The Simple Mistake Costing Digital Sellers & Etsy Shops Sales (And How to Fix It)


Hi, Reader

I hope you’re doing great!

Hey [First Name],

Did you know that adding Text Alternative or alt text to your images could be the easiest way to increase your sales? It’s a simple step that many digital sellers overlook!

alt text is a brief description added to images on websites and digital platforms to explain what the image is about.

Here’s why alt text is so important for your listings:

🌟Searchability (SEO Boost)
Platforms like Etsy, Google, and Shopify read alt text to understand what your image is about. If you include relevant keywords in your alt text, your listing is more likely to appear in search results.

For example, if you sell a printable meal planner, instead of just writing:
🚫 “Planner”

You could write:
🌟“Printable meal planner for busy moms – Weekly meal prep template with categories for desserts, entrees, and drinks”

This makes it easier for search engines to categorize and recommend your product to the right customers.

🌟Accessibility (Helps Buyers with Visual Impairments)
Screen readers use alt text to describe images to visually impaired users. If your listing has great visuals but no alt text, some shoppers might miss important details. Adding clear, keyword-rich descriptions not only boosts your SEO but also makes your store more inclusive! 🚀

🌟Use Great Mockups – High-quality mockups are a must! A well-crafted mockup shows your digital product in action. For example, if you sell a meal planner, show it on a kitchen counter or on a tablet in a realistic setting. The more professional and real your product looks, the more likely buyers will be interested!

Taking these steps can really help boost your visibility and make your store more appealing to shoppers.

It has helped me! According to eRank, I’ve sold more items than 95.5% of Etsy shops, putting me in the top 5% of sellers!
