Advice and help appreciated!

I just started my store about a week ago. I have been promoting like crazy, but all it is really getting me is views. I would really love to turn some of these views into sales.

Aside from the pendants that are in my shop now, I plan to add some coasters. Unfortunately my first set isn't quite ready to be listed yet (they are drying).

I just learned about policies yesterday, so I finally have those written. I also know I have rather horrid photography skills...

Any and all advice is welcome.

Hi Stephanie, Im on a learning curve and no expert.
Something that has helped me.Some jewellery looks good when you put it through the free website fotofuze.com
It doesnt work for all items and can look harsh at times but can help clarify your piece as it gives it a clear white background.Not everyones cup of tea. have a look and see if you would like it.
For an amatuer photographer like myself it has helped spruce up my items so customers can see them clearly. Also displaying the jewellery on a manikin so customers can see how it looks when worn.
ok best wishes

Hi I think it's best on a plain background and perhaps outdoor lighting?
These might look great outside in nature
Like on a rock or on some drift wood
Just thoughts

Thanks guys. Im currently putting my photos that can be put through fotofuze.come without issues. It really does make them much better (more like how they actually look in person).

I've also kind of been wondering if my prices seem alright. I did searches on similar items and found quite a range on them, so I priced them at the lower end of the spectrum.

I am not sure I am understanding this. They have control on everything and they can change your banner and stuff?
