How to get 1000 sales on Etsy - scaling up and moving on!

Congratulations!! If you have been selling well on Etsy and are heading towards that 1000th sale you are doing really amazingly well

Honestly, you are now well into the top 10% of sellers on Etsy

And that means that things can be different. You have an idea of keywords and how to rank and what your customers want, you know your photographs are pretty OK and you know how to give good customer support

You are doing fantastic, I really mean it

So what different thing can you think of doing now??

You can Diversify

Consider kits, a 2nd shop, trends and even affiliate marketing (for things you really believe in)

You can be an Expert

Create tutorials, give advice on forums and blogs, create videos and podcasts or get involved in interviews (some of these things you can even make money out of as well as driving traffic to your shop - and doing something different that keeps you motivated)

You can spread out to New Horizons

Etsy is amazing but its good to not have all our eggs in one basket so consider mailing lists, websites or even getting your items in real stores and galleries

Milestones are awesome things to aim for - and times to step back and enjoy your achievements

And heading for 1000 sales on Etsy is actually an achievement that most sellers do not reach because they give up too soon or they just dont understand the work you need to put in to get to this goal

But once you have started selling on Etsy and have got some good traction and understanding of SEO, photography and all the steps to selling then it is time to change up what you are doing

The things that worked for a small seller can still work but now you can aim higher

You can aim for more competitive keywords
Even keywords that drive traffic from google

Gather your customers offsite either on a mailing list, social media or your very own website

You can become an expert in your field with tutorials, kits affiliate links or working with suppliers

You can diversify your range with moving into galleries and stores, working with manufacturers

Or hire people for certain tasks like photography, shipping, accountancy etc


What steps are you taking this year to expand your business on Etsy from a small shop to a business that can support you and your family ?
