Sales.

Hello Everyone!
How have your Sales been the past few weeks? I know I'm still new to the Etsy Community. I came out of the gates pretty strong, but I haven't had a sale now in two weeks. Makes me a little nervous.
I need to keep adding inventory and hope for the best! How is everyone else doing?!

I have been open just a little over a month and just had my first sale. Patiently waiting for more. I am busy making more wreaths and trying to add them as I go. working on my seo and hoping for the best.

Congratulations on your first sale! Such an exciting time!

[LittleZebrasBoutique]

I know! Now if I could just get some more:)

I have heard that the more you add things, the sooner they show up in the searches so maybe you just have to add a new item so your shop appears sooner.

I check my listings and for the most part they are on the first two pages. I only have 14 items in my shop. So I must have good seo?

[Former_Member]

I'm wondering how that works to! If your listing is on the first two pages, does that mean you're doing a good job with your tags and such?

Just opened shop minutes ago. Deep breaths! I'm barely getting started, and only have up a giclee printing for now as I develop the "real products" that I want to offer. Just reading all the advice, the most common phrase was "GO FOR IT" ...so I did.... and I'm a little terrified, but excited too. I really have no idea what I'm doing, but it's fun!
Fingers crossed!

Yes, when your items show up close to the top of searches thats a good thing!! Eventually if no items are bought it will slowly make its way further from the beginning though. Revisit the tags every couple weeks so see if there are any new tags you have come up with.

And Julia, congrats on opening! Good luck! and remember to be patient.
