01:41you know find on the channel or just
01:42search Starla more printify
01:45rank or ranking and you should find it
01:49um but today we're going to be talking
01:51about reasons why your Etsy listings may
01:53not be selling I thought that this would
01:54be a great topic for today especially
01:56since there are a couple newbies here in
01:58the chat if you're new feel free to let
02:00us know
02:02um yay happy Friday okay everybody can
02:04hear us now good good
02:06um
02:07but one of the most common questions
02:09that we get is hey I've got all these
02:11listings in my shop but nothing is
02:13moving it must be my SEO well probably
02:17not your SEO is probably the last thing
02:19that you need to worry about in the
02:20order of importance the the priorities
02:22in this process of elimination that I
02:25like to go through when it comes to
02:27listings that aren't selling now a
02:30couple quick disclaimers about listings
02:32that that don't sell not all of your
02:35listings are going to sell
02:37um yeah they won't this is one of the
02:39reasons why sellers who have like 2 000
02:42listings in their shop it's just not a
02:46really good strategy
02:48um first of all you're gonna have to pay
02:50the listing fees for all of those
02:53um those get very expensive
02:56second thing is that typically with any
02:59you know Etsy Shop you're only gonna
03:02have a couple listings that hit that
03:04best seller status or that sell over and
03:07over and over again and that's
03:09completely normal you'll probably have a
03:12couple sales on your other listings but
03:16really you're going to have a few
03:18listings that get people into your store
03:21I like to compare this to you know a car
03:22lot where the dealership is going to put
03:25the beautiful sports cars out front and
03:28yeah like those are what get people in
03:31to the car lot but a couple people are
03:34going to drive away with a minivan that
03:37they don't put right up front so these
03:39listings that our best sellers are going
03:41to rank higher in search because they're
03:42going to have higher listing quality
03:44scores hopefully you're you know if
03:46they're getting a lot of sales they're
03:48also getting positive reviews these
03:50further to help your listing quality
03:52scores I think that's mine that's yours
03:56so I'm asking you to give it um that
04:00that will further help your listing
04:02quality scores and it will help them to
04:04rank higher in search so it's completely
04:06normal if you do have a few listings
04:09that do very very well and then the
04:11others are just kind of straggling
04:13behind absolutely normal but you can
04:17always make some improvements especially
04:20if you've got listings that have never
04:24sold at all so that's kind of what we
04:26going to be talking about today
04:28diagnosing those problems
