Use Etsy rank to optimize your tags and titles to get more views. If you get too many views and no orders, consider retaking the pics / think about your products.
How many listings do you have atm?

I hope to read another post about your journey.

Goodluck.

Why did it get closed within 4 months? what happened for them to close it?

Im also early 20's, 21 to be exact. I started up my ETSYs 5/6 months ago. Sadly they got shut down 2 months ago. Before they got shut down I hit my record high of around £7k/$9k profit. I was absolutely gutted when they got suspended, and still am. I started up another account in a family members name and its slowly getting back up there with 5-6 sales a day (Its been a week or so). Unfortunately I have a really small family and I don't have names/addresses to use for multiple shops. Im going to give a stealth account a go soon so hopefully Ill get back up there with you guys. Its good to hear there are alot of others finding success early! good luck to you all, i will be following this thread to see how you all get on.

- 100£/ day - done
- 200£/day - done
- 500£/day - DONE

I sell mostly digitals so about 90-95% from the revenue it’s pure profit.
The ones you see already ‘done’are achieved with only 1 shop. I plan on opening more
Based on the previous results, I should be able to achieve these goals with 2 shops only
Will be posting pictures as the journey develops.

Hi guys ! I know I haven’t really been active on the forum but I’ve been busy on etsy

Today I’ve hit my 500£/ day ! with one shop.
Yesterday I was very close but couldn’t make it.

Today I know I did. When I woke up at 5AM this morning I was already at 250ish and I check the sales number by visiting my shop( can’t login from phone)
Will upload a photo when I get home.

Shop is 3/4 days old.

I guess Black friday will be a crazy day

Wow, that is amazing for an Etsy shop. There are tons of sellers who would be happy to do $500 (I don't have the Pound Sterling key on my PC) in a month, just scroll through Etsy's own user forums. My highwater mark on Etsy of $10k in a month happened in 2015, but nowadays I have happy to do $2k a month. But admittedly I don't spend as much time managing the shop as I used to.

Digitals, this and that. Spent a lot of time perfecting each listing though.

Black friday today, 2K so far <- link

Just hit 400 Sales.
Guess I’m hitting almost all my goals this month. (Maybe hitting that 10k profit as well)

@woky Could you please PM me? I would like to ask you a question.

[woky]

Hi guys,

I hit all my goals.
I hit my monthly goals in a couple days.
November stats
Will take a short break to redefine my goals and I’ll be back with more challenges.

Thanks to everyone watching and repling.
Total sales - 1500 and counting.

Wow! Thats really good!

1 Where did you finally opened your you shop, the UK? I read that you sais Austria or The Netherlands were good options, becuase they dont ask ID.
2. Did you where asked for an ID?
3. Are you using Direct Checkout or just Paypal?
4. I read you comment something about having 8 strikes and think you found a way to Etsy not close your shop. Could you share that via PM please?

1. Yes, UK. I find it quite easy to do so since I’m in the UK, therefore no VPN required.
2. No, no IDs or any other verification involved.
3. DC, it has integrated paypal.
4. It only works for copyright infringements. If you get suspended for something else it doesn’t work anymore.

I got my accounts back up, avg. around 1.5k/day in sales. Really happy to have made all but 1 of these thread goals in first 5 days of dec. 10k should be hit tomorrow.

When it comes to UK accounts its not as simple as Woky has made it out. I would always recommend operating under a VPN. There is ID checks for stealth info EVERY TIME! Make sure your account is verifiable.

Im looking forward to next christmas now, I quite enjoy the 5x in sales..

Hi,

Yes I did.
Grew instagram/ fb pages to over 500k followers.
But spent 0£ on marketing for this shop. All made through SEO.
I enjoyed some traffic from etsy. (Around 80k and 100k came from external sources)
I might do a blog. Going up from 100k views/ month is another source of income, but for now i’m just thinking about it.

Tron, I don’t know what ID verification you’re talking about but the way i create my shops doesn’t involve any ID verification or requests.

If you open the blog let us know so we can learn something!! lol
Whats your instagram?
