et.sy and instagram

[depifish]

Hello! I have successfully (so far...) opened a new shop a couple of months ago, and it seems fine. I have uploaded only 5 products so far and I asked a friend to place an order and everything is fine so far.
Now, I would like to start using facebook and instagram again. I was thinking of changing name on my old instagram and facebook page and use my new brand, is it possible to link it somehow to my old et.sy account? Is it possible all these old photos on my old instagram link to my old shop? By the way, I have already logged in to my old instagram with my smartphone that I use to log in to my new shop but nothing has happened yet! Doesn't seem to link to each other I suppose but I'm not quite sure if I have just been lucky until now!

You have done the hard part by getting back on Etsy - why put it at risk now?

I'm trying to find ways to promote my work, so I believe social media like instagran, facebook page and pinterest are necessary!

Start your own website and promote it with your social media instead of promoting Etsy.

I want to use FB marketplace to send people to a product on my new stealth etsy shop. But I've used my FB before in the same way to send people to a shop that is now deactivated. Can Etsy track where inbound links are coming from? I could create a new FB account but marketplace is so finicky I'm sure they won't let me use it consistently as a new account.

I remember about 2 years ago etsy had great traffic. Now you need to bring your own. Even with their new marketing its horrible! Tried shopify and its even worse for traffic. I need a social media/marketing guru!

Defintely Etsy knows where inbound links are coming from, if someone clicks your shop link from FB, at the Etsy backend you will see traffic coming from Facebook.

What I'm interested in knowing is how specific is is he tracking, does Etsy also record which profile/page does the link come from?

Come to think of it, that's probably how my stealth shop got deactivated. Because I sent shoppers to it from my personal facebook. And Ive used that fb to send links to my shops for friends before I was banned. Pretty sure I made marketplace adds for the shops too but in every case I would have just copied a link and sent it through messenger or the comments. I'm sure I did everything else right with the new stealth shop because I dont have trouble creating new stealth anymore. Most trouble I get is suspension but this was all out deactivation. So to be on the safe side I would assume yes, they can track which FB profile is sending traffic, even though I don't know how

Shopify is just a tool, doesn't brings you any traffic or list your shop anywhere
