If you started an Etsy shop, I already know your mindset.
You are thinking people would just show up and start buying your stuff.
I was thinking the same way.
I also know that lots of sellers struggle with this because they don’t know how SEO (search engine optimization) on Etsy works.

Stop Guessing
Etsy works like a search engine. If no one is searching for your keywords, no one will find you.
So how do you know what people actually type in? Easy, check Amazon.
Amazon is the biggest online store out there, and their search bar gives you real keyword ideas.
Just start typing something related to your product and see what pops up. Those suggestions are things real people are looking for. If “dainty gold necklace for wife” shows up, that’s a solid keyword.
