I need so help with getting my items seen. I list an item and views are minimal. I see others listing an item and they have 300+ views in just a few minutes. HOW DO THEY DO IT?

I have tried to use a showcase, but when I try to do that all dates say (0 left).

Also, is there a setting that will send you an email when someone creates a post?

hi there,

No one has 300+ in a few minutes - everytime you relist, the views do not reset. so dont worry about that :)

i think that your pictures need a little editting. try using an online editor. i really like picnik.com (i use color adjuster, wayyy up the exposure, and the sharpness just a little). but brighter/lighter/clearer pictures pop and make people click on them.

also think about the time of day that you relist. for my stuff, lunchtime (11-1 est) seems to generate the most views.

you're keywords could be better. check out what's trending in the treasuries. right now words like "springtime" "mothers day" and "pastel" are trending topics, so those would be good to include (if they are relevant).

i like how elements of nature inspire what you make. you start off your description with one little line about it that intrigues me, but it might be nice to elaborate on the story of how and why you made it.

i hope this helps!

I started social networking and it has helped a lot. Staying active on the forums and teams also helps. I did a facebook ad and it generated at least 70 new fans, then whenever I post a new item all of my fans see it. I also twitter, blog and have a different web site.

Thank you both for your responses! I will make use of your ideas and see what happens. Cuddle, I especially appreciate your input regarding my photos and listings. I took a look at your photos and see what you mean about crisp images. They are beautiful. In fact, The Mad Planter has amazing listings, as well. I will put your guidance to work. Thanks, again!

The Facebook Ad worked great for me too. I made the ad to generate new fans, like themadplanter said, they will see your items right there.
