Hi all, as this community is growing at a rapid pace, I've introduced a few new rules to ensure that posts contain enough context, and that shops are slightly more established before asking for a critique or advice on lack of traffic or sales.

See details here: https://www.reddit.com/r/EtsyDigitalSeller/wiki/index/

The main changes are:

Shop critiques:

Shops need to be at least 1 month old and have at least 10 listings.

✅ In your post you need to include:

• Context about your shop:
  1. what products you sell
  2. what niche
  3. and why you chose this
• At least one specific question you need help with
• Your shop link

❌ No IP infringement in your shop, no promotion (no product photos), no request to review individual products or listings.

General questions:

Unless you include context about your shop (see above), your post may be removed if it is very generic and has been asked many times before. For example, "How do I get more views?" Please search the subreddit for previous answers to this.

The same limits for shop age and number of listings apply if you're asking about your shop's performance, otherwise the answers will be:

• You need more listings
• You need more time

Thanks in advance. The aim here is to make this community sustainable and enjoyable for everyone to take part in.

As a community member reading milestones and wins, how would you prefer to see and engage with them? Any comments also very welcome.

View Poll

To keep the main posts focussed on questions and advice, from now on milestones and wins will only be approved as comments in this thread.

Please also share what you think contributed to your success, to help others in this community.

You can share your shop name if you want to, but it's also ok to keep it private.

If you want to promote your shop, please use the sticky "promote your shop" post instead.

Thanks and congrats!

Just a quick post to celebrate r/EtsyDigitalSeller reaching 1000 members! 🥳🎉 This is amazing given that we only started back in January!

Thank you for helping to make this a supportive and safe space for everyone, especially for the new sellers amongst us.

u/Pleasant_Bid629 has just run a few polls which give us a nice snapshot of some of our members. Looks like we have many sellers here in their first 3 months, and many sellers are in their first 100 sales. On the other hand we also have experienced sellers here with shops over 3 years old, and many of our members have sold over 1000 digital products!

So I want to thank both the new and experienced sellers for asking questions and taking the time to give advice and help others.

Let's keep making this community awesome together.

Generally promotion is not allowed in this subreddit, but this thread is the exception. Promote your Etsy digital product shops here! (and only here)

Please don't ask for feedback here. Please create your own separate post for that.

Please don't critique shops here or provide unsolicited feedback, but a few kind words are always appreciated I'm sure :)

A reminder that your products must be digital downloads.
