Basic Marketing Strategy Etsy optimization tips: Use 7–10 high-quality mockup photos (create free in Canva: place PDF on desk/tablet). First photo = clean flat lay. Add keywords to photo titles. Simple promotion outside Etsy: Pinterest: Pin mockup images with keywords (free traffic). Instagram/TikTok: Short “how I use my daily planner” video (show printed pages). Free Facebook groups for planners/productivity. 15. Expansion Ideas Where else to sell: Gumroad, your own website (later), Teachers Pay Teachers (if teacher niche).
