14 sales in 7 months is really good for here, I had to wait over a year before I got my first jewelry sale, it just takes time...

No idea how to delete my last post! Anyone know? I meant to post that last one in a "promote thread." Sorry guys!

Anyways, hopefully things will pick up in the fall/winter

WHY ARE YOU YELLING?

[Former_Member]

Not everyone knows that caps is supposed to mean shouting. Am sure the OP isn't yelling.

As Amy said things take time and 14 sales is really good : )

[Former_Member]

I was just being silly :)

[stoneflysilver]

Thank you all, I only wanted to know, if I'm doing something wrong, because in the beginning my shop achieved more attention... That's all friends, have a beautiful day... ;)

You're shop and items look very nice; however, I think you need better presentation and definitely more items. Getting found is the big challenge but not impossible.

In summary:
*Improve you're photos -- white background, make the first photo just the item not with the ruler on it (that could be the second photo)
*Etsy uses "Relevancy" to find items when someone searches for items:
_Rewrite your titles to describe the item, the first 3 words are the most important.
_Rewrite your description to describe the item. Include in the first 2 lines the first 3 words of your title
_Rewrite your tags using phases, not just one word, and include words from your description
_Add more items to your shop

Join the Sassy Critique team and get your shop critiqued. Although it may take a little time to get feedback, the people there are very nice and they will do an excellent job. It's worth the wait. http://www.etsy.com/teams/7702/sassy-critiques

Etsy has lots and lots of videos on various aspects for selling. Take a little time each week to watch one or two videos. Just go to online labs http://www.etsy.com/community/online-labs

P.S. when you use all caps in a sentence on the internet, it looks like you are shouting. Etsy has a video on internet etiquette.

Good Luck

I meant to add think of your shop as a journey on creating and selling. You'll always be tweaking your shop to make it better. And you will also need to promote your shop outside of Etsy.

Most important, it does take time.

[stoneflysilver]

Thank you very much, it's time to get to work now... and I'm sorry for shouting... ;)

[NeedaCraftRoom]

you need patience that is all..i know it's difficult :)

[stoneflysilver]

I am patient... beleave me... but one or two sales a week will make me more patient... ;)

[stoneflysilver]

Please tell me what do you think about the pricing.... thanks in advance...

[stoneflysilver]

Thank you all for your constructive comments, they helped me a lot ... I changed some things in my shop and apparently it took effect - I immediately realized two sales, so I continue to improve ... Thanks again and I wish you wonderful days ...

Just thought I'd say I really like your jewellery, it's really unusual :) I had a look at your policies and must admit that I liked the fact they were so simple, they get to the point and tell people the important stuff like shipping and refunds.

I do think it's a slow season, I'm sure things will pick up, I think your shop is really nice :)

Good luck,

Chloe xx

Hello Chloe, that's so kind from you, and your words are so nice...
Thank's a lot... ;)

It takes time dear. Took me almost 6 months. Normally this time of year of slow, but this year has been good to me thankfully so I can get those dang bills paid. Just keep your chin up, take advantage of all the free advertising you can and things will eventually pick up.

Blessed Be

With four million pieces of jewelry for sale on Etsy, it can take a while to get noticed. I'm in my second year and am still waiting to get noticed. If I didn't do shows, I would have to get a real job, but my show sales keep me going.

[stoneflysilver]

Hey people, you are so positive and stimulating in your comments that is the enough реасон for me to move forward ... Please accept my sincere best wishes, God bless you ...

[Former_Member]

Odd suggestion... Add your location? For some reason I think buying a handmade piece of jewelry from Bulgaris would add to the interest of the pieces. I didn't see location anywhere until I went looking for it under shipping

[LauraCColeCo]

TOTALLY agree with what AnnslieefromAnnsliee said.

Once I changed my wording to match throughout my listings, things picked up, and it was very noticable.

Its the little things. I even streamlined my sections, and that helped. Youd be surprised at how much those little words mean something. But yes, your title is almost like keywords, then the description matches, then the keywords match. Some even though a few of those words in materials.

Good luck! It will blossom :).
