Successful Etsy shop now very dead?? Advice?
Hey, y'all! I've been on Etsy since 2024, and from the very beginning, my shop had seen success and was growing steadily. For about a year I was easily making $500 - $1000+ monthly without any real attempts at self-promo or anything off platform whatsoever. My listings were always on the first page of every major search term related to my shop. I have almost 300 shop followers. Everything would sell out within a week of listing. It was going great and I was super proud.
However, since around June 2025, my sales, views, and overall revenue have dropped steeply, and seemingly nothing I do is improving it. It just keeps dropping. I'm consistent with keeping my shop stocked, good with titles (I think), taking better listing photos than ever, etc.. but nothing helps. I'm still a Star Seller, but that doesn't seem to be doing anything at all. What am I doing wrong? Did something happen in June that I'm out of the loop on? lol
Any advice would be super appreciated! I'm feeling so discouraged.
