4️⃣ Week 4 is here. This is the week we go live. πŸš€
Week 3 Recap: We built our listings. Photos, title, description, tags and pricing. The foundation is ready. This week we make it real. βœ… Your tasks this week: - Set your price using the N3D Price Calculator - Choose your strongest thumbnail - Publish your listing - Run Etsy ads for 7 days, even 1 euro per day is enough to start. The goal is data, not sales. Thumbnail: Your thumbnail should show the product clearly in context with a size reference so the buyer instantly knows what they are getting and can imagine it at their own event. Price: Add up your material cost, print time, your time, packaging and Etsy fees, then add your margin on top and check where that lands against what competitors are charging. On ads: do not expect to profit in week one. The goal is to see which photo gets clicks and which keywords bring traffic. That data tells you what to optimise next. πŸš€ VIP and Premium members: my full Week 4 course will be published this week. I show my exact listing going live, my thumbnail choice and how I set up my first ad campaign.

@Riccardo Tonelli I sharr my full prompt list in the Premium / VIP Tier but here is a allrounder: Transform this exact product image into a professional product photo. Keep the product exactly as it is, same shape, same size, same color, same material, same design. Do not change anything about the product itself. The product stays exactly as it is, only the environment and lighting change. Place the product as the clear focal point in a [SETTING, z.B. styled wedding table / rustic wooden surface / modern desk setup / outdoor garden party]. Surrounding props: [PROPS, z.B. small dried flowers and linen cloth / candles and glassware / green leaves and natural wood]. Lighting: [LICHT, z.B. warm golden hour sunlight from the side / soft diffused natural window light / bright airy daylight]. Background: soft blurred [HINTERGRUND, z.B. neutral warm white / outdoor greenery / elegant event venue], out of focus. Style: [STIL, z.B. Organic Modern / Clean Minimalist / Rustic Natural], high end Etsy product photography, ultra realistic, commercial quality.

@Megan Yarnold Good question and the short answer is: yes you can and should change them if they can be better. The idea that you should never touch tags and titles after listing is a myth. Etsy does take some time to re-index a listing after changes, usually a few days to a couple of weeks, so you might see a temporary dip in views. But if your current tags are weak, leaving them is worse than the short reset. My approach: change one listing at a time, give it 2 to 3 weeks and compare the stats before and after. That way you can actually see if the new tags perform better without changing everything at once.
