Etsy is a place where people go to shop for customizable products, gift items, decoration paraphernalia, etc. If you are selling on Etsy and if you want to survive the competition, you need to plan in advance. You need to create products that are popular for the particular season and event. For instance, this is the time of the year when you can sell products with fall theme. Few weeks later, you can start selling Halloween theme items, and then there will be Christmas and New Year season and you can sell products with Holiday theme.

If order to stat in the front run, you need to plan products in advance. If you do not already have fall theme items for sale, you are already missing a large chunk of the pie. Start creating fall theme items immediately.

If you plan to sell Halloween themed items, this is the high time you start creating products to reflect Halloween theme.

in order to sell on any platform, you need to understand the traffic on that platform. If you want to sell on ebay, you will have to understand that most of the people visit ebay to buy used items or low priced items. If you want to sell branded items, or luxury items you might not be successful. Likewise, if you want to sell on etsy, you need to understand that etsy is a platform where people go to buy customized products, gift items, hand made items, etc. Therefore, in order to sell on etsy you will have to understand this basic feature. On Eysu people do not visit to buy a random T-shirt, they go to buy T-shirts that they can gift to someone for some occasion, or buy handmade soaps that they can gift to someone for the holiday seasons. You need to plan for season and occasion in order to sell.
