I'm closing out the year by calling out the three biggest Etsy mistakes I've seen holding sellers back in 2025 and what to do instead going into 2026. I walk through why underutilized shop sections quietly hurt traffic and trust, how your photos and listing visuals directly control clicks and conversions, and why a lack of niche focus makes growth harder than it needs to be. I also explain how Etsy's algorithm uses your shop data, how to turn images into sales tools instead of placeholders, and how targeting a clear audience makes product creation easier and more profitable over time. If you want more traffic, better conversions, and a stronger foundation heading into the new year, this is the reset most sellers need.
