The Top 3 Etsy Tools I Can't Live Without

Hi Friends,

As a fellow Etsy Shop Owner (in fact I have 3 shops), I know how time consuming researching, designing, optimizing and advertising a listing can be.  We are being pulled in so many directions each day and it's so easy to get overwhelmed.  Luckily there are some tools to make your life easier.  I have tried many and use several, but for today I want to give you my TOP 3 ETSY TOOLS I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT.

Makerwords:  if you only use one tool to do your keyword research, make it Makerwords.com.  Why? I am glad you asked :), it wins my heart and my wallet for many reasons, but first and foremost it's easy to use.

Simply type in a keyword you think might be relevant and almost instantly it tells you how many Etsy searches there are per month as well as showing you how that keyword is trending.  It's a great way to come up with keywords that have search volume for your product.

The other reason I love it is that it is very inexpensive.  At this time it is only $9.99 a month.  It's a sure bargain and the tool I use everyday.

Omni Profit Calculator:  This is by far the easiest way to calculate your profit margin for each product.  The best part is that it is FREE.

I use this every time I create a product to figure out my pricing based on my profit margin desired.

Alura.io:  Want to see what your competitors are using for their tags, or maybe you want to know how much your competition is making per month, or you want to do keyword research?  This tool does it all!  With 3 different pricing plans starting at $0 per month for New Sellers up to $29.99 a month, this is my go to tool when researching.  

Well there you have it!  My 3 tools I can't live without as an Etsy Seller.  What tools do you use on a regular basis?
