Start with research, not guesswork
Find Your Winners with eRank
Your product choices will shape every sale you make. By researching before you commit, you ensure you’re working on items that people are actively looking for, not just what you think will sell. This stage is about identifying products with strong demand and manageable competition so every step after this builds on a proven foundation.

Learn
We're working on new micro episodes, until they are ready you may watch the previously recorded webinars.
In Selling on Etsy Webinar Episode 2, you’ll learn how to research what buyers are actually searching for and how to spot products with real sales potential. While you watch, pay attention to how keyword data reveals both demand and competition — the same approach you’ll be applying this week with eRank to choose your high-potential products.
