If you missed the most recent Q&A session with Etsy’s current CEO, Josh Silverman, which was held over in the Etsy forums on December 13th, 2017, then I’ve got you covered in this episode.
I waded through the Etsy Forum thread where the session was held and in this week’s episode I am giving you a recap of the questions that Josh answered and what his responses were.
The topics ranged from Etsy search (a perennial favorite) to the future of Pattern by Etsy… From the future of vintage and antiques on Etsy to Etsy’s content-specific rankings (CSR), and much much more.
Prior to this particular Q&A, Josh did a video that was sort of a “state of the Etsy Union” and in some of his responses, he referenced this video recording. you can find it below in the Resources Mentioned so you can watch it and understand his responses that back to it.
Even though the Etsy Forums are open and public, I thought it would be nice to link back to the shops of the people whose questions were answered by Josh Silverman so you can check them out… You will find those links below.
Let’s continue this conversation… Please leave a comment below and let me know what you think about the information Josh shared… Or come on over and join the Etsy Conversations Facebook group (see link below as well) and start or join a discussion about this Q&A session.
