Etsy buyers pay for the opportunity to buy from a real person. This is the premise that differentiates Etsy from the competition, as it makes it the worst place to put mass produced text.
So the writer’s first job is catching how you talk about your work: what you call your materials, how long a piece takes, what you refuse to do. That stays in the listing rather than getting smoothed out.
Handmade items require description because of the uniqueness. Uneven boards require mentioning. More dye will most likely be absorbed by darker wood more so than lighter wood. A scarf listed that is made to order in three weeks should not hold a blanket disclaimer explaining that the reason why it is three weeks is so you can select your scarf from the options that you like. People are aware that buying on Etsy requires a three week wait for most orders. These listings actually receive less emails and better reviews than listings without a description of the variation.
Etsy customers are able to identify generated copy due to the training that Etsy’s platform has supplied them with. Listing scans that begin with a rhetorical question and offer 3 generalized benefits suggest a drop ship listing. With certainty, customers will begin to post reviews regarding the suspicious listing. The perception is nearly impossible to revert.
A piece starts with a conversation or a voice note. It helps a lot. You get ten minutes of a maker talking about their choice of thread and give you more input than a spec sheet ever does. A listing gets its structure from that then I add tags and set the title last.
Shop design can be about either one long, cohesive shop or several, properly separated areas. We structure listings to have a shared opening and to consistently name materials, sizes, and predicted completion times. A buyer moving from one listing to the next will feel like they are looking at the work of one maker. Shop announcements and section descriptions can all be done in one go.
One rate, whatever the format: $10 per 100 words. You are paying for the writer’s time and judgement, so the price scales with the words rather than with a package tier.

Yes. Tell us the volume and cadence and we keep the same writer on the account so the voice stays consistent. The rate does not change with volume.
Ask on the contact page and a person will answer, usually the same working day. For a live order, reply to your confirmation email and it reaches whoever is handling it.
This is the purpose of the voice note. The writer generally works from your description of the work and sends the first paragraph back to you so that you can correct anything that may be problematic with the voice. The writer does this to avoid having you correct twenty lists.
Yes, and they are valuable because these sections appear along with the listings. “About” sections provide maker stories, which individual listings only provide in a glimpse. There are buyers who make purchases based on “About” section listings. Often those buyers are the ones who purchase the more expensive item.

Reviews from completed, paid orders in this category.
The buying guide compares our stock to a competing product and finds that the competitor is better for winter camping. I was going to request to remove that row, but I believe in transparency; it’s better to leave it in. Customers are now saying that comparison builds their trust in our products.
Sixty category pages is the size of an order where you start to worry about how long it will take to get through about forty. I read all of them. The descriptions of the products in the categories of oud and rose, written by two different people, contain no common sentences. It was worth paying someone to do these descriptions.
By the time October comes around, all Christmas gift guides have the same content. One of our guides features instructions on how to offer gift ideas to someone who is really hard to shop for, and customers seem to be sharing that one the most.
