i've been noticing a pattern that might prove pretty useful to etsy sellers.
of course, i shamelessly stalk successful shops to try to figure out what they're doing that i'm not. and it seems to me that the trick has very much to do with listing lots and listing often. on most of the shops that have my dream sales of 3-7 items a day, the date the last item on the front page was listed is generally the same as the date the last item on the first page of sales was sold. make sense?
i've been watching this for a while, and it really seems to hold true. list an item, sell an item. right now the last item on my front page was listed december 29th. and the last item on my first sales page was sold january 1st. pathetic, i know. now all i have to do is list 20 items a day and i'll be one rich bitch! ha.

Totes! You have to post often and keep things fresh. Also the Etsy site is sort of good and bad in that if you relist you move to the "top" of the queue whereas if you don't your items are buried, no matter HOW awesome they are.
i just read good advice on relisting - which i have formerly been quite the advocate of.
it goes:
relisting an item only puts you on page one for about 10 minutes. this is especially true for us vintage sellers.
it is much better to just constantly list new product. if you list something new each day, or even throughout each day, you will be on every few pages in the search engines.
you will be everywhere!
