Track your Etsy competitors' listings

How much an Etsy shop make

How much can you make on Etsy? Well, it depends on how much effort you put into turning your Etsy store into a successful shop. 

Whether you're a full-time seller or a side hustler, the response would be different. 

Many sellers are making only a few thousand a year. However, the average successful Etsy seller makes nearly $43,000- $46,000 per year. While this number is a reasonable income, we believe many sellers are selling a lot more on Etsy.

Here are some tips and tricks for you to boost your shop and start being one of the successful Etsy sellers.

As we are talking about successful sellers, it would be really valuable and helpful just to look at their shops and analyze their listings. 

Almost all of the big sellers on Etsy are monitoring their competitors every day, learning from their successes and failures. 

It is recommended to follow at least the top 10 competitors in each niche you are working on. 

Using InsightFactory Etsy shop analyzer allows you to follow your competitors' stores and keep tracking their popular listings. You can also see the keywords they are using in their tags, titles, and descriptions. 

How to use the Insightfactory Etsy shop tracker to improve income on Etsy?

In the niche you're following find at least 10 shops that are bestsellers. Start searching for their names or the links to their shops on the Etsy shop analyzer page. Wait for 48 hours for InsightFactory to gather data. And start monitoring their sales and the last time they sold a product of a listing. 

Track your Etsy competitors' listings

7-day Sales:

This column can be considered the most important factor to look for in competitors' listings. It shows the number of sales for that specific listing in the past 7 days. So the data is fresh and reliable. Without this 7-day sale feature, you would find a listing that is selling a lot and may enter the niche just because of the high number of sales. The problem is that if they have not sold recently or in the past 7 days it means that it's not a good time to enter the niche and put effort and time into it. Perhaps it would be trending or popular at another time of the year. For example, there are a lot of listings that are selling most for Christmas. However, by the time that shopping for Christmas is over, there will be nearly zero chance to sell that item after the new year. So sort this column based on high sales in the past 7 days. 

Last sale:

The last sale shows almost the last time that the listing sold something. If the last sale column is showing Today with a lot of sales in the past 7 days, then don't hesitate that it's a hot niche. 

Views and favorites:

The number of views and favorites matters when you're researching for a list but keep in mind, that it can't be enough signal for the sale's number. However, the number of views for the last 7 days is still a good signal meaning that Etsy is showing it to how many people. If you're impatient to wait for 2 days until you get the results on sales and you want to spy on your competitors quickly then monitoring views can be helpful for the beginning. 

Release date:

The release dates refer to the time that the listing was created or to the time that it got renewed. You can simply find it out based on the reviews of the listing on Etsy if you're very curious about the release date. 

Tags and titles:

So make sure to research the tags and titles that the competitors are using for their listings but always use the tag and title generator of InsightFactory to generate better tags and titles. Then compare it with the inspired listings and if needed, optimise the keywords.

A lot of people are making really good money by selling their products on Etsy. In fact, because of the huge potential income that this site offers, a lot of people are now thinking about selling their products on it.
The problem is that many people don't know where to start and they're not sure what they need to do in order to make money with Etsy.
One way to increase traffic on Etsy is to look at what other shops are doing. This is especially true for best-selling items.

Even if you are not selling jewelry or other popular items, spying on competitors can be very helpful. You can see which tags they use and that way get inspiration for your own tags. Moreover, if you see a particular item that sells well, try to create something similar and put your spin on it.

But before we go into the methods, you need to know that when it comes to Etsy, there's almost always a correlation between best-selling products and top-selling shops. If a shop has a lot of best-sellers, then the chances are that their shop is also one of the top sellers on the platform.

So, the first step in finding best-selling products on Etsy is finding top-selling shops.

One easy way to do this is through the Insightfactory Etsy shop analysis tool.
You can search for any Etsy shop, and it will show you their most popular listings. From there, you can copy their tags and use them too!

Copy their trending tags and get inspired by their best-sellers.
