This is a do-it-yourself listing audit in 21 cards. Each card names one reason a buyer opens your Etsy listing and leaves without buying, gives you the exact fix, and explains why it works. You run it yourself, on your phone, in about ten minutes per listing. A 28-page instant download for sellers who already have listings live and cannot tell what is wrong.
They looked. Some of them even favorited it. Then they left.
You know the feeling. The views go up. A few favorites come in. And nothing turns into an order.
So you start guessing. Maybe it is the photos. Maybe the price is too high. Or too low. Maybe the description is too vague, or too long, or nobody reads it at all.
Here is the thing about guessing: you cannot check twenty-one things in your head at once. Nobody can. That is why sellers post their shop in a public group, ask strangers to be honest, then get told their designs are boring, and their photos look like everyone else’s, and come away knowing something is wrong but not which thing.
You do not need strangers. You need a list.
Why this costs less than a coffee
Because it costs me nothing to hand you a copy.
A consultant has to open your listing themselves and look at it, which is why they charge for each one. On Etsy right now, that runs about $23 for one listing. A full written shop review runs around $240.
I wrote this once. It works on every listing you own, and every listing you make from now on. So the price is what it costs me to give it to you, not what it is worth to you.
What you get
21 diagnostic cards, sorted into the 6 parts of a listing page: your photos, your first screen, your description, your trust signals, your buying steps, and how the whole thing behaves on a phone.
One exact fix on every card. Not “improve your photos.” The specific change to make and what to put there instead.
One line on every card explaining why that fix works. This is the part that stays with you. After a few listings you start seeing the leaks yourself, without the deck.
A Start Here page, so you know how to run it in the first minute.
A priority page for the evenings when you have twenty minutes, not two hours.
Free bonus: the 5-minute Bottleneck Diagnostic. It checks whether traffic, offer, platform, or market is really stopping your sales before you change anything.
28 pages. Instant download. Nothing to install, no account with me, no subscription.
What this is not
It is not a keyword tool. It will not research your tags for you.
It is not a shop setup guide. Your shop is already open.
It is not a course. It is a deck you use, not a thing you study.
And I am not going to walk through the 21 reasons on this page. You would skim them, nod, and change nothing — which is exactly the habit this is built to break.
How this is different from the Online Business Fix Plan
They solve two different halves of the same evening.
The Online Business Fix Plan helps you decide what to work on when everything feels broken at once. It is about the decision, and about why you keep not making it.
Use this deck once you know the problem is the listing page itself. It checks the page, line by line, and hands you the fixes.
If you are not sure which one you need, take the free 5-minute check first. It will tell you honestly, and it will tell you if the answer is neither.
How it works
- Buy it. The file downloads right away.
- Open one of your listings on your phone. That is how most buyers see it.
- Go card by card. For each one, ask yourself one question: Is this true of my listing right now?
- When the answer is yes, you found a leak. Do the fix printed on the card.
- Move to your next listing and start again.
Who this is for
Sellers who already have listings up and some sales coming in. A few a month, around a full-time job, with a shop that will not move past where it is.
You are aiming at something real, $1,000 to $3,000 a month, steadily. Almost every guide you open is written for someone who has never listed anything, or for someone already at thirty thousand a month. Neither one is you.
It is not for you if nothing is live yet. No listings means nothing to audit.
It is also not for you if you want to be told it is not your fault. This one is direct.
What you need
A free PDF reader. It opens on a phone, a tablet, or a computer.
You can print it, but you do not have to.
Nothing ships. This is a digital file.
The promise
Run all 21 cards against one of your listings. If you do not find at least three things worth fixing, tell me, and I will refund you. No form, no proof, no questions about your sales.
Keep the file either way. At this price, I would rather you had your money back and thought well of me.
Frequently asked questions
What is an Etsy listing audit?
It is a top-to-bottom check of one listing page to find what is stopping buyers from ordering. Not your keywords or your traffic, but the page itself. Photos, title, price, description, trust signals, and how it looks on a phone. You can pay someone about $23 to do it for one listing, or run it yourself.
Why do people favorite my listing but not buy?
A favorite means they liked it enough to save it and not enough to pay. That is almost always a trust or clarity problem, not a taste problem. Something on the page left a question unanswered, so they parked it instead of buying. Favorites without orders are the clearest sign the problem is on the page, not in your keywords.
How is this different from the Online Business Fix Plan?
The Online Business Fix Plan helps you decide what to work on when everything feels broken at once. Use this deck once you know the listing page itself is the problem. Many sellers use the Fix Plan first and this one second.
Will this work for my shop if I sell physical products?
Yes. Each card focuses on the listing page itself, not the product. Physical or digital, handmade or print-on-demand, the page works the same way.
Is this for beginners?
It is for sellers who already have listings up. If you have not opened your shop yet, start elsewhere. If you have listings that get views and no orders, this is built for you.
Is this about Etsy SEO and getting more traffic?
The cards help with both the click and what happens after it. Better photos and a clearer first screen mean more people click through in search, and the rest of the deck is about what they see once they land. It is not a keyword tool. If you need more people to find you first, look at the Etsy SEO Checklist — Audit Your Shop in 7 Steps and Rank Higher.
How long does it take?
About ten minutes for the first listing. Faster after that, because you start to spot the same leaks yourself.
What format is it?
A 28-page PDF. It opens on any phone, tablet, or computer with a free PDF reader.
Do I get anything physical in the post?
No. Nothing ships. You download the file right after you pay.
Can I use it on more than one listing?
Yes, as many as you like, for as long as you sell. No limit and no expiry.
I bought this on Etsy. Is it the same product?
Yes, the same file at the same price. Buy it wherever is easier for you.
Can I get a refund on a digital file?
Digital files usually cannot be returned. But my promise above still stands: run the deck on one listing, and if it doesn’t show you three things worth fixing, message me, and I will refund you.
Once you know what is broken
This deck tells you what is wrong. Three tools do the repairs.
If the description cards hit home, the Etsy Listing Description Workbook rewrites it properly.
If the title card hit home, the Etsy Titles Formula fixes it.
If the last card hit home, the one about pulling in the wrong visitor, the Etsy SEO Checklist sorts your keywords out.
License
For your own shops only. You may use it on every listing you own, now and in the future.
You may not resell it, share it, give it away, or use any part of it inside a product of your own.
