Description

If you’ve ever caught yourself wondering, “What does Etsy even want from me?” this episode is your cheat sheet.

Because Etsy’s algorithm isn’t some secret code you have to crack. It’s not about chasing trends or going viral. And it’s definitely not only rewarding giant shops with huge followings.

So what is it looking for?

Today, I’m walking you through the three things Etsy’s algorithm actually wants from your shop and how to give it what it’s asking for without burning out or starting from scratch.

You’ll learn:

  • Why you don’t need to niche all the way down but you do need to focus

  • What kind of engagement matters most for your ranking

  • How consistent action (not hustle) builds long-term visibility

  • And why your next move should be about clarity not chaos
