Growing my business niche from Etsy

[Owlfill]

Hello, I just happen to stumble to this forum and found it interesting. I am new so not sure if this is the correct place, but I will try and see. I have been on Etsy for 3 years and sold over 3k items. I started with custom Snapchat geofilters and printable invitation. I have recently switch over to focus on selling Cards. Cards for birthdays, graduations, and greeting cards. I have found much success with this item. I sell 15-20 cards a day. I tried to branch out with my website but had little success. I am wondering how can I scale up my greeting card business. If anyone has tips or suggestions I would greatly appreciate it.

I'm surprise people still buy cards I guess you've stumbled on a unmet niche. Do you print them yourself? Are you in any other platforms but other than etsy?

Yes I was surprise as well when they starting selling. I mainly sell on Etsy and have a website. I use a manufacturer that also ships the cards.

Try marketing on Pinterest. Your business will be perfect there. Have you tried marketing at all?

Just curious, how many listings on Etsy do you have?
It seems there's a strong co-relation between the number of sales and the number of listings on Etsy.

I'm using eRank to track over 45 of my competitors:

I've cropped out the shop names, but from the table, it seems generally the more you have, the higher the chances your items gets shown on the first pages.

* The Week column indicates the number of sales they made per week, so the first guy made 9294 sales that week. Damn, if I can make 350 sales per week, I can quit my day job for good.
