Get 40 Free Listings to Launch Your Etsy Shop

Have you been thinking about opening up your own Etsy shop but worried about all the fees? I’ve got great news for you.

Etsy is offering new shops 40 free listings. That’s like getting $8 of free listings to test out selling on Etsy!

I know when I first opened my handmade t-shirt shop, putting up those first few listings felt scary. Every listing cost $0.20 and I wasn’t sure if anyone would even buy my designs.

But using Etsy’s 40 free listings offer let me experiment without risk. I could try out different product photos, prices, descriptions, and more to see what worked.

The best part?

These free Etsy listings don’t expire.

Why Should You Get 40 Free Listings on Etsy

As you may already know, Etsy is the most popular marketplace for handmade products, attracting nearly 100 million buyers each month.

With such a large audience, it is logical that sellers want to profit from it. That is why many creatives are selling their products on Etsy.

And I am one of them.

While opening an Etsy shop is free, activating your listings costs a $0,20 listing fee.

Not too much, you may think… but consider that this listing fee is automatically renewed every 4 months. If you have hundreds of active designs, it can quickly add up.

So, if you want to test the quality of your crafts and designs, why not give them a free test?

With 40 free listings, you can add 40 designs on Etsy without any cost, allowing you to test their potential for sales over the next 4 months.

Honestly, this is a great deal.

Want to find out how to claim your 40 free listings? I’ll walk you through step-by-step.

But First, Who’s Eligible for the Free Etsy Listings?

Before we get ahead of ourselves, you may be wondering – am I even eligible for this Etsy deal?

Well, here are the basic requirements:

• You cannot have an existing Etsy seller account
• You need to open your shop through this special link
• You must open the shop, not just a buyer account

So if you’ve purchased on Etsy before but never had your own shop, you’re good to go!

Just use the link I provided when signing up as a seller. It attaches the 40 free listings to your new shop automatically.

Checking Your Etsy Free Listing Balance

But how do you know if it actually worked?

After opening your shop, you should get an email from Etsy confirming your new shop.

But let’s double-check those free listings too.

Go to your shop manager dashboard and click “Listings” on the left.

In the top right corner under “Add a Listing” it should say 40. That’s your free listing balance! (I have 27 now).

As you start adding items to sell, this number will go down.

Pretty sweet deal, right?

Pro Tip: Make the Most of Your Free Etsy Listings

Now that you’ve got these free listings, how can you take full advantage?

Here are my top tips:

• Play around with titles and tags to see what gets more views
• Test renewing sold listings vs. new products
• Relist items that expire to keep refreshing your shop
• Use great photos and descriptions for higher sales
• Offer variations like color or size without extra fees

The more listings you can cycle through, the more chances for that first exciting sale! Listing more items also raises your Etsy shop to the top of searches.

It does take time and testing to succeed on Etsy. But you now have a risk-free way to begin that process and learn the Etsy selling game.
