One of Etsy's biggest competitors just announced they're shutting down — and the ripple effects matter way more than most sellers realize. I walk through why this handmade marketplace couldn't survive, what its closure reveals about traffic, buyers, and platform power, and why competing with Etsy is far harder than it looks. I also cover Etsy's recent $1.2B sale at a loss, what that signals about their strategy shift, and whether this could mean a refocus on core sellers. We talk competition, platform economics, declining GMS, tariffs, profit margins, and what sellers should realistically expect next. If you sell on Etsy or depend on marketplace traffic, these changes directly affect your future decisions and growth strategy.

I uncovered three sneaky Etsy niches that are quietly pulling in millions—and most sellers are completely overlooking them. I walk through real Etsy marketplace data and estimated revenue to show where buyers are actually spending money right now. I break down why these niches work, how they fit into existing shops, and how to use trend data without turning your shop into a risky trend-only experiment. I also explain how to expand your catalog the smart way, validate demand with Etsy data, and avoid common mistakes that keep sellers stuck chasing shiny objects. If you want more traffic, more sales, and a clearer path to scaling your Etsy shop without starting over, this will flip how you think about niche expansion.

If your Etsy listing feels completely dead, I walk through a clear, step-by-step system to diagnose exactly why it's not selling and what to fix first. I explain the difference between a brand-new listing that never took off versus an older listing that used to sell but suddenly stopped, and why that distinction matters more than most sellers realize.

I cover how long a listing actually needs to sit before you touch it, how to read Etsy listing stats correctly, and how to tell the difference between an SEO problem, a photo problem, or a conversion issue. I break down realistic traffic benchmarks, average conversion rates, and how many visits you truly need before expecting sales.

From there, I go deep into Etsy SEO — how to evaluate your search terms, improve your titles and tags, and choose keyword combinations that match buyer intent instead of guessing. I also explain why listing quality matters more than ever, including photos, video, descriptions, pricing strategy, and perceived value.

Finally, I zoom out to show how your overall shop, listing count, and niche selection directly affect whether individual listings succeed or fail. This is a full diagnostic framework you can reuse on any Etsy listing that isn't performing.
