It's totally unfair. then etsy started this "shop update" thing recently. I kept seeing other people's shops on my homepage and wondered how they did that. You have to upload through their app on phone only, so more workarounds. Then you can share with IG so that's when I started getting a bit more active on IG but still have to learn all the tricks. I keep getting tagged by bots with the whole "free followers" spam. It's so annoying. What is the point of fake followers if they aren't actually going to buy your stuff? Pointless! |
Ahh.. I see. I once considered making stuff and selling on Etsy. Then I realized I wouldn't be making much and competition is too crazy fierce. Dropped that idea pretty quickly! I heard about changes on it too, that makes it even harder to succeed on it. Oh well.. best wishes to your business though
In regards to the spam. I hate it! I always always always report the account! And then I block the account. It's in the 3-dot option thing on the top right. All the spam violates I.G. policies.
