How Relevant is SEO to Etsy?

If you paid attention, you'd realize how often the term "SEO" pops up whenever Etsy is being discussed. When there's a complaint about low sales, the first question you're asked is, "How well did you optimize your SEO?" and let's be honest; many of us have no idea what SEO means! Those who manage to know are clueless as to how it works.

The prevailing question then is, is SEO really that crucial a tool for marketing and overall sales in Esty? Better put, do I really need SEO?

Well, first, let's examine what SEO is.

SEO is an acronym for Search Engine Optimization. It is a useful tool for allowing sites appear easily when a keyword relating to its niche is searched for. SEO gives visibility and visibility brings traffic. This traffic in turn, converts to sales. And what store owner doesn't like sales, eh?

SEO thrives on keywords. Keywords are used to link to other words or information. Take for example, your store sells pieces of jewelry. You can't just state in your product description that you sell jewelry; you have to be way more specific. As specific as niching down to exactly what type of jewelry you sell: what it's made from; at times, its specification, its color, its texture, and so on.

Why is this necessary? So that you differentiate yourself from every other "jewelry seller" in the lot. If a buyer searches cufflinks, for instance, guess whose name will pop up? Yes, yours! Same applies if your niche is bracelets, bangles, bead jewelry, etc. All need to be properly specified. Keywords are meant to make you stand apart and should not be treated with levity.

If you're still clueless on how to go about the optimization of your Etsy store, seek the advice of a professional. Etsy has become too fiercely competitive to think a pretty banner and logo with a few listings would be enough to capture all the buyers you seek. It doesn't work that way anymore. You need to be strategically positioned for sales!

Etsy does offer its sellers various mediums to optimize SEO either in the shop setup, description, listings, or tags. All are made available so you can position your Etsy shop for the right type of traffic adequately.

For beginners, Etsy Hunt is a great tool to help you research for keywords pertaining to what you sell. It offers an analytical breakdown of product research, keyword research, shop rankings, and Etsy reviews. So make use of it, get your SEO right, and start making those sales!

I wish you the best of luck!

[snuggs-ratcare-official]

Welcome to Snuggs Ratcare Official!

Welcome to Snuggs Ratcare Official!

 An Indigenous-owned, small business dedicated to providing high-quality, affordable products for your small animals!

What is Snuggs Ratcare Official? 

Well, as stated above, we are a small pet care business. Our mission is to provide small pet owners with fun and affordable products that not only you will love but your pets will too. 

What do we sell?

Rat snuggles sell a multitude of products. All of which are handmade with love. Our inventory includes; treats, hammocks, and chews!   

Product descriptions:

Treats

Just like any other pet, rats- and any other rodent- LOVE treats. However, it has been proven difficult to find things that rats can actually eat. We make fun and yummy treats for your small pets! All hand-made and rat tested!

Chews

A fun fact: ALL rodents have teeth called incisors: a pair of teeth in the bottom and top of their mouth that never stop growing! To keep their incisors healthy and appropriately sized, they grind their teeth and chew everything. To help your furry friend you should always supply them with lots of things to chew on! That’s where we come in. All our chews are baked to kill germs, made with locally sourced materials, and are never made with harmful woods.   

Hammocks  

Rodents are quite lazy. Most love to lay around all day and play at night. Why not provide them with comfy places to do so?  We hand make hammocks of all sizes for your pets. All materials are washed before being used to ensure they are clean and won’t shrink. We make more than just flats so there is plenty to choose from and if nothing catches your eyes? Shoot us a dm and we will make customs!  

[Alt tag: Two photos of a singular rat hammock. The first one shows the top of the hammock from a birds-eye view. It is brown with black, green, and orange lizards as well as some white and orange flowers scattered around.  The second photo is of the bottom of the hammock which is green. Both photos have a soft white background.]

Why make a small business dedicated to pet rodents? 

Why? Why dedicate your free time to making products for an industry that is so small? Why not try a different route? Resin art is quite popular at the moment, surely that would make you more profit. Trust us, we know. The truth is we don’t really care about making a profit. What we care about is much more important than a few coins. We care about you and your pets. As small pet owners, we know the struggle of providing fun and exciting things for your pets. We have been the ones searching all night for just the right thing, only to come out empty-handed. We love our rodents and want to share that with the world. Here, at Snuggs, we want to give back to the community that has been there for us when we needed it.  We want to say thank you. That’s why we have chosen to open a small business dedicated to your rodents, and we promise, We are dedicated.

So, where do you get your fabrics? 

As we said before, we love and care for your pets. However, we also care about the environment. Did you know that 5% of all landfills are filled with clothing and fabric that could have been repurposed? “Globally we produce 13 million tons of textile waste each year 95% of which could be reused or recycled.” With that being said, we want to do our part in keeping Mother Earth clean. We only use recycled fabrics that we get from donations and thrift stores. All products are cleaned as soon as they are brought into our house to ensure that there is no dirty bacteria on them. We still suggest that you clean everything you get just in case.

Meet the team!

Our team consists of two rats and a very proud rat father. 

The boys 

No, not the Backstreet Boys, the Snuggs Boys. Who, in our opinion, are way better. 

First, we have Toby. Toby is my heart rat and he’s just the sweetest. He loves his snuggles, crawling right into your shirt to fall asleep in your warmth. He will take anything you have in your pockets because everything belongs to him. He will try to clean your mouth so keep your lips closed, he’s not a toad, he will not turn into a prince no matter how many times you kiss him. 

[Alt tag: photo of a small blond rat with big brown eyes and pink ears parched on the end of a cage level sticking his pink nose downwards.] 

And now we have Vinny. Vinny is 100% sure that he owns the place. He is super shy but gets sad if you don’t give him attention. Although Both Toby and Vinny are runts, Vinny refuses to accept that. Because Vinny has horrible eyesight he sometimes mistakes for fingers for treats. He doesn’t mean any hard, just very very blind.  

[Alt tag: picture of a small albino creamsicle rat looking up while sitting in a striped blanket.] 

And now there’s me, the dad of the two handsome boys and this lovely business. My name is Andrew, I’m 18 and I use he/him pronouns. I have always loved animals and one day I hope to own a farm with my husband. My boys are my everything. I love them with my whole heart and would do anything for them. I truly do care for everyone and their pets which is why I’m here today. I’m a child at heart and a punk at soul. I’m the human embodiment of a rat; food motivated and extremely cuddly.

[Alt tag; A photo of a pale indigenous male with big 70s glasses, dark green hair and neon green bangs cut into a shag.]

So, welcome to our small family!

We hope you will join us as we grow and as we work hard to bring joy to you and your family. 

Suggestions and questions are welcome!

Follow us on all socials!

 And don’t forget to pick up your own products from our shop!

Thank you!

And always remember all our products are Rat tested, parent approved!

Exploring the Abandoned Estate 1

Findings in an old greenhouse

Journal Entry 1

I was recently allowed access to an old estate, one which had very much fallen to ruin.

Passing through the local village, they spoke of the previous owner having rumored to be fascinated with the occult and alchemy, that was until his disappearance some years ago.

Many of them had claimed his disappearance was a result of making pacts with supernatural beings and that they finally came to collect. It would not surprise me honestly, I have seen it happen many times before but for now I am only here to ensure that "if he indeed dabbled in the occult" that their is nothing harmful left in his husk of an estate, would hate for some poor curious villager to turn themselves into a pile of ash just because they though something looked valuable.

I am still scouring the estate but nothing of interest yet, though while investigating the old green house I did stumble upon a lone mandrake. It would seem this one had been carefully uprooted and placed in a plant pot for study, their must be a garden somewhere that this one was dug up from.

[nofreakingwhey]

My friend Esty came for a visit in April. Having a vegan friend in town meant having company to check out the vegan restaurant Eat Street (now new owners, and new name: Sage). I always love when a place actually embraces veganism in addition to promoting delicious plant-based food, and that was definitely true of Eat Street. Some of the dishes carried over to the new menu, but the many dishes people write about fondly prior to the change in ownership suggests a devout following. I'm glad I got to try the Alfredo, my favorite dish of all time, which was spectacular.

We were enticed to try the vegan burger at KFC - it was so, so. But it's still exciting to see signs for vegan food all over the city!

Esty and I also did a little poking around in the charity shops (aka thrift stores) and she found this sweet My Little Pony jacket!

Next we went to the Linenhall Library. It's a beutiful building, has a lovely little cafe and, "is renowned for its unparalleled Irish and Local Studies Collection, ranging from comprehensive holdings of Early Belfast and Ulster printed books to the 350,000 items in the Northern Ireland Political Collection, the definitive archive of the recent ‘Troubles’." Definitely worth a visit.

7 Best Shopify Alternatives For Your Next eCommerce Store

When it comes to eCommerce, we're all too familiar with Shopify. The Vancouver-based startup turned eCommerce giant is one of the most used eCommerce platforms globally.

However, Shopify isn't the only eCommerce platform out there. You can pick a Shopify alternative for your next store. You've got options!

Yet with so many choices, how do you choose which is the right Shopify alternative to allow you to not only sell but grow your eCommerce store to the fullest?

Best Shopify Alternatives 1#: Wix

Best For: Wix provides easy-to-use eCommerce solutions and high-quality designs, customizations, and templates.

Pro's: Easy set-up, stunning theme options, and software built for developers.

Easy Set-Up: Wix is perfect for seasoned veterans and first time eCommerce owners who want to create an eCommerce store in a day without the help of a manual or step by step instructions. Once you understand how the tools work, it becomes a plug-and-play feature that allows you to get started instantly without much help.

Stunning Theme Options: Wix has stunningly functional themes that outdo Squarespace and Shopify. You can choose from a wide selection of themes based on your taste, website purpose, or industry. Each Wix theme comes with customizable designs such as color, text, layout, and more.

Built for Developers: Wix knows that not everyone who uses its platform wants to use a built-in theme. Wix created Corvid, a comprehensive web development tool and platform that allows devs and coders to create websites from scratch.

Con's: coding will be required at one point, limited integrations, and growth opportunities.

Coding Required at One Point: Depending on how advanced you want your website features, navigation, and tools you want present, you may need to get help from a developer.

Limited Integration: Unlike Shopify that has a comprehensive app store, Wix has minimal integration features and apps that can help you to upsell, market, and sell properly.

Growth Opportunities: Wix is great for a starter website for your business, but when it comes to eCommerce growth, hosting more products, handling more website traffic, or multiple webpages growth will be an issue. Wix is beautifully built but not for scaling without lifting a more than needed heavy load of work.

Website Plans:

VIP: US$24.50/month

Unlimited: US$12.50/month

Combo: US$8.50/month

Business Plans:

Business VIP: US$35/month

Business Unlimited: US$25/month

Business Basic: US$17/month

Best Shopify Alternatives 2#: Squarespace

Best For: Squarespace is best for small businesses that need beautifully designed websites without coding or overly complicated themes.

Pro's:Beautiful template designs, ideal for small business, improved customer support, and cost-effective plans.

Beautiful Template Design: Squarespace and Wix both take the spot for the best Shopify Alternatives regarding ease of customization and beautifully designed themes. Square space has a wide range of stunning themes and templates that business owners can use to create a minimalistic look and feel or a bold and colorful eCommerce store to match your brand.

Ideal for Small eCommerce Stores: If you're a small business owner, influencer, or startup eCommerce store, then Squarespace is the platform for you. Squarespace features, set up and selling process that has a very small learning curve and allows you to set up shop in hours despite your lack of eCommerce experience.

Improved Customer Support: Over the years, Squarespace's customer service has always been a con. This was mostly because 24/7 customer support only came with advanced Squarespace plans. However, that's changed; now, all plans come with 24/7 customer support. Now they've improved and been awarded for superb customer service support for their clients. It's a service that users can count on when using this Shopify alternative.

Cost-Effective Plans: Squarespace comes with a wide range of payment plans that fit any budget. You can pay monthly or annually (where you save up to 30% off). Not to mention

Con's: limited multi-channel features, limited add ons and tools, and heavy transaction fees.

Limited Multi-Channel Features: Unlike Shopify, you won't be able to add multi-channel features where you can directly connect and sell from Amazon, Esty, Instagram, and Facebook pages with Shopify. Squarespace acts as a standalone eCommerce channel, and you'll have to sell from other channels manually.

Limited Add-ons and Tools: Adding apps and integrating with Squarespace can be a hassle from the back end. It has limited integration and not as many apps as Shopify. You can only access eCommerce features, like gift cards and abandoned cart recovery, only with the $46 plan.

Heavy Transaction Fees: Most plans come with a 3% transaction fee. When compared to Shopify's, it's pretty hefty. To avoid that transaction fee, you'll have to choose the $30 or $46 monthly plan. Therefore, comparing Shopify vs. Squarespace, Shopify will probably end up being more cost-effective if you're looking to operate a solid eCommerce store.

Price:

Personal: US$16/month

Business: US$26/month

Commerce: US$30/month

Advanced Commerce: US$46/month

Best Shopify Alternatives 3#: BigCommerce

Best For: BigCommerce is best for eCommerce owners who want to make sales without paying transaction fees and product inventory.

Pro's: No transaction fees, advanced reporting and gift cards, and a user-friendly platform.

No Transaction Fees: BigCommerce takes the cake as a great Shopify alternative for making sales without worrying about transaction fees from every purchase. BigCommerce doesn't have a payment processing system like Shopify Payments. However, you can integrate over 65 payment gateways so you can collect payments without added transaction fees.

Advanced Reporting & Gift Cards: Unlike Shopify, which needs you to either add an app or upgrade for gift cards and advanced reporting BigCommerce allows you to access these two features across all their plans.

User-Friendly Platform: BigCommerce is also extremely user-friendly. Their platform is far more simplified when it comes to setting up your eCommerce store compared to Wix, Squarespace, and Shopify combined.

Con's: Limited online sales and integration options.

Limited Online Sales: BigCommerce limits how many online sales you can make a year regardless of your plan. Shopify doesn't impose this limit, but it will request business documents to ensure that you're complying with tax and business requirements.

Limited Integration Options: BigCommerce now has an app store similar to Shopify; however, there are often limitations on the app integrating features or problems.

Price:

BigCommerce Standard: $29.95 /month

BigCommerce Plus: $79.95/month

BigCommerce Pro: $299.95/month

Best Shopify Alternatives 4#: 3dcart

Best For: 3dcart is best for developers who are comfortable editing in HTML/CSS code for design flexibility.

Pro's: Best built-in features, payment options, and coding flexibility.

Best Built-in Features: 3dcart has a built-in feature that allows you to add autoresponders, inventory management, advanced productivity tools similar to Shopify, so you won't need to find third-party apps to integrate.

Amazing Payment Options: 3dCart offers a wider range of payment plans when compared to Shopify or Shopify alternatives. Each plan is more prominent than the rest, so it's easy to scale your business as it grows.

HTML/CSS Flexibility: 3dcart allows developers to code to their hearts content. Instead of sticking with themes, you can create your website from scratch or add features that are limited in themes. 3dcart also has dev features that can equip them to complete their sites as well.

Con's: Outdated themes, HTML/CSS required, bad user-interface, limited add-on features, and poor customer service.

Outdated Themes: Most of the themes on 3dcart are outdated and are not as modern as themes on other Shopify alternatives like Wix or Squarespace. Most of the themes are clunky or cluttered and don't seem to be updated regularly.

HTML/CSS Required: This is a pro as well as a con. Since most of 3dcart's themes are unappealing, you'll need to create your own or code to modify your store to your liking. With no technical knowledge of coding, you won't be able to make simple or complex changes on your website without a developer.

Bad User-Interface: Next to clunky and outdated themes, the backend user interface of this Shopify alternative comes with a heavy learning curve. So even if you get a developer to do the heavy lifting of creating your store, you'll still need to take the time to learn how to use the platform.

Limited Add on Features: Outside of 3dcarts built-in features, there are very limited options to add outside apps, software, or components. This can hinder eCommerce store owners who want to add multi-channel, marketing, dropshipping or third-party integrations for sales.

Poor Customer Service: 3dcart has a long-standing history of terrible customer service. It still seems to be in the works as they now offer toll-free numbers, live chat, and self-serve support options. However, compared to Shopify, which will resolve your issues within 24 hours, depending on the severity, 3dcart has a longer resolution time regardless of the issue's level.

Price:

Startup Store: $19/month

Basic Store: $29/month

Plus Store: $39.50/month

Power Store: $129.50/month

Pro Store: $1229/month

Best Shopify Alternatives 5#: Volusion

Best For: Volusion is best for mico or very small eCommerce business owners looking for low transaction rates.

Pro's: Best features and expertise plus payment processing.

Features & Expertise: Volusion has built-in professional features such as secure checkout, recurring payments, CRM software, and more. You can have all the tools you need to manage your eCommerce store without heavily relying on third-party integrations.

Payment Processing: Volusion allows you to connect various payment gateways to your eCommerce store with low transaction rates for each purchase. Volusion will not charge you an additional transaction fee for using a third-party payment provider. But if you use Volusion Payments, you'll see similar transaction fees on Shopify, such as 2.15% + $0.30.

Con's: Pricing, and you'll be unable to scale.

Pricing: Volusion's pricing options are not as flexible as others. The lowest price is only $29/month. Compared to other Shopify alternatives, which have plans as low as $19-25/month.

Unable to Scale: Volusion is great if you're just starting or looking to keep your business at the same size or scale for years, but it's a major con when it comes to growth. Volusion doesn't allow add on theme options or the flexibility to upgrade your store for massive traffic or sales.

Price:

Personal: $29/month

Professional: $79/month

Business: $299.50/month

Best Shopify Alternatives 6#: Magento

Best For: Magento is best for fast-growing or scaling eCommerce businesses that need more customization and add-on tool options.

Pro's: Easy to scale and highly customizable.

Easy to Scale: Scaling on an eCommerce platform is no easy task. Magneto allows you to continually scale your business regardless of your industry, needs, products, or customization requirements. You can also introduce global expansion and omnichannel features to maximize your reach. Additionally, Magento includes instant purchase, site search, and the ability to integrate with any of the hundreds of extensions in their marketplace.

Highly Customizable: There are a lot of moving parts. With Magneto, you can not only scale your business but customize your eCommerce store to your goals and needs. You'll get instant access to Magento's source code, so your developer can dive in.

Con's: It can be very expensive and you'll need a developer.

It's Expensive: Compared to Shopify and all the other Shopify alternatives listed here, Magento has the most expensive plans. Since Magento is purely for brands already in need of expansion, their target audience can afford to pay $500 and up for their plans.

You'll Need a Developer: To fully utilize Magento, you'll need to hire a developer so they can help to design or migrate your site securely to Magento. You'll also need one to ensure that all your code and features are working properly rather than hindering your eCommerce store's process.

Price: Pricing gets a little complicated. They currently don't display their prices, so you'll need to book a demo with them for more information.

Best Shopify Alternatives 7#: WooCommerce

Best For: WooCommerce is best for WordPress built websites looking for an eCommerce solution.

Pro's: Easy to customize, usability, and cost-effective plans.

Easy to Customize: WooCommerce features can be modified specifically for your business needs. As a WordPress Plug-In, you can customize your WordPress eCommerce store with built-in payments, selling options, product variations, images, and customizations.

Usability: Most WordPress apps come with a massive learning curve; however, with WooCommerce, usability is fairly simple. Even if you don't have any technical skills, you can step up your eCommerce store, but a developer would be best to get the most out of this platform.

Cost-Effective Plans: WooCommerce is the cheapest Shopify Alternative. It's free to download and integrate, but you'll have to select a plan to go further. WooCommerce does not charge any additional fees for payment processing, other than those that come directly from your provider.

Con's: This platform is made for WordPress

Made for WordPress: WooCommerce is limited as a WordPress app. This affects scalability and built-in functions. Compared to Shopify that can integrate other apps and features, WooCommerce can only be used on its own, which means multi-channel or omnichannel marketing isn't an option.

Price:

StartUp: $3.95/month

GrowBig: $6.45/month

GoGeek: $211.95/month

Summary

When it comes to choosing Shopify alternatives, it all boils down to finding the right features, payment, and plans to help you reach your eCommerce and sales goals.

While some Shopify alternatives might have more affordable plans, they may be missing key features you need to grow. Or while others might offer multiple features, you might just need a basic plan to get started.

Always remember that you can change eCommerce platforms at the end of the day, whether you're ready to try something new or need a bigger, bolder plan.
