Any Advice?

Hi!

So, I opened my shop last month and I have had 1 sale... My traffic is very slow :(. I spend hours on here trying to promote my new items and I try to make a treasury every 2 days... Am I just doing something wrong? Do my tags look ok? Is there anything I can do better?

I would really appreciate any help!

Thank you very much!

Hi Brit,

I think you are doing well. I have done my first sale at the first month. This is quite good. For me things are going very slow at the moment. I consider as silent before storm. Maybe people are waiting for holiday sales. You shop look fine for me but there are many compilation out there and it takes time to establish a business. Patience is important i guess.
Good luck.

The best to you and your new shop. In looking at your lovely items, I can only suggest a wording change in some of your titles. Instead of the color first, list the stone used, then the colors. Match the titles to discriptions and tags. Policies are good. Congrats on your first sale, and here's to many more......Judy

Hey TheLittleHappyGoose,

Welcome! As judithbelloriginals, mentions above, one thing you might consider is to optimize your titles and tags for Etsy search. You can read more about some strategies you can use to bring your items up in search, here:

Remember to put the most important keywords and phrases near the front of your titles.

Hope this helps!
