That poor dashboard.
We’re so busy running our businesses, we don’t have time for this nonsense.
I can name 5 or 6 useless buttons taking up real estate in my Etsy shop.
All this is contrived by wholesale talentless bean counters.
Leave us alone, no more psychotic numbers garbage, we’re very busy.
I just learned today that I could omit irrelevant phrases which brought shoppers to my listings via Etsy Ads! Apparently taking the time to do this helps teach their AI? I haven’t been impressed with Etsy Ads. I’ve tried them several times since they were renamed from Promoted Listings but have been unimpressed. I turned them on again at the beginning of February and they worked pretty good. LAST MONTH. I’m barely breaking even this month but, at this point, I’ll finish out the month for the heck of it. And the tax deduction. 😉
Absolutely worthless. And Dangerous too, as it sucks your money subconsciously.
I tried many many times, on and off, on and off. Except pretty numbers of viewing and clicking, does nothing else. Etsy Ads is a money-making swindle.
I haven’t used Etsy ads, but when it was Google ads you could select the items you wanted to promote. Did it change to just promoting your entire shop?
