3 Things I've Learned About Life from Vintage

Here’s how 45 minutes with me can attract new customers to your Etsy shop … the easy way. 

“Where my customers at??”

If you’re a seller on Etsy asking yourself this question on a regular basis, keep reading.

A shop can’t be “found” by users of Etsy unless it’s SEO-optimized. 

What’s SEO you ask? It’s the process of writing your shop description, about page, titles, listing descriptions and more so that they include the best keywords allowing for the greatest amount of potential eyeballs landing on your listings and exploring your shop to see what else you have for sale.

In other words, an SEO-optimized site = a shop which buying customers find … without you having to tweet, Facebook, Instagram or send a single smoke signal about it.

That’s why I’m offering a class on Pop Expert for all Etsy sellers to learn the ins and outs of SEO so that their shops can rank in the first pages of search, retain customers for engaged shoppers and be found by buying-customers looking for their products.My SEO Smackdown Class: How to Attract Customers to Your Etsy Shop 2

IS THIS COURSE FOR YOU?

The online vintage shop of D&J Vintage on Etsy 

1.) Do you feel like you’re doing everything right in your Etsy shop, but you just aren’t getting enough views to convert lookers into actual customers?

2.) You’re consistently listing new vintage items and attract a lot of eyeballs right away, but then the traffic stutters, fades and disappears?

3.) You do everything and anything you can via social media to drive traffic to your shop – but no one seems to care, much less want to buy

4.) You’re constantly complaining this is a “slow” month for sales … until you realize it’s been “a slow month” for the past six.

If you’re selling quality vintage goods that are presented and communicated with professionalism – but one or all of the above feel applicable to your situation – chances are your shop isn’t optimized for SEO (search engine optimization).

But that’s OK! SEO is easy to learn and quick to implement – that is, if you know exactly what to do.

THE COURSE: SEO FOR ETSY SELLERS

3 Things I've Learned About Life from Vintage

How to Get More Customers Through Search

Skip reading boring guides to SEO and wasting time figuring out the game yourself. I offer a thorough, concise and understandable 45 minute video session breaking down everything you need to know about SEO to maximize pageviews to your Etsy shop.

I want you to have time to do what you love (find, mend and style vintage clothing!) and stop performing research that gets you no where and worst yet, little to no tangible results.

There’s no need to “write” down notes. You can type them as I lead the call using Pop Expert’s note taking tool. All notes are saved in your profile for access … forever.
