Hi all! this is my shop: https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/ClairesStudioCA As I mentioned in a previous post of mine, this is for a student project (basically a graded passion project). I make all of my designs 100% by myself (no AI). Because of that, unfortunately, I can only produce a listing every 3-7 days. So far, I haven't gotten any sales (besides my own purchase to make sure I knew the process), and as you can see by my stats, my visits are quite low. I've tried to emphasize the process a bit more (as that's something that might set me apart) through a "sketch -> final product" image and a timelapse video of me creating the design on each listing, and i always use tags (a blend of what i see similar shops using, what i think fits the product, and what i would search for if i wanted to see the product). I also "advertise" my products on pinterest, there i have more of a consistent posting schedule, right now I'm at 2.4k monthly views. But even so, I get very little (if not none) traffic to my shop from there. I'm not sure what else to do in my position besides just try and make more designs to list. I'm really hoping to see success (just a handful of sales, even) within the next 1 - 2.5 months to create a good foundation when I eventually present my project. However, I'm not really sure what I can do to get there, as right now things aren't looking promising. Any feedback or advice would be greatly appreciated!!

Hi everyone, For some context, I started using PrintShrimp as part of a student project (basically a graded passion project). The project in question is selling my art on Etsy in the form of posters. Through the Classroom videos on here, and from what I've seen from other guides, posting as much listings per day seems to be critical for success in selling posters. However, as part of my project, I can only create products in which the entire illustration is done by me from start to finish (no AI). With this in mind, I can only create one listing every 2-7 days (depending on how complex the illustration is). I feel like my listing schedule is setting me up for failure. I'm not sure where to go from here, if there's anything I can do to help my situation, or if it's really even as big of a deal as I think it is and I should just continue what I've been doing. Any feedback would be really helpful here!! :)

Hi everyone, A while ago (May 2025) I had the idea to start selling POD on Etsy. I opened my shop with no listings just to look around at the different features, I had some product ideas, but I stopped there due to life getting busy. I just left my shop sit there since it had no listings anyways. Fast forward to a few weeks ago (so August 2026), I got started again, and I've been listing products on my shop. However, I'm wondering if the algorithm still thinks I'm basically a dead shop and therefore isn't pushing my listings out as much. I know this likely isn't the only factor towards a lack of interest in my products (the amount of listings in a shop, tags, etc), but if my shop's age is slowing down my progress as a new seller, I'm wondering if I should do something about that (and if so, what's the best course of action)..?

Hi all! I ordered a print from my etsy shop for myself (just to make sure I knew the process of handling an order, as I'm just starting up my shop), I decided to measure my poster just in case, and the height of the poster (10") was cut off 0.125" short. Maybe this is just a one-time thing? Has anyone else experienced this before?
