Eager to learn from your critics

[Former_Member]

Hi everyone!

I'm totally new on Etsy. And totally new in selling in general. Just opened my shop and would like to hear your honest critique of my work and shop.

I create jewelry for years but have never sold anything. My jewelry creations were only for my wife till few days ago when I decided to take a chance and offer it to everyone here on Etsy (if I could find someone who likes it).

Please be direct. I really wish to learn from your critics.

They are realy interesting and different designs. I think you are off a great start. Your shop looks cohesive and the pictures are great! Now all you need is a marketing plan and more items.

For the marketing plan, who is your target market? How do you reach them? How do you drive people into your store? There are some good worksheets and arketing strategies alignment on Etsy so you are already into phase two fo your shop :)

Best of luck you are looking great ! Kristin

Your jewelry is original and unique and there is a market for this type of jewelry. There are shoppers who are looking for jewelry like this. Knowing how to find those shoppers who are very interested in this kind of jewelry is essential to making more sales.

One way to find those interested shoppers is to use more keywords in your shop and listings that would attract those shoppers.

Try the popular keywords, "Art Jewelry" in the shop title and in the listing tags.

You can find keywords that shoppers are using on Google Adwords Keyword Planner, a free keyword research tool. You will have to sign up for a Google adwords account but can suspend any ads you create. The ads never have to run and you can use the keyword planner as often as you like.
