Ok I realize that 2 months on Etsy is not time at all, but any ideas, critiques are welcome.
I've worked on photos & SEO's (but could always be better)
-Facebook page, Pinterest page w/mood boards, Twitter page trying for daily tweets
-3 treasury lists
-Present on the forums almost daily
-Just started Tumblr last week
-Added PayPal few days ago (should of done that day one-oops!)
-Signed up for Google Analytics today/which is now kicking in-yay!
-Added my friend to the shop (we figure 2 knitters is better than one)
-Lots of views &favs. (especially since the change to activity feeds).

I just can't seem to get to the point of sales.......

HMMMM. This is honestly a tough one. You seem to be doing everything right, your pictures are great, and you have a nice amount of items in your store....

One of the things that I did notice is that all of your items are fairly brightly colored, even though they are all beautiful. I would maybe try knitting some scarfs,hats, gloves in darker colors maybe a grey, but still keep your style. Kind of appeal to all types. It's worth a shot. Who knows?! Maybe someone stumbled across your shop and thought, " MAN! I really love that sweater but I wish they had it in black!"

As I said, you seem to be doing everything a successful seller should be doing. And you're right 2 months isn't very long at all. I believe you're on the right track :)

I'm brand new to this and am interested in what you all think of my store, good and bad - I am going to add another 10 items or so this weekend.

Christina - I think your page is fabulous and I pinned a couple of items, as I said I'm brand new to this so I don't have any experience but some advice I was given was to start a blog following my story of my creations, offering a tutorial every now and again, I don't know if this is something you have done or not, maybe it is something to think about. Good luck, I think your items are lovely.

Thank you soooo much Heather and Elayine for your advice! I'm making a to-do list right now, every single bit of perspective really helps.

Elayine, the important thing is not get overwhelmed. Pick one thing, say facebook page,twitter, about, pictures & focus on it for a couple of days-then move on to the next. Ask lots of questions, find teams, be present of the forums- you'll learn something new every time.
Here's a link that a kind soul shared on the forum. I go back to it all the time because it puts confusing info into easy to understand terms-made a lot of sense out the madness for me, lol

I wanted to share a website with you both. I just found out about it the other day. It's " FotoFuze.com" It helps you turn your pics into those stunning white backgrounds you see everyone having. It does make your pics look more professional. It's free, I just thought I'd share that with you :)
