My online vintage shop Frequency Vintage has been up and running 3 weeks now and going well. Since it is a side project things tend to go a little slower than I would like. My impatience kicks in and I want more views and sales NOW!!! But how? What are the best ways to bump your Etsy shop to the top of everyones favorites?
PART 1. Use all 14 of your Tags well:
When listing items, one of the key steps to having your shop pop up in a search is using relevant, descriptive, and inventive tags. Sounds easy, but for me it is one of the hardest parts of listing.
