My first attempt at selling on Etsy was not very good, I spent money to list products, I spent money on ads, yet I did not make any profits. If you are trying to sell on Etsy, you might learn from my mistakes.
Find a profitable niche: My major mistake was trying to sell what I wanted to sell, I did not try to see what people are actually buying. In order to generate sales, you need to sell items in a profitable niche.
Sell trending designs and products: Don’t try to create a unique product, instead, try to sell trending designs and products. By doing so your product will appear on the Etsy algorithm and will appear in suggest/similar products category.
Sell personalized items: Etsy has a different audience compared to Amazon or eBay. On Etsy, buyers come to buy personalized items, an item that can incorporate their emotions and sentiments. That’s why Etsy is a great marketplace to sell seasonal and gift items.
