Description

You’ve poured time into your products, uploaded them to Etsy, and maybe you’re even getting some traffic and a few favourites… but sales? Crickets. 😬

In today’s episode, we’re unpacking the real reason why your Etsy listings aren’t converting  and no, it’s not just the algorithm.

I’m breaking down the 3 essential layers of a high-converting listing:
        1.        Getting found in search (hello, buyer keywords!)
        2.        Getting clicked (your thumbnail matters more than you think)
        3.        Getting purchased (because a nice listing isn’t enough)

This is a must-listen if you’ve ever said:
        •        “My views are up but no one’s buying”
        •        “I don’t know what else to try”
        •        “I think I’ve hit a plateau…”

💡 You’ll leave with clear examples, real-life success stories, and quick wins you can action today - even if you’re a total beginner.

🎯 Plus: I’ll share a juicy comparison between two sellers - one stuck in the Etsy spiral, and one who made 3 small changes and tripled her conversion rate.

📌 Homework included (yep, we’re doing this properly):
Choose one listing and optimise it using what you learn today.

Whether you’re new or just feeling stuck, this episode will help you spot what’s actually going wrong and fix it.
