Less Views

I've had a lower number of views in last couple of days (76 so far today) but trying not to let it get to me, lol

Hoping its because the sun is out in UK for a change ;-)

How do you deal with low views and keep high spirit? I've been creating more in last couple of days and trying not to spend to much time checking my stats, lol

Also, in the US it is last week to get your taxes filed before the April 15th deadline, A lot of people are buried under a mountain of paperwork today or standing in line at H&R Block. :)

Re: Less Views

I noticed too that views are extremely slow this month. I'm only getting about 120 viewers a day which is lower than the previous months.

Re: Less Views

I'm so impressed with the 76 views per day! My shop has taken a downturn since the beginning of the year. Any tips? I was so busy last year that I could hardly see straight. This year... nada. Any advice for even those 76 views? Thanks!

Re: Less Views

It could be tax time, it could be Spring Break (which varies on the region), it could be because the sun is shining...lack of views/sales could be for a million different reasons. We just have to keep plugging along, because it WILL pick up. Sooner or later. I'd prefer sooner :)

Re: Less Views

Wow, I wish I had that many views in a single day. I'm lucky if I get past 10. I have no real idea how to change that. I have been all over social media, and it doesn't seem to make much difference. It's very frustrating.

Re: Less Views

Crystal Eldridge I really hope you'll get more views soon because your works are amazing! I'm keeping my fingers crossed both for you and me ;) oh, I do hope so it's only because of the taxes, it's been slow for me too.

Re: Less Views

Hi Crystal, just had a quick look at your shop, your work is lovely :-)

It could be that you SEO needs working on, and apparently the first 3 words of your Title are most important in searches and for Google. You also need to. Ensure that the Keywords you use to describe you product are also in you descriptions as well as your tags.

I haven't had proper look yet but will this evening after a busy day of creating ahead. Another useful tip I have learnt is to use 2 word or 3 word tags describing your item (so long us not over 20 characters) you are more likely to be found more then

Hope this helps

Have nice day :-)

Re: Less Views

Hi Crystal, I hope you won't mind if I add a few thoughts about your titles and tags as well. These are the most important key to being found and of course getting more views.
I had a look at your shop and you should be getting more views because your work is lovely. I noticed that most of your art has the same title - Original Pastel Painting - and this means that you have all your eggs in one basket so to speak.
If you mix it up a bit you will get more people who look for children's art using searches will find you.
e.g. you could try some of the following for titles:
Childrens Pastel Painting, Childrens Duck Art, Nursery Wall Art, Nursery Duck Print etc. If you put some of these phrases in to the search box at the top of the FP the drop down box will give you other alternatives which are the most popular search categories and you can then choose what ones suit your prints.
Same with tags - mix it up a bit. original art print, nursery duck print, rubber duck print, yellow duck art etc. (As you can tell I mainly focused on one of your rubber duckie prints.) Try new titles and tags in the search box (before you write your titles) and see what suggestions are in the drop down box that you can use. The more diverse titles and tags are the more you will be found.
In the titles I use for my headpieces I use all the allowable characters and try different things and over time my views have increased a lot.
Maybe take a look at other sellers shops with children's art and thier listings to see what they are using especially the ones who come up on the first page of a search.
I hope some of this will be a help to you. Other sellers were kind enough to help me with info in the early days of my shop so I am happy to share now.

Re: Less Views

Argh, I am in the same boat this month- I had 15 sales last month (of my total 26 since opening in December, and I've only made 1 freaking sale this month!)

It's a little unnerving and scaring me! I feel everything I've done and invested in isn't good enough!

Trying to stay strong though :)

Re: Less Views

@Kristen - To increase your views/sales join Etsy groups that are geared around promoting.. The days I am active on those groups I will tend to have 200+ views a day

When I am not active on the group forums my typical views are around 40. I would love to increase that number. I updated all my listings and tags this AM. Hopefully this will increase my shops traffic.
