My Etsy shop is doing a good business by God's will. I am very grateful for it but there are few things that I wish I knew right from the beginning.
1- This is harsh but true:
You have made many things, your shop looks good banner and about section looks perfect and now you are busy in other things or you are just lazy waiting for sale or many sales. Forget about it this is not going to happen. Whether you believe it or not for frequent sale you have to work every day on your product or on your shop or both. When you sit and wait for a sale it shows. Some how buyers can feel it. When you look at a shop you can tell how active and serious the seller is. No, don't try to change your banner or profile picture every week or month or even year. This will only show how confuse you are rather put serious effort. Genuinely give time to things everyday. Your hard work and effort will show through everything.
2- Keeping things simple is good for both buyer and seller:
When you have too many options you get so confuse that your mind wants to skip it. To much to see to many size options to many variations it is not a good idea. If you see best sellers with extraordinary sale on Etsy having exceptionally high standard you will notice that they keep their shop simple. For example there are many good original art shops on Etsy where sellers make paintings on one basic size of canvas. This gives the buyer a very relaxed atmosphere. Because of having only one or two size options the seller can prepare all packaging stuff beforehand and thus can ship it with in no time resulting in a happy customer.
