Hi warrior forum,

I have recently started a etsy store selling downloadable custom quotes.

I am wondering whether this is a good business idea or not i don't seem to be getting any customer's.

Any advice would be greatly appriciated

    I don't think etsy is a good platform for that kind of products. Even with good suitable products their traffic is just not high enough to make significant sales.

      Hi, Missy...Etsy can be an excellent place to sell your creations, but it's gotten much harder to be seen lately because of changes to the Etsy search earlier this summer and fall.

      Between the search changes and the changes they made to categories, you really have to work on your titles, tags, and descriptions if you want to have any chance of being found.

      I'm not sure what you mean by selling custom quotes. Do you mean that people contact you with a quote of their own, and you make a design for them to either download instantly, or you print it and send to them?

      I've had an Etsy shop for several years selling digital collage sheets, digital papers, and printable wall art. My shop was one of the many that fell off the face of the earth with the category and search changes this year, and it's been quite difficult getting my traffic and sales back up.

      If you could tell us a little more about your Etsy shop, we might be able to give you some suggestions.

        Well,

        Etsy works well for specific niches, but has in evey business you cannot rely only in etsy traffic you should use social media like facebook and pinterest and a blog of your own, then also optimize the titles and tags, description has no effect for the Etsy Seo algorythm.

        I think some digital products work really well, but the focus is for ohysical products.
        With SEO i am getting about 100 daily views for a low traffic niche, if you go to the jewelery niche you will get thousand of daily vie, but will need a good Seo and great social media exposure.
