Help! Tags, titles etc.

[Former_Member]

Ok, so I just created my shop at the beginning of July and things were starting to go really well then all of a sudden this week has barely done anything!

I thought it might be the tags I was using so I changed them up...nothing.

I have tried to take better shots of my items using the right sunlight and exposure....nothing.

I thought my descriptions weren't appropriately describing my products so i changed some of those..nothing.

This is my only creative outlet while I am in PA being my mother's caregiver. I wasn't measuring success on my sales, but on my views which have dropped to almost nothing. I used to able to search and at least find my products, but now after going through four or five pages of items my items aren't even there.

Please someone, help me! I am feeling very lost.

The search has changed within the last few days. You have cute titles, but that won't cut it anymore, sorry to say. Make sure your first three words are something that someone would search for.

For instance, how many people will search for Funny Faces Halloween? Instead they will search for Halloween Party Invitations. So put those first. And make sure to also use those three important words in your tags too.
