforms to use download my free checklist below: Get it here: handmadeandbeyond.com/emailmarketing

Today I want to talk about how I handle lost package issues so it could help you if it happens.
