Acronyms have a funny way of over-complicating things.

You’ve heard of SEO.

Maybe you even understand the basic concept of SEO.

But taking the time to fully dive into that fancy-sounding word (plus learning any Etsy-specific tips) keeps creeping its way down your to-do list.

Here’s the deal.

Focusing on Etsy’s search engine optimization (SEO) and weaving in strategic seasonal selling optimization (SSO) is KEY to your success.

Much more urgent than the ‘When I Have Extra Time’ section in your planner.

And the big secret is that it’s NOT HARD.

Instead of running away from a pretentious-sounding initialism, let’s just go ahead and replace ‘SEO and SSO’ with what it REALLY means:

Money. Making.

The Etsy SEO & SSO Guide Etsy Money-Making Guide (better?) is packed with easy-to-understand explanations and the most up-to-date tips for optimizing your handmade shop.

You’ll walk through everything from keyword research to listing title optimization so that your products are being seen by the RIGHT people – and driving sales.

Whether you’re a seasoned handmade business owner or just getting started, this guide is a must-have for anyone serious about MAKING MONEY on Etsy.

“I’m no longer afraid of stepping out with Etsy.”

“This guide was extremely informative. I completed all of the steps to set up an Etsy months ago but never pursued it. I didn’t understand it honestly even though I shop there daily. This e-guide explained everything and the steps were very easy to complete. After reading over this guide, I’m no longer afraid of stepping out with Etsy. My favorite part was explaining product names…another favorite part was explaining tags and backward planning. I was already on the right track but you confirmed it for me. This is genius and I can’t wait to implement them. I would recommend this guide to any business owner that’s ready to step it up a notch.”

“Let’s Talk Shopper Intent…

There are some handmade businesses that get their start on Etsy and then completely migrate over to another platform, but I will forever preach that keeping a shop open simultaneously on Etsy is a strong, smart business move.

Shoppers are going to Etsy with the INTENT TO BUY something special.

To be successful on Etsy, you need to think like your Etsy customer, and make Etsy business decisions based on this unique-to-Etsy shopper mindset.

By putting your time and energy into learning HOW these shoppers are searching the platform and how certain strategies can help your shoppers during peak seasons, you are bound to see an increase in traffic, conversion rate, and revenue.

Focusing on both SEO (search engine optimization) and SSO (seasonal selling optimization) will cast a wider net and have you ranking for more keywords, resulting in more eyes on your beautiful handmade products than you ever dreamed possible.”

“A book on SEO/SSO info that is a page-turner!”

“Absolutely loved this e-book. As I am beginning my journey getting my business off the ground this book was jam-packed with easy-to-understand and helpful information. It not only was a page-turner (I said it, a book on SEO/SSO info that is a page-turner!) it made me excited to jump into my work even more! I would 100% recommend this to anyone getting started, or looking to up their traffic and overall presence on Etsy. The section on alt-text was really helpful and I think really important for people to be doing for so many reasons – so glad you called this out and walked through it!
