Re: Driving Traffic

If you haven't yet, create a Facebook and Twitter account for your shop and link them in your shop. Brush up on hashtags and experiment with them when posting to your Twitter account.

#etsy #shopping #handmade #giftideas #handmadecandles #handmadesoap would be great hashtags for your shop.

I use HootSuite to manage my social media accounts. I can pre-schedule my tweets and fb posts (with links straight to my shop, sections, or individual listings) throughout the course of the day, optimizing for higher traffic.

Leave comments (something better than "Oh, this is nice!") on blogs that are relevant to what you're selling in your shop. You can and should leave a backlink to your shop whenever you do so but be sure your anchor text is also relevant to your shop. (In the name field, you'd leave the name of your shop and in the website url field, you'd leave your shop's url address.)

I have found Pinterest very useful for driving traffic to my Etsy shop. I know there's mixed reviews on Pinterest but it's been helpful for me.

I've had a few views with Pinterest, as well. I get ecstatic whenever my pins are repinned, even if it is a nofollow site. =P

Re: Driving Traffic

It is great to do outside promoting, but also, do some promoting on the etsy site also. The best way is to get involved with teams. There are a lot of like minded people on the site that you can learn from, but also, there are other sellers who will be looking for Christmas gifts online as the holiday approaches.

Keep up the good work!
