How to get more views/sales?

[handmadebyhannah00]

Hi!
Ive been on etsy for a few months, and I haven't been doing too good. The search ads are helping a little, but I'm spending more money than I'm making, so I need to stop them. How can I make my shop more successful? Are there any ways to advertise for free? Thanks.

You have to work on SEO, titles, keywords, etc. If you are relevant in searches, you won't need to pay for ads.
Research SEO (search engine optimization), learn it and apply it to your shop.
Join Facebook, Join Twitter, Wanelo, etc.
Learn about googleadwords, SEO, etc.
It takes a lot of work and research.
Also, you're only in 2 circles. You need to join more circles, get involved, get your shop noticed.

You can read a lot on SEO here and learn about it:

I also suggest working on your photos. It's not easy, but so worth it! Some of your photos are dark, others are great. I suggest having some consistency and cohesion among your photos.

Many of your listings are for one (or five) items, but there are more items in the first picture. Perhaps you could create a listing for each color you have available. That way, you'd have a lot of listings, and so would come up in searches more often.

Try to use all five photos available. How about showing one of your bracelets on a wrist? Maybe a close-up of the closure? That kind of description means nothing to me, because I don't make jewelry. It looks like you use a few different knots - how about zooming in on some of them? What if 7.5 inches is too big for me? I have tiny wrists, and bracelets always fall off. Will you shorten bracelets upon request? How long is 7.5 inches in centimeters?

Having an online presence as Pandi said, as well as creating a cohesive collection of items that creates a specific feeling when visitors come to your shop.

good idea about writing the length in centimeters!
I have added bracelets to my shop that are not adjustable, too.
thanks everyone! i've been working really hard on my shop, let me know what you think so far. The first page is almost done, and i plan on working on the second page of items later this week.
