Etsy Ads Advertising - (7 Day Results)
About this video
The creator shares his first seven days on the new Etsy Ads, after Etsy combined promoted listings with Google Ads. Running what he says was a $20 per day budget, he reports 96,000 ad views, 875 clicks, 32 orders, $1,093.50 in revenue, and $142.15 in ad spend for the period he shows, and says he is raising the budget slowly to $25 per day for another week of testing. He says traffic appears split fairly evenly between Google and Etsy, and that the search terms report is one of the most valuable pieces of data because it shows what customers searched before landing in his shop. Reviewing individual listings, he notes some are roughly break-even, such as one with about $40 spent and four orders, while another he cites had 20 clicks, three orders, and $72.90 in revenue. His main advice is not to switch a listing off too early, because he argues a single additional sale can flip it into profit and build momentum.
