    I'm sharing a brand-new Etsy shipping update that finally makes it easier for UK sellers to ship confidently to U.S. buyers. This change removes surprise customs fees, reduces disputes, and opens a much bigger buyer pool — just in time for the holiday rush.

    Here's what I cover:

    • The major shipping upgrade Etsy just released for UK sellers

    • How Royal Mail Duties Paid works inside Etsy

    • Why U.S. buyers won't get surprise customs charges anymore

    • How this update helps reduce delivery issues and disputes

    • What sellers still need to watch out for (fees, pricing, handling charges)

    • How to use Etsy's new U.S.-only pricing feature to protect your margins

    • Why this makes selling to the U.S. more realistic during the holidays

    • What to expect moving forward with tariffs and international fees

    This update is a big deal for Etsy UK sellers who have avoided shipping to the U.S. because of customs headaches. Now you can expand your market and keep things running smoothly with much fewer surprises.

    Here's the link to submit a help ticket to Etsy: https://help.etsy.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?segment=selling&ticket_form_id=360000108008#issue_sell_manage_listings

    I'm diving into the ongoing Etsy search visibility glitch that's causing listings to disappear from search entirely. Sellers are seeing their traffic drop to zero overnight, their exact-match titles not showing up at all, and their shop analytics collapsing with no clear explanation from Etsy. I walk through what's happening, why this glitch is spreading, how sellers are testing their listings, and the urgent steps you need to take to escalate this to Etsy before it damages your shop long-term.

    You'll also hear updates straight from Etsy forums, what moderators and engineers are saying, and the temporary fixes some sellers are experimenting with—like vacation mode—along with why you should be cautious. I also share the direct help-desk link so you can skip the confusing menu and submit a proper case with screenshots in minutes.

    What I cover:

    • What the "total search invisibility" glitch looks like

    • Why exact-match searches aren't showing listings

    • What Etsy moderators and engineers have acknowledged so far

    • Why submitting a help ticket is absolutely critical

    • How mass escalation speeds up Etsy's internal response

    • Temporary fixes some sellers are trying (and why to be careful)

    • How to track updates and report back if Etsy responds to your case

    If you're being hit by this glitch, you're not alone. The faster we escalate it, the faster Etsy fixes it—and the sooner your traffic can recover.

    Sellers everywhere are suddenly seeing their Etsy traffic collapse—and many are realizing their listings have gone completely invisible in Etsy search. I'm walking through what's actually happening, how to check if your listings were affected, why this glitch is impacting sellers differently, and what actions are safe (and unsafe) to take right now.

    You'll see how I test visibility using exact-match searches in incognito mode, why vacation mode is a trap, what Etsy moderators have confirmed, and the real reason this bug hurts Etsy financially—making it something they must fix. I also explain how to avoid panic moves that can tank your shop long-term, plus smarter ways to diversify your traffic sources.

    I wrap up by sharing how I'm helping sellers protect their shops, grow long-term traffic, and stay motivated—even when Etsy throws a curveball.

    What I cover:

    • What Etsy sellers are reporting about "total search invisibility"

    • How to check if your listings were hit (exact-match method)

    • What Etsy moderators have officially said so far

    • Why this is NOT a de-indexing issue

    • Dangerous "fixes" sellers are recommending (and why to avoid them)

    • How vacation mode destroys your search ranking

    • What Etsy actually has to lose if this continues

    • What to do while waiting for Etsy to fix the issue

    • Smart moves to diversify your traffic without abandoning Etsy

  • Do More Etsy Listings Equal More Sales? (This WILL Surprise You)
    Nov 17 2025

    👉 https://www.skool.com/etsygamesvip/about

    I get asked this all the time as an Etsy coach: do more listings actually equal more sales—or are you just burning yourself out uploading random products? In this episode, I walk through real shop examples, my own $550K+ shop data, and the five big factors that actually move the needle for your sales.

    Here's what I cover step-by-step:

    • The real relationship between listing count and sales

    I share how many listings my best-performing shop has, when sales really took off, and why the number alone doesn't guarantee results.

    • Real Etsy shop examples (high and low listing counts)

    I pull up multiple pet-related shops—from 1,000+ listings to under 20—and show how some shops crush it with tons of listings while others win big with just a handful.

    • High barrier vs low barrier products

    I explain why more specialized, complex, or equipment-heavy products can win with fewer listings, and why low-barrier niches (like POD shirts and mugs) usually need more listings plus stronger differentiation.

    • Random listings vs serving a clear target market

    I use a simple "road" visual to show how scattered, unrelated listings confuse the algorithm and your buyers—versus building product lines that all serve the same ideal customer and feed each other traffic.

    • Passion vs chasing quick money

    I talk honestly about why shops built only for fast cash usually quit, and how caring about your niche gives you the stamina to push through slow seasons and competition.

    • The Ultimate Etsy Traffic Challenge & app

    I walk through my 28-day Etsy traffic challenge inside Etsy Games VIP, including the app I built that gives you daily tasks, tracks your points, and rewards you for consistent action.

    • Throwing mud vs strategy with your listings

    I show why "I just need 100 listings" is a trap, and how to use your data to decide which listings to create next instead of randomly uploading whatever's on your list.

    • Improving vs staying stuck in the status quo

    I wrap up with a mindset shift: how to constantly improve your photos, descriptions, and product lines, and how to outwork and out-iterate your competition over time.

    If you're stuck at "I have listings but no sales," this episode will help you understand what's actually missing and how to build a smarter, more strategic Etsy shop that grows long term.

    I help Etsy sellers who feel completely lost on what to sell, pick a profitable niche and build a product line that can actually scale. I start by showing you how to choose a niche you're passionate about (so you don't burn out chasing random trends), then walk through real demand and product research using Etsy Marketplace Insights plus tools like Alura, EverBee, and eRank.

    You'll see how I filter down to high-demand products, test niches the smart way, and use a "1,000 product" mindset to avoid dead-end ideas. Then I take a dog portrait example and turn that single idea into an entire product line with breed-specific SEO, style variations, and strategic pricing tiers that signal to the Etsy algorithm you're the go-to shop in your niche.

    By the end, you'll know how to:

    – Choose a niche based on passion and demand

    – Use Etsy Insights and third-party tools to validate product ideas

    – Avoid "yard sale" shops by committing to one focused niche

    – Turn one idea into dozens of profitable listings with variations and bundles

    – Leverage the 80/20 rule to double down on winners and expand into new niches (like cats and full pet art brands)

    If you want feedback, strategy support, and hands-on help implementing this, I also invite you into my Etsy Games VIP community where we dig into your shop, niche, and product line together.

    I'm breaking down one of the biggest struggles Etsy sellers face — choosing between building a niche shop or chasing trends. I share the real differences, the pros and cons, and the long-term impact on your business so you can stop guessing and start growing with clarity.

    I explain why niche strategy creates sustainability, consistency, and repeat buyers — and why trend-chasing creates burnout, stress, and short-lived wins. I also walk through how to blend both strategies the smart way, so you get steady evergreen income while still capturing seasonal and timely spikes in traffic.

    Here's what I cover:

    • Niche clarity and why it brings better long-term results

    • Trend chasing pitfalls and why most sellers burn out

    • Sustainability vs. speed — which actually grows faster

    • How to incorporate trends without losing your shop's flow

    • Smart ways to blend niches + trends for double the opportunity

    • How to avoid trademark issues when using pop culture

    • Why passion matters when choosing your shop direction

    • Building a cohesive shop instead of a "yard sale look"

    I keep it real and strategic with practical, easy-to-follow guidance you can implement today.

    Nov 7 2025

    Etsy's new CEO, Kruti Patel Goyal, just revealed her first major vision for the platform—and this could reshape how sellers grow, get traffic, and use AI on Etsy. I'm unpacking all the key takeaways, what they really mean for sellers, and what to expect next.

    • Etsy's plan to use AI to amplify human creativity, not replace it

    • How traffic and discovery are evolving (and how offsite ads + ChatGPT integration play in)

    • The truth about SEO changes—why shorter titles might help or hurt

    • The new enforcement push on handmade vs. AI-generated art

    • Fixes coming for seller support, international shipping, and multiple shop management

    • Etsy's roadmap for personalization features, analytics, and even in-person markets

    • My thoughts on whether these updates will help or hurt long-time sellers
