Hello!

[Former_Member]

Just like to introduce myself. My name is Deanna. I opened my shop OikosDesigns a month ago. I would love any feedback that you could offer. I have yet to make a sale, I know it's only been a month. I'm just looking for suggestions.
Thanks!

List more items, can't stress this enough. It helps soooooooo much it helps you get found more. Also try and use all your 5 photos in listing people like to see every aspect/angle if they are going to spend their money.

It's hard to tell what your profile picture is because it has words on it. You should also work on getting more items; the more items you have the more views it brings into your shop. If you haven't yet you should try promoting on other websites. Here is a link to 116 places you can promote. I don't recommend you do all of them. Just pick a few you can focus on otherwise you can't put much effort into it.
Good luck and hope this helps :)

I also noticed you don't have any shop policies. This is something you should have :)

Thanks Allison and Maddie! I didn't see the link though. May I ask how more items bring in more views?

Oops I forgot to put it lol.

More items bring in more views because there are more opportunities to be found in search or other websites. People will be brought to your shop by one item and then can have more choices to view your other items.

If you haven't you should go through the seller handbook. It has lots of useful information and tips.

Thanks for the Link! I've browsed the Handbooks and am continually reading and learning as I go. My shop policies are now up!
Any suggestions for pictures when Im selling digital files?

Your pics look really nice, but your thumbnails cut off some of the words.
I mostly noticed on the ones like these:

If possible you might want to fix them.

No easy way to fix that. Had to resize in the program. Now, though they don't show as big in the display area. Still look nice though. Thank you very much for your help. My traffic yesterday was way more than I have had the whole time I've been open!
