Critique a Newbie Shop - Posters (Promoting advice)

Hi,
I'm new in Etsy community and I opened my shop 4 days ago. I would appreciate if somebody can tell me what can I improve in my shop?

I've started illustrating posters and submitting them, one every day, but I have less then 10 shop views in my stats. I've submitted links to my items on Instagram and Twitter. Is there a better way to promote my shop?

Thank you

Love your art. Two things stand out to me. You need a lot more listings and you need an about page. I'm new to etsy too. There is a team that I'm on that really specializes in artwork and helps out the artists. Daily Etsy sales.

I think that's where you need to be to get your answers. Your artwork is adorable. It will sell.
good luck.

Your stuff is super cute!

As Robin said, you really do need to add more things to your store.

Also, you will need to work on your tags and titles. For instance, you might want to title it "Cactus Illustration/ Bright Cartoon Illustration/ Free Hugs". Than have your tags match the title. So some of your tags will be:

Cactus Illustration
Bright Cartoon
Cartoon Illustration
Free Hugs
(of course use all 13 of your tags, this is just an idea how to match titles and tags)

If possible, tags should include at least one adjective and a noun that accurately describes your item. Take the tags you have and make your title from that. Your higher item searches will be the ones you want in both title and tag.

For example, "cactus illustration" isn't as popular as "cactus art". If you are low on room in your title, put cactus art in both and cactus illustration in just a tag. "Free hugs artwork" is a better tag than "free hugs", because it covers free hugs, free hugs artwork, and hugs artwork as well as all three words individually.

I made my About Page and changed the Tags in Cactus Illustration. I will change Tags in other posters...

Melissa :) your keyword suggestions are a BIG Help, I will use this for my future submissions.

If you use a comma space instead of " / " in your titles, it will save you a character for every word grouping and you can copy and paste it into the tags line to make sure that your titles and tags match.
