Seller research guides

Each guide is organized around a concrete seller decision: how to build a keyword set, screen a niche, audit tag coverage, compare a subscription cost, or calculate marketplace fees. The pages separate first-party platform rules from Research Desk workflow advice and mark unresolved evidence rather than filling gaps with plausible-looking claims.

Use the cluster links to move between adjacent tasks, the primary decision-page link when a tool comparison becomes relevant, and the published Divergence Report when a cross-tool evidence record is the better next step. Index eligibility is decided per page; analytics and email submission remain disabled, and approved referral routes are labeled and separated from editorial criteria.

The Etsy search sequence covers keyword collection, estimate interpretation, niche screening, tag allocation, free-tool limits, and the decision to buy software. The economics sequence connects subscription math, Etsy fees, and the 20-point shop audit. Separate workflows adapt the same evidence discipline to digital downloads, print on demand, and KDP metadata.
