How I Get FREE Traffic to Etsy Without Paying for Ads

If you're relying on Etsy search to bring in your buyers or looking at ad spend and wondering if you can truly afford to spend money on Etsy ads, those aren't your only two options. Most sellers assume that they need to wait for the Etsy algorithm to start to favor their listings and work

on their SEO. Or on the other side, really feel like they can't afford to spend money on ads. But the thing is, is that there's a whole bunch of other traffic sources that sit in between those two that are pretty much free or close to it. So today, I'm going to walk you through

exactly what I have tested in my store and what I would recommend doing again without the big budget price tags attached. If you're new here, hi, I'm Caitlin. And around 12 months ago, I started selling AI artwork on Etsy at home with two little kids. And today, I've made over 6,000 sales and more than

$44,000 in revenue. So, what I'm going to tell you today is really not theory. It's exactly what I have implemented and tested in my own store over the last 12 months. And so a quick note before we dive in because when we talk about traffic sources, the traffic mix is a really important concept to keep in

mind. So if you watch my last video, you'll know that Etsy search only made up 11% of my traffic of one of my most successful stores. And the reason that I'm sharing that is because I want to make it quite explicit that search is just one of many channels that can really drive traffic to your store. Paid

ads do have a role in that, but I'm going to save that for another video because it's something that I am very passionate about and there's a lot of potential to help sellers really understand the metrics in those [music] Etsy ads and how to get the most out of their spend.
