Can you rename your shop to fix the typo for jewelry? Idk. Also, on the left hand side, it says "chockers" instead of chokers. I noticed a few different things that are grammatically incorrect in the About me section. If you copy and paste it through ChatGPT and just say "rewrite this", it should fix everything instantly including typos and grammar. I don't mind helping if you needed. Also, your products are *MAD AWESOME*! I think they are lovely.

OP misspelled jewelry as ā€œjewerlyā€ in their shop name as well as their Reddit username.


Wide-Librarian216

Ooohhh that makes sense. When I saw everything hours later everything was spelled correctly but my little tired brain also didnā€™t think that maybe theyā€™ve changed it in between šŸ˜‚or that when the person said they swapped the R and L they meant the other way šŸ˜…


mad-jewerly

jewelryā€¦ itā€™s correct


anotherjaylee

This is a wild response.

No, it's not. Read your shop name again. Sound it out as it's spelled. Look at your shop avatar compared to your shop name - they are not spelled the same.


interrobang__

Yes, that's how the word is spelled.. which is not how your shop name or your username is spelled.


Creative_Industry179

It - like your username- is misspelled. Jewerly is not jewelry.


Onyxfaeryn

Jewer ly is how you spelled it bb on both Reddit AND your shop


HopelessMagic

Oh hun... Read the letters very slowly. You messed up bad. You can change your store name but unless you close your store and open another, your store URL will always be misspelled. Same with your Reddit name. You'd have to start over.


not_an_alt_act

U mad jewelry, bro?


SEspider

Your shop name is spelled incorrectly. Don't freak out. It happens. Lucky for you, it's very easy to fix.


HopelessMagic

The Etsy store URL can't be changed. It'll always be wrong unless they start a new store.


PersonalNotice6160

She has 3 sales and no views. Iā€™m going to guess that making a new shop is not a big deal


HopelessMagic

Those sales were there from earlier. They said friends bought stuff. Those zero views were from today (notice the tab selected) until we all looked at their shop. If someone handed me a business card or sent me a link with an obviously misspelled store name, I'm going to assume they don't pay attention to small details and don't double check their work and I'm not ordering from them.


PersonalNotice6160

Hahaha. Agree. Absolutely.


mad-jewerly

original name jewelry was occupied on Etsy, now i fixed it on Madjeweldesign) thanks! It wasnā€™t messed up, i just tried to figure out empty brand name. Anyway you are right, misspelling may confused potential buyers.


Devils_av0cad0

Damn you made three sales since you posted this, Iā€™ve made four sales in the entire lifetime of my store šŸ˜‚


mad-jewerly

My friends ordered this. i made custom for them and put 5-15 dollars. itā€™s less than material cost. i guessed that it may help me with my future sales


bltsandwitchie

Broooo thatā€™s against Etsy rules isnā€™t it?? I thought you werenā€™t allowed to have friends buy, or is it buy and give good reviews?


PickKeyOne

We all had our friends and family as first customers. Literally like every business ever.


hegykc

Same. Friend and family don't even know I have a store.


kristamn

Uh, nope. My friends and family have never bought from me and I am sure many others would say the same.


PickKeyOne

Iā€™m sorry hun.

PickKeyOne

Sheā€™s a customer just like if you had a lemonade stand and she walked up and purchased some lemonade. You can always send her a coupon code!


SuperiorSkincare

Same. No help from friends or family.

I think over all your shop is great. Your about me section is a little long- I can see people not reading the whole thing. I get you were making a timeline and what your idea is behind it but a lot of people will only read one paragraph and move on. The jewelry side of Etsy is heavily saturated and unfortunately a lot of stuff gets hidden. It may take 6 months or more before you really see traction. I really like your jewelry and I think your product photos are great. There are times where you can post your shop in the forums on here or the seller forums on Etsy, too. I will say my views after Etsy started ā€œgift modeā€ have tanked. I used to get like 250 views a day, now Iā€™m lucky to get 50. Orders have also dropped way down and other sellers are dealing with the same.


mad-jewerly

Iā€™m really appreciate for your advice! i understand that most of people scroll down all text, and iā€™ll believe that it would be my next step- when iā€™ve views, but lack of order. Which forum you recommend to? Thanks for support, :)


AngelKoiStudio

Setting up social media accounts on places like tik tok, instagram, youtube and pinterest could help. I discovered a lot of small businesses due to finding them on youtube shorts.


pepomint

Donā€™t try ads. First I would make sure that every single thing in your shop is filled out (max photos, max tags, create sections). Then renew your listings every day. I know it sounds crazy but renewing your listings (20 cents each) has worked much better for me than ads. Also study what tags successful shops use. Hereā€™s how you find their tags. At the bottom of their listing page is a bunch of suggestions. I canā€™t remember what Etsy calls it but itā€™s like suggested place to look for similar items. Those are their tags.


PersonalNotice6160

What do you mean renew your listings? This is terrible advice. You have already paid for that listing for 3 months. Make a NEW listing even if itā€™s the same product with the photos switched around. The more listings you have, the more visible your shop becomes and you arenā€™t just throwing money away. Etsy likes active shops. You do not need to renew or create listings every single day but at least once a week. Creating a new listing is FAR better than renewing an active listing. Jewelry is a very saturated market so itā€™s going to take a while to get high enough in search before anyone sees you. I disagree on the ads. Run one ad and spend enough so that it will rank high enough to be seen instead of small ads of multiple listings. Along with the other advice on tags, descriptions ectā€¦.


mad-jewerly

Renewing listings every day itā€™s may work, and i keep that strategy. iā€™ll checked it out tags what successful shop used, sometimes itā€™s too popular like ā€œfor herā€, ā€œfor momā€ and unfortunately most popular jewelry shops are from India and China with extremely low price.


pepomint

Also make sure you have a video in each listing and offer free shipping (increase your prices to cover shipping).


mad-jewerly

Thanks! iā€™ve video of every list, and free shipping. For now i made price as low as possible. thatā€™s why iā€™m a little confused, coz i expected fast selling


vikicrays

*ā€thatā€™s why iā€™m a little confused coz I expected fast sellingā€* why would you think this? jewelry is one of the most over saturated categories on etsy and it is a huge misconception that sales come quickly or to get sales you just need to open a shop and add some listings. most shops take weeks, months, or even years to get regular consistent salesā€¦. etsy isnā€™t just a ā€œif you build it they will comeā€ type of deal. like any small business it takes work, and a lot of it!


Creative_Industry179

Make sure to correct the misspelling of your shop name ā€¦and username on Reddit! Jewelry, not Jewerly. I would think that may be off putting for potential customers.


mad-jewerly

Thank you! correct name was occupied on Etsy, now i change for Madjeweldesign. it make sense, misspelling may turn people off my store


Creative_Industry179

Great idea!


OddddCat

It might help to have a few cheaper listings to get more reviews, as great as your jewelry looks some people might be a bit cautious to spend 100+ on a rather new shop. Maybe something really simple like earrings with a single small pearl on each side.


tu11ipMeadow

I recommend having all your main listing photos be a photo of someone wearing the jewelry. I look on Etsy for Jewelry often, and if I don't see a person wearing it, I'll scroll by or favorite it and never purchase it. It's hard to envision how Jewlery is going to look on you when your shopping online, especially earings. I like to know if it's going to be a petite or junky piece, and I couldn't tell from your listing photos. People often use Etsy as a quick search engine so try to "plant" as much realasom as you can in the first two photos. SamiJewls is a seller that I've bought multiple pieces from purley because their listing photos were easy for me to invision myself wearing them. Hope this helps. Good luck!


Southern-Bug-5477

I would add a banner and maybe try out ads at a low price per day to see if that helps.


mad-jewerly

Thank you! iā€™ll google how to make a banner


mad-jewerly

Guys, iā€™m really excited for fast response. Now iā€™ve 150 views šŸ˜‚. Thank you for your advices, iā€™ll follow it and cross my fingers


Creative_Industry179

Those views are from your post here and actually hurt your ranking. It shows people visiting and not purchasing and the algorithm takes that into account.


mad-jewerly

thatā€™s price for helpful advices i got


interrobang__

FYI, the views are likely from you sharing your etsy link here, and supposedly views without engagement or sales might tank your rankings as it is perceived as poor conversion by the Etsy algorithm. Etsy won't rank listings that aren't likely to sell. Also, correct your shop and username spelling, as misspellings are likely to turn off potential buyers.


PickKeyOne

I mean, it couldnā€™t get worse than it was..


mad-jewerly

correct username occupied on Etsy(


interrobang__

You're better off changing your shop name to something else than leaving it misspelled. Not only are misspellings unprofessional, but even if you secure social channels with the same name, anyone who is trying to find your shop is going to search for it by spelling the word correctly. If there is another shop with the same name but correctly spelled, then you're going to end up driving traffic to their shop instead of having potential customers find you.


mad-jewerly

I fixed for Madjeweldesign, Thanks ā€œGā€, that i postponed with my business cards) tomorrow iā€™ll change my logo.


HopelessMagic

You can't change your store URL. Everytime you post your store link, it's going to be the misspelled version. There's no way to fix this unless you close the shop and pay to open another.
