How do I find Etsy communities for digital spreadsheet and template sellers?

Anonymous • in 4 hours • 1 answer

I’m new to Etsy and I sell digital products, mainly spreadsheet-based templates. I’ve only launched a couple of listings so far because building and testing the files takes time, and I’m learning as I go.

I’d like to connect with other Etsy sellers who focus on spreadsheets or digital templates so I can compare notes and get feedback. Where can I find active communities or groups for this niche, and what’s the best way to get guidance on pricing and improving how my listings are presented?

Hi! The fastest way to meet other digital template sellers (including spreadsheet folks) is inside Etsy’s own Community Hub—join a few digital-download focused Etsy Teams and post in the Digital Goods area asking specifically for “spreadsheet template sellers” or “Google Sheets/Excel template” feedback—then supplement that with niche-friendly spaces like Reddit communities for Etsy sellers and digital download sellers, plus a couple of active Facebook groups for Etsy digital product sellers.

Where to find active communities for your niche

  • Etsy Community Hub (Forums + Teams): Search Teams for keywords like digital goods, digital success, digital downloads, templates, Google Sheets, Excel, Notion, Canva. There are established Teams such as Digital Goods and other digital-focused Teams where sellers share critiques, SEO tips, and what’s working.
  • Seller education + live events (still Etsy-run): Etsy’s Community Hub also hosts online workshops and AMAs. These can be surprisingly good for “what Etsy wants to see in listings,” and you’ll often find other digital sellers in the live chat.
  • Reddit: Look for communities like r/Etsy, r/EtsySellers, and r/etsydigitalsellers. These tend to be good for honest Etsy listing critiques and pricing sanity checks (just be ready for blunt feedback).
  • Facebook groups: Search Facebook for phrases like Etsy digital products sellers, Etsy printables and digital downloads, Etsy templates sellers. Many are very active day-to-day, and you’ll see real examples of listing images and shop positioning.

How to get useful guidance (pricing + listing presentation) without spinning your wheels
If you want feedback that actually helps, don’t ask “Any tips?”—post with specifics. Here’s a simple way to do it:

  • For pricing: Ask people to compare your price to 3–5 direct competitors and answer: Am I priced like a budget option, mid-market, or premium? Does my listing presentation match that tier?
  • For listing presentation: Ask for critique on just 1–2 things at a time: thumbnail, first 2 photos, title keywords, or description clarity (especially “what you get” + “how to use it”).

A few practical pricing and presentation ideas that work well for spreadsheet templates

  • Consider tiered versions (lite / standard / premium) so you’re not forced into one “perfect” price point.
  • In your Etsy listing images, make it super visual: include real screenshots, a “What you get” checklist, and a simple 3-step “How it works” graphic.
  • Reduce refund/complaint risk by stating compatibility clearly (Excel vs Google Sheets, Mac/PC notes, required apps, skill level, and whether it’s editable).

If you tell me what kind of spreadsheet templates you sell (budgeting, trackers, business dashboards, wedding planning, etc.) and whether they’re for Excel or Google Sheets, I can suggest the best keywords to search inside Etsy Teams/Facebook—and a quick pricing comparison method for your exact niche.
