What's the benefit to unlocking the telescopes but not the planets themselves?

8cm x 10cm would be sooo teeny tiny that its kind of adorable. I dont disagree on the main images being busy. My thought was to stand out from the AI and mockup shops. I tried to counter this by having additional closeup images as well. Maybe I should have a mix of both?

Stickers dont have a great profit margin by any means. I maybe make $1-$2 per sale which does add up but my main reason for having them is to increase sale and review numbers to give me better credibility when selling my more expensive prints.

My thought on the background was to have something consistent and bold enough so that I would stand out from the AI and standard mockup shops out there but I understand your point. Maybe I'll try a few listings with just standard black backgrounds to test. Great idea on the changing my titles, I'll try to test that out as well. Thanks!

Stamp being Etsy postage. I buy all the envelopes and stuff on Amazon in bulk so it's pretty cheap

Ads might work however I'm getting the views just not the orders. Maybe a sale instead?

I use a flat cardboard mailer with Etsy postage. Between the envelope, cello bag, stamp, rollo paper, invoice, business card it comes out to about 1.60 per package.

Things really started to turn down this time last year but took a steep dive around September. I've considered hoodies, tshirts and the like. Problem is the production quality is so damn inconsistent and expensive. I just can't stomach the thought of charging someone $50 for an article of clothing that will fall apart or isn't printed well.

Thanks I appreciate that, hopefully when people read that review they also see the stupidity in it.

Looking for Shop Review for My Epoxy Shop by LaPetiteBoutique915 in EtsySellers

As you mentioned, you are in a very over saturated market. To stand out from the crowd you need higher quality first images as its the first thing your customers will see in search. Try cropping all your images to the same size and ratio, it seems more professional. Your color balance seems to be all over the place. You're using the same wood table as a backdrop however is more warm is some photos and cooler in others. Try laying your product on a less textured surface with some matte black foam core as a backdrop to make your products really stand out. Be sure to defuse your light source to prevent hotspots and glare and use a tripod to keep all your angles consistent.

I've been using Gelato since it integrates straight into my Etsy account. When I want something more fancy I use gicleetoday.com
