Write A Etsy Title that Works
By: Laurie Stephens
If you want the items you are selling to rank high on Etsy and the major search engines then write the best titles that you can for the items. I ‘m going to give you some suggestions on writing good titles for your listings, these are things I have used to write titles for the Etsy shop Redposie. They have proved to be very effective in increasing the number of shoppers to the Etsy shop Redposie which has resulted in my sells going up. I have used my professional experience in internet marketing and my passion for collecting vintage things to run a successful Etsy Shop.
There are many Etsy Shops selling Vintage items like the Redposie shop, currently when a shopper searches on Etsy for vintage items they will get approximately 1, 848,128 items to choose from and with the growing popularity of Etsy being the online place for shoppers to find vintage items that number is sure to increase as time passes. At Redposie to get our Vintage items seen by Buyers we needed to rely on the title to make our items appear in the Etsy search engine results, Google, Bing, yahoo and other major search engines. With some changes to the way Etsy now rank search items using relevant titles is the way to get shopppers to see your items. Etsy has started to display search results sorted by relevancy rather than having items sorted by most recent.
Title content gives us the most control on how well our products will show up in all the online search engines. Even when I used paid for search engine adds that Etsy offers for $5 for 5000 impressions, $10 for 10000 impressions, $25 for 25,0000 impressions the ads would always generate better results when I put little effort in writing strong relevant titles for our products using the method here. On a side note I would recommend that if you really want to push your sells to a higher level than promote your items with Search Ads from Etsy. As the old say goes, "You do have to spend money to make money".
1. Write accurate and descriptive titles
First words of your title explain what your item is, for example if the item you're writing the title for is a set of vintage drink coasters your title may look like this:
Drink Coasters Vintage St Louis Baseball Card – vs – St Louis Baseball Card Vintage Drink Coasters
2. Use keywords you think a shopper may search
Put yourself in the place of your shopper and think of what words they would use to search for the item you are witting the title for. Next use the Google keyword tool to check if the words you can up with has high number of searches.

Buying Handmade Items Online
One of the greatest things that technology has brought to us is the ability to purchase items online. Many of us live in small towns and do not have the opportunity to shop at very many different shops. This means that the majority of people in town all basically have the same items because they have to shop at the merchants that are available to them, so unique personality styles and individuality does not happen because the stores can only offer so many items.
Since technology has introduced internet shopping capabilities to the people like this they have been able to expand the places they do their shopping and they can now purchase things that are not just like what everyone else in town has.
A lot of people have discovered that there are web sites that sell the things that are handmade. So someone in Idaho can shop for a handmade item from someone in Texas. This has opened a whole new world of customers and merchants, and it has created commerce back like it used to be when the individual could design and craft whatever their mind could envision, and they could sell these crafts to people that traveled through their area.
There are websites with selections of handmade blankets, and quilts, and clothing, and Christmas decorations. You can get handmade jewelry and furniture, as well as handmade objects to help you do your work more efficiently. It is like a door has opened that allows us to shop at every little flea market and craft fair across the country and while we are doing the shopping we can discover every unique boutique, and designer dress shop that exists.
We are no longer constrained by the physical location of our homes, and can instead allow our minds and imaginations hold the only limits to the possibilities that are open to us. If we want something then all we need to do is type the information into the search engine of our favorite browser and wait for the many different possibilities to come up.
When you buy online things that are handmade make certain you do go through a website that helps to guarantee that the purchase you make will be legitimate. Unfortunately scam artist do exist, but the websites that allow people who make and sell these items online to be found all in one place, usually provide safe guards for the customer and for the personal seller. Use a secure means of payment and do not give your credit card information out to just anyone that asks. To protect you there are several different sites that you can establish an account with that will complete the payment transaction for you so that you only give your information to them, and not to every seller out there. Good Luck.
How to Sell Your Craft Online Successfully
If you do something crafty like make homemade jewelry, or homemade clothing, then you are of course in need of tips on how to sell your craft online successfully. Anybody can place web pages on the internet that say they have an item for sale, but you must know the process to doing this correctly if you want to sell your craft online and actually be a success at it.
To start with you have to know a little bit about how search engine optimization techniques play a part in your ability to sell your craft online. When you establish an online shop or a set of web pages that detail the items you have for sell you must get people to become aware of the presence of your web site. To do this you need to get the search engines to suggest your site when people type phrase in that have a relevant connection to what you do.
In order to sell your craft online if you make homemade baby furniture then you want the search engines to suggest people go to your site if they type in things like homemade baby furniture, baby furniture, furniture for infants, and so on and so forth. The search engines like Google, Bing, and Yahoo, will all sell words to you to help you get your web pages recognized.
So to sell your craft online you may need to buy a word or a phrase that is relevant to your craft from the search engines, and then every time someone types in that word or phrase the address for your site is offered to them as possibly containing some of the things they want. So people type in baby furniture and on the page of suggested sites your address will appear.
That is good for you but actually you want your name to appear first, because people usually make their selections of sites to visit out of the top ten names offered, so you have to increase your rankings with the search engines. You need your pages to look more popular and look like they are more relevantly connected to the phrase than the pages of the other guys. So you start an SEO campaign to improve your rankings. These campaigns include getting other relevant sites to mention you in their blogs and in their script. Then the spiders will see the mention and follow the link from page one to you and voila you are starting to build a reputation.
Of course if you would like to be successful at selling your items and spend less time on the advertising portion of the success you could simply join a web site that is already established, and already sells the items like yours.
