What to Do Before You Open an Etsy Shop
Get ready to open a successful Etsy shop with smart product ideas, branding, pricing, photos, SEO keywords, fees, policies, and launch marketing already planned.
How do I get feedback on my new Etsy shop and improve my first listings?
Anonymous • in 16 hours • No answers yet
I just opened a new Etsy shop selling my own original designs, and I’m trying to make sure my listings and shop setup look professional before I add more products. Over the next few weeks I plan to upload additional designs, and later expand into larger made-to-order pieces like lamps, one-off tables, and art items.
Could someone review my shop setup and current listings and tell me what the biggest fixes or missed opportunities are (photos, titles/tags, pricing, descriptions, policies, and overall branding) before I scale up?
