#84 - Why More Etsy Listings Won’t Fix Your Sales Problem
Manage episode 513716070 series 3570096
Think slow sales mean you need to add more products? Think again.
In this episode, I’m busting one of the biggest myths in the handmade world: that more listings = more sales. Spoiler alert - it’s not about quantity. It’s about quality, clarity, and conversion.
We’ll talk about:
✅ Why uploading random new products could actually be hurting your shop
✅ The real reason Etsy rewards certain listings (hint: it’s not how many you have)
✅ What to do instead: smarter product variations, giftable bundles, and clarity around your niche
✅ Real-life examples of handmade sellers who scaled down to grow up
Whether you’re stuck in a sales slump or constantly churning out new designs hoping something will “take off”, this episode will help you shift your focus to what actually moves the needle.
🎯 ACTION STEP:
Instead of creating something brand new this week, take your top-selling product and make one thoughtful variation - a new colour, size, or giftable version. That’s how you build momentum without the burnout.
