What is everyone paying in ad fees? If at all...
 

Wondering what everyone is paying. I noticed your advertising limit mysteriously increases randomly as you increase your budget.

Currently paying $10/day, but I just got offered to double that.

I haven't done any advertising with Et.sy. Ever. Like even before I was suspended the first time. Do you find it creates a lot more sales?

I always sort of thought with the risk of suspension it might not be worth it for me.

Well, to be clear, I'm referring to Google Shopping. I do not advertise within Et.sy itself. And yes, it helps quite a bit for me so it makes it worth it. I mean, Google Shopping is literally how I survive with all my stores across the web.

Interesting to know, I tried google shopping years ago and never got much from it at all. May have to sort out my data feed and give it another try. :)

Right, this is what I'm doing at the moment:

I had £10 Etsy ad limit all December and january, now they bumped me to £20.
I used £10 across 10 or so products, but since yesterday I decided to test a different method and I've put all £20 for 1 of my best selling items(80% of my income) and I'll see how it works, or if it works.
I'll roll like that for about a week or so and see if I notice a difference in traffic and sales and if everything goes horribly wrong, I'll just go back to spreading my ad money between 10 or so listings.

I also spend a fiver on Google, but thats kinda meh.


I'd love to be better at ads, as I believe I could easily sell more, but I know NOTHING about Google Shopping or how to generate more traffic to my Etsy store from outside of Etsy itself.

If you have a sugggestion, hit me up.

I did et/sy ads once, a long time ago, and they did not do anything for me. I got best results out of title/tags optimization
