Etsy Tips


I am a relative newcomer to Etsy, but I have recently found 2 tools that I love. Etsy offers Google Analytics on their site. The tool is found on the "your Etsy shop" page along the left hand column and is titled "web analytics". The instructions were relatively simple and easy to follow. This tool allows you to track visitors, source of visitors, number of visits, number of page views etc. Since I installed this tool I have found that I have about 1500 visitors to my Etsy shop per week. I never expected that number! The second tool comes from Etsyhacks.com. You can go to Firefox and add on the greasemonkey software on to your Firefox browser. Then when you want to relist an item or list a similar items go to the item's product page and you will see an icon directly under "report this item" that is called "copy this item". Click on the icon and voila your listing is copied. You need only add the image. Wow what a timesaver!
