Friends, today’s episode is hopefully going to set your mind at ease about some things Etsy did in 2018 that set sellers ablaze with anxiety.

Etsy SEO Update

In September 2018 Etsy released a link to THIS.

And then sellers immediately tweaked out. Which is fair.

But I am here to tell you, again, that you do not need to panic about this.

Hear me?

You do not need to panic about this.

And truthfully, most Etsy updates and changes are not worth panicking over.

In today’s episode:

• Discussing the “new Etsy SEO “
• Putting things into perspective
• Explaining what is actually new and what is unchanged
• FACTS
• Breaking it down so you understand Etsy’s likely thought process
• The GOOD THINGS that Etsy is doing now
• Tough love? Regular love? It’s one of those.

I really hope this helps clear up some of this Etsy jargon and misunderstanding. I cannot even count how many crazy myths and rumors I’ve heard about all of this!

One of my main goals in my business is to help sellers think for themselves on and off Etsy and become more proactive and have more authority in their businesses even when selling on third party platforms.
