Hey, so I opened my shop recently and threw a bunch of products in there. What I've gathered (if I'm doing this right) is that every field in the product setup on Etsy has to be filled entirely.

 

I've been using Maramalead as well (trial) to get my listing statuses up as high as I can by using their SEO keyword and tag suggestions and research tools. So far, no bites. It is *really* rough out there. I don't have any follows nor likes except for my friends and over the past 3 weeks I might average 10 views a day.

 

Perhaps it's just the corner of the market I'm trying to break into that's too saturated so I might change trajectory of my product line based on some holes in the market. We'll see.

 

Until then, I'll tweak things a bit every day, learn something new with every course and video I watch, and hopefully over time make some progress.

 

To all of you out there, the struggle is real. I hope you strike gold!
