How to get more views

[Former_Member]

Hello everyone!

The last 3 months have been really slow and I keep updating titles,adding new listings and all the basic SEO tips but I don't notice any change in views. Is there anything else I should do?

This summer has been difficult for all .... :(((
In September, it should be better

I'm glad it's not just me. Even new items and updates haven't really helped me. The only thing that I've found that helps is regular posting to external social media like Facebook or Pinterest and being active in the Etsy groups.

You might want to make some changes to your shop. The monotony of having all the photos virtual the same and having a logo in every photo is VERY hard on the eyes. One of your feature items is also in the row below making it even more monotonous.

Get rid of the logos on the photos. Go online and look at any really successful retailer - for example mikimoto.com - they never spam their name or logo because they want the product to speak.
Your descriptions, in terms of number of lines are very, very long, yet they don't tell any story and create any glamour/sex appeal/desire for your items. You have excessive, multiple spaces between sections. I had to use page-down 4 times to get to the bottom.

And you don't want views you want sales. I've been in business for 20 years and it took me the first 5 years to understand the difference. You want to create an atmosphere where the right person - the one who is ready to buy - has no reason to anything but click "add to cart."

You're not looking for more views, you're looking for the right views.

Pricing things for $12.99 works on Walmart.com - not on Etsy. Bump those prices up to 13 even or back down to $12.50 or $12.00.

I read in the forums the other day: What have you done to promote yourself today?

I promised myself to ask myself this every day. Keep adding to and improving your shop. If you change something in your shop, give it time and evaluate.

Promote outside Etsy. Blog and share your craft, share meaningful articles to facebook, support other artists, socialise and be yourself on Facebook, Instagram and so on. dive in to the community and promote yourself. And promoting doesn't have to be a BUY NOW. Writing an informative blog or article or having fun with likeminded people might make people just as curious (if not more) about your business.

Good luck and love your shop <3
