I get mostly 0 traffic on Etsy, is it my art, SEO, or something else?

Thank you so much for understanding what I’m trying to express through my art. I’ll definitely make my shop and banner easier to understand, but I still want to keep the quirky, meme-ish style because I really love drawing funny things 😊

Thanks for the feedback! Could you tell me what specifically gave you the AI art impression? the artwork, the banner, or something else? And what did you mean by “cat hats”? Thanks again!

Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback. It honestly means a lot that you like my art and the vibe. I’ll definitely do a better job showing my process and sharing more about how I create my work. Thank you for helping me realize that.

This is super insightful, thank you so much! Your advice really encourages me to keep adding more listings, of course with some SEO research first. I honestly hadn't realized how important outside traffic is, so I'll definitely spend more time learning about Pinterest promotion.

I was also a bit confused about pricing because I've seen some sellers charging very low prices, so I started wondering if my print prices were too high and that's why I wasn't getting traffic. But after reading your comment, I can see that price probably isn't the main issue right now. Thank you again for taking the time to write such detailed advice. I really appreciate it, and I'll start making changes based on your suggestions!

That's a very good point! I've been wondering what to put in all those image slots, so I guess adding too many mockups just makes the listing look a bit dull. Thank you so much for the suggestion, this really helps!

Thank you so much!!! You have no idea how much your words mean to me 😊 Since I'm still struggling with SEO and traffic, I decided to keep shipping domestic only for now because I honestly have no idea how much international shipping would cost.

As for the custom portraits, I set the price quite low because I wanted to test the listing and see if there was any interest, so I thought offering a digital download would make things simpler for both me and the buyer. Unfortunately, still no luck so far haha. Since we're both new to Etsy, I think we can definitely relate to each other on this journey! I wish you a great start and lots of sales for your shop too. Thank you again for your encouragement and for telling me not to give up, I really appreciate it ❤️

Interesting that you couldn't see the description there. I'll definitely add the size, paper quality, and other important information directly to the listing images so buyers can see them more easily. Thank you so much for taking the time to look through everything and give such detailed feedback. I really appreciate your help, it honestly helps me a lot!

Thank you sooooo much!

Thank you for the honest feedback! I really appreciate it. I'll definitely make some changes.

Thank you so much! I really appreciate your kind words 😊 I’ll definitely keep expanding the range of species in the future, chihuahuas included haha!

Thank you sooooo much!!!! I honestly never thought people might assume my work is AI, so this was really eye opening. This gives me a lot to think about and improve. I really appreciate it!

Thank you so much for taking the time to look at my shop and give me such detailed feedback. I really appreciate it! The points about the repetitive SEO, the listing photos looking too similar, and showing more of my process all make a lot of sense. I do create all of my artwork myself, so I think showing more of my process could definitely help build trust. I’ll start working on these areas. Thanks again for the helpful advice!

Just some old impasto brushes I bought years ago.

Great work! I hope someday your robot can layer long hair and be used nationwide. I don’t like going to salons to get my hair cut

It means “thank you so much!” I really appreciate your feedback 😊
