The World of Etsy and Digital Products
Helping others get creative.
How Does it Work?
Etsy is an online marketplace geared towards creative buyers and sellers. It facilitates the sale for both physical and digital products giving the everyday entrepreneur the opportunity to grow a business. As a seller, I design my products based on my niche, upload those products, and then optimize each listing with keyword-rich titles and descriptions. When a customer completes a purchase, Etsy facilitates the transaction, and then automatically transfers the product to the customer. Next, the customer is able to access the product via a Canva Template link embedded in a PDF, and edit their product as much as their needs require.
01
Design
Form and function play key roles in the pursuit of good design. My templates are made to be accessible for those who are seeking a seamless creative process. My designs are built on a basic foundation that allows the purchaser to edit as much or as little as they wish. I conduct ample research in my chosen niche and gear my product line towards what is trending at any given time.
03
Trend Management
Adapting to product trends and cycles is another keystone element of operating an Etsy shop. To rank on the first page and maintain that position, sellers must observe the current trends throughout the year and apply that practice continuously for better shop statistics. This can apply to any number of situations, whether it be seasonal or otherwise. It is critically important that a seller maintain a steady stream of “evergreen” products that will sell throughout the year.
02
Etsy SEO
Etsy’s algorithm is complex and highly competitive. Achieving ample views and sales comes from consistent research and observation by the seller. Titles and descriptions that are rich with trending keywords make up the difference between a listing ranked on the first page versus the last. A seller must be consistently active by listing new products and modifying their keyword combinations. This is the strategy that will lead a store to rank first.
04
Integrating AI Tools
Trial and error oftentimes is how we learn. Depending on how a seller presents their product, Etsy ranks the product based on the listing images or keyword combinations. By integrating AI tools, I am able to generate derivatives of listings with different SEO optimized titles and descriptions. This allows me to create a test platform for which listings perform better based on the combination of data I have supplied.
