If youāve started an Etsy shop and not made money, itās probably not Etsyās fault š
I know thatās not what people want to hear.
The first reaction is always āEtsy is saturatedā, āthe algorithm hates meā, ānobody buys on Etsy anymoreā.
Maybe.
But the much more likely explanation is that the shop just isnāt there yet.
When I started selling posters, most of my designs got absolutely no traction. No sales. No favourites. Barely any views. If Iād judged Etsy based on my first 50 products, Iād have told everyone it was a complete waste of time.
Luckily I kept uploading.
Eventually a few products started selling. Then I made more like those products. Then a few more started selling. Over time the catalogue became good enough and large enough that the whole thing started compounding.
Thatās usually what successful Etsy shops look like.
Not one genius product.
Not one lucky break.
Just lots of iterations until you find what works.
Thatās why I always tell people to stop blaming Etsy after 20 listings and 3 weeks. Most shops havenāt even given themselves a chance at that point.
And because we make money from fulfilment through PrintShrimp, we teach the entire process completely free inside PrintShrimp Skool.
The community is completely free and includes free guides, free videos, free step-by-step tutorials, and loads of people building Etsy shops together.
