keep on watching because once Etsy bans
you you can never ever re-sign up for
the platform the traditional way and so
keep on watching this video because it's
essential that you do watch the entire
video to really get this strategy that I
personally use myself so I will never
get banned permanently from Etsy and you
won't either remember to like subscribe
and hit that notification Bell for more
and remember to watch the entire video
to get this great method that I'm about
to share with you so now back about I
want to say at least seven years ago
when I first started to sell on Etsy
then I had an account and I was selling
items on there at a you know at a pretty
decent rate it wasn't great but I had
only about I want to say seven or eight
items I was learning how to sell and
this was right before I started print on
demand as well and this is one of the
reasons why I only had a few items in
the store at the time but what began to
happen is some of my listings actually
got taken off of etsy and this is
actually because a represent have
actually reached out to me and told me
that because I didn't have let's just
say an Etsy tag on the very top of the
page I didn't have the description in
the actual tag that Etsy requires you to
sell to sell on the platform to say that
I made the items myself which I actually
did and so a representative actually
reached out to me and apologized for
taking the listings off and I was able
to put them back on but this was still a
strike to my account and other strikes
have happened since I first started
selling on Etsy with using this account
obviously a lot of the reasons are
ridiculous a lot of the terms and
conditions on Etsy keep on changing and
you need to really be ahead of the times
especially with the listings that you
have active and so it got to a point
where I had one more strike to go and
every single one of my Etsy shops
because let's just say they only shut
down one of your shops and let's just
say you have five of them or six of them
or whatever even a hundred of them they
will essentially shut down all of your
shops a lot of the time but but I'm here
to tell you right now there is a way to
avoid this and so you need to keep on
watching the video to get this entire
method as I said before so essentially
what I did was very simply I said well
you know what if they're going to try to
shut my shop down after just one more
strike what I did was even before this
going back even before I made multiple
shops for different niches don't get me
wrong of course niches meaning like I
sold different products let's just say I
sold stickers I sold print on demand
items such as Shirts and Things of such
as that I've sold posters I've sold I've
sold little Christmas mugs I've sold
ornaments I've sold you know everything
under the sun jewelry anything that's
handmade vintage items I mean the list
goes on and on and on I dip my toes into
a everything I possibly could in terms
of my actual knowledge of e-commerce and
what sells on the platform such as Etsy
and I put in all my knowledge and I sold
a bunch of items based around what
actually sells on this platform so
anyway point I was trying to make was
one of my shops was being threatened to
shut down on Etsy that's he gave me a
notification that one more strike I'd be
off the platform and so what I did was
simply shut down the actual shot on Etsy
even though I was sacrificing over at
least I want to say it probably 3 000
sales even though I was sacrificing all
of those sales that I was getting on
Etsy at the time and you know the
rankings and all this stuff I said you
know what if I ranked before I can rank
again and you know what I did that exact
same thing every single one of my items
that I was ranking very high on Etsy and
I had all those sales well you know what
literally a month later just one month
it took me to get all my stuff back onto
other shops on Etsy into the appropriate
Niche store and to this day I am still
selling on Etsy and all I had to do was
just shut down that shop and I would
definitely recommend doing that exact
same thing like in terms of spreading
yourself out completely on Etsy what I
would say is my advice is to open
multiple shops that's what I've done
before and I would do it again because
listen to avoid etsy's ridiculous Ever
Changing terms and conditions and all
this you need to combat that yourself in
terms of obviously don't do anything
that is you know that is against the
terms and conditions of course on Etsy I
would never tell you to do that but what
I would tell you is to actually find a
way to you know to do what's in your
best interest and that is in my opinion
to open multiple shops which is not
against any Etsy rules and regulations
by the way that's used you know eBay for
instance has changed their terms and
conditions over the years and Etsy has
done the same exact thing for instance
so you don't want to be left out in the
dark what you want to do is open you
know let's just say five six shops and
really use them to your advantage get
those sales off there's nothing wrong
with having one store that only has 300
sales there's nothing wrong with having
one storage that has one store that has
over 2500 sales for instance that's
totally fine as long as you're providing
the best customer service as long as you
keep on selling these great items on
Etsy then it's going to be just fine but
in order to not get shut down and for
you to be left out in the dark from Etsy
forever then what I would say is open
multiple stores and of course if you
have one more strike against you like
let's just say if Etsy has this
notification via email that's what I've
gotten my notification from on the email
if I still have it I'll definitely link
it you know on this video but in any
case you need to make sure that you are
ahead of the game and you need to make
sure you're one step ahead of etsy and
their you know terms and conditions and
just do what's in your best interest
which is of course opening multiple
stores building a brand and so thank you
